I think everyone can agree that Spring has to be the best season of the year. My favorite time of spring is around the month of April going forward into May when the sun shines freely. Which means in TrendDoll terms – let the abundance of color prevail!
I used to be very weary of the whole “white on white” way of thinking in regards to spring fashion. It was such a clichéd trend used over and over again, so much to the point where I’ve opted out of following the gossiped trend forecasts. Then again I am such a serious klutz when it comes to wearing white. You’ll usually find a few sweat stains, in addition to my hormonal sweat stains usually found around the armpits of white ensembles that I once wore up and down the city streets. So this spring, I’ve been looking to …

I have only ten days left until I leave NYC! What I am going to miss the most about the big city is the selection of towering shoes that make their presence felt while stomping ground on the cold concrete pavements. And with each new season that comes around, there is an annual upgrade of our most dependable trends. Case in point…the wedge style shoe! But wait! The runways have already determined what we should look for while shopping for this trend. Think bold printed exteriors, exaggerated wedge heels, embellishments (minimal or extreme). And if you are wondering what can solidify your belief that this trend will actually work for you – try to think about what items are a constant staple in your closet space. Off the top, we’ll match skirts & dresses with a unique pair of wedge styled shoes. But for 2010, try incorporating a …

Minimal – that is the latest forecast for this spring. If you’ve already noticed that this season’s collections have been clean, basic, and straight to the point. The winter season is still upon us, but as you already know the retail sector is always a two seasons ahead. In other words, you’ll have ample time to collect your thoughts on which trends to work with for the upcoming spring transition. Fanny packs…there is something about a fanny, bum bag, belt back – (whatever you would like to call it ) that brings some kind of usefulness into your daily lifestyle. Yeah, some of us automatically think that senior citizens or tourist fawn over the look of the fanny pack. But you might want to reconsider the notion. Marc Jacobs obvious had more than just ordinary handbags on his mind. Jacobs took his love for the “fanny pack” above …

Denim, what is there to say other than it has to be the quintessential must have item to have in your entire wardrobe. Whoever deems it necessary to live without a pair of denim must have one boring outlook on fashion. There are just so many brands & interesting styles to choose from! Skinny jeans have had its share of pro’s and cons seen on various body types, leaving fashion junkies in a constant battle behind the trend as a whole. I on the other hand still battle (at times) with the skinny jean – but can vouch heavily on rocking them with a pair of calf-length boots. Then comes the re-birth of the ever so popular boyfriend jean, which I have to say that I wasn’t really feeling at first. Thanks to the saggy crotch & awkward fit. But I can always welcome that comfort factor that looks …

If you haven’t noticed the weather reports as of late, or felt the eerie bone chilling weather in your neck of the woods. Then that obviously means you’ve been snuggling up next to a warm heater with a big smile on your face. And if you’ve stepped foot out on the streets of NYC, during this arctic blast we all like to call the winter season, then you already know that women are bundling up from head to toe. The winter months are really a tricky considering that your own line of defense is your winter coat, warm boots, & other quintessential winter accessories. I totally doubt, if you take the chance to notice what anyone is wearing once that cold chill hits your brow. But what I’ve been noticing (behind the screen) is that some of our favorite celebrities have scrolled back into the archives on us. …
