Jeans is one of the most fashionable items to wear of all time found in every wardrobe. We can choose from dozens of different styles, and jeans can match every occasion.

Jeggings are latest in the jeans fashion. Born in last spring the clothing piece comes from merging jeans and leggings and are combined with  tanks and sweater dresses thins fall as well. Extremely tight jeans never go out of fashion so I think pair of very good jeggings is a good investment in your wardrobe.

High waisted jeans are one of the most popular styles around this season. High waist isn’t a novelty on a fashion scene, it is a comeback of high waisted jeans as they are featured in all the fashion shows for fall and winter 2010. Style of them is simple and high waist gives a slim look to a silhouette.

Patched denim is brought to runways by Chanel, Chloe and Lagerfeld for the Spring 2010 and now is widely sold in retail stores. There are plenty ideas to create own stylish outlook combining different colors and fabrics which gives a funky look.

researching what is happening for Fall 2010 I found few really nice ladies knitwear designs in designer’s collections.

Gray and cream are number ones this year. So the other pastel colors and also black.

All the pieces are stylish and functional in all variety knitewear has to offer – sweater dresses, cardigans, scarves, ponchos, tank tops, tshirts and sweaters. Especially scarves and wraps are so rich in texture, long, oversized and heavily ruffled to add dramatic look to the outfit.

The theme for this Fall is blended yarns of more than one fiber in fascinating executions – wool, silk, cashmere, bison. It is a full range of textures and weights in knits to have all possible patterns – chunky, hairlike or deconstructed.  Everything is comfy and warm looking.

From one-shoulder short summer playsuits to full length ones playsuits look great this season day and night. Here are my favorite playsuits trends for summer 2010:

1. Denim playsuit

Makes the look vintage especially acid wash pieces, light cotton wear for hot summer day. With gladiators and classy belt looks so chic.

2. Ruffled playsuit

Ruffle neckline or ruffle shorts makes the look very sexy and romantic. To keep finger on fashion pulse choose one-shoulder with layered ruffle accents.

3. Dots and Stripes

Dotted or striped playsuits are perfect for quirky retro day look or beach holiday with casual 50s playfulness. Color palette varies from cream to red, black’n’’white and navy.

4. SILK!!!!

Looks simple but silk is what makes it looking boutique.  Adding same lace will transform the look into so trendy ‘’underwear as outwear’’ style.

5. Animal or floral prints

To have fabulous and flash look wear full length playsuits with animal or floral print all over. Worn with high heels this is the perfect night time outfit.

Aren’t playsuits a brilliant invention?

Add some flounce to your summer party. Ruffles was one of the main fall 2009/winter 2010 fashion trends, but  looks like ruffle party dresses are here to stay and are in vogue this summer too.

Ruffles make outfit look alluring and soft feminine. Designers play with ruffled details in cocktail dresses this season making the look different giving us plenty of options.  Even very elegant LBD is transformed to a new chic with some ruffle detail.

Short one-shoulder cocktail dresses with diagonal neckline featuring diagonal tiered wide ruffles are the winner of the season that makes the look stunning.

Strapless party dresses with ruffled bottoms are flirty and is totally Carrie Bradshaw style.

There are also colorful and printed dresses with some ruffle details on sleeves or on bottom to make your dress look very glamorous.

To complete the look wear super sexy high heel and ascetic accessories not to have look like trying too hard

Still looking for the latest new hairstyle? Here are top hairstyle trends and some celebrity pics for your inspiration to experiment or update your hair style.

 The Bob

Precision cut bobs are still top hairstyle this summer. Classic straight bob cut initially came up around 1920 and brought a lot of variations these days. The length ranges from ear level to shoulder-length sleek bobs according to what fits facial and hair structure best.  

To give volume hair products are very important, but I think to get a super sleek straight bob hair straightening with hair straighteners is essential. And use a shine spray to give a healthy and a mirror-like shine.

Don’t think your bob always has to look the same. What I do like especially about shoulder-length bobs is that they are easy to change. If you get bored with traditional side-parted bob you can try bangs. Also a straight bob is easy to make slightly wavy or curled out which is also possible with ghd straighteners .

