Animalistic Instinct - Spring 2011 MEN & WOMEN!

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do it on the discovery channel!
Haha remember that stupid song???
Well its not only jungle fever anymore people, its all about the Animal Kingdom - from amphibians to mammals to feathered creatures??? Wow what a crazy range of animals - but they seem to be hot this Spring - randomly picked from Noah's Arc and seductively plastered onto fashion items ranging from shoes to dresses to shirts! And let us not forget the men because ohhhh boyyyy is this animal trend hot for them toooo!!!!! Designers want to bring out the sass in these boys haha but they are sticking to typical cheetah and leopard prints...kind of disappointing because the runway is capable of presenting anythingggggggg..I'd still say its a weeee bit daring for a straight man but oh so sexy to seduce those gay boys hehe

Key Animal Trends

• Animal prints re-invented in bright colors
• Animals are STILL hot in mother natures colors
• Oversized prints
• Giant animal heads being the main focus of item
• Any animal goes (reptiles, mammals, birds etc)

SWIM SUIT FASHION GUIDE - MERCEDES BENZ SWIM FASHION WEEK 2011

As I was on the prowl for a new swim suit for beach season coming up - I decided to analyze the MERCEDES BENZ SWIM collection and break it down into trend categories to see what is really hot right now because you know us fashionistas love to be wearing the hottest trendiest pieces :D


Now everybody already knows what swim suit is good for their body type and what the basics are so I decided to skip those and zone in on the trendy colors/cuts and prints! Here goes:

I work in the lingerie fashion industry and this FAUX-DENIM trend is really hot right now - All our biggest retailers are dying for any style that is in relation to this trend...obviously everybody in swim wear loves it too!!! This used to be associated to a very urban customer but not so much anymore!

This is a new trend that I am loving but these are solely show pieces - nobody in real life that wants to go to the beach would wear these lol but I still find them hot - these pieces look like they can be a 2 pc bikini but connected with netting, knots or lace - LOVE the black Beach Bunny swimsuit on the right!

Wow someones got cold nippies hahaha - crossovers are very popular right now - they used to be strong way back when but made a nice come back to spice up a simple swim suit!

O feathers! I heart them!!! They are so pretty and feminine and if you notice they are all peacock feathers :) Feathers are stilllll hottttt guysssss so keep on wearing them!

Eh they say everyone hates a gold digger but baby I love em - I am a sucker for anything gold! It was sort of taboo to wear all gold and a weeee bit raunchy but hell if you have the body - pleassssse rock it!!!

Ahhh jungle fever - I love what it means (haha) but Im not a hugggge fan of it...its kind of typical and pretty strong every year but just so you all know - its stillll here...so your still in style if your wearing it from decades ago lol

Now this trend is hot - mmmm especially on the guyyyy!!! I love a man that can wear girly colors and not be shy about it! I like the whole mix and match idea that Tyler Rose has going on :) Now I can go into my swim suit collection and mix-n-match whatever I want loll

Had to prove my point about the 3 hottest Spring 2011 colors - Yes orange is hot for both men and women!

MMMM I have nothing to say - pink speedo on sexy body - what more is there hahaha

This is a gorgeous Spring 2011 color - reminds me of an ice cold freezy pop - mmm I cannot wait for summer :D

OOOO white - lovvvve white - when you get a nice tan and your wearing white...sooo sexy! I am loving the whole crochet idea by Lisa Maree but more of a show piece if anything...

Designers are adding anything to give their basics added value and more funnnn! Everyone has a basic 2 pc but not everyone has starfish on theirs like Luli Fama!! I like to be different so these are a lot of fun :)

Meowwwww (or a zebra sound lol) - animals are sexy as helll this year in everything! I was kind of shocked that there weren't too many leopard prints but gotta love any animal :D

These are some fierce pieces! I wouldn't wear any of them except Mara Hoffmans 2 pc - WOW sexy as hellllll - I think I want to buy it for my trip!!!

Bigger is better! I am loving the first pc but abit scared about the boldness of the crotch area - make sure your clean shaven lollll and I think I want to buy the white Caffe swim suit alsooo ahhh too many choices!

