EYEWEAR
Leaving behind the days of subtlety, this season takes a 60s spin on eyewear with the revival of round, cat eye, oddly-shaped, and decorated frames.
CHECK OUT: Stella McCartney, Prada, Roberto Cavalli, House of Holland, Carven, Erdem, Marni, Jil Sander, Versace, Anna Sui.
JEWELRY
The rose or “pink” gold trend is in full swing! Seen on chunky bracelets, draping earrings, long multi-layered necklaces and large cocktail rings, rose gold adds a sense of elegance to any ensemble. Complete your look with rose gold in combination with precious and semi-precious stones for a fun pop of color.
The HOT color in jewelry for Spring/Summer 2013 is BLUE. Pairing easily with jeans and a tank top or with an evening ensemble, blue and its hues must find a way into your daily selection of accessories. Don’t pass on the pastels! Pairings of lavender, jade, seafoam chalcedony, and rose quartz keep your style whimsical yet classy.
SHOES
From cool and casual flats to sexy sky-high heels, shoe selection is a crucial part of putting your look together. Need a boost? Wedges are incredibly trendy this season.
DAYTIME: Single Sole Wedges, Colorful Patterns
EVENING: Creamy Neutrals, Metallics or Bright Reds
CHECK OUT: Charlotte Olympia, Prada, Celine, Giuseppe Zanotti.
A spin-off of a classic, Isabel Marant has creatively introduced a hybrid high-top sneaker with a wedge platform.
We continue to see strappy sexy sandals, both heels and flats, with chunky heels, transparent materials, and prints. As seen on the runways of Gucci, Celine, and Alexander McQueen, a sexy sandal in an exotic skin exudes class. Influenced by structure, many designers have also turned to color and/or print blocking in their designs.
CHECK OUT: Pierre Hardy, Giuseppe Zanotti, Prada, Valentino, Stewart Wietzmann, Christian Louboutin.
HANDBAGS
This season, big style comes in small packages with clutches and mini-bags in a fun array of shapes, colors, and sizes dominating the runways. Bright and bold is the way to go and don’t shy away from mixing and matching prints and patterns in in your handbags. Designers like Louis Vuitton and Proenza Schouler have been marrying florals and geometrics, color blocking and intricate construction to create a kaleidoscopic appearance. Moschino went STRIPE CRAZY, and at Guy Laroche and others show the handbag prints even matched the clothes.
Need a little more space? Pick up a big tote in a bright color that will surely liven up any outfit.
Check out: Victoria Beckham, Reed Karkoff, Carolina Herrera, Prada, Missoni, Hermes, Balenciaga, Proenza Schuler, Louis Vuitton, Guy La Roche, Moschino.
