Its Going To Be All White!!

As natural as white may sound it is still the foundation of fashion to this day.

With the mercury slowly rising, it's time to think about what trends are going to be in this summer moving from spring to the full throttle of the sun (being summer). This refined shade makes the base of every wardrobe and flatters every single person. (no joke it does)  This hue complements all skin tones but it also works well with every single shade of the colour wheel. Mixing and matching has never been made more easy.

But white from head to toe seemed like to be the obvious choice for the spring to summer transition.  Designers have expressed their admiration for this lovely shade lately in the spring/summer shows in NYC. With many designers such as Valentino, Simone Rocha and Stella McCartney going for the pretty filigree fabrics.



Wearing white is like a blank canvas. You can pretty much do anything you like. Add bold, bright accessories or keep it neutral and use pastel colours. Put your own spin and own it.

Whatever you do I'am sure it will be all White!!!

Leather Harness....Hit or Miss??

Yes you read it right...a leather harness. Surprise, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has moved onto our Spring Fashion catwalks...for now. There were quite a lot of harnesses and colourful leather-heavy looks for spring this year.

But I have to say the binding leather look is quite classy if teamed up with a sophisticated outfit of course. Some leather harnesses look chic and trendy, for example have a look at the 3 images below they look trendy and elegant. (I would have never thought that I would have used 'elegant' and 'harness' together in a sentence)

 The important thing to remember is to treat this piece as an accessory. Make it blend into your outfit and match it with what your wearing. As from the examples below all of the harnesses are 'blended' into the outfit but not made the center piece, that is the key into nailing this look.

I don't think we will see people popping down to the shops in a leather harness any time soon but try it with lady like silhouettes and it might be a winner this spring.

Lace is Back!

This feminine fabric is back for spring 2013. It screams sexy but classy. Two reasons why I love lace.

1. Lady like

2.Can be worn incorporated in so many pieces. (Dresses, skirts, hats, gloves and the list goes on)

This old fashion favourite has been transformed into the 21st century with many designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Luisa Beccaria and Roberta Cavalli giving lace an upgrade and making it on trend and on style this Spring.

Loewe

Oscar da la Renta

One of my favourite looks this season is the 'all white' trend,  add a mix of lace to it and it screams sophistication and utterly mouth watering.

Roberto Cavalli

Look for dresses, tops, skirts, and accessories in any color palette. They'll add some elegant sophistication to your current wardrobe and keep the feeling going as temperatures begin to rise. Remember lace can look tacky if the quality isn't right. Look for quality and invest in a lace piece you will wear through out the season.

Going Stripe Crazy!!!

Did someone say Stripes?

Whether horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, black and white or in living colour, stripes make a graphic statement, day or night. And while we cant think of a time when stripes weren’t in, they are certainly back in a big way for Spring 2013.

Spring Time: Bermuda Shorts

Trending Now: Bermuda Shorts

Leave the short shorts in your wardrobe this Spring. Instead we are welcoming the Bermuda shorts with open arms!! Ladies, the hemline of shorts is now at its all time low.

The Bermuda Short was all over the catwalk at New York's Spring Fashion parades.  Bermuda shorts are perfect for spring, easy to incorporate to your wardrobe and oh so flattering. If opting for a loose style then try it in denim. Very cool, and very on trend. Chic, flattering and fam-friendly!! Bermuda!! Take a bow!!

La Moda Stylist top 2 Styling Tips

Wear a fitted Bermuda short and pair it with a loose, high-low top. Try a printed pattern but wear it with minimal accessories or the outfit will become to busy.

Look for detail in a white loose Bermuda short. Wear a fitted colour top (try orange or pink) and tuck it in. Pair it with a metallic shiny belt. Ultra chic and feminine.
