January 10 Spring Fashion's are in the Air....2006!!!Well Spring is here or should I say for most of us near? That means we have to get geared up for a change in the trends and what we will observe being sold in all of our adored department stores. My store is getting prepped to have a massive floor set for the NEW Spring items!! How exhilarating! Here are (with the help of NYmag) a list of Spring's Top 10 Trends for Spring 2006! Write them down, put them on the fridge, or tape them to the back door of your closet, but whatever you do remember them when you are dressing/shopping this Spring! :) #1) You can keep your "shine" because the metallic's will still be sizzling....Only this time it's going to be the antiqued gold look. You can do this with jewelry as well! (charms are a good choice) #2) Mid-calf and knee length skirts. It may take some getting used to, but try to put away your minis for this season. The knee length pencil skirts look super hot fitted with a belt and a tucked in "girly" shirt. That is a sexy work look! #3) Floaty dresses. By this I mean It will almost appear as if you are wearing your stunning nightgown out! Who would of thought? :) #4) Jackets! You will notice many trenches of all shapes and sizes....so, ladies you can cover up that waist line if you want! Also, you will see short quarter sleeved jackets that have been cropped above the belly. If you want to hide it or show it off, this season has the jacket for YOU! #5) Lilac is a color we will be seeing a lot of this spring, so go ahead and get something in that hue! It looks good on just about EVERYONE! Plus, you can just mix it into your outfit if you don't want to be ALL lilac. #6) Ruffled banded dresses seem to be taking a stand! They look entertaining and glamorous! The more ruffles, the more FUN!! #7) Bows, bows, bows! Bows, are on pockets, dresses, skirts, jackets.... They were in awhile back, then out...but they are back and the latest trend! #8 Crochet. No, not your Great Grandmother's....(although I am sure it was GREAT!) But, appealing, sexy crochet cutouts!! You will see them mostly on skirts. #9) Belted pants and higher waistlines.... finally, right? How long can you do the Super Super Extra Super Low Rise? The slim fit jeans are still smoking hot though! (SEXY) #10) Drum roll please.... wider, bulkier heels! So EVERYONE can walk RIGHT in them! :) ~And ladies, that is it for now! Sorry I have been absent for such a long while! *Just to let you know: work boots, “daring” print tights, sparkle camisoles (sequins), leather, tweed, cap's, cardigan's, and bead's are some HOT items RIGHT "this moment" still going on for Winter 05.... God Bless! M. November 09 M's Must Have's for Winter 05:List of 10~ 1*Something Tweed... pants, shorts, gaucho style. Sport it w/ something "girly" like a lacey top, 2*Military Style Jacket... it can be a blazer or a trench, but the military look is HOT right now. -And no, not the traditional camo. We are talking solid navy, green, or camels. 3*Soft Velvet... a vest, tank, bag, belt, blazer ---something in very soft velvet! teal, berry, & black are all nice colors. 4*Skinny Jeans or Pants... They look sexy! I agree not everyone can pull it off, but if you can then go for it! You can pair them w/ boots, but they look good w/ stilettos! (they can also come in velvet and sateen) 5*"Big Ole" Bag... A nice big bag is a must to throw all of your stuff in this winter! Stop carrying all those tiny pocketbooks that hold only your cell phones! :) Plus, a bag can pull a whole outfit together! 6*Boots... "These boots are made for walking" Yes, get a nice pair of boots! tall, medium, or short it doesn't matter because there are so many to choose from. Personally, I like the tall or medium, because you can wear them w/ your sexy pair of denim. 7*Chunky Belts... they look good w/ dresses, sweaters, T's, or just about anything you put it with. 8*A Flowing/Fun Dress... too many people stop wearing dresses once it gets cold, but they don't have to anymore. You can pair it w/ fun tights, boots, jeans, blazers...etc. Many dresses come in soft sweater material now, looking fantastic on, and they are comfortable. 9*Something Metallic... Either a pocketbook, shirt, skirt, shoes, or belt. Now is the chance to wear bronze, gold, or silver! GLOW!! 10*Hat's... Cabbie, round brim, crochet, whatever, but just be original!! That’s My Must Have’s for Winter 2005. They may not be what NY or Paris is showing on the runway, but it is observations from my work mixed with opinion. Take it or leave it, I hope everyone never stops being their own creative “fashionfare”! God Bless, M.
