Trend Watch: Animal Instincts

Animal prints are really taking over fashion in a big way, not only this season, but year round. How can you not love a print that’s bold yet neutral at the same time? Leopard print in particular is becoming one of the hottest prints to see and be seen in. Play around with leopard print by throwing in a bright pop color with your accessories or mix it up by adding a different print like floral (as seen on the last outfit below).

Neons and bright, bold colors have become this season’s eye-catching trend to watch, and for good reason. Sprinkled in with your neutrals, bright hues really create a fresh focal point to your look.  Adding in an element of pop using bright colors can be as simple as incorporating a bold-colored bag or shoe to an otherwise understated ensemble.

Below are just some of our favorite brights to add to your summer fashion repertoire: (clockwise)

Marc by Marc Jacobs espadrille: What better way to liven up the classic espadrille wedge than by adding a cheerful dose of yellow?

Rebecca Taylor Party Girl Strapless Dress: Want a cocktail dress that’s completely envy-worthy? This flirty hot pink number should do the trick!

Kate Spade New York Gracie Crossbody in Gulabi: The prim and proper structured shape of this bag is juxtaposed by the bright pop of candy pink.

Cosabella Never Say Never Flirtie Bandeau Bra in Barbados: This lovely bandeau bra is perfect to wear under this season’s sheer or oversized tank tops.

Hudson Hampton Cuff Short in Blue: We are head over heels over this fresh approach to denim shorts. These just scream “summer”.

Tips For The Trendy Traveler

Traveling can be great for the mind. Learning about new cultures, visiting historic monuments and dining at local restaurants can be a reinvigorating experience. Perhaps you made a New Year’s resolution to spend more time travelling. Our style experts have put together a hot guide to staying fashionable and comfortable while jet-setting across the world. 

Airplanes are hardly ever comfortable but a few easy style choices can make you feel first class. 7 For All Mankind presents the sexy Skinny in rich gummy velvet. The lightweight super stretch velvet pant flaunts a classic low rise and fitted skinny leg that falls just below the ankle for a sleek fit. A light camisole such as the Cosabella Smooth Camisole offers a smooth, seamless silhouette and a draping Splendid Very Light Jersey Drape Cardigan will keep you comfy through each connecting flight. Add a pair of the ultra lightweight Corso Como Festive ballet flats for barefoot-feeling bliss. Pack all your goods in a super colorful LeSportsac 25” Expandable Upright. Identify your iconic luggage immediately with lovely allover flower design. 

If your sights are set on the shoreline, L*Space is your friend. Bring a little glam poolside in the L*Space Aberdeen Angel Padded Halter and the L*Space Aberdeen Catwalk Hipster. If you want to sit on the ship deck and catch up the latest bestseller, spin a tall tale of fashion and fortune with the Free People Folklore Shift Dress. Pack a hip pair of MICHAEL Michael Kors Lucca M2729S shades in your edgy and chic Big Buddha Bailey shimmering handbag. Ring in the Spring with a dazzling pair of Holiday Garden Flower Earrings from Jessica Simpson

Perhaps you are heading to the lodge this Winter on your getaway. Bundle up in the Marc New York By Andrew Marc Summit Jacket. The quilted construction and a down and feather blend of insulation provide unending warmth and comfort. When it comes to cold weather fashion, it’s all about the accessories. Add a sweet Lucky Brand Rosette Bloom Hat, Jessica Simpson Chiffon Pointelle Muffler and a cozy pair of UGG Fashion Belt Over Cuff Gloves and you’ll be the queen of the lodge. Pack your cold-weather wardrobe in the stylishly hip Heys Britto Collection Butterfly 26” Spinner Luggage Case. The hardsided polycarbonate composite suitcase with an artistic butterfly print is a rolling work of art. 

It’s a great time to head to New York for a Broadway show and sightseeing. If you’re heading downtown, the High Waist Skinny from 7 For All Mankind has a highish mid rise and fitted skinny leg that falls just below the ankle. Pair them with a Joie Reed B L/S V-Neck Top and a BB Dakota Houghton Jacket for a warmly fashionable look. A pair of Black Rooster Trista boots rounds out the look with heightened style. A soft leather casual-chic medium hobo will keep your personal items together while you are scoping out the city. The Kenneth Cole New York No Slouch Medium Hobo holds it all and looks great.

Whether you are planning a quick road trip or hopping on a private jet to the French Riviera, look your best and have fun. For more trends, visit our Trends page. Happy travels.

Incorporating International Fashion into Your Wardrobe: Finding the right Knickers for Valentines Day

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it seems only appropriate to make the topic of this international style article... knickers. The term that is often used to describe women's fabulous undergarments, derived from several phrases including the ever popular, "Don't get your knickers all in a twist". With that being said, don't worry about searching for the best pair of knickers for that special day; I've bunched up a few silk, satin, and lace favorites. Feel free to incorporate this international style into your Valentine wardrobe.

Ciao Bella, naturally a line that is named after the Italian name "beautiful thing" would construct some of the sexiest kickers available for women. Cosabella's Never Say Never Hottie is an elegant hot pant, available in four feminine colors. The lace lays flat on the body adding flattery to the waist line and flaunting all the best assets.

Natori Feathers Girl Brief has a stunning embroidered feather detail that makes it difficult to take your eyes off (although that doesn't sound like too much of a problem) Its high-waisted style boasts a retro feel which makes these knickers flirty and fun. Ongossamer's Biscayne Lace Boyshorts features a hipster low rise and an exclusive Biscayne lace trim, exclusive to Ongassamer designs. It may flaunt more conservative full rear coverage but the unique ruched back seam still gives you, or others, something to talk about.

French knickers typically refer to those with a lace trim so we know what to expect from a line named Le Mystere. My personal favorite is Le Mystere's Camille Hipster knickers for its seamless appearance. It's available in two solid colors, but boasts a beautiful lace front, and of course, features a decorative trim on the waistband.
