Chartreuse.
Louis Roe, Lauren Conrad, Anna Kendrick have all been spotted in the same shade of Chartreuse. When Cameron Diaz, Amy Adams and Helen Hunt turned up on the red carpet clad in this hot hue we simply raised our eyebrows in curiosity.
It is too sensational a color trend and definitely not for the timid.
Style Tip.
Let the shocking shade take center stage by teaming it with nude pumps and less accessories.
Gossip Girl Fashion.
Headbands. Headbands were reserved for kids, before Blair Waldorf. She singlehandedly made the headband popular for adults. She had a different one for every outfit and so did her girls.
Colorful Tights. The girls of Constance treated colorful tights as accessories often coordinating them with the aforementioned headbands. Suddenly, colorful tights were what one needed to top off an outfit.
Micro Hemlines. Whilst Blair Waldorf was prim and proper, Serena Van Der Woodsen had style that was totally her own often erring on the undressed side. She mastered the art of inappropriate cleavage baring and micro hemlines, which she showcased whenever possible.
Dandy Style. Chuck Bass had the most coveted and sophisticated male style on the show- suspenders, pea coats, seriously fancy socks, slim-fit dandy suits for days and a suave, slicked back ‘do. He always looked fresh off the GQ magazine pages.
Thick and Dark Eyeliner. Aside from the ratty hair extensions of Jenny Humphrey and her slow decline, dark eyeliner was the beginning of the end for Little J.
Gorgeous Gowns. Gossip Girl started off with Serena wearing a gold strapless gown to Cotillion. The beautiful gowns kept coming as Blair + Serena got cosy in couture.
Color. New York is known for its trade mark black but Gossip Girl gave it a breathe of fresh air with the rainbow of colourful outfits spotted by the show's characters.
The Hair Bow.
Sky high topknots have been making the rounds on the red carpet and everywhere else from Kim Kardashian to Kelly Osbourne but it is a very sharp look that doesn’t work for everyone even on a normal day. A hair bow is a better way to upgrade from the bun and stay on trend without going to the salon.
Here’s how to create the hair bow in three easy steps. First, tie the hair into a high ponytail, pulling the last piece of hair only halfway through to make a loose bun. Second, tease the bun to fan it out and create a part in the center. Finally, take the remaining section of the hair and pull it through the centre of the parted bun, then fix in place with hair pins. Add a little finishing hairspray for a polished look.
And there you have it – a beautiful bow tie without the fuss of silly hairbands or scrunchies.
The Polo Shirt.
A Polo shirt is much more dressed up which differentiates it from the normal Tee-shirt and is currently dominated by bright shades. It is also most favoured because of the collar which you can pop up or leave down.
Style Tip: Pair a polo shirt with tailored shorts for a casual look and slacks for a more mature dressed up look. Pop your collar for the cool edge.
Once you know your way around it, you can wear it in countless different styles.
The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Sheer Panels. The incorporation of sheer panels on confections of dresses makes for the most naughty but innocent of looks and this is why celebrities can’t get enough of it especially for many a red carpet events.
Pops of Colour. There is nothing like wearing a colorful gown to stand out in the crowd. Colors from burgundy, Orange, Purple amongst others popped on the Emmys’ red carpet like never before.
Sunny Yellow. Yellow certainly came out to play as not more than three stars made an entrance on the carpet in various shades of this sunny color. Clearly, they all needed a mood pick me up and no colour does it better than yellow.
All shades Grey. Grey is the NEW black! The Emmys red carpet saw the various shades of Grey from a lot of stars noting it as one of the colors for the season.
A Bow Tie Affair. The men looked dashing in their black tie whilst others gave us a few surprises in the changes made to the normal tuxedo. Variations were made to the bowtie and shirts in stead of the normal black and white tuxedo.
Embellishments. Sequins and beads sparkled on the Emmys red carpet as celebrities came decked out in the shiniest and metallic of gowns.