And look in how many variations is Norma Ruiz styling her bob. There is perfectly framed straight bob and bob that is curled out and finally also a messy top updo which is one of the hottest hair trends of 2010 and what’s important – no need to change haircut.

Long and wavy hair

Long hair look gorgeous at all times, but in 2010 keep in mind – your waves should look as natural as possible! Either you have heavy layering, or some layers around the face they have to look effortlessly made or even tousled look. 

Remember again that loose curls are very easy to make with straightener and you don’t need curlers. Also ghd offers an online tool where you can make sure that you are buying a genuine ghd styler and are not ripped off with fake ghd stylers from counterfeit sellers. 

Long wavy hair with multiple layers is a very popular trend among celebrities. There are texture variations from gentle locks to explicit curls.

Rain boots are not only practical, but are also so fun and stylish – no need to wait for the rainbow.

 HUNTER

 Their website says that The Hunter Regent symbolizes fashion, style, comfort and will turn heads in town, city or country. The boots are classic and tall, but the choice of colors is soooo wide! What I especially like is their high gloss finish.

FESSURA

Fessura is one of Italy’s premiere brands and winner of the 2008 White Award for Best Design of the Year at the Micam show in Milan. Offering patented technology and fresh new designs, Fessura makes innovative footwear. Fessura boots are simply perfect with a pair of striped socks.

 BURBERRY

Not a huge selection, but the few that is offered are made in Italy, very attractive and in a Haymarket Check pattern. The signature Nova Check print boots also feature scarlet painted hearts.

Barcelona Bridal Week is presenting the best selection of international designers of bridal dresses for 20 years and is the international leader in bridal fashion. Names include Pronovias, Rosa Clara, Raimon Bundo, Franc Sarabia, Pepe Botello, Francis Montesinos,  and Lee Seung Jin.

Karl Lagerfeld continues collaboration with Vanessa Paradis who is face of the new Chanel Coco Cocoon bag collection and also is face of current ads for Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick.

 The line includes handbags, travel bags, and small leather goods made from nylon and lambskin on most of the bags which have a puffy finish. The Coco Cocoon collection will be in stores May 15. If you have a registered email address with Chanel online store, you can access the website and be the first to own a piece.

Accessories take centre stage again this season as women apart from following latest fashion trends want to express their individuality. This is my roundup for season’s best accessories from headbands to bags and sandals.

 Sunglasses

Madonna, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana following up their obviously successful cooperation for Spring 2010 Ad campaign   have brought their friendship to the next level by introducing a collection of sunglasses that will go on sale at Dolce & Gabbana stores in May. Look for sunglasses with star-studded logo MDG emblazoning the earpiece

Jewellery

Most bracelets, earrings and necklaces this season come in bold colors and sprints. From electric blue, yellow, pink, red and orange, accessories come in so many different styles and shapes making it easy to mach them for every style and occasion. Also multicoloured cuff bracelet will transform your day looks. Lanvin necklace with a large red Swarovski crystal strawberry pendant with green, red and purple crystal embellishment will be the perfect accent for your cocktail dresses.

Grey, black, white and silver accessories improve everyone’s performance and give the right amount of sparkle. Embellish a cool daytime look with silver-tone jewellery.  

Watches

Bright coloured, menswear influenced and sporty styles are the trends for women watches in Spring/Summer 2010. A brilliant pop of colour is a great way to stand out in the crowd wearing a stylish watch. Futuristic designs are mixed with innovative materials like plastic, rubber or silicon. Orange Invicta timepiece is fashioned in corian which is thermosetting plastic and make it look as a  toy watch.  Arrive fashionably on time with your new this vibrant timepiece!

Oversized bow headbands come in many styles and forms in 2010. From runways and shoots for 2010 fashion trends headbands take a quirky turn with new micro-trend –  Mickey Mouse or bunny ears  that are attention grabbing addition to your outlook and lately is also trends on the streets. Colourful and pastel ones, simple and sculptural bow headpieces greet the new season! And remember – hairclips can also be worn as brooch.