These are cute but I am not sure how I feel about these lingerie-ish pieces...I like to keep my sexy lingerie collection separate from my swim suit collection... Seduction should be saved for the bedroom :x (As if swim suits have not become skimpy enough already)

Love these wild cards but pleassssse where can you wear these??? Terrible tan lines - eek - definitely for Miami rooftop parties under the umbrellas... Or for people that don't need or want to tan...not MOI! lol

J'ADORE DIOR!!! SPRING 2011 FAVE PIECES!!!

J'adore DIOR! Wow Mr Dior you never fail to amaze me - The beautiful ladies said "SHOW ME MORE COLOR!!!!" and OH boy did you work it for Spring 2011! Don't be afraid to go beyond the TOP 3 COLORS this Spring! From sunshine yellow, to candy pink, lime greens, blue skies and yummy mauves all smooshed together to create a seductive bowl of candy - AKA the Ladies!
Now that we got my color outburst/obsession out of the way - we can get down to business.

Key trends for Spring 2011

• Tie Dye Effect (Yes its backkkkkk)
• Crotchet effect/knots (referring back to the nautical trend which re-appears  EVERY spring and also creates a Peek-a-boo effect)
• Bright eyeshadows
• No more matchy matchy - Mr Dior is mix'n'matchin colors that don't necessarily match but they accent eachother!
• Ankle detailing on sandals/wedges (whether it is feathers or a lace up and bow)
• Draping effects (to hide some body bulge :D hehe)
• Ruffles (yayyyyy feminism)
• Above knee length dresses or long maxi dresses - NO INBETWEENS
• Halter necklines and MANY variations of it
• Fringes(Fringe bangs or fringe detailing on garments)
• Skinny belts
• Colorful handbags

The fun about fashion these days is that there is no right or wrong way to dress especially with all the trends emerging. If you are not sure how to strut your style then keep your wardrobe simple and accessorize by adding a flirty colorful bag or a pair of sexy sandals. Just remember that even though something is in style...doesn`t necessarily mean you should be wearing it.. AKA trapper hats!!


Have fun this spring and if you need some help then just ask :D

These are just my favorite pieces - so if you want to see the whole collection then please visit HERE!

3 HOTTEST CANDY COLORS for Spring 2011!!!

Bright, sexy, Ooooo so yummy colors - I can just eat these colors upppp! OH-SO-YUMMY BUBBLE GUM PINK, REFRESHING OCEAN TURQ and ORANGE FRENZY! This Spring, color is SOOOOOO important because you can play with styling and cuts, whether fitted or loose or cute, ruffly, with feathers or even fringe - you're good to go as long as you have them in these CANDY COLORS!

poll by twiigs.com

A really strong Trend with these CANDY colors is color blocking - whether its done by pairing a cropped top in lime green and a bubble gum pink fitted skirt as Leona Lewis did on the left or done as the Prada bag right next to it!

Having fun with color is easy! If you don't want to accentuate your body in a full on colored dress as Versace did on the left then you can easily add an accessory like a cute turquoise clutch or a fringed stiletto by Louboutin (or a wedge like the one from Messeca to go for comfort :D)

Orange was always a difficult color for me but I am LOVING the way it is played out here! Feathered stilettos by Mr Dior and a color blocked bag by Marc Jacobs and your a jetsetter for the Spring!

THE THREE F'S - Feathers, F? and F?!

The three F's that are super hot right now! Can you guess what they are? Well the first one is FEATHERS!!!! I will reveal the next 2 in the next couple of days! So stayed tuned and let me know if you can guess them :P
Feathers are sooooo in right now whether its on a dress, a hair accessory or on your lashes!
They have been around for a couple of years and getting stronger by the minute.
Its not your typical tribal feather or something tacky of that sort - these feathers are sleek, sexy and seductive! If you aren't loving the feather coat by Lanvin or the skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier then add some feathers in your accessories - these are inexpensive, subtle and gorgeous!
High end designers have trained the mass to associate feathers with wealth, prosperity and fortune! Feathers are FRIGGIN expensive therefore why did everyone think they were cheap and tacky? Well let me tell you! Feathers have been commonly found on Vegas show girls, flapper girls and raunchy Halloween costumes. The common denominator are that these ladies are not wearing enough clothing, using sex to their advantage and flaunting their disdain for what is commonly considered unacceptable behavior. And there you have it - now put those close-minded concepts away and start flaunting your Feathers!