summer/spring Shoes Trends.
Ankle Straps. The ankle strap had lost its popularity on the fashion scene for a while but it is back both in chunky and thin straps. Opt for a thin strap if you are a little big around the ankle and for volume, the chunky big strap is the one for you. Ankle straps are perfect for skirts and dresses for maximum visibility.
Color Blocking. Color blocking is still one of the runaway trends this season and it doesn’t only stop with clothes. Multi candy colored shoes are a fabulous way to make an otherwise bland monochromatic outfit pop. Color blocked shoes are suitable for neutral colored outfits.
Au Natural. Natural fibre like cork, rope heels and beads is the way to go for a touch of ethnicity. They are perfect for summer dresses and the bohemian look.
Printed Shoes. The snake skin print on shoes has taken over from where the leopard print let off. Unlike the leopard print, the snake skin comes in an assortment of colours catering to the different needs out there.
Metallic. Metallic colors are still very much on vogue. They are the perfect jewellery for your feet.

Say Hello to the Jumpsuit.

Accessories: Men’s Watches.
There is something about a man’s watch on a dainty feminine wrist that we can not put our fingers on but wonder why? It could be women are tired of the small feminine watches that disappear under the loads of arm candy or the need for a time piece with volume on the wrist. Whatever the reason, we do not care because Men’s watches are fast becoming the accessory of choice where time pieces are concerned for women and we love it.
If you love a volume on the wrist and a statement watch to make it pop, Men’s watches or those with a masculine design are the way to go. They certainly will not disappear under the load of arm candy you might have going on.

Fall/Winter 2012
Print Obsession. Prints are still a fashion week favorite as designers pushed their print love and obsession to the limit with jackets that matched the patterned pants we’ve been seeing for some time. Paisley floral and painterly went head to toe at Miu Miu, Rag and Bone and Rochas.

Resort 2013
Resort wear is clothing designed for trips to sunny warm climates in winter. Designers mix a bit of the previous fall/winter silhouettes with a sneak peak into the upcoming spring summer collections. Resort is usually for people who live in cold snowy places that go for a brief retreat somewhere warm as a welcome break and designers make special clothes for these holiday places such as Caribbean beaches, tropical islands, and for boat cruises through warm tropical seas. Designers offered up a wealth of options with their Resort collections. Here is a look at the Resort 2013 runway trends.
Lace. The feminine fabric has gotten an updated and modern look saturated in deep pinks, black and mixed with sheer. Lace dresses are sure to win over the most androgynous of dressers.
Short Shorts. Shorts will always be a favourite for the tropical beach crowd and this time was no different. Designers made them a wide and breezy to fit into the feel of the warm retreats that the holiday places are known for.
Peplum. Peplums, a carryover from the spring summer collections has proved to be a popular trend. The fall runways demonstrated its staying power and resort confirms its ongoing appeal. From denim to printed silks, peplum is here to stay.
Sheer White. Sheer white acting as a palate cleanser to the abundance of colour and patterns seen from past seasons is a welcome touch to the resort collections.
Embellished Collars. Statement necklaces have been the go-to solutions to spice up simple Tees and dresses but these pieces have sparkle built in them. Beaded and Bejewelled necklines popped up on Tees, blouses and sheath dresses that paraded down the runways.
Trendy In Tribal!
Tribal has gone trendy, inspiring the fashion world to turn out colorful collections designed in natural fabrics and fiber with fabulous ethnic prints and gorgeously beaded accessories.
Here’s a few pointers on how to rock the not so ethnic look.

Tip: Wear items separately or in moderation to make a pretty impact and remember that colorful bead work is what makes the tribal trend what it is.

The number one rule about neon is not to go overboard with both colour and accessories. You don’t want to stick out like a really sore thumb. Here’s a few ways on how to incorporate touches of neon in your style for a subtle yet sophisticated look.

They offer both the sporty and feminine look in one go. A perfect way to get in touch with your inner tomboy.
