Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Tall Gladiator Sandals

 

 

As you may recall, gladiator sandals were the "it" shoe to wear about two years ago.  Well, this year they are back in full force, but with a new taller and more dramatic edge.  (Above:  Altuzarra; Alexander Wang; Victoria Beckham; Proenza Schouler.)  This trend is obviously not for the average everyday woman as you will surely get quite a bit of attention if you put on a pair of these sandals.  But if you have a daring side and want to give this notice-me trend a try, below are some tall gladiator sandals that may appeal to you:  Truth or Dare by Madonna "Cordera" gladiator sandals for $220 on www.macys.com; Jeffrey Campbell "Sarafina" sandal for $188 on www.freepeople.com; Ecote tall cone-stud caged sandal for $49 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Ecote tall caged sandal for $49 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Jimmy Choo "Mogul" tall cage gladiator boot for $1,495 on www.neimanmarcus.com; Grey Mar gladiator sandals for $678 on www.luisaviaroma.com; Ecote "Helena" tall buckled caged sandal for $59 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals for $398 on www.bloomingdales.com.

Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Fringe

 

 

Another trend that was featured prominently on the SS2013 runways was fringe (see above: Bottega Veneta; Versace; Saint Laurent; Nina Ricci).  Fringe appeared most frequently on dresses, but it is also a huge trend in swimwear right now as well.  If you this trend appears to your inner flapper-girl and you want to give it a try, below are some options to consider:  Staring at Stars fringed open cardigan for $54 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Topshop dip dye fringe romper for $60 on www.nordstrom.com; Neon Moon "Mimi" fringe v-back tee for $44 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Haute Hippie studded fringe suede miniskirt for $595 on www.nordstrom.com; Mcginn "Lissa" fringe hem knit dress for $315 on www.nordstrom.com; Jen's Pirate Booty fringe "Freestyle" top for $94 on www.piperlime.com; Chiffon fringe miniskirt for $24.80 on www.forever21.com; Aqua one shoulder fringe dress for $180 on www.bloomingdales.com; Plenty by Tracy Reese fringe crossover blouse for $188 on www.bloomingdales.com; Sam Edelman "Luella" fringe suede jacket for $580 on www.bloomingdales.com.

 

 

 

 

 

Fringe not only appeared on apparel on the runways, but it was also seen used in a lot of jewelry (see below: Kenzo; Nina Ricci; Versace; Misha Nonoo).    

 

 




Fringed jewelry is a super fun and unique way to add interest to a basic daytime jeans and t-shirt outfit.  If you are interested in purchasing a piece of fringed jewelry, check out these options below: Loren Hope fringed necklace for $125 on www.maxandchloe.com; ABS by Allen Schwartz stretch mesh fringe bracelet for $95 on www.bloomingdales.com; Natasha Couture fringe collar necklace for $38 on www.nordstrom.com; Michael Kors hoop fringe earrings for $125 on www.neimanmarcus.com; Fringe bib necklace for $8.80 on www.forever21.com; Michael Kors fringe cuff bracelet for $195 on www.neimanmarcus.com; Shake chain & fringe hoop earrings for $34 on www.bebe.com; Fringe necklace for $34 on www.bebe.com; Stephan & Co. fringe earrings for $14 on www.nordstrom.com; Mesh & crystal fringe statement necklace for $49 on www.bebe.com.

 

 

 

 

 

Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Tuxedo Jackets

 

 

In my opinion, a tuxedo-inspired jacket is always fashionable, but this Spring and Summer they are particularly on trend.  (Above: Barbara Bui; Haider Ackermann; Christian Dior; Lanvin.)  I like this trend because you can dress a tuxedo jacket up for the evening over a mini dress or down during the day with a t-shirt and jeans.  Not to mention the fact that a nice structured blazer can camouflage a number of problem areas (arms, waist, etc.)  Hopefully, you already have a tuxedo blazer in your closet, but in case you don't, below are some new fresh options to consider:  BB Dakota "Zane" blazer for $98 on www.lulus.com; BCBGMAXAZRIA tuxedo blazer for $228 on www.piperlime.com; BCBGMAXAZRIA "Guy"striped tuxedo blazer for $248  on www.bloomingdales.com; Greylin "Beatriz" tuxedo jacket for $128 on www.piperlime.com; Jessica Simpson "Dalton" chambray jacket for $79 on www.nordstrom.com; Spiked tuxedo blazer for $32.80 on www.forever21.com; rag & bone tuxedo jacket for $194 on www.nordstrom.com; Rachel Roy tuxedo jacket for $448 on www.bloomingdales.com; MM Couture tuxedo blazer for $99 on www.macys.com; GUESS tuxedo blazer for $138 on www.macys.com; Cropped tuxedo jacket for $128 on www.victoriassecret.com; Tuxedo style blazer for $34.80 on www.forever21.com.
