Summer is officially here, though it doesn't really feel so here since it just doesn't stop raining! However those of you that can soak up the sun rays (use sunscreen please) might be interested in knowing what's going to be trending this season. Polka Dots! Polka dots come back for another season of fun dotting, so make sure to own something allusive to this trend, make it a headband, a shirt of even your short shorts! Tribal Prints! Avatar left us craving for tribal prints and dark, muddy palettes. This craze will probably die with the lovely, warm sun when Summer is over so, if you can afford it, grab a few garments and complete your one-hit Summer Season Wardrobe. Nautical Style Dreaming we are cruising on a yacht is now all the more possible with the gorgeous dresses and shirts that are available this season. Stripes and cute anchor buttons are all aboard! Tie-Dye Yes, a blast from the 90's is back to say hello! Grab a tie-dye shirt or make one yourse...

Being completely honest, I truly am not into today's pop artists and their style. I very much hate it sometimes when they are named fashion icons and/or turn into fashion designers and haven't even set foot in a design school. Ok, enough with the rant. Now this editorial has made me make an exception. The New York Times Style Magazine featured Taylor Swift in their most recent issue and I must say how impressed I am with this shoot. It was an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot that definitely took my breath away. I must say I admire how poised, elegant and sweet she looks in every pic. I adore how the makeup looks on her and how she adds grace to everything she's wearing. She totally earns the title of fashion icon in my book.

As you all might notice from past posts, I'm getting quite interested in men's fashion a lot more than I ever was. There is something intriguing about this field, something untouched. Maybe the limitations that uninspire some designers and just attach them to creating just for women are a challenge to me. The colors, cuts, understanding the men clothing psyche, what appeals to them and what they want to express thru style is something I'm wanting to venture. Anyhoo, browsing around searching for a messenger bag for school (yes, I'm already shopping for school -any excuse is good for shopping, no?) I fell in love with this Japanese designer. I accidentally found one of his bags for sale on ebay and just flipped head over heels about everything else Takahiro Miyashita has designed. His line Number (N)ine was driving hiatus lane for a while but he's now back and I'm sooo happy I discovered him. These are some insane pieces from past collections:

I might have gotten the Glee bug a little late (been watching them for a bit more than a month -still trying to finish the first season) but I just had to share this cute editorial on the girl cast of the show. Though I do think the shoot was a tad short (well the amount of posted pics is just 3 or 4) it still reflected how fun the show and cast really are.

I have a feeling that I won't be having that much left over cash this Summer. Why, oh why are designers teaming up with affordable brands?? Ok, it is a good thing, but it's gonna leave me broke! I mean after J.P. Gautier's and Zac Posen's (tho I was kinda dissapointed with Zac's - the prices are a tad out of my league; I am a poor college student after all) collections with Target and now Alex Wang & Vena Cava bringing the khaki deal back to life (and to my closet) I won't have any spending money left over for ice cream. However the pieces are pretty imaginative. Safari anyone?? The designers: The Pieces:

All you need to create something astonishing is hidden in the past. History is a wonderful source of inspiration, of knowledge. I believe this year's Betsey Johnson Collection has this explosion of the New and the Old. I believe that she not only combined elements from past designs (like the flower on the dress - that was pretty typical of her designs in the 90's) but she has a marvelous representation of past decades of fashion history colliding with modern looks and uncontrollable splashes of color in every piece. I just had to pick my fave designs from this Fall's collection to show you all. =) Enjoy!! j Isn't she awesome!! Ok, so I love her style and how she does the cartwheel in every one of her runways; so unique. Oh, tomorrow is finally my 23rd b-day! Yes, I'm ultra excited even though I must go to work and proceed with my everyday weekday tasks, lol. I can't help but feel that I'm getting older and it does somewhat frighten me. Still ...

I really love denims! So if you love them too, join me as we take a sneak peak of Gap's Denim Fall 2010 Collection. Photo Source: Fabsugar
