Feel as Celebrities

When you think to buy a new dress, i`m not sure if the world “pretty” would describe this Marc Bouwer Glamit. First of all the Blueberry multicolor floral print is soothing and a pleasant sight to see. Second, it’s also designed with sweetheart neckline and halter straps tie behind neck. The price for Silk Floral Gown is 725$, I can’t wait to get my hands on this one.

Valentino is among the world’s most famous haute couture designers, known for stunning gowns that can be seen at red carpet events, black tie galas and high society soirees. The Color-Block Gown is a fresh and flirty piece, from the Spring 2008 collection. Made in Italy, of pure crepe silk, this strapless dress has an empire waist and flowy layers of pink purple and yellow. Bergdorf Goodman is among the many high end stores worldwide that carries Valentino couture, the Color Block Gown retails for $8,780 available at bergdorfgoodman.com

So many C and D list celebs turned up in their sexiest, attention grabbing, outfits for Details Magazine’s Mavericks 2008 Cocktail Party last Thursday.

My best dressed of the night was actress January Jones who looked stylish for Spring in a volumous, high-waisted, floral navy skirt teamed with a classic white vest and white peep toes. So chic!

The queen of curves Kim Kardashian wore another figure hugging dress but I like this strapless, gold one more than her usual ones as it’s more structured and holds her in nicely! Luckily she kept everything else simple with a black clutch and black peep toes which stopped the gold from looking cheap.

Wearing an acid yellow one strap dress, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon hit two key Spring trends and looked great! What is that hairstyle about though? You can’t wear a sexy, grown-up mini dress with little girl bunches in your hair! Ridiculous!

Also looking lovely was Miss Guided’s Brooke Burns in a strapless navy mini dress and trendy bold yellow clutch bag.

The L Word and Life star Sarah Shahi wore the most popular YSL Spring 2008 dress as already seen on Rihanna, Julianne Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow! Personally I don’t understand the fuss with this dress. It’s not very flattering and it’s sooooo boring! Why are so many celebs wearing it? Having said that, Sarah improved the dress slightly by breaking it up with a black waist belt so she gets points for that.

And finally is Maria Menounos wearing a chiffon latte coloured mini dress with black trim around the neck and black tights to match

After a particularly long and snow-filled winter that has left everyone doubting the existence of global warming, it is a relief to see bright color bursting forth on the runways, sweeping into retail outlets and breezing down the streets like a high pressure system moving in from Paris, New York and Milan.

The Vernal Equinox marks the advent of everything Spring, and this season the forecast is filled with dazzling greens, brilliant purples and vivid yellows.  Never before has the fashion climate looked so colourful.

The best thing about this trend is that it looks good on absolutely everyone; it’s just a matter of choosing the right styles and shades to complement your body type and skin tone.

So this spring, improve the air quality of your closet by investing in a few vivaciously coloured pieces that will heat up your wardrobe and contribute to a global style-warming.

Here are some examples of how my favourite designers are embracing this fashion warm-front with colour:

1.  An Aurora Borealis of vibrant colour on the Spring 2008 Versace runway

2.  The Humidex is on the rise at Gucci with this bright yellow ready- to-wear top

3.  A jet stream of jet setters in effervescent colours at Michael Kors

4.  ‘Ultra Violet’ takes on new meaning at the House of Dior

Easter hats, Easter shoes, Easter pastel colors. Think soft pink, light greens, lemon yellows, basically this is the start to the Spring color palette introduction. For fabrics think chiffon, tulle, and especially cotton. Still stuck in the cold weather for Easter? Throw a cute cardigan over your dress or tough it out. It’s Easter, you have to dress up!
