Cushnie Et Ochs Spring 2013 Runway Is All About Clean Chic

Cushnie Et Ochs Spring 2013 Runway Review: Very clean, chic, minimalism seen at Cushnie Et Ochs.  And a splash of Blade Runner-esque necklines and cut-outs, which certainly can't go wrong on this uber modern Spring 2013 line. >>MORE: Cushnie Et Ochs There's no fuss, no bulk, no added nonsense to this collection which is something to be appreciated these days when the fashion market is so saturated with designers who tend to one-up each other with how many studs or chains or sequins they can fit on a single garment.  In this case we are dealing with white, black, sea green and a touch of deep purple - that's it. An excellent, close fit goes a long way when dealing with such

Yigal Azrouël Unpretentious Downtown Ease for Spring 2013

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. Ease there was in the super clean collection that, from profile, played like a modern riff of Bonnie Cashin's 60s non-fussy vibe, echoing the natural theme with colors named Ice, Quartz, Cactus, Optic and Jet.

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

When to wear flip-flops? Jessica Alba gets it…

Stylist Advice: Can I wear flip-flops in the city? Oh yes, the "when to wear flip-flops" in place of proper shoes debate continues... Frankly, the idea of wearing flip-flops as shoes in the city wrecks my nerves. UNLESS, you are heading back from a pedicure as Jessica Alba is caught doing in New York.  At a certain age, it is no longer cute or stylish to wear your beach shoes like a regular pair of shoes. It doesn't read trendy, but reads lazy. >> SHOPPING GUIDE: Cute Flats  There, I've said it, flip flops are not PROPER shoes. No way, no how. They have most definitely had a trendy moment, and may have even morphed into a hipster way of
