 in Trends  tagged dresses / runway trends / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Spring 2013 is here! This means the weather is getting warmer and dress season is about to begin! With the A-line skirt being the ultimate silhouette for spring 2013, and the pencil skirt being a close second, there are several types of fabulous dress options for the spring 2013 season.

Finding a dress which is on trend for spring 2013 will be easy this warm weather season. There seems to be something out there for everyone. Bright colors, neon hues and vivid pastels offer plenty of color options for everyone. The A-line skirt, and alternative pencil skirt, offer two popular silhouettes which work with almost every body type. Love this!

For spring 2013, dresses are being shown in solid colors, color blocking, prints and patterns. Necklines are high; meaning the less décolleté the better. Look for crew-necks, shallow V-necks and 1960’s boat-necks. 

Dress lengths are varied depending upon the silhouette of the skirt. For A-line dresses, look for hemlines ranging in length from the mid-thigh to the middle of the knee. For pencil skirt dresses, look for 1” above the knee to the middle of the knee. A third dress style to consider as an alternative is the still-popular maxi-dress which is casual, flowing and hits at the ankles. This is a style from spring 2012 which is still relevant in spring 2013 and may already be in your closet! Love that!

 in Shoes / Trends  tagged ankle straps / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Ankle straps have been dominating the runways in Paris, New York, Milan and London over the past few seasons, and for spring 2013, the shoe style has found popularity on the ultimate heel height of the season; the mule.

Mules are traditionally slip on shoes with a 1-2” heel. For spring 2013, the mule takes on a new look with the addition of the ankle strap. This is actually a very practical addition to the mule; it is well known among Fashion-savvy shoe fans that mules are hard to walk in because they simply fall off!

The ankle strap is being shown in many ways on mules this spring 2013 season. There are Gladiator style ankle straps, simple ankle straps, ties and thick, bold ankle straps. Ankle strap shoes are being shown in many different trend styles including rocker chic, bright colors, classic fabrications, pastels and color blocking.

Anke strap mules for spring 2013 work perfectly with spring 2013’s A-line skirts, dresses and of course, cropped jeans! The ankle strap mule is a great way to sass up a pair of printed, colored or regular denim. For the right look, opt for cropped denim skinnies.
