A Look at Paris Fashion Week: Haute Couture 2010

July 6th // 2 Comments

Have you ever seen the film The Devil Wears Prada? Think back to the scene where Meryl Streep tells Anne Hathaway that her blue bargain bin sweater is a direct descendant of the cerulean blue featured on the runway. It’s very true – many of the deals and steals I write about here on MyFashionCents are somewhat inspired by the designs that make their way down the catwalk. That said, here are some photos from Paris Fashion Week: Haute Couture 2010.

Giorgio Armani Prive:

Christian Dior:

Bouchra Jarrar:

I see metallics + feminine draping, florals + Alice in Wonderland and clean lines + solid colors.

How do think these couture elements will be adapted for the masses come fall/winter?

Lots of love,

My Best and Worst Picks from the Kid’s Choice Awards

March 29th // 1 Comment

Here are my fashion picks from the red… I mean, orange! carpet from this weekend’s Kid’s Choice Awards:

Best Dressed

Nikki Reed Kids Choice AwardsSelena Gomez Kids Choice Awards

Nikki Reed and Selena Gomez looked fresh and young in this spring’s trends – they were all about the flowing fabrics, florals and and pretty colors. And on a beauty note, I am in love with Selena’s side braid! That hairstyle was all over the runways.

Worst Dressed

Katy Perry Kids Choice AwardsTyra Banks Kids Choice Awards

This is not the first time Katy Perry has made my Worst Dressed list. I feel as though the bottom half of her dress (can I even call that a dress?) had a very awkward cut. Also, I am not really a fan of the length of her bangs! They are too short. As for Tyra Banks, it looks like she stopped at the Kid’s Choice Awards on the way to a meeting! She looked all business, not fun enough for this type of event… and the color combo is awful.

Thoughts??

Styling Tip: How to Temper a Floral Print like Jessica Biel

March 18th // Comment Here

As one of the leading trends this spring, floral prints are pure sweetness. To make them seem edgier and more modern, simply juxtapose them with tougher, neutral pieces, like actress Jessica Biel has done here. A crisply tailored jacket or sharp boyfriend blazer and glamazon heels magically turn a feminine, flowery dress into something super-chic.

Weekly Top 5 Deals: Florals for Under $100

January 29th // 1 Comment

I apologize to everyone who has to leave the warmth of Florida after this weekend’s World Conference! I heard on the weather channel snow, snow and more snow! Since hiding under the covers is not a viable option (at least for long periods of time!) when the cold front sets in, try for another, more cheerful option: flowers – and lots of them. Floral printed dresses, tops, blazers, even shoes are a happy reminder that spring (and warm weather) is right around the corner! Here are some choice blooms sure to cheer you right up…
