Style Muse: Eva Longoria

Lately, I've really been loving Eva Longoria's simple but colorful style.  She likes to wear fitted monochrome dresses (see above), which I too am a big fan of because they are flattering and classic.  On the red carpet, she tends to change it up with short sequined dresses and long flowy dresses (see below).

Unlike a lot of celebrities, her daytime style is also pretty fantastic.  Again, she likes to keep it pretty simple, but with modern details like colored pants, scarves, and skinny jeans (see below).  What do you think of Eva's style?  Some may think that her style is too plain, but sometimes less is more, don't you agree?!?!?

Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Trend: Ladylike

I saved my favorite trend for this Spring and Summer for last ladies!!!  Get ready to get your Betty Draper on and put on your favorite ladylike dress and heels because sweet ladylike dresses and accessories are a big trend this Spring and Summer (See above: Valentino; Louis Vuitton; Chanel; Elie Saab; Alice + Olivia).  And I couldn't be happier.  For those of you who know me, this trend fits right in with my personal style aesthetic.  If you, like me, are LOVING this trend and want to give it a try, below are some options to consider (all of which I seriously want to purchase!!!):  Tory Burch "Lidia" polo for $95 on www.nordstrom.com; RED Valentino knit dress on sale for $486.50 on www.shopbop.com; Nanette Lepore "Jacy" skirt for $298 on www.bloomingdales.com; RED Valentino bow hobo for $695 on www.shopbop.com; J. Crew flower bud ring for $35 on www.jcrew.com; "Fluttering flora" dress for $148 on www.anthropologie.com; "Fine and Dandelion" cardigan for $39.99 on www.modcloth.com; Bamboo "Crush" rosette ballet flat for $22.20 on www.urbanog.com; "Divination" asymmetric dress for $210 on www.anthropologie.com; Constructed swing jacket for $198 on www.anthropologie.com; Cabel bow perforated pump for $30.80 on www.urbanog.com; ASOS umbrella skirt for $89.53 on www.asos.com.

Available TODAY: Alberta Ferretti for Macy's

The Spring collection that I first told you about in February by Italian designer Alberta Ferretti for Macy's Impulse collection is available on www.macys.com and in select Macy's stores TODAY. The collection was inspired by the Amalfi Coast and features knitwear, garden-party dresses, and Mediterranean peasant blouses. Pieces in the collection range from $49 to $119. I've posted some pictures from the collection above and below. Above: Tiered maxi dress for $109; Pointelle knit sweater for $79; Wrap dress for $69. Below: Skinny cropped lace capris for $79; Floral maxi dress for $99; Long-sleeve lace blouse for $79; Floral strapless dress for $79; Lace tank for $49 and lace pencil skirt for $69; Lace drop-waist dress for $69. What do you think of the collection?

Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Trend: Drop-Waist Dresses

I am nearing the end of my rundown of this Spring and Summer's hottest fashion trends, but I couldn't forget to include the hottest dress style:  drop-waist dresses (See above: Roberto Cavalli; Victoria Beckham; Etro; Gucci).  This style is a little retro which I like, but it really is meant for ladies with a slender frame since drop-waist dresses do nothing to define your natural waist.  If you are liking this trend and want to give it a try, below are some options for you to consider:  Warehouse drop-waist dress for $98.48 on www.asos.com; Donna Morgan drop-waist silk dress for $148 on www.nordstrom.com; TFNC dropwaist maxis dress for $134.29 on www.asos.com; Crochet-trimmed woven dress for $19.90 on www.forever21.com; Joie "Topaz" dropwaist silk dress for $278 on www.nordstrom.com; RVCA dropwaist dress for $84 on www.lulus.com; Michael Stars drawstring-waist dress for $78 on www.piperlime.com; Charlotte Ronson dropwaist lace dress for $315 on www.shopbop.com; Bar III drop-waist dress for $69 on www.macys.com; Textured hoop dress for $148 on www.anthropologie.com; ASOS drop-waist dress with bow on sale for $42.97 on www.asos.com; Alice + Olivia "Goldie" dress for $368 on www.bloomingdales.com.
