Tartan Love

So, one of the hottest trends for this Fall/Winter is Tartan/Plaid. Tartan is very versatile and lot's of celebrities have been spotted rocking this trend in different ways: tops, skirts, jackets, bag, and so on. 

Topshop long sleeve dress, $73 / Long sleeve top, $24 / Topshop polyester t shirt / Zara checked pants / Mango pointed-toe pumps, $76

I love the classic Red, Grey, Black and White plaid prints, but I also really appreciate other versions of the trend: Black, Grey and White, Blue and Green, and many more.I feel like the other versions of plaid allows for more versatility, for example: mixing prints. 
You could rock these Blue Zara plaid pants and the Red Topshop shirt with some Red or Nude colored pumps!

Will you be sporting this major Fall trend? What's your take? Also, which tartan print is your favorite?

Once a Week Chic

Hey there!

So, I discovered this new Fab website called Once A Week Chic. Basically, the website showcases one look each week. This look is made up of trendy, stylish and affordable pieces. The single pieces that come together to form the look are then sold either together as the whole look or alone (piece by piece).

The Fab thing is, you can buy a complete look each week, for just $194. This includes, accessories, bottoms, tops and shoes; so everything basically from head to toe!! Also, they are US-based but ship worldwide for only $9.95!

Although the looks change each week, you can still view previous featured looks but, only shop for the current look! (If the previous look is not sold out, you can still shop for it!)

I think it's a pretty cool idea and yes, I would recommend it to a friend. :)

Head to Once A Week Chic right now, to view and shop this week's look before it sells out! :)

FAVORITE SPRING 2013 RUNWAY LOOKS - 1

OH Boy! There's a whole lot of talented people in the world!

I was going through lots of runways way looks  for Spring 2013 by various designers so, I decided to share a few of my favorites I've seen so far! I have broken them down into parts and this is the first one. These looks reflect my personal style :) I love these looks because of their creativity, color and the fact that they are very wearable!

Some of the designers include:

Micheal Kors, Victoria Beckham, Zac Posen, Burberry Prorsum, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Oscar de la Renta

Enjoy!

What do you think of these looks? Which is your favorite? Although the Victotria Beckham black midi dresses caught my eye, for some reason, the Black maxi Oscar de la Renta dress with the gold belt stood out to me! It' just perfect! :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

BLACK AND GOLD

Hello Blog-reader, I hope you're having a great day so far! :)

There are so many combination trends hitting runways and streets this season. some of these trends are: Orange and Pink (and other similar shades); Blue/Purple with White and Black; Red (this is one of the versatile colors. it has been mixed and matched with so many other colors like black, white, grey, pink and orange); Monochrome (Black and white); Burgundy and Black; Burnt Orange and Black; Mustard and Black/Hot Pink; different shades of Blue mixed together; and many more!!!

Black and Gold/ Silver has also made a huge statement in terms of accessories! I, however, prefer the Black and Gold trend to Black and Silver. There's a lot of detailing created with these colors. You have: patterns on necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings; there's also studs and 'spikes' on heels of boots, shoulders of sweaters and jackets, on illusory dresses; they're also on many clutches and bags!

What I LOVE about Black and Gold is, it gives an outfit and 'edge'. You can be all girly with your lace dress and cute flats but then, the moment you put on say, a black leather jacket with a studded collar, your outfit has been 'stepped-up'.

Here are some pictures of this trend in motion:
