Spring 2009 Trend Report

Spring is just around the corner and it might be here before you have time to fill your closet with these collections!
First look over Paris Fashion Week collections of Spring 2009:

Asymmetric: long/short trail-y gowns irreverent called ‘mullet dresses’.

Embroidery: glitz at Paris is given by bejeweled embroidery from rock chic to subtly aristocratic.

Hosiery: I have a weak spot for sheer, delicate stockings/tights that show up a fine leg. Sheer black, white, lace and two tones/ombre are Paris spring 2009 trends.

Jumpsuit: this fashion trend isn’t going anywhere; in fact it has every chance of becoming a wardrobe basic. Flattering, elegant and alluring, spring 2009 jumpsuits have daring décolletage and up-to-the-minute carrot pants.

Lace: traditional lace, almost with a vintage look gives the romantic vibe for spring. What’s more feminine than a lacy dress, anyway?

Leather jacket: from the fierce looking biker jacket, with big shoulders, to cropped boleros, a short leather jacket is a must have item for a modern wardrobe, and not just for teens.

Military: army jackets go great with both flimsy dresses and skinny jeans while golden buttons add a touch of bold sophistication.

One-shoulder dresses: a day-wear frock or an evening gown, this cut gives instant chic. The one-sleeve look is too 80s for me but the asymmetric draping on one shoulder has the quality of a classic.

Peg-leg or carrot pant: is the ultimate cut for trousers. Wide at hips, narrow at the ankles they do real wonders for shorter or curvier women, creating long, slim legs. High heels are a must.

Prints: the futuristic trend continues with these digital manipulated patterns.

Prom mini dress: strapless, short and puffy is the definition of this ultimate flirty cocktail dress.

Skinny jeans: thought this cut would go away? Distressed denim and leather are top choices for this bad-girl look.

White&Black: the classical (non)chromatic duo gets new look with these “boarding-school” dresses. Black top&white pant is one of my favorite combos and metallic accessories add the right amount of glam.

FAMILY

Family Matters

My sisters husband is actually and amateur photographer.

During a recent family BBQ he was snapping some photos.
This is a photo of me and one of my nieces and nephews.

I have a total of 8 nieces and nephews.
That’s right 8. I love them all dearly.

This is just a quick example of beauty captured through the creativity of an aspiring photographer.
