Aice In Wonderland

There is agreat secret in all British fairy tales, people always want to make them come true. Sometimes we need to seize an opportunity and fall down a rabbit hole into a Fantasy World! Sometimes we need a little experiment, we want a little passion and magic in our workaday life.
Watch the fashion shapes that fashion designers suggest us this season:







Fashion Trend 2011

Lace is very womanly  and it never really goes out of fashion, as lace clothing can be found among chain- store clothing rails throughout the year. Lace will become a popular fashion, and featured in many clothing shopes. When it's not so popular, lace becomes a classic and still remains in the fashion market.

Lace clothing gives a chic look, and can look beautiful without exertion.`But there's a few risks in wearing lace clothing, for example you can look too Gothic.

How you should wear lace.
You should avoid wearing jewelery with lace, as this will probably look over the top. Wear it with minimum jewelery. If you choose wearing lace wear it with stud earrings, or a gold bangle. Pearls are not good with lace.

Go for fine lace, rather than large chunky patterns. On the subject of hems, another one to avoid is a jagged, uneven cut. Medieval like fashion looks very silly on most people!

Never wear white stockings, unless your going to a dress-up party! Black lace stockings are hot with skirts in winter, but don't ever wear them with a denim skirt. Denim skirt plus black lace stockings is running the risk of looking trailer-trash. Avoid bright coloured skirts too. Black stockings will always go best with a black skirt. If your wear black stockings with a black skirt, go for a different coloured top, to avoid looking Gothic.

Lace panels on clothing is a good alternative to full lace garments.

If a clothing item is made completely of lace, wear it down with simple clothing. Plain, bold colours are good, all colours go with black, but brown. It's not really a good look to wear lace with clothing that is patterned or printed.

Be careful about wearing denim with lace. A garment with minimal lace, and particularly white lace, goes great with denim. But don't take it any further, like wearing a top made of completely lace, with a pair of jeans. It's a sort of stereotypical look, that doesn't look that nice.


All White Fashion Trend 2011

Minimalism and immaculacy doesn't cease to impress designers over and over again, this way fueling the reputation of the all white fashion trend. The Spring & Summer 2011 all white fashion trend hypnotizes the public with its blinding and at the same time heart-warming visual impression. Those who would like to enjoy the summer breeze early in the next season should definitely take a closer peek at the outfit ideas provided by the most valued and spectacular designer collections of this Spring & Summer 2011.

So forget about "practicalness" and step over "it is too festive". White color doesn't need any accessory, it is very fresh and festive color.
Let's begin with white blouses. Having a couple of white shirts or blouses in your wardrobe you can combine them with pants, shorts, long skirts and pencil skirts.

Perfect Pair: White + Fretwork

Fretwork, latticework, trellis... call it what you want, but this look is HOT.  Starting centuries ago in the 'Far East,' migrating to the 'West' through Chippendale and working it's way up to modern day via Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis fabric, fretwork isn't going anywhere soon.  The best way to update this motif for your contemporary home?  Pair it with some white glossy paint... and maybe a metallic accent here or there...
Words cannot describe how much I adore these cabinets!

Diary of a NYC Fashion Intern: Merchandise the Mannequins!

How is your summer getting along darlings? I must say Summer in New York City is positively smashing, between the Alexander McQueen Exhibit at The Met and Shakespeare in the Park to Brunch at Balthazar how is a girl to choose? Fortunately, NYC is always going and so is the work. As my days as an NYC Fashion Intern come to a close I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peak at the bottom of the ladder. 

But sometimes a fashion intern gets a chance to be a bit creative... merchandising the mannequins!


 I did some merchandising for the boutique downstairs. 
From glam rock to pretty princess, it's always fun to dress up the windows!




This was a white dress, that is now modeled on a guitar stand with...
Yeah, studded chucks...nuff said. 


I could not be more in love with this petticoat tutu skirt!


So what are your thoughts on my merchandising skills, not half bad huh?! Too bad its a totally different direction from marketing, it would be a fun side job to merchandise the mannequins all over NYC. Maybe in another life, but this one includes being a NYC Fashion Intern which isn't half bad either :)
