Style Trend - Laser Cut Leather

Looking sharp has a new meaning now. The laser cut leather apparel and accessories  are appearing on runways and stores and looks like 2013 will see a lot of perforated leather designs. From magazine favorite Proenza Schouler perforated leather skirt to Prada laser cut shoes to Tibi laser cut designs, the peek-a-boo style and intricate cut out details are giving a pretty and feminine vibe to the tough leather. Here are some of my favorite perforated leather pieces!

Style Trend - Cool Pullovers

Winters will be packing up soon, bye bye down jackets. But early spring chill needs some cozy layering and woolen warmth. The answer - versatile pullovers! The comfort, style and cool attitude of a pullover has always been in fashion. Layer it with a trench, wrap a scarf around or just wear it on its own , a pullover is a Spring essential. I love to pair up a fabulous pullover or sweater with rolled - cuff jeans and pumps or a skinny jeans and comfortable flats. So what are you waiting for, pull one over!

Spring Dressing With Asymmetrical Hems

It's a cape, it's a dress, it's a top with a train?? Let us discuss that one piece in the wardrobe which is too long to be a blouse, but too short to be a dress, a piece of clothing stuck between beautiful and weird, a closet- adolescent, waiting to grow up to a full outfit! This flowy chiffon asymmetrical blouse (from Romwe.com)  fits the bill! I wore this with a fitted skirt here, and honestly,did not pay much attention to it for a long time. Today it is out again with a skinny jeans (from Liverpool Jeans)  and a bold necklace and I think I like the results! Awkward no more, it is my colorful couture today, heralding Spring!

Lip Colors For 2013

Deep, rich, little bit mysterious and a whole lotta sexy - that seems to be the lipstick memo this year. During New York Fashion Week, I saw a number of designers opting for the dark, enigmatic colors of burgundy, maroon, deep russet and claret for the lips. 

Tadashi Shoji sought inspiration from the ladies of Russian nobility wandering in the snow just before the fall of the empire, their lips frozen and bloodshot, but beautiful nonetheless. Vera Wang paid tribute to classic construction and drapery with her clothes and the sophisticated style of modern woman with oxblood red lips for her models. Oscar de la Renta fall 2013 show had Karlie Kloss sporting almost bruised deep deep burgundy lips.
