They’re baaaa-aaaaack! Did you miss them?

Gladiator sandals are making a comeback for the spring 2015 season and they are being shown in all sizes. Tall gladiators, flat gladiators, high heel gladiators; they are all important for the spring 2015 season. Are you ready for this trend?

Gladiator sandals can be worn any which way this spring 2015 season. The flat styles can be worn with casual attire while high heels versions are appropriate for dressier occasions. You can go for an avant-garde look with tall gladiator sandals or keep it low key in ankle high styles. Whichever style suits you personal style, there is a gladiator sandal for you this spring 2015 season. 

When gladiator sandals came into style several years ago, the tall version was the most sought-after. Last year, when gladiators started to return to the fashion scene, only the low styles were appropriate. Now, for the spring 2015 season, you can wear any type of gladiator sandal style you wish! Love that!

If you wore this trend before, you might be able to shop your closet for gladiator sandals this spring. If not, look for neutral colors and any style that catches your eye. I found a few fabulous pairs of gladiator sandals for spring 2015 around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! I have my eyes on the black flat-form pair and the nude high heel pair shown above. Which styles do you like?

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉


Suede for spring 2015

Spring 2015 suede: Skirt / Handbag / Shoes

Suede is one of those fabrications normally associated with fall clothing. Despite this association, designers have decided to break the stereotype and use suede in their spring 2015 collections. This nod towards the 1970’s inspiration found in many designers spring 2015 collections, is a soft and refreshing take on spring fabric.

Although not dominant in New York, suede was favored by Paris and Milan designers on the spring 2015 runways. This soft fabrication found in both real leather and faux, offers a vintage vibe reminiscent of the 1970’s. So many spring trends tie in with suede including fringe and boho-chic.

Suede can be found on everything including shoes, handbags, jackets and skirts for the spring 2015 season. I found a few fabulous suede items around the web for spring 2015. I hope you love them for spring! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉


Perforated leather for spring 2015

Perforated leather has a been a runway trend for the past few seasons. As some designers channel 1980’s and early 1990’s looks, perforated leather has made appearance on runways in New York, Milan, Paris and London. For spring 2015, designers have taken the trend and moved forward with it as trend setters on the street have demanded more of the retro style.

Perforated leather gives off a very 1980’s Pop vibe when shown on skirts, jackets, vests, pants and shirts. When shown on handbags and shoes, perforated leather offers a fresh and modern take on warm weather fashion. Although clothing and accessories in perforated leather come from the same designer’s studios, they offer different vibe’s. 

When wearing perforated leather this spring season, pick one perforated piece and style your look around it. If you wear two or more perforated pieces at the same time, it will be a fashion fail. Don’t want that do we!!! Yikes!

Which vibe are you? Are you into the 1908’s Pop look or are you going for more of a fresh and modern look this upcoming spring 2015 season? When you answer that question, you will know which type of perforated leather piece to shop for this spring season. Personally, I already did the 1980’s Pop look in the 1980’s, so I will be going for a more modern look with perforated shoes. I just need to choose the perfect pair!

I found a few fabulous perforated leather pieces around the web for spring 2015. These pieces are beautiful and perfectly on-trend for spring. I hope you love them!
