Summer 2012:Colors of Fashion are Ready to Shine

Summer is always a season where the dress comes into its own. This year is no exception, and with wave-inspired chic to feminine drama, soft curves and organic shapes are big news.

Stella McCartney’s new collection goes for a key focus this summer: the sea. One of her most awaited designer dresses, the Crepe De Chine mini-dress, combines an aertex-lace ripple motif and a searing klein blue. The Large Diamond Walsh dress goes for a more vintage feel, with Rococo scrolls and patterned cut-outs. Holiday-fare is represented by joyful ink-blot tropical prints in t-shirt dresses and floor-length maxis. Hot cerise and azure colors dominate.

The influence of the ocean continues at Givenchy, with fish-tail hemlines and shimmering scale-like satins. The Ivory Gaze dress is a blend of chiffon and curvilinear contours, making a boldly feminine statement. The black tulle dress brings a touch of dark glamour with it’s leather detailing and rocky silhouette, and showcases the designer’s emphasis on classic monochromatic tones.

From Alexander McQueen comes fitted pencil skirts and slim silhouettes; the Mother of Pearl jersey and tank dresses follow the trendy blotched effect in a fitted, city-dress style. The designer’s flared mini-dresses echo a candy-cane fifties look that’s begging to be taken to a garden party, while ocelot prints create more unusual cocktail and maxi styles.

It’s easy to find something for every hour of the day this summer. Whether it’s shaped mini-dresses and circle skirts or floor-length evening glamour, the catwalk keeps on delivering.

Hi love buckets! I have some exciting news…

.
My good friend Liz and I have planned a trip to the Dominican Republic at the end of May and we are so honored and excited that the Sisters at Sisters of Schoenstatt in La Victoria, DR have welcomed us to stay with them during our trip.

We hope to bring clothes, shoes, towels, sheets, and other necessities with us to help the nearby families that these Sisters work closely with.

EVERY little bit helps and can make a huge difference in their lives!

Below is a summary of some of the families we hope to visit:

In addition to the needs listed above, NONE of these families have access to soap. I don’t even need to explain how necessary that is, and that is one of the main things we hope to bring with us.

We will bring as much as we can, but more would be better =)

If anyone would like to donate, we have set up a PayPal and 100PERCENT of donations will go directly to purchasing these goods.

Paypal: LaVictoriaOutreach@gmail.com

Also, if you would prefer to donate actual goods (towels and soap are our main focus, but anything you can provide is welcomed), please email LaVictoriaOutreach@gmail.com for the best address to ship the donation to- needless to say, we will ensure it comes with us on our trip.

I’m so grateful for all of you and thank you so much for helping!

XO Kimmy