Reply to Comment*** I love your comment OG!! :)
October 30 Dolce & Gabbana I recently purchased a magazine (more like a book) called East Fashion MUSE, and it features 20 years of Dolce and Gabbana. If you have visited my space you know I am a huge fan of the two designers, and I simply adore their creative style! I tried to locate the magazine online, but was sadly unsuccessful. I decided to take pictures from the magazine to show on my blog, but not many turned out well enough to put up. The few that I have are gorgeous and speak vloumes for their talent. It shows you that we can count on Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to be here creating for atleast another 20 years strong!God Bless,
M.
PS: I would check out the magazine! It is a beautiful mag. with great photos and informative fashion writeups.
-The picture of Domenico & Stefano was taken by Giampaolo Barbieri.
-Images are from the woman's collection FW 05-06 except Gisele's photo...that is from the woman collection SS 03 October 18 Fall/WinterWhether it’s for that high school reunion, league ball, wedding, or just an entertaining night out we all need a magnificent ostentatious attire at some point for a particular occasion. Here are a few of the best from this Fall and Winter’s Collection’s. They vary from all different styles, designers, textures, and colors. I am sure you will find one to “suit” your situation. (Alexander McQueen, Chloe's, Collette Dinnigan, Paco Rabanne, Emanuel Ungaro, John Galliano, Richard Tyler, Kenzo, Lagerfeld, Nina Ricci, and Valentino are all the designers.) I will be adding more! Note: Forever 21 has "trendy" attire shipped in EVERDAY! So, if you don't have, or don't want to spend the money there are other options.... God Bless, M. September 07 Top 10 These were listed as the top 10 trends from New York~You will see all of this played down a bit in department stores right now, so check it out! I like the soft velvet look and the corset! I am and always will be a heel girl though!
God Bless/ Maggie August 26 Marc Jacobs: Fall 2005 New York Fashion CollectionBelow are my selected pictures from Marc Jacobs Fall 2005 New York Fashion Collection. Some of his collections can seem drab, but he is a remarkable designer! These are a few selections I picked that we will see recreated on the "racks". I'm crazy about the new military style and the Russian jackets!
-Enjoy!! /M
PS: check out his website! www.marcjacobs.com
August 25 *Boots**These are just a few of the must haves for this season! You can't go wrong w/ these sexy, stylish, and sassy new boots! -Wear them w/ skirts, dresses, over jeans, (if done right) w/ guachos, and w/ dress pants. I added a few funky but tasteful ones! :) You can get the "real deal" or the knock offs, but here are a few styles to look for while shopping:
 /M August 23 Betsey Johnson Fashion ShowThese are pictures from Betsey's 2005 Fashion show that I thought were amazing! I love how she pairs things together that no one else would think to do... Some of her stuff is kind of "out there", but she did a good job with making this show more practical of what people could/would/might wear!  /M August 17 Vintage Clothing Well, I was researching the web and came across a website called Deja-Vu /vintage clothing, and it is pretty neat. There's a nice amount of items to choose from and they seem to be in perfect condition.....the prices aren't bad either for vintage! I posted the website in my "Sites~" section, so check it out!! Here are a few of my favorite items she had on the website: A bracelet from 1970, 3 dresses (2 from the 50's/one from the 60's), snakeskin boots, 2 western purses, 2 beaded purses, 3 jackets...and I think about that covers it. (The boots are smokin' HOT!) love/M August 08 Collection Pics from 2005-photos from mostly the Spring '05 Collections.....(some of the designers names are on the left side of the pic) /M
