Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Trench Dressing


Always a staple item in any girl's Spring wardrobe, the trench coat was quite popular on the SS2010 runways (Above: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Burberry Prorsum; Celine; Marc Jacobs). Trenches this Spring range from the more traditional khaki colored knee-length style to a more modern above-the-knee or cropped style in all kinds of colors. Some are military inspired while others are more feminine with ruffles. Trench dresses are also popular. I'm so happy that trenches are in style this Spring because it is such a classic piece that women of all age ranges can wear! While I admittedly already own quite a few trench coats, I recently picked up one more that I can't wait to wear this Spring (pictured below from Anthropologie). If you are looking to add a timeless staple to your wardrobe this Spring, below are a few trenches for you to consider: Bell sleeve short trench for $32.80 available on www.forever21.com; "Blanche Dubois" short trench for $58 available on www.lulus.com; Tahari "Ricky" sateen trench for $128 available on www.nordstrom.com; London Fog trench for $98 available on www.nordstrom.com; Kensie short-sleeve trench for $138 available on www.macys.com; Banana Republic short trench for $175 available on www.bananarepublic.com; Tahari "Eve" asymmetrical ruffle trench for $128 available on www.nordstrom.com; Banana Republic crinkle trench for $198 available on www.bananarepublic.com; Kenneth Cole New York "Trapunto" trench for $118 available on www.nordstrom.com; Juicy Couture ruffle cropped trench for $298 available on www.piperlime.com; Ellen Tracy hooded short trench for $128 available on www.nordstrom.com; Double ruffle trench for $168 available on www.anthropologie.com (I just bought this one...SO cute!!!); Cropped trench for $78 available on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Calvin Klein hooded short trench for $98 available on www.nordstrom.com.

Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trend: Exposed Lingerie


This Spring it's time to wear your underwear as your outerwear! Believe it or not, the SS2010 runways were littered with loads of models with their lingerie exposed for all to see (Above: Christian Dior; Jean Paul Gaultier; Marc Jacobs; Dolce & Gabbana)! What do you think of this trend? Crazy or Genius? While this trend may have been popular on the runways, at least for me, that is where it shall remain. If I saw someone walking down the Columbus streets in a bustier I would wonder what loony bin she escaped from (or assume that she was a bartender at Sugar Bar). I am admittedly a fan of lingerie inspired pieces, but straight up wearing your bra or panties on the outside of your clothes is a tad on the crazy side for me! However, in case you are more daring than I am, I have gathered a few lingerie-inspired pieces for you to consider below: "Busty" knit dress for $22.80 available on www.forever21.com; Dolce Vita "Ash" tank for $132 available on www.shopbop.com; Evil Twin smudge print bustier for $74.56 available on www.asos.com; Urban Renewal lace bustier dress for $29.99 available on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Tuxedo sequin bustier for $48 available on www.nastygal.com; Ruffle lace bustier for $14.80 available on www.forever21.com; Polka dot bustier dress for $22.80 available on www.forever21.com; Lavender lace bustier for $36 available on www.nastygal.com; Pency seamed leggings for $132 available on www.shopbop.com; Evil Twin studded bustier for $74.56 available on www.asos.com; Re Collection leather bustier for $185 available on www.shopbop.com; Karen Millen delicate silk lingerie dress for $292.90 available on www.asos.com; Only Hearts French lace racer back bodysuit for $118 available on www.shopbop.com; Nylon spandex stretch floral lace stirrup leggings for $42 available on www.americanapparel.com.

TOMORROW, February 13th: A Date 2 Remember Date Auction and Fashion Show

TOMORROW, February 13th, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., the Columbus Young Professionals Club will be hosting its third annual "A Date 2 Remember" date auction and fashion show for charity at BoMA in downtown Columbus. Members of the Central Ohio community are invited to "make a date" for this unique event – one that combines a date auction for singles and couples with a fashion show featuring clothing from Columbus-area boutiques and shops. All proceeds raised from the event will benefit TWO local non-profit organizations: A Kid Again and Capital Area Humane Society.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for registration. The cocktail hour begins at 7:00 p.m. (with food donated by local restaurants, a beer sampling booth, and other exciting surprises). At 8:00 p.m., get ready for an evening full of entertainment and fun as the date auction and fashion show begins. As a twist on the traditional charity date auction, double-date packages will be available for couples and friends. Date participants will walk on stage modeling clothing and jewelry from local boutiques, showcasing the best of Columbus fashion and style. The after-party will begin at 11:00 p.m. at BoMA following the event.

Tickets: $25 (purchased prior to February 8, 2010) or $35 at the door.
