Yigal Azrouel spring/summer 2013
Yigal Azrouel spring/summer 2013 Yigal Azrouël Runway Review: In continuation of the architectural minimal silhouette from Fall 2012, Yigal Azroel delivered plenty of edgy yet soft floaty pieces perfect to keep the downtown set comfy on a warm day. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Yigal Azrouel spring/summer 2013 The Spring 2013 collection draws inpiration from nature's architecture and the effortless ease of hidden energy and environments, states the collection notes.

BCBG Max Azria Fashion Show Photos & Runway Review Spring 2013

BCBGMaxAzria  Spring 2013 Runway Review: BCBG is famously known for their young, contemporary, and often color blocked party dresses, but this season strays a bit from this mold and I am not certain it was their best move. Colors are more neutral and washed out and black casts a big shadow over this Spring 2013 line.  No, not your usual brights and bold blocks of color covering the airy pleated chiffons and crepes.  Not this season. There's a strong hint of Herve Leger influence, this could be expected as it's the sister line to BCBG, but I prefer keeping them separate! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Don't worry girls, not all is to be lost!  Think sexier and edgier, closer fits, and

Cindy Crawford for C&A
Get with ME on this one. She's gorgeous. She's fit. She's tall. She's successful. She's supermodel Cindy Crawford spieling about her new clothing line that  just debuted in Europe for C&A.

The Return of the Glitter Heel from Miu Miu – Trend Tuesday