Half a year ago designers predicted what world will be wearing this spring bringing their ideas down the runway. Here are few ideas transformed into affordable pieces you can buy on-line at www.very.co.uk

Maxi dresses

Give your look a hint of glamour with Very’s selection of maxi-dresses. They’re a summer essential, morever this season is all about bold and bright prints. With a halter neck tie or strapless tube dresses is is an essential summer piece.

Gladiator sandals

There are also wide selection of other women’s shoes  available at the www.very.co.uk – UGG summer edition boots, shoe boots and gladiator sandals. Gladiator sandals  look great both with casual and dressy styles. Strap yourself into knee high gladiators  for the full-on fashion effect. The gladiator sandals are essential footwear trend for a couple of years already and now there are so many styles available – studded, with full back zips, different colors and materials. Wear them with long dresses, skirts and short shorts.

Little black dress and little white dress

Little black dress is always in style, but with arrivel of spring black is something you want to forget about. This year little white dress is season’s favorite and comes as alternative for little black dress, especially figure shape cocktail dresses. Laconic minimalism, simple, minimum details – that’s the key.

Inwear as outwear

This is probably trend coming back together with 80’s fashion revival because last time shift toward lingerie as outwear was in the 1980s. It emerges a fresh attention to tights and stockings as a feature piece and the corset-on view  in dresses and tops. In different styles this trend can make your look feminine, provocative and sophisticated. Silk, lace and feathers are materials combined for the look and looks best for going out dresses.

Beautiful weather, flowers, sunshine….ahhh, I love springtime!  If you’re planning a wedding in the upcoming months, whether it is indoor and outdoor, there are so many ways to make the day memorable.  Here are some unique, head-to-toe touches you can add to your spring wedding look! 

 
The Hair- Consider your hair type and wedding locale.  If it’s humid, you never want to force your hair to do something it normally doesn’t, so keep it natural and make sure you add anti-frizz serum.  If you are wearing you hair up, add subtle curls with small braids for sweet look.  It’s best to keep it simple and chic to leave room for various headpieces and accessories.  Combinations and retro-inspired pieces are hot this year; think of flowers and feathers, or a birdcage veil.
The Dress- Details in wedding dresses  this season are taken from garden themes with rose coils and floral petals seen in every design.  Pick the right airy fabrics, with sheer organza, tulle, and linens.  Shorter hemlines are very popular this season and perfect for springtime weddings.  They are sweet, up-to-date, and come in various silhouettes.  Whether it’s an A-line tea-length or a body-conscious mini, a short dress will also leave room for various accessories.

The Jewels- Accessorizing always depends on the dress.  If you decided to go with the shorter length gown, having an eye-catching piece is a way to glam up your look.  Pile on layers of small chains and pearls or go for a show-stopping bib-style necklace with a pop of color.
The Shoes- No matter what style dress, it’s important to wear comfortable bridal shoes on your big day, but you don’t have to sacrifice style for support.  A great alternative this year is to add a splash of color to the traditional all-white wedding gown.  Wearing a pair of heels in the shade of your bridesmaid’s dresses, your wedding palette, or just your favorite color is an unexpected touch.  If you’re opting for the short gown, go for an elaborately designed shoe; think bows, feathers, stones, and crystals.

Following the lingerie line launched in H&M stores worldwide for Winter 2009, the new Rykel knitwear collection will hit 250 H&M stores all around the world on February 20. The line includes 100% cotton and 100% wool pieces,  lots of accessories and cheerful colors!

 The worldwide known Jeans brand Diesel launched Be Stupid campaign with explicit message that being stupid is fun. All online, press and outdoor advertisements are composed from ‘’stupid act” scenes and slogans with idea that being stupid, or, in other words not to be afraid express yourself, be spontaneous and follow your heart is the key to your victory and fruition.

To me the ads seem rebellious. So, be stupid!

Harry Potter film star Emma Watson is the face of Burberry ad campaigns for the second season and is called new British icon. Wearing gorgeous Burberry classic trenchcoat and posing with several Burberry bags she looks more grown-up indeed. Anyway, her grecian-style dress is definitely my favorite!
