Easy Like Sunday Morning

Whenever you want a break from the brights and florals of the summer, try go for soft and muted tones. This color palette is perfect for a laid back sunday morning and I'm in love with these "pretty ugly" Birkenstock Arizona sandals! When I first saw them, I just knew I had to borrow them from my friend Annie for this shoot. 

[Bloom into Spring Fashion: Menswear Edition]

DKNY Spring 2013



Spring, this season, is an exciting time for both menswear and womenswear! The bright colors of last spring are coming back bolder and louder than ever and no one is more excited to see these new trends than us. So we asked some of our close and most knowledgable friends to show us which spring trends they're excited for the most. Tell us how they did!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Antonio
The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer, we all know this means spring is around the corner! In menswear it seems like last years trends and this year trends are very similar I've found some promising highlights. Below are three spring trends I’m looking forward to this year.


The wide leg trouser look
Although I too am guilty of always rocking the tapered skinny leg trouser, I think it’s time for a change. This free flowing look is great for the spring and very refreshing. This style has made quite a resurgence in pop culture, so mix it up.










Tailored shorts
Show a little leg fellas. Tailored shorts are dressier than jean shorts and more casual than your basic trouser. Pairing these shorts with rolled up blazer sleeves on a warm day will give a clean look.




Go Blue
Navy Blue is usually a staple in most wardrobes but this year it’s time to be more playful with you primary color friend. Try wearing other shades of blue like light pastels, aqua, sky and cyan.

Ni
Spring is the best time of year to experiment sartorially. Emerging from heavy coats to a season still brisk enough to layer, we can play with fresh colors, a flash of ankle, an audacious silhouette. My favorite trends may be risky ones for men to try or translate from the runway (neutrals? psh), but to me, best capture the playfulness and fun of the season.


Prints Gone Wild
This isn’t your average windowpane or plaid: we’re talking the unironic revival of camo, suits like spring bouquets, and broad, bold pirate stripes. Not feeling up to liberty print florals? Try a simple (and safely heternormative-masculine) bike print button-down from Gitman Bros.

Dries Van Noten / Acrimony / Bottega Veneta


Carven / Need Supply





Bare Ankles (and Knees)
Playing with pants proportions is par for the course in spring, but this year it’s back with a vengeance. A recent surge in shoe styling (wingtips, colorful suede, the loafer and the monkstrap) has trousers cut slim and high; this year’s shorts are well within ladies’ bermuda territory.

Christopher Kane / Junya Watanabe / Costume National





Hermès / Club Monaco


Colorful Suiting
If you haven’t worked up the courage to rock a bright suit yet, this should be the season: even Ferragamo, usually subdued, sent blazers highlighter orange and turquoise down the SS13 runway. Ease in by pairing a single eye-catching piece with neutrals, or take a plunge with mixed brights.


Salvatore Ferragamo / Paul Smith / Moschino





H&M / Jonathan Saunders

Blumarine Spring 2013 Collection

It's no doubt that spring is one of the most beautiful times of year and as the flowers begin to bloom then so should you. This is an exciting year for spring fashion since we're seeing so many new trends as well as old ones we love. Thus, we bring you some of our favorite upcoming trends for spring so you can shine in the upcoming sunlight.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




If you get a chance to browse through pictures from the past NY Fashion week, you can see that this spring has less flowy drape or flowery pattern, but more architectural construction, geometry and retro black&white. This spring's fashion persona is a strong, independent modern woman who does not lose her femininity either.



Bold Stripes
Stripes are stepping up its game this season. They are not just regular sailor stripes, but a lot more modern, irregular, unexpected and designery.

Clean Sexy
This season there is less girly shapes, but more clean work attire inspired casual chics. I am a big fan of this trend personally. The bold low cut from Akris definitely takes some confidence or work around to pull off on a regular day, but still, if given a piece, I'll try it.

Low Heels
This season is not about skin-tight dress or 5 inch heels. The low heels featured in NY Fashion week by Marc Jacobs, LV and many other brands define sexiness can be effortless and painless too. While there are many low heels are colorful and studded, I personally like them to be simple and with some exaggerated chunky heels.

This spring fashion article is always my favorite to put together because it gets me excited for warmer weather. Last spring we saw a lot of  bright, vivid, neon colors but this spring I wanted to start off with celebrating the starkness of black and white.


Black&White
I love this monotone trend, especially with the pairing of bright colored shoes. Black and white are two staples that come around every season but they will shine like never before this spring!

Peekaboos&See-throughs
I'm always a big fan of subtle sexuality and showing the right amount of skin. So of course I look forward to see more cutouts about. Now the cutout trend has evolved to being more than just that to show skin in a whole new way.

Intricate Beading
We all know the risk of beading is that beads will always fall off. However, with such intricate beading it's hard to tell if there's one missing! Therefore I'm willing to give this trend a try. Not only is it incredibly elegant but it also makes anything look expensive.

In the Mood for 2013 in Style


New Year's Eve may just be another night but for us it's another excuse to look our best! We wanted to share some inspiring outfits that we can see us ringing in the new year with. Whether you're sharing an intimate night with your closest loved ones or braving the crowds to catch some fireworks, we've you covered with an outfit that will help you face the new year in style.

"There's no better time than New Year's Eve to dress well - and be noticed! It is the best opportunity to experiment with fashion styles that we might feel too shy to try, such as bright colors, studs, over-the-top accessories, and sequins."



Holiday Gatherings
Don't be shy to dress up for gatherings this holiday season! It is a big deal that the world has made it pass Dec. 21 2012 :p. Bust out fun patterns with bright colors and be a cheerful funky fashionista.

Dance Party
If you are going to a dance party, then you should really dance, not just tap your feet or nod your head with a smile. Wear something that allows lots of body movement and a pair of comfortable shoes. As for colors, red and gold add warmth and cheer to the party atmosphere. Accessorize with a bit of shine to make the holidays bright.

Intimate Dinner
Some of us might not want to invest in a brand new outfit for NYE, so the trick to look festive is to leverage the right kind of accessories. Find some body-draping jewelry that you can easily layer on top of a simple black dress or top. Also, the add-on collars seem to be lots of fun to play with. The best part of draped jewelry or collars is that they make a great impression at the dinner table (people are just looking at what is above the table right?). Belts and clutches are worth investing too - they can make any outfit look upscale and sophisticated.

Outdoor Fireworks
If you are going to be outdoors in winter, like waiting at Times Square for the ball drop and snapping pictures of your friends, family, and the crazy lights, bundle up with hats and special gloves. Many gloves now have the "tech fingertips" so you can still be swift taking photos of fireworks using your phone. I'd also recommend knitted, over-the-knee dresses to layer inside a long coat. Knitted dresses are the bests for cold weather: they are usually slightly over-sized, so you can wear an undershirt inside (Uniqlo has many fitted undershirts with HEATTECH). Also opt for a pair of comfy boots instead of heels for the best and most comfortable evening of 2013.

"Do I believe in casual gatherings for New Year's Eve? Of course I do. However I don't believe in dressing casually for New Year's Eve. Everyone should start off their new year with their best and sparkliest foot forward! So the outfits I put together have plenty of sparkle to last year round. "
