J'adore SPRING!!!

Yaaay!!! Spring is finally here, and i couldn't be more excited!! Why do you ask? Because of the trends that men, and female will try, and hopefully succeed with wearing! What trend do I think is going to be a major must this season? First I think we will see a lot of people in Denim shirts they're really nice with linen pants, high waist skirts, and shorts. Needless to say I advised people not to wear denim tops, with denim bottoms. Example? If wearing a denim shirt either button up or maybe a pull over shirt, try something different with it, something out of the box. Try a vibrant color for your bottoms, whether there pants,skirt, or even tights! Don't be scared to try something different. I also love spring jackets, it's something about them that can make your outfit pop with originality a store where I'm in love with all their jackets is H&M and the color of the hour there is tickle me shades of pink, and different shades of beige. Next on the list is shoes! The shoes that are in full effect are the 1950's men inspired dress shoes.... I love how creative females are today because I see these shoes with Capri shorts,skinny leg jeans, and even tights. And they look great! You can find these fashion-forward "casual" shoes at JCPenny's new line called ; Olsenboye prensents'Parachute' Oxford

Lastly for your spring forecast I see rain boots, you know what they say "April Showers, bring May flowers" So before we get to the summer, and all it's fun, we have to dress for the weather, but that doesn't mean not dressed to kill. A website i love to go to and to see there various styles of rain boots is http://www.dllrainwear.com they have a wide selection of rain boots for all ages, and all genres of fashion such as rocker rain boots, pretty in pink inspired, and flower power. And there boots are really affordable.

I hope my prediction of spring wear is helpful, if you have any question or comments, don't be shy send me a e-mail.... yes I'll respond until next time Ciao!

Harem Pants, where will this trend take us?

Will Harem Pants be a fashion over-kill or will fashion trend fans "do it up big" this summer with the sleek, out-of-the-ordinary, complicated pants? Where did they come from? What are the prediction of these pants? Well ladies I've done my research and I'm hear to give you the scoop on these "fashion forward" pants.

Harem pants trend can be traced back nearly 2,000 years to traditional garments worn in western and southwestern Asia. These pants were known by many names, depending on their region. They can also be warn both by men, and women. (Remember Aladdin??) Some names for the style of pants are salwar, shalavar, or shalvaar. In Persian, the term literally means pants, as it is the Persians who first developed the pants as a form of garment. Modern versions of the salvars worn by females had slits on the sides up to the waistline. Which looks like the garment that belly dancers when performing. A key example of how FASHION ALWAYS RECYCLE IT'S SELF! These pants were worn for parties, and social functions only. In the western culture, these baggy pants were introduced as "bloomers" and "Turkish" trousers in the 1800. They were marketed as a form of women's dress that would allow for an active lifestyle without compromising a woman's decency, but they didn't catch on and were drooped by western society. AGAIN! They tired to reintroduced the pants in the 1900 by a French designer name Paul Poiret, but like before the trend failed as well. They were just worn as women's active sport pants. Not until 1980 did we see the effect that Harem pants had on the fashion world, and was introduced to the mainstream in MC Hammer's Can't touch this video. These pants then were also known as parachute pants, and were worn throughout the 80's. They disappeared in the 90's but now in the new decade are reappearing, and with a BANG. Celebs such as Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Steffani, and Rihanna are apart of this Harem pants phenomenon, and looks great in them. My PREDICTION for Spring/Summer 2010 is seeing a lot more of these chic pants. And not just for a night out on the town anymore. I'm seeing them with Flat sandals (dressed down) as well as heels, and dressy boots, I also see different prints such as zebra, cheetah, and stripes becoming pretty popular, well until all this snow has dissapered and the sun comes out, we shall see what the future holds. It's amazing how the fashion world can take ideas from the past, and make them into something spectacular.... I wonder what will happen to bonnets in about 4 years (lol) CIAO!
