MISSONI Home

I am devoting my weekend to spring cleaning, therefore I have been browsing magazines & blogs for some inspiration.

I came across the MISSONI Home collection, the colors + patterns = inspiring! 

SPOTLIGHT: Stella McCartney SS2010

I am a huge fan of Stella’s work and basically - just her as a person.  She is an eco-chic designer conscious of how her work impacts the environment. Along with her brilliant creativity, she has many successes in her high fashion clothing line, sportswear for ADIDAS and her children line for the GAP.

Well, Stella McCartney has done it again.  Her Spring/Summer 2010 collection is hands down my favorite for this spring.  McCartney mixes floral prints with ruffles and symmetry cuts to show off the shoulders in brilliant colors.

I WANT this dress in my closet...

If I did I probably would wear it every day because it looks so comfortable, free flowing and fun! 

Can’t get enough of Stella either? Well have no fear she is launching her SS2010 eye-wear collection next month.

Prices range from $180-$250; available on net-a-porter.com. Here are a couple of my favorite styles from the collection.

What do you think? Has Stella done it again?

Madonna to launch Juniors' Line at Macy's

All my tween readers get excited because the rumors are true! Madonna is expected to launch a Lourdes-inspired junior's line at Macy's, as well as create her own fragrance.

The juniors' line is expected to be heavily influenced by her daughter's, Lourdes, style. Lourdes is just as hands-on with this line as her mother. The line is expected to launch in September - just in time for Back-to-School season. The collection will range from apparel, footwear, handbags and jewelry. Prices will range from $10 to $40.

So what do you think about this Mom/Daughter collaboration? I love it. I just hope it doesn't get caught up producing mass marketed crap. However, I have faith in our Material Girl.

Tuesday's Trend Report: The Jumpsuit

Who would've thought that something that was considered a big DON'T not too long ago is now a huge trend.

Of course, that is because designers have taken a new twist on the jumpsuit. Instead of skin tight denim rompers (with the matching belt - don't act like you don't remember!), the jumpsuits of today consist of loose and flowing fabrics.

I am absolutely adoring this trend and have a feeling I will be spending most of the spring & summer in a jumpsuit or romper. It's such a chic look that can be pulled off effortlessly. Find a chic jumpsuit or romper that compliments your body type, killer heels, maybe throw in a fabulous belt and you're good to go! Another plus, this look can go from day to night.

As I always say with trends, try the inexpensive options first. Then if you think this is going to be a look that you will sport for awhile then invest in a nicer brand.

To start I have found a romper and jumpsuit at Forever 21...

 

  

Top Shop offers a variety of colors for a bit more ($80).

 

So how do you feel about this trend? Are you going to give it a shot?
