New York Image Style Report

Who has seen the Dolce and Gabbana collection with stars prints? If you haven’t, it will be only a matter of time to see it in the streets…the “stars” are becoming a fever amongst celebs, last week Jessica Alba and Olivia Wilde were spotted wearing the D&G dresses, and this week was Fergie and Lucy Liu’s turn. Which one you like the most?

It’s not everyday we see Karl Lagerfeld with his sunglasses off! The designer was photographed  in Saint Tropez without his inseparable eyewear…so, what do you think ? Better with sunglasses on?

Black is a color everyone loves to wear. It’s neutral and timeless, perfect if you want to get it right….so here are some tips I found in a fashion blog from Brazil, “Petiscos”, showing how to wear black and be modern at the same time:

• Transparence: You can add a transparent piece of clothe to your look, or even wear a transparent long skirt with a short underneath it to get a modern style.

• Mixing textures: It’s cool to mix shiny pieces with opaque ones, and also mix different fabrics, everything black though.

• Showing legs: Your legs can also appear with a total black look, especially if you have great legs! The must have item is the leather short, perfect to mix with different textures also.

• Accessories: They will get all the attention with a basic look! It can be big totems, high rise boots, sunglasses or big earrings!

• If you want a more elegant look, stick to the classics! Blazers, jackets, the little black dress and dress pants work really well to get this sophisticated look. If you want to add some spice in it, just mess with the hair and make up!

Imagine ballet slippers that already come in high heels…impossible? Well, not for Christian Louboutin. The shoe designer created one that is on tiptoe position, and also has the red sole as part of the charm! Of course it’s not made for a ballerina to actually wear it, since it might not feel comfortable at all. They are a collaboration to benefit the English National Ballet. But what if they were wearable? Do you think would be a good idea to replace the old slippers ?

Sometimes couture fashion straight off the runway can be a little over the top for your day to day activities. Luckily, this fashion week there have been so many great trends that we can wear straight off the cat walk that it is hard to choose a favorite. Starting off the great trends this summer is the trench dress, a twist of the classic trench coat and sheath dress by DKNY. Another fun grab is a hip A-line shape coat in a bright, cheeky color by Michael Kors. If you want to finish off the summer strong with some of these great trends call Amanda today.

Prada’s tile print dresses are a hot item for this summer. They’ve become “best friends” with Holywood stars, appearing in both the red carpet and everyday activities. It’s possible to get the dress a more sophisticated look by adding some amazing heels, as Lea Seydoux and Jennifer Aniston did, or just create a cool/ simple look by wearing a pair of flats, as Jennifer Gardner.

What do you think?

As everyone knows, the royals were in United States for a visit. The Duchess Kate, as usual, looked very elegant during the events. She opted for classic styles with neutral colors, and among her favorites were Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen. I just love how she dresses, so simple but at the same time so stylish!
