Be ready to say hello to warmer weather!
Think lace, light colored leather, voluminous A-line skirts!
I checked out Express again to see what is hot and in the Moment!
PONTE KNIT FIT AND FLARE SKIRT
- The skirt of the moment – it’s graphic, hot, and polished to perfection.
Soft, feminine textures and silhouettes….
Try a peplum hem - The silhouette makes your waist look smaller, and the peplum fabric will hide any tummy problem areas!! Just make sure it’s long enough to cover the parts you want hidden. A peplum top or dress will create a gorgeous, retro-hourglass physique… one of my most favorite trends! Plus, I love to add a skinny belt to them as well!
Peplum’s flirtiness connects with color blocking and an exposed back zip, for feminine style that’s perfectly on trend. Soft stretch knit construction makes this feel just right over a pair of skinny jeans.
A pair of beautiful posies seal the sweetly feminine style of this shoulder-baring halter style. Whether it’s date night or girls’ night out, its effortlessly sexy vibe is a superb fit.
High neck modified halter style – pair it with some white jeans this summer and you are good to go!
They really have a lot of great accessories as well. These chandelier earrings would definitely add a little drama
to your going out look!
You can always get back to basics!
Are you watching Fashion Star at all this season?
The Show allows you to watch up-and-coming designers compete for the chance of a lifetime! Here is a little bit about it:
NBC’s reality competition series “Fashion Star” launches its second season this spring featuring celebrity mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos, and television presenter and Glamour Magazine’s fashion editor-at-large Louise Roe as host. Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue return to the show, with specialty fashion retailer Express joining as the third buyer this season. “Fashion Star” will give 12 eager young designers the chance to win a multi-million dollar prize of launching their original collections in three of the nation’s largest fashion retailers.
Each week, the contestants are given a challenge to design clothing with a certain look, feel and function. Working with their designated team, the mentors offer insight and advice to contestants as they design their creations, shop for materials and oversee the production of their garments. The culmination of their efforts comes with an exhilarating fashion show during which they display their work to the three buyers: Caprice Willard of Macy’s, Terron E. Schaefer of Saks Fifth Avenue and Erika DeSalvatore of Express.
In the show’s most ambitious and dramatic twist, the buyers make on-the-spot decisions to purchase and carry the designs exclusively in their stores – pledging thousands of dollars in orders and often going head-to-head to bid on an item. Those designs become available immediately after the broadcast both online and in select stores the next day. What viewers see on TV that night will be on the streets and in stores in the blink of an eye – and with just a single trip down the runway, “Fashion Star” can change the lives and fortunes of these aspiring designers forever. Each week, one of the designers is eliminated.
Check out the fashions they have bought and if they are still available here.
