Spring Trend Report

Spring Trend Report by Misspoptags featuring a tan belt

If you ask anyone who knows me, you learn that I am not the biggest fan of spring and summer fashion based on color palate alone. Don't get me wrong, I love to look sexy and I do enjoy mixing prints and florals but I do love more earthy tones. But, this Spring, I have remembered that those bright colors I normally stray from are also apart of my 'earth tone' wishes. And on that note, I have to show major props to Gucci 2011 Spring collection. I LOVE the colors, the sexiness, all solids coming together... Even the sleek hair and red lips and nails are a perfect match.

Kristen Stewart Chic

Kristen Stewart is one of those rare girls who's dynamic and quirky ways help set her apart from her hollywood peers. She definitely seems like the sexy, but shy "girl next door," type and I find that more interesting than her ever pretending to be one of her own screen characters. I like her rough edges, because it makes the shine so much brighter when the lights are not flashing.

Who's That Girl?

I love Vashtie. Her style is great... It's a good mix between urban chic tomboy and effortless confidence. Mixing leopard print tights, flannel, and a blazer with funky jewelry is my kind of girl. Not only is she stylish but he is an accomplished director and designer and all around it girl!

Geometrically Sound

Spring season always brings in florals and pastels so I can definitely appreciate when designers use bold colors and different shapes and textures. One trend that I have noticed is geometric shapes and puzzle pieces. Fashion is putting them together.

Check out DVF, Balenciaga, Gurung, and  Herchcovitch from their Spring 2011 collections.

CYNTHIA ROWELY FALL 2011

I love that I am seeing these rich greens and royal blues on the Fall 2011 runway. Cynthia Rowely is full of asymmetrical designs and rich velvet gowns, sheer separates and simple day dresses paired with waist band belts. I love the oversized sack-like dresses, they appear roomy but still sexy. I am obsessed with the prints mixed in with navy blues and forest greens as well.

Alice+Olivia

I love Alice and Olivia as a brand. I feel as though they make it special to be a young woman in the world. The Fall 2011 line seems so 70's retro and delicate with unique beading, furs, and sophisticated sequins. This line represents the fashionable socialite or the stylish fashionista student. The deep reds and plum purples accent the style of hippie chic trends for the future.

Staying true to girly chic style, Alice+Olivia deliver a powerful insight to a fashion forward girl on the go. Here are a few of my favorite looks:

Fall 2011

     When new seasons are up for preview, I always turn to www.elle.com to see the newest looks and trends. They always have the front row seat to fashion week. And first up today is one of my favorite lines, 3.1 Phillip Lim. I love the ponchos and new spin on harem pants The mixtures of leather and brighter colors for the fall are genius.  The color palate is just beautiful and simple. 

     Fall is and will always be my favorite season for fashion. Layering and being creative with shapes and material, I feel, is more challenging. And if a designer can master that skill and create RTW looks that trickle down and influence trends, I am a fan. 3.1 Philip Lim does just that. Royal blues, greens, soft peaches and intense grays... a very strong collection. Here are some of my favorite looks from his collection:
