The Best Looks

A new year has begun and like always a new year brings new fashion. So, what's in store for 2011?

Thanks to my good friend and 'stylist to the stars' whom is based in La-La Land (Los Angeles), I am able to hook you up with very informed knowledge and ideas about the coming trends for 2011.

This time round I am going to try something new. Instead of blabbing on about what's hot and what's not I am going to show you pictures of different scenes that influence this years biggest trends.
I hope that this will allow you to creatively design your own look and style.



Think feminine, soft and lingerie. This looks main influence is the notion of 'memories' and is best achieved with silks, fine cottons and blends. It's the audacious accents and subtle featherweight effects that are the key to this look.
  



Think about the passion the colours evoke, folk music, cartoons and patchwork fashion. This look is all about celebrating what every-day life is about. This look is based on strong lines and is best achieved by utilising amusing creativity, mixes of ethnic and otherworld fashions, strong femininity. Good accessories to assist are hats, scarves and necklaces with foreign appeal. Think 'happiness'.




Think exotic nature meets dessert sands. It's glamorous and effortless with a real loungewear effect. Easily achieved by sticking with cotton and very neutral tones. Kaftan's, dry knits and charming linens are the key to achieving this look. Perfect for the beach, worn well by men in Malibu.
 



Think sexy. This is a feminine look with edge and is very easy to achieve. Garments can be flowy and cheeky. It is OK to incorporate dramatic gestures like rock luxe and theatrical couture - in fact - it's very welcomed. This can be a very glamorous look if worn correctly. Cheap and nasty if worn incorrectly. To vamp this look up and take it to the next level consider lace undergarments, black, burlesque, lace stay up stockings and glamorous yet effortless fitted dresses. This look personally reminds me of old Hollywood glamour.
