Spring 2010 Part 3: Spotlight Special on Versace

Versace 

Dearest Donatella,

Your line stole my heart this season, I don't think it's ever giving it back.

Love, 

Kaitlin

Versace this season is amazing. I love how a lot of designers are working with the pastel, Easter colors and not trying to do anything to dramatic. As we are trying to veer out of recession mode, the bright colors make us smile. I love how Donatella was inspired by Alice in Wonderland (which comes out this March!) and worked around that. The colors and prints are awesome and add a unique touch to pieces that look like her older works. My personal favorites are the purple gown at the end and the pink Alice in Wonderland print dress. What about you?

Spring 2010 Part Two: Beauties on the Runway

Other than the amazing clothing, handbags and shoes is the faces of the models. The beauty aspect of the runway is almost as well thought out as the couture. Here's some highlights from the runway. (Photo Credit: Style.com)

Christian Dior

This was one of my favorite looks. It was classic and colorful.

I'm lovin' the Glamour Age hair and the red lips! 

To hold in the wigs, the girls had to get their hair braided under. I think it would look just fine without the wig, those braids are wonderful!

Pretty, pretty sky blue eyes. 

Chanel

I love the highlights and the coral lips. Dare I say, fierce? 

That hair is like Marie Antoinette and Lady Gaga's hair-child.

I can't get over the hair arrangement.

It looks even better in the back!

Marc Jacobs

This look is intense. Can't wait to go beauty window shopping for the materials!

Wonderful!

With eyes closed, it looks simple.

Versace

(This will accompany my review of her Spring 2010 collection. One word: Fabulous.)

Karlie Kloss is simply darling.

The purple eyeliner and the loose hair seems so easy but so...beautiful at the same time.

Simplicity.

Purple and nude.

Check out for Part 2.1 for where to buy!!!

How To Wear This Season's Cargo Pants

I know, I feared the cargos too. But I actually like them. If you go back to my Spring Fashion Review, Ralph Lauren executed them perfectly. Here's a few cargos and what to wear them with. P.S....Happy New Year!!

New York & Company City Style Zip Cargo Pants 

Price: On Sale for $7.99 DEAL!!!

I can't say I don't like these. They are tailored and perfect for this season. Get them while you can!

What to Wear These With:

Ralph Lauren Blue Label Slim-Fit Stretch Poplin Shirt

Price: $145

I didn't pick this shirt because her pants are khaki, I picked this shirt because it resembles something most of us have in our closets. I would tuck this shirt in (once again, not inspired by the picture).

Jessica Simpson Staria Pumps

Price: $92.00

You don't want to be matchy-matchy with accesories. Brown always compliments khaki, darker browns. I like these shoes in Cognac. They'll also add definition and length to your legs so the cargos don't cut you off.

Diane von Furstenberg Lady Leather Gladiator Sandals

Price: $295

I love gladiators and heels, so if you like both, you'll also love these. They are around the same color as the JS one, but more chic and not so classic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J.Crew Ripstop Cargo Pants 

Price: $79.50

These pants come in three colors, I like the faded black for our next look. These pants are soft and comfortable and less formal.

What to Wear Them With:

Gap Double Knit Blazer

Price: $59.50

I like this blazer. It's not too fitted and not too loose. It's shrunken and looks super comfy...that's always what pulls me in.

Gap The Pocket Boyfriend T

Price: $19.50

This should be in your closet already. It comes in a bunch of colors, feel free to experiment!

Boutique 9 Glory Sandals

Price: $130.00

I love these sandals, I have a pair just like them. They will add a little extra to this otherwise plain outfit but won't be overwhelming with the cargos and blazer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to Wear With Both:

Forever 21 Brava Bracelet Set

Price: $7.80

Any simple gold bracelets would look good with either of these outfits.
