FASHION FORWARD: SPRING 2011

As we all know Fashion week has began and its been incredible. So far, I have seen a lot of strong collections, many wearable pieces that can be worn on the catwalk to the sidewalk. I am really excited for Spring fashion this year! One of my new favorite designers, Christian Cota, designed a amazinggg collection. It is to die for! Christian's pieces excude a whimsical, modern, and sexy feel- The collection is not to serious, but more on the fun flirty side- perfect for a fashionista's wardrobe in the Spring time. Here are my favorite pieces from Christian Cota's collection.

OBESSION DU JOUR: Slouchy Pants

I have grown to love Slouchy pants over the past few years. This fall they are coming back in full force down the fashion runways. Slouchy pants are going to be the go-to pant! This style is not only smart looking but worn with a plunging neck it definitely creates a sexy laid back look.

How to wear slouchy pants:

Work: tailored white shirt, skinny belt, and booties (or pumps).
Day (casual): t-shirt, leather jacket, ballet slippers, and of course a ladylike bag (ex: Lanvin handbags)
Night: there are many ways you can go, loose fitted tank, silk button-down (unbutton 3-4 buttons), or a rock a corset, strappy sandals, or heavy-duty platform shoes.

OBESSION DU JOUR: Darker Roots and lighter ends

I always admired women's hair color, I truly believe a good color job goes a long way! Since I was 14 years old I started dying my hair (not the greatest thing for me) but I would change hair color like girls change lipstick colors. I went from blonde to black, then black to brown, and now my color is more subtle, just a few blonde hi-lights. I believe less is more. Recently, I noticed a new hair color style; darker roots with lighter ends. Ashlee Simpon- Wentz and Rachel Bilson were recently rocking this look! I think it looks so cool, I feel that anyone can pull this off, especially for blondes in the Fall since we always go a tad darker in the colder seasons. Check out the looks, maybe ask your colorists to put some lighter high-lights at the end of your hair and if you like it go for more! I know this will be my Fall look.
