Spoon with Fashion

I was at the H&M in Philadelphia that sold the Marni collection and let me tell you it was organized but sold quickly. The pieces as I said before were amazing especially the accessories. I, like most American consumers assumed that pieces would be left over due to the fact of such a lack of knowledge of Marni in the states. It isn't exactly a house hold name in the states like Versace , Coach , or LV. I suppose though due to smart advertising, blogs, and true art/fashion divas the line sold out at least most of the women's items did in just a few hours.I have mixed feelings because it is great the the designs of Marni are being recognized in the states, but sad because they only had limited stock of it. Alas, I like most will be praying and looking forward to the returns of some items made by those who looked at their credit card bill, or those who just realized the style was too over the top then originally thought! A girl can only hope!

My picks for Best Dressed at the Golden Globes!

Male

Brad Pitt- Looked amazing in his three-piece suit, not quite tuxedo but the lapel on his jacket was sharp! I know his hair was long but he never looked better he looked amazing and very youthful!

Ricky Gervais- On the red carpet, that burgundy ensemble was very spring styled with its retro styled flair. It was the right step out side the usual menswear box!

Andy Serkis- The suit was very clean yet modern I like the simplicity.

Chris Colfer- Is just as fashionable in real life as he is on Glee.

Matthew Morrison- Really worked the bow tie, and the grey suit.

Female

Sofia Vergara- The navy blue fitted bodice with the mermaid like flair at the bottom was very complimentary to her sexy figure. A classy yet seductive look for the award show. I also like the texture in her dress it was very pretty and feminine.

Amanda Peet- The dress was just beautiful, tiered Grecian with a delicate white lace by the look of it. Amanda looked comfortable but pretty. The up and pulled back hair do worked very well with her dress.

Emma Stone- I love everything about her look from the hair to the accessories. The whole look was on point in fit to fashion.

Helen Mirren- Helen might be older but she looks beautiful. I loved the navy matched with silver very classic.

Kate Winslet- The black and white color was nice fitting as well as a nice color choice your her.

Maya Rudolph- I loved the fifties style of the dress and the cool animal print in the black. A fun yet appropriate dress.

Rewind for the Wardrobe

2012-01-10T05:20:00.000-05:00

Depending on your age, browsing in any apparel stores now feels as if your Doctor Who traveling in time. The crazy part is that it's not one specific time but instead an opus or hodge podge of the past styles, trends, color stories, etc. In my personal observation I am seeing trends from era's such as the 50's, 60's, 70's and 90's. Fashion wise these decades all have those specific elements in fashion history that has become a staple or a well remembered fad. Currently though their are certain aspects I have found to be pulled from these decades that are going to be hot for spring. The key thing though is to make the look your own be creative with it!

The 50's
I am seeing A-line skirts, women's separates or suits, and synched waists by usage of belts. Emphasis on hour glass shape. Red/Coral lipstick, Pin up hair style.

The 60's
Bright colors, color blocking, the cape, shift dresses, platform shoes, geometric costume jewelry. Bangs for hair

The 70's
Make -up with cool tones focus on the eyes, Long smooth tresses for hair, long skirts and dresses, Native/tribal prints, high waist pants, wide brim hats, artisan jewelry.

The 90's
Bed head hair, neutral makeup with a bold lip, denim, floral print, skinny fit pant, body hugging dresses, plaid, loose fit "boyfriend", blazers
