Top 5 Street Style Picks from Paris Fashion Week 2013

-->

As much as we all adore to see what designers have in store for us on the runways, I am always excited for what the attendees can do on the streets. Street style is all about fun and playing up with clothing accessories.

I look forward to Paris Fashion Week the most as it is the most chic city of all, of course.

Here are my top 5 street style photographs from Paris 2013.

1. Anna Dello Russo

Miss Anna Dello Russo always pushes the limits with her fashion choices and gives people an exciting reason to love the art of fashion. Here, she is rocking an oversize fedora from Saint Laurent- an essential piece for the upcoming Spring Season.

2.     Giovanna Battaglia

Giovanna Battaglia, editor of L’Uomo Vogue, is another one to dominate the streets of fashion with her distinctive look and style. She is always wearing something fresh. Her oversized and voluminious Rochas coat is simply stunning. It is an eye catching piece that is sure to turn heads.

3.     Veronika Heilbrunner and Justin O'Shea

Veronika, fashion editor for My Theresa, is wearing an Acne Studio jacket. The pair look fierce and chic. She is playing with the stripe trend and paired it perfectly with the black turtleneck underneath.

4. Leandra Medine

Leandra Medine, also known as Man Repeller (top fashion blogger) is one that I always look to for style. She is so effortless and has an edgy look. Leandra is playing it cool with her tuxedo suit underneath the multi-coloured fur jacket.

5.     Miroslava Duma

Lastly, we have the Queen of Street Style and Russian "It" girl, Miroslava Duma. She is a consistent favourite of mine on the streets of fashion. She knows exactly how to put together the most classic outfit, yet in a fun way.

Here, she is wearing a print on print (I love how the handbag is the same print as her jacket). The oversized jewelry is a great way to spice up any outfit.

Top Nail Polish Trends of 2013

If you're like me and insist on keeping your manicure current and trendy, this is one list you're going to want to bookmark for 2013. I've put together the top most wanted nail trends happening right now for all my fashionistas! 

#1.   Holographic nails- Holographic nail polish made an appearance last year, but this year holographic nails are bigger than ever. From Beyonce to Rihanna, everyone has been spotted with 3D holographic nail trend. I recently tried the GOSH brand nail polish in "holographic hero" and it was perfect! Almost every brand has their take on this 3D polish, so browse around and find your favourite!

#2. Geometric Shapes- I’ve been seeing this trend for a while now, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. This trend also allows full creative input on your part. You could do triangles, hearts, squares, stripes or a mixture of these for a tribal look.. it’s entirely up to you. The trick that I’ve read over and over is to use scotch tape to get a perfect, crisp edge when creating your shape.

Check out these geometric nails in some fresh Spring'13 shades! 

#3. Studs and Rhinestones- This trend adds some major drama and va-va-voom to your nails that screams fashionista! My tip would be to keep the studs or rhinestones to one-or-two nails instead of all ten; so then your nails don’t look too overdone.

#4. Prints- There are endless options for this trend.

Animal print, newsprint, floral.. are just a few that

come to mind! You have the option of buying nail appliqués to adhere to your nail (think nail stickers by Sally Hansen), or work free hand if you’re the artsy type. You also need to decide if you have a print on all your nails, or just one. Only having a print on your ring finger seems to be the all-the-rage right now!

#5. Caviar- this trend has been around for a while, but because of its popularity I feel like its here to stay for 2013. This trend looks like little beads all over your nail, and comes in multiple colours and shimmers. You can find caviar nail polish kits at most beauty supply stores like Sephora.

SIX S/S 2011 FASHION TRENDS

By MOsolova DAsha

I can’t speak for everyone but I'm so glad that winter is finally over. I hate cold weather and I absolutely adore spring and summer clothes. In this blog entry I would like to acquaint you with this season’s eight major fashion trends.

1.The most important trend this summer is neon colours. They are bright vivid, expressive and generally fun! They can be worn either day or night. I’m quite aware that some people feel that they can’t pull off bright colors and prefer pastels. But if you are not apprehensive about wearing bold vivid colours then it's a perfect trend for you!

2.The second trend is stripes. My feeling is that stripes are popular every season. This classic trend is timeless and chic. Stripes will never go out of style. You can wear stripes with pretty much everything: jeans, shorts, skirts, you name it.

3. What girl doesn't like lace? It's so flirty, sexy and feminine. It just occurred to me that I’ve used the word feminine too many times in this blog post. In my defense, it seems to be the best word to describe the spring/summer 2011 fashion trends.

4. Floral prints. A lot of girls would be happy to wear floral skirts, shirts, and dresses. It’s romantic and feminine. But be careful so as not to wind up looking like your grandmother.

5. Maxi dresses and maxi skirts. I am so in love this trend - very feminine! I have witnessed a lot of girls sporting this look. And contrary to popular belief, a woman doesn’t need to be tall to carry this look.

6. High waisted pants and shorts. It was big trend a few years ago and it’s making a comeback. I love 70's fashion, it's so sophisticated and classy.
