 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!

We found a few fabulous A-line and pencil dresses around the web and assembled them into this article. You can shop this trend directly from this article by simply clicking on the dresses you like in the shopping widget below. Love that! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Spring 2013 fashion trends: the A-line skirt

 in Trends  tagged dresses / runway trends / skirts / spring 2013 / summer 2013 / vintage styles by

The A-line skirt is arguably the most flattering skirt silhouette available to women. This classic and flirty silhouette shows off a slim waist and hides the derriere, thighs; and is long enough to cover the knees in some cases. Over the past few seasons, pencil skirts, short skirts and long maxi skirts have been the hot skirt styles. Not for spring 2013! The hottest style to hit the skirt and dress world for spring 2013 is the classic and sassy, A-line.

There are so many reasons to love the A-line skirt for spring 2013. The style is flattering, easy to wear, and easy to dress up or down; love that! A-line skirts can also be worn during the day or for evening occasions, adding to the versatility of the silhouette.

The hemline for A-line skirts this spring 2013 season is a moving target. A-line skirts and dresses are being shown in any hem length between the top of the mid-thigh down to the bottom of the knee cap. This means there is an A-line skirt for everyone! Fabulous!

One of the beautiful things about the A-line skirt is that you can hem it to any length you want. If you love the fabric on an A-line skirt which hits below the knee, and you would prefer it to hit higher, it will be easy to hem to the length you desire and still be on-trend for the season. Love that!

A-line skirts for spring 2013 are being shown in every color, print and fabric imaginable. Look for pastels, bright colors and neon hues; both as solids or color blocked. Prints are also hot for spring 2013, so of course A-line skirts and dresses will reflect all of the season’s hot floral prints, lace prints, painterly prints, geometric patterns, space prints and more.

We found a few fabulous A-line skirts and dresses for spring 2013 around the web and assembled them into this article. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

The holidays are fast approaching and the festive party season is beginning to fill up everyone’s calendars. Party invitations are arriving in the mail and tickets to shows are being bought. The one thing missing? A fabulous party dress to take you through the season!

There are so many fabulous dresses on the market for the holiday 2012 season. Designers are in love with shades of red, navy and green as well as sparkling gold and silver. Sequins and shiny fabrications are hot for the holiday season making the basic, little black dress hanging the closet looking like it should hang out in there for another year. Sorry LBD!

Party dresses for the holiday season are body conscious and on the short side. Dresses are featured in styles such as one shoulder styles, tank styles and split sleeve silhouettes with straight or form fitting bodies. The peplum trend from 2011 is still around and many holiday dresses will feature this feminine, flattering style. Most dresses are hitting above the knee to mid-thigh and being shown with glittering heels and sparkling clutches.

The one thing to remember this season when shopping for a holiday dress is to look for a vibrant, jewel tone color and/or sparkling sequin. Happy shopping, happy holidays and stay fabulous
