Fashion Distraction :: Celine Spring 2010

10 February 2010
Spring 2010 Fashion

Phoebe Philo’s debut runway show for Celine was absolutely fantastic. Celine has never been considered a major line, however Philo’s recent collection has the label headed into the limelight.
Philo’s previous work with Stella McCartney at Chloe is ever present in these ultra sleek and modern, yet still quite feminine designs.


The collection was predominantly neutral, consisting of Philo’s favorite colors–black, white, khaki and camel. Day wear for the modern woman was the theme of the day. That’s not to say this collection was ordinary…just very wearable.

Final Thoughts

If you can’t tell, I’m a big fan of this collection. It is so sophisticated, it’s sexy, it’s smart and it’s sleek. I can see myself wearing these pieces. Now, are they in my budget?

Top Spring 2010 Handbag Trends

8 February 2010
Though the cold, wet weather has prevented most of us from jumping head first into Spring 2010 fashion, a great way to begin your Spring wardrobe transformation is by carrying a handbag worthy of the season. Here are the top trends for handbags this Spring.

Neutral Colors

Camel browns, creams and even earthy pastels are perfect for Spring.

White

While it’s always a popular color for Spring handbags, white is particularly popular this Spring. In fact, if you get one handbag this Spring, go for a white one.

Crossbody

Though super practical, this style has never been very stylish. It’s not the way you wear this purse that has kept it from being stylish; it’s just that designers were not making attractive crossbody purses until now.

Satchel

Satchels are the predominant style this Spring. Find an oversized satchel in one of the season’s top colors and you can’t go wrong.

Metallic Hardware

Studs, chains, exposed zippers and other metallic embellishments are making even neutral colored bags look rocker-chic.

Boots for Spring

3 February 2010
Think boots are just a necessity for your Fall/Winter wardrobe? Think again!


Boots are an essential addition to your Spring wardrobe. Not only are Spring boot styles super cute this season, they’re also a great way to transition your look from Winter to Spring.


Here are a few of the hottest boots this Spring.

Boots for Spring 2010

This Spring, stash your thigh high black leather boots and go for a lighter, softer pair in grey or camel suede.

Ankle

Wear your ankle boots with a Spring dress and tights. Or, as the temperatures rise, ditch the tights. For more on how to wear ankle boots, check out this post.

Cowboy

Cowboy boots were big last Fall, but they are bigger than ever this Spring. At most stores, they top the list of Spring arrivals and are available in a variety of heights, styles and colors. Wear your cowboy boots with leggings, a dress or skinny jeans. For more on how to wear cowboy boots, check out this post.

Lace Up

Kind of a new trend this Spring, the lace up boot is an interesting way to mix your boot wearing habits up a bit. Lace up boots can be super feminine or somewhat androgynous. Depending on the style you find, you can wear them with shorts, dresses, leggings or skinny jeans.

Thoughts?

I’m definitely craving a pair of grey suede ankle boots, I’ll for sure be wearing my cowboy boots and that first pair of lace up boots has ‘Crystal’ written all over it.
What do you think? Will you be wearing boots this Spring?
