Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Pencil Skirts

 

 

I don't think pencil skirts really ever go out of style, but they are certainly on-trend for this Spring and Summer.  (Above: Christopher Kane; Oscar de la Renta; Roland Mouret; Tom Ford.)  The great thing about a pencil skirt is that they are flattering on every body type.  The key is to choose a length that is right for you.  If you are short, make sure that the skirt hits right above your knees to elongate your legs.  If you are longer, you should choose a length that hits right below your knees.  While I'm sure you already have a pencil skirt in your closet, there are some really cute and unique patterned and colorful pencil skirts available right now.  Below are some options to choose from:  Trina Turk "Pencil Me In" skirt for $228 on www.bloomingdales.com; Rhyme Los Angeles sporty pencil skirt for $59 on www.piperlime.com; Tinley Road striped pencil skirt for $49 on www.piperlime.com; Belted graphic pencil skirt for $89.50 on www.bananarepublic.com; Pastel tweed skirt for $89.50 on www.bananarepublic.com; Chrysalis midi pencil skirt for $128 on www.anthropologie.com; Alva lace pencil skirt for $88 on www.anthropologie.com; Prabal Gurung for Target colorblock skirt for $29.99 on www.target.com; Style&co. pencil skirt for $49 on www.macys.com; Printed floral pencil skirt for $39.90 on www.express.com; Tory Burch "Uma" silk pencil skirt for $250 on www.nordstrom.com; Robert Rodriguez graphic stripe pencil skirt for $245 on www.nordstrom.com.

Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Black and White Graphics

 

 

I thought I'd start off my summary of this Spring and Summer's hottest trends with one of the biggest trends:  black and white graphic prints.  This trend was all over the SS2013 runways (Above: Balmain; Louis Vuitton; Marc Jacobs; Oscar de la Renta).  The great thing about this trend is that it translates easily into everyday-wear.  Many of you probably already have a black and white print in your closest!  But in case you don't and you want to update your wardrobe with this trend, below are some options to consider:  "Check Yourself" bomber jacket for $58 on www.nastygal.com; Ella Moss "Mazzy" maxi dress for $168 on www.piperlime.com; Half stripe chiffon shirt for $19.80 on www.forever21.com; Kate Spade New York "Lorelei" dress for $378 on www.piperlime.com; Lafayette 148 New York "Profound Stroke" skirt for $348 on www.nordstrom.com; Lauren Ralph Lauren zigzag stripe top for $64.50 on www.nordstrom.com; Ruched stripes column dress for $148 on www.anthropologie.com; Striped maxi skirt for $17.80 on www.forever21.com; Tibi checkered border mini skirt for $250 on www.piperlime.com; Rigby stripe "Songbird" sweater for $98 on www.piperlime.com; Vertical stripe leggings for $11.80 on www.forever21.com; Striped tulip hem raglan sleeve dress for $49.90 on www.express.com.

Available THIS SUNDAY, February 10, 2013: Prabal Gurung for Target

 

 

Target has teamed up with Prabal Gurung to release an eighty-piece capsule collection of clothes, handbags, shoes, and jewelry!  The collection ranges in price from $19.99 for a t-shirt to $199.99 for a leather jacket.  The collection is inspired by "a girl's journey through the different stages of love and the clothes she wears during each milestone--from the first date to meeting the parents to the engagement," and features lots of prints and graphic details.  The collection will be available in Target stores and on www.target.com starting THIS SUNDAY, February 10, 2013.  The lookbook of the Prabal Gurung for Target collection has finally been released.  Photos from the collection are posted above and below.  What do you think of this collection?  With the exception of the shoes and accessories (and the models' hair which desperately needs a combing!), I am really in love with this collection and I can't wait for it to hit the stores!!!
