One of the big handbag trends from the fall/winter 2013/2014 runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London was the soft clutch. Over the past few years clutches have moved themselves from an evening staple to a daytime must-have. Clutches have taken on many different forms from structured envelopes to studded weapons to work-ready briefs. For fall 2013 clutches have taken a new turn; they are soft.

Soft and slouchy clutches are hot for fall 2013. This luxurious and effortless style has made it from the runways to store shelves; which means this trend will find itself on the street quicker than you can say “buy it!”

Every season daytime and evening clutches show themselves in different sizes. For fall 2013, soft clutches are small and medium in size. Smaller sizes are being shown in dressy, evening appropriate fabrications while medium clutches are in thicker, casual daytime fabrics.

Soft clutches for fall 2013 are being shown in autumn hues such as burgundy, dark purple, grey, charcoal, black, chocolate brown, pale beige, green and navy. Although there are many other colors in fall 2013’s color palette, these are the main hues being shown on soft clutches. The traditional autumn shades of fall 2013 and classic neutral tones are making this season a little bit darker and luxurious than what we have seen over the past few years. Move over brights, autumn is back!

Summer is upon us! This means it is time to find the perfect beach tote which will work not only at the beach, but will look fabulous and “hot-off-the-runway” poolside too!
Although bright colors are hot right now, there is a slight trend towards calmer hues and neutral tones. Perhaps Fashionistas on the street are becoming tired of all the bright eye candy?
For the summer of 2013, look for beach totes with stripes and neutral colors. Designers are showing shades of tan, black and white spruced up with navy, blue, red, yellow and orange touches. Of course, colors are hot this season, so bright pink, cobalt and green beach bags work too!
I found a few fabulous beach totes around the web which will cart everything a fashion-savvy girl needs to the beach, the pool or for a weekend getaway. All of these fabulous tote bags are assembled into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 

Lace dresses for summer 2013

 in Trends  tagged dresses / lace / summer 2013 by

Lace has been a huge trend over the past few years, and for summer 2013 lace dresses have exploded with popularity. These sweet yet seductive styles are being shown mainly in A-line and sheath style dresses which hit at the knee or just above the knee.

The lace dress is turning out to be “the little black dress” of the season. Lace dresses are perfect for cocktail parties, dinner parties, going to the theater and other evening activities. In addition to being an evening staple this season, the lace dress is also perfect for wearing to a luncheon or afternoon wedding!

When it comes to colors, darker hues work perfectly at night while soft beige and white shades look crisp and refreshing during the day. Although, a white lace dress at night can be the ultimate statement for the summer 2013 season! 

Lace dresses are being shown in all of the colors of the season ranging from sweet pastel hues to neon shades. Neutral colors including beige, white, black and coffee are also staples for the summer season. If you live in a warm climate, a lace dress in coffee or black can easily take you through the fall season; all you need to do is switch up your accessories! Love that!

On the runways, designers created color blocked lace dress and also used lace as an overlay with other fabrications. They also used lace as an accent fabric on dresses. Although solid colored lace dress are what has been spotted the most on the street, the runway trends are still available as an alternative to a solid lace dress. That being said, if a full lace dress is a little too much for you, look for lace trim or a lace overlay if you still want to rock this trend for summer 2013.

Since lace dresses are so fabulous, I found a few amazing pieces around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. To shop, simply click on the photo you like and you will be redirected to the online shop where you purchase the dress! Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
