Trend: Lace
Lace is a trend we still can’t get over. It had a strong presence last summer and this year it’s back after Valentino, Elie Saab and Miu Miu all brought innovation into the mix with over sized reworks, eyelet patterns, and the cool awkward cute look.

Spring Trend: Pastel
Spring fashion is starting to creep onto our homepage and I’m finding it hard not to dive straight into the fresh florals, pastel colours and lighter fabrics. Here in Philly we still have a couple more months until the weather starts to change. In the meantime I’m sourcing the spring 2012 runway trends to see what’s going to be hot fashion when the sun shines it’s warmth on us.
Last week we had florals this week we have pastels! Candy shades seem to be a lovely direction and we love the idea of wearing two shades together and making a full blown impact – I’m sure it will put a smile on anyone’s face if you look as sweet as a candy cane.
We loved what Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Saunders and Jaeger showcased, our sweet tooth got big, now… where’s the bag of Cadbury’s mini eggs!

Hot Trend: Ponytail Cuffs
I don’t think I’ve used anything other than standard hair ties for ponytails since I got rid of my (extensive) collection of scrunchies, so when I saw that we were getting all of these cute ponytail cuffs in, I was really excited for a fresh take on the ponytail. It’s my go-to hair style, but it gets so boring… I am all about these cute cuffs, especially the brightly colored cut-out geometric cuff and the suede lasso pony holder! They are such a great way to add a little unexpected pop of color or texture. We had some fun trying them on today – what do you guys think, are you into this trend?

Trend: Grunge
The trend we are featuring on our website this week is very close to my heart: Grunge. As someone who grew up mostly in the 90’s, I know the importance of that perfectly beat up pair of jeans, soft over-sized flannel and ripped, worn-through t-shirt that you just can’t seem to part with. I watched My So Called Life religiously, had a crush on Jordan Catalano and wanted to be Rayanne Graff. I listened to Nirvana and Pearl Jam on cassette tape and wore Doc Martens. Grunge will always be that one trend for me that I never tire of, and will always wear, because to me its more than a trend – it’s part of who I am.

FASHION trend: Colored shirts and high neck jewelry!
As of late I’m pretty much all about shirts, I feel like I’m back in my school days again but I like it. I button them right up to the top, wear them under dresses or sweaters with the collar peeking out or just on their own with jeans. My new obsession is collar detail and finding ways to jazz up the collar and make it stand out a little. High neck necklaces are perfect for this; I like to wear them under the collar so it achieves a lovely centre piece. It’s sophisticated but with a bit of fun. To wear with these shirts to finish the look off I’m addicted to cobalt blue nail polish just like in our December book!

Trend: Snow Angel
When I think of a snow angel I think of a soft wanderer, she walks quietly and oozes curiosity.
Our Snow Angel trend derived from all things soft and pretty, beautiful cozy textures hang softly
while pastels shades capture the nostalgic feeling of a dream like world. Snow Angel is about comfort,
comfort in the most beautiful light.

Trend: Bed jackets
Who would’ve thought that the victorian bed jacket would make a comeback!
Well… it sure has, but this time with a twist. we are taking the bed jacket away from the conventional way to wear it and bringing it into a rock ‘N’ roll state of mind by adding attitude.
The victorian bed jacket, which was popularized in the 1930’s by Hollywood films, has been making a statement here in our office, and we love how versatile it is. A cute little easy jacket that can be styled up for the night with a mini and boots or dressed down in the day with a pair of jeans and a lose tee. In our July book we mixed up its delicate nature by adding it with leather and rock t shirts.
A perfect mix to achieve that sweet and hard look!
