House of Dereon Spring 2010

Beyonce and Tina Knowles are still hanging on strong. I rarely see anyone in House of Dereon, but obviously somebody is buying it. Just like Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, Beyonce makes these clothes look GORGEOUS, but when you get to the store and see them in person, it seems like false advertisement. None the less, the Spring 2010 House of Dereon Collection is looking quite FIERCE!

I love the edgyness of this look! The studded skirt paired with the chained jacket is so Rocker Chic. Beyonce is definitely serving this look.

I love the brightness and fit of this dress. The large bow-like detailing is the star of this dress. It adds personality and flare. Definitely a show piece.

This look is very ethnic.

The movement of this piece is incredible. It embodies the spirit of spring because of how it flows.

I’m impressed. Very nice collection!

Top 5 Spring Transition Pieces

By Jai

Spring time is almost here! Thank God, this 20 degree weather and these blizzards are not cutting it. We only have a few more weeks of winter so, in preparation for this transition into spring, I have compiled a list of winter-spring transitional must haves. The early part of a new season is very tricky and people are confused on how to dress for the weather. We go shopping attempting to expand our spring wardrobe, but we are faced with the winter items that are on sale, but it is too warm to wear the chunky sweater and the tanks and shorts are out but it is to chilly to start shedding the clothes. The key is to layer, layer, layer. So, check out the top 5 pieces you will need to make a smooth transition.

1. Boyfriend Blazer– The boyfriend blazer is now a staple piece in any woman’s wardrobe. The menswear cut with a touch of femininity is the best combination. This blazer can be layered over a cami for the evening, a graphic print t-shirt for the day. It is the perfect layering piece for chilly nights.

Fashion Union Boyfriend Blazer $43

Casual Boyfriend Blazer $30 Forever 21

2. Trench Coat- The trench is ESSENTIAL to any woman’s wardrobe. This is the perfect transitional outerwear piece because its versatility. It can be worn during the day time or evening, to work when paired with your favorite dress or pencil skirt, or on weekends paired with your favorite jeans. It is very light for the spring, but heavy enough to keep you warm. Go for bold colors or even pastels. You can never go wrong with the traditional khaki.

Spring time needs to come quick!!! This snow, slush, sleet mess needs to go away. As you all may know, I am not fond of the winter, but I know that I need this so I can appreciate spring and summer so much more. Well as I wait I am putting together transitional looks. So I have picked just a few pairs of shoes that I am considering purchasing (some not all) and guess what they are all under $30! That’s the good thing about Forever21. Their shoes are not uncomfortable either so that’s even better.

Jean Basket Heel $29.80
Strappy Ankle Pumps $29.80
Mistress Buckled Stiletto $29.80
Peep Toe Gladiator Heels $24.80
Chain Sling Back Platforms $24.80
Jennifer Peep Toe Boot $26.80

I especially like #4 and #5 and for about $52 you can’t go wrong

Spring Trend: Jumpsuits (Revamped)

By Jai Leave a Comment

So even though jumpsuits are not “new” to the fashion world nad re-emerged within the past few seasons, they are brighter, bolder and funkier this Spring. You will see more bolder patterns, assymetrical structure (one shoulder), mesh, deep Vs, sequins and bright colors. Pair these jumpsuits with boyfriend blazers, bold necklaces and a killer shoe.

Spring Trend: Fringe Bags

By Jai Leave a Comment

Yes we are going to the west with this look. Some people love it, others hate, but this spring you will be bombarded with fringe. Hopefully we won’t see anyone walking around in a fringe vest, with fringe boots, a fringe bag, and a fringe belt. That is just a tad bit too much. To pull off this look just keep it simple. Pair your basic skinny jeans, shorts, tank tops, or plain t-shirts with a cute sandal and a simple necklace and a fringe bag. Here are a few options that will definitely turn heads and the best part, they are all $50 or less.
