Moises De La Renta for Mango

KatyaUK Jewelry 3-Day Sale - 25% OFF

(Code: MY25%OFF)

Who could have thought that Moises will be taking his father's steps in quickly becoming famous in the fashion world. With the talent that he has and the passion for the fashion has brought him onto the pages of the magazines and blogs. The news rang that he will be designing a limited edition collection of T-shirts for Mango.

I think starting up at Mango and moving upto higher couture fame will be a perfect success ladder in the industry. It is certainly a bright path which will eventually earn him a spot in the Fashion Week.

The T-shirt collection was called MDLR which has integrated lots of jewels, chains, triple/double bows into the simple black, grey and white Tees. I am a bit late with the news since the London stores have been already selling the Mango T-shirts like crazy in 2009. With Moises's arrival in April 2010, the sales have only been going up and up. There are more surprises to come and designer’s couture influence. I cant wait for his full collection to come out, this is when he will be presented in his full light.

Casual Denim, Safari Boots & Cinderella Skirt


If you think of Casual Denim, Safari Boots & Cinderella Skirt, what is the first thing that comes to you mind? I see somebody who is riding a horse in the desert looking like Meggie from movie "The Thorn Birds". This is not what I have expected on the pages of the recent fashion magazines. I have noticed that more & more designers have been providing us with the "opposites attract" looks. In particular, the looks have the drive for combining the softness of the Cinderella skirt, manhood of the cowboy boots and casual chic of the denim.

This is not only a Spring outfit, it is actually was picked as a Summer Look of 2010 and will run strong & popular through the Fall. My favorite pick for Cowboy boots are the Safari Black Cowboy Rain Boots. They have the print of the astride and can be worn in the rain.

There are a lot of cut outs, front and back, triangular shaped bra and certainly the short skirt will make any body look great. It is important to choose the right time to wear it.

Nude Dress to Die for by ASOS

I don't care what anybody says but ruffles have always been in style. No need to have a color or a fancy material implemented. The only thing that is a must - nice tan which is easy to get by using any of the tanning towels. The one that I especially like is the L'Oreal BODY EXPERTISE SUBLIME BRONZE Towelettes.


ASOS has stole my heart by introducing this Nude Heavy Ruffle Shoulder Dress. The presentation of the shoulders and back is super unique & the front reminds me of the 17th century corsets which have low oval neck with the structured bust line. The material is light weight with the silky feel made out of 100% viscose. Viscose is a type of rayon which reminds me of a mix of cotton and silk. That is why it is a material which flows gently along the lines of the body. Must say, it is a top pick of the Summer 2010. Watch me wearing it with the cream color short platform boots and silver/gold purse.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Pant-less Collection


The runways are full of new inventions, new colors and especially exciting new style surprises. Dolce & Gabbana has shown its risky side by introducing their collection pantless, all legs, no bottom. What I mean is that designers used one piece bodysuit made out of the expensive fabric dressed up with boots, heels and jackets. What more would you expect from them?

Most jackets carry out a tuxedo look in black & grey colors with the mix of off white, cream dresses and tops. A couple of bodysuits have stitched gold ornaments giving them a creative gypsy look. The collection could not proceed without those animal prints that Dolce & Gabbana is so famous for. It was mostly introduced in the corset tops, dresses and lining of jackets. Polka dot dresses and skirts give this collection an innocent look with desire to learn more about it. You are excited to see next model step onto the runway. Soft silky see-through material is flowing easily as a top coat for black bodysuits which also have very constructive design.

Handbags are carried specifically in the right hand and the stretch boots have an easy comfortable feel of long socks.

This collection has its own demand and its a demand for beautiful long legs, pair of comfortable shoes and an attitude. London's scene has been experimenting with such style for almost a year. Women have taken new highs to show up to work pantless. Yes, they have explained it to their bosses as a new fashion which should be appropriate for work as well. Brave English women are followed by the Dolce & Gabbana's Spring Collection.

Layering, Layering, Layering – How to pull it off?


I have never been a fan of layering clothes but recently this trend has stuck in my head and I have actually looked into what has made it so popular this season. Tank top, shirt, sweater, scarf and a P-coat would make you look trendy this season. What about the bottom? You can actually have long socks, pants, skirt and even a scarf tied around your waste. And do not forget a handbag and gloves. It is important that you go along with matching color coordination. You should not include more than three different colors and should not exceed more than five layers.

First, think of what are you trying to achieve with layers. You might come to the point where you would even get discouraged since patterns might play its part of being hard to work with. Short & long sleeves might be uncomfortable to wear. At this point, you should definitely layer your outfit first with an item which would be visible the most, around the neck, below the waste, even the sleeves. Then move on to either V-neck or round neck sweater, shirt or dress. More layers needed, add on a vest, cardigan or button down or possibly zip up shirt. The last one would be the most warmest clothing piece and of course, usually these are being coats or jackets.

Accessories can break the mix but be careful, nothing too tacky. Most importantly, try to pick something what will make you look taller and slimmer, for example, long chains or earrings. You are better off with the hair accessories since that something what will add the originality to your outfit.

Camouflaging with Pride


Trying to hide in the crowd? Wearing camouflage will not be the way to go since it undoubtedly what you need to wear this Spring. It will not leave you unnoticed, if anything, it will make you stand out since combat clothing is totally “IN”. It’s a military tribute to the new wave of spring neutral colors and casual hip style. In addition to all the bright motifs of Spring 2010, you can experiment with neutral colors like black, off green, brown, grey and cream and try to mix them with jeans, leather and corduroy. Camouflage first appeared in Paris Fashion Week in the one of the Balmain’s collection, it carried over through New Year and exploded in New York Fashion week this month. Khaki colors are incorporated with pants, camisoles and jackets with the little risky lace and feminine macramé.
