Trending - Color Block
Dear Fashion addicts,
Have you been conquered by the colors? We sure are since last year, and to our great pleasure, color blocking continues in 2012 at whole new level.
This amazing trend allows everyone to be an artist expressing themselves through colors. Everything's allowed, from extreme neon blocking to pastels for those who prefer mild.
If you are not into total-look, you can block the accessory. Matching shoes+bag now have new meaning and it is: "Color them boldly" .
*Tip Don't rush with unknown. If you are not experienced with color blocking, start with colors you feel comfortable with. Total look can be really "walking on the edge" and to avoid risk of fashion

Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2012
Elie Saab is a Lebanese fashion couturier adored among A-list celebrities who proudly wear his creations on the red carpet. He is also one of the most significant names in the world of high-quality, most luxurious wedding and evening gowns. When designing a dress, Elie is led by the principle that every woman should feel like a fairy tale princess in his gowns, which he apparently accomplishes with every single design.
His latest Haute Couture spring/summer 2012 collection brings a few surprises: there were shorter dresses with sleeves and high necklines, which is something that we don't usually see when it comes to Saab's designs. In this collection, he celebrated femininity with soft sorbet colors that remind of cotton candy: from baby pink, coral and mint to nude, sky blue and yellow.

Backless Dresses
If you're not a fan of showing too much cleavage, you'll be happy to know that the back is back to fashion. Backless dresses and shirts are becoming more and more popular as a trend, so our prediction is that this spring and summer the streets and red carpets will be crowded with women showing off their beautiful backs.
Why the back?
It's suggestive and sexy, yet mysterious and subtle. You can strike a unique balance between showing off a lot of skin, while keeping things classy. Also, for those girls who aren't satisfied with their cleavage size this trend can be a great way to show off their best parts, and hide the imperfections.
Celebrities such as Rihanna, Adriana Lima, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow etc. just love their backless dresses, they realized that this trend is amazing, because it redefines "sexy". While the usual things we associate "sexy" with (cleavage, short and tight) can turn out as a border between sexy and tacky, a backless piece always keeps an air of elegance and unbelievable self-confidence.
For more casual but equally sexy and seductive look, backless tops are an easy way to show an unexpected bit of skin but also stay in the casual zone. You can wear your backless top with denim, maxi skirt or colorful trousers. That way you are allowed to add some accessories for an effortlessly stylish look. Try with cascading back necklace that focuses attention on your back.

How to wear it: First of all, you should balance the naked back with simplified, covered-up front. Forget about necklaces and big earrings; backless dress itself isn't very versatile, so you have to choose wisely.
For a day in the city wear your backless dress with simple shoes and a small purse, it would be advisable to pick a purse with some embellishment, that will compensate for the lack of jewelry . The best colors for a day look are black, nude and white, but you can also pick a floral print for a romantic look. Stilettos are the preferred choice when it comes to footwear, but you can also pull it off with single-colored wedges or even Oxford flats.

For a night out or a glamorous event a backless dress is the perfect solution as it can easily transform you into the star of the night. For an elegant look, you can never go wrong with neutral colors, but also don't be intimidated to use the vibrant ones. Wear your vivid color dress with simple black/nude shoes and a matching clutch. Include just one small item of jewelry: it could be a pair of earrings or a silver bracelet.
Hairstyle: The best hairstyle for any of these looks is certainly a bun and a ponytail. Depending on the event, you can choose a braided up-do for elegant outfits or a messy bun for casual looks. The backlessness is the entire point of the outfit - you have to show it off!
Appropriate Bras: Last but not least, bra straps should not be visible under any conditions and plastic straps are a big no. Also, avoid wearing bra for at least a few hours before you wear the dress. Wear a bra with very low back strap or with some embellished straps, a corset with low back or a silicone invisible bra.
Feathers Everywhere!
World's biggest fashionistas started feather trend last year that continues to outshine any other fashion tendency this year too. Feathers embellish outfits, dresses, collars and add some luxury to jewelry, bags and skirts. They stand for femininity, high style and classiness.
Some of the most famous fashion designers incorporated feathers into their collections, e.g. Christian Dior, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen, Marchesa, Versace and so on. Style icons such as Blake Lively, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Kardashian are huge feather freaks. According to number of feather outfits Jennifer Lopez wore, it seems like she's seriously "infected with feather flu".
My humble opinion is that feathers look the best in nude & pale pink color. That combination is really a statement of extravagance, girliness and glamour.
You know you can't go unnoticed with feathers. How to pull out this trend? Treat feathers like sequins. Wear them, don't let them wear you! Feather items are a statement in themselves, so you should tone down the rest of your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a feather dress, let your shoes, accessories and makeup be 'calm' and simple. Go for neutral shades for lips and eye makeup and bun hairstyle or loose curls, so you actually accentuate just one part of your look.
Biggest feather fanatics use them even as hair extensions, nail embellishments and fake lashes! Yes, it does look great but not for everyday look. If you want to glam up for a special occasion, then it is absolutely fine to add some feathers to your hairstyle and makeup.
Besides letting feathers be the main feature of your look, you can also let it be a supporting cast. There are great feathery accessories that you can include in your outfit without drawing much attention.
What do you think about this trend? Do you have any feathery items and what do you match it with?
