Romantic Summer Style 2011

Carol | Must Haves, Summer Fashion, Swimsuits, What's ON now | Monday, 28 March 2011

Yeah, Summer is almost here !!!  And you all know what that means, huh?  We're gonna get to enjoy the warm fun weather we love, finally. Get the chance to wear as little as possible, always glamourous but, showing some skin too. It's fabulous !!

In my opinion is the best season of all. People is happier, we've got one more hour so isn't as dark as it use to be during winter, people get out more, enjoy the terraces... what's not to love?

And of course with summer, bikinis, swimsuits, trikinis ... you name it are back again!!! Thank God!!!

I can't wait for those long days at the beach OR the pool, taning and "chillaxing" .... yeah, that's right, chilling and relaxing at the same time. LOL

So, that's one of the bikinis you'll see around. That one in particular is from a spanish designer, Guillermina Baeza. The flowery print that's been already on the catwalk will be all over the place this season. A truly romantic trend that will make the guys melt once they spot you wearing it for sure.

Take a look at the one i choose and tell me if I'm wrong? :p

Dolce&Gabanna

Sexy, Romantic, chic ... you won't miss it !!!

Few Spring/Summer Fabs!

Here are "few spring/summer fabs" designer outfits that I wanna share with all of you. As you can see, I'm a fashion lover like you are but, I mostly write about stuff I like or point out some styles, from time to time, that I think you will be interested in. Mostly whatever catches my eye on the spot !!! So, I hope you like this few pics from several and, very very talented worldwide well-known fashion icons that we're extremely fortunate to have around ...

As I was saying ... my favorites for today's post are among many other designers or fashion emporiums the following> For instance, D&G, Ralph Lauren, Paul & Joe, Dsquared2, also Blumarine, Gianfranco Ferre, Versace, Elie Tahari, Michael Kors, and Monique Lhuillier, Victoria Beckham, Balmain or Elie Saab just to name a few and, to make it somewhat more interesting. However, are still many other big names out there that I do enjoy as well and follow and, of course, that i like  but  I think you're gonna really really be amused by this ones and not get too "OTL" by having too much info. IF that's the case, however, just get an aspirin for the headache, it works all the time!!! LOL

Anyway, first of all, I wanna introduce them to you, little by little, one by one, by sharing their art in movement and amazing work from the main three different runway shows*Spring/Summer coll. 2011 that took place in Milano, Paris and NY, on my own funny way, that I'm pretty sure are gonna blow you away. Or that's what I hope for! Maybe we can even share the same taste in fashion or maybe you'll get to know what else is there right now and, more important, make it your own. Who knows! Whatever you do, if you know you're been mischievous just make sure nobody is looking ... be naughty for once, that won't kill ya ! LOL

Whatever it is I hope you enjoy it. That's my main goal over here !!!! :p and if you like it or have the same interest or taste or else you can always put a comment. A real one, c'mon !!!!!

So, with no further delate I'd like to say that in my opinion, most of the ones I'm talking about are classic, something that is pretty simple but that works for everyone, every season; others very daring  and sexy and, some others are just as chic as it can be. So, by that we can all admit that the Casual-Chic style is the one that won't ever go wrong !!!! Love it !!!!

First I think that D&G are very fresh and sassy, they choose white, as their main color palette, and as their main Summer color. They also mix patterns, mixing it with romantic designs  and, for spring and for the "flower-Power-lovers" this flowery print is everywhere! Denim rocks as usual and they use it well.

Ralph Lauren is the ultimate modern/Classic out there but always gorgeous !!!! One of my favorites without a doubt 'cause you can always wear any piece they produce; always comes back one way or another. Clean Cut, some sparkle, Wild Wild West inspiration ... and the use of foulards that are so in this season and, great for any occasion!!! I'm addicted to them and they go with everything !!!! Also that dress is fabulous!!! :)

Paul & Joe, gets you there by being casual but, also romantic using neutral colors mostly that are in tune with any personality type. They bring back the asymetrical tops and that urban style we all got inside of us... NEAT!!!

Dsquared2 Rocks!!! What they do bring to the table is basically originality. I like the mix of a bit of this and a bit of that, the hats and the sunglasses are a plus. It's Fun !! like saying ... yeah, i'm here, what's up!

This two outfits are just awesome !!!!

Bluemarine is bold !!! reinventing itself again and again, always going one extra mile. Thus, recreating itself on the Famous Animal Print, so cool and wild, not for everyone! but Daring to all. I like this two different models of that pattern that I also like but i'm afraid to use just in case I look like I, myself, scape from the zoo or something! LOL -------   we'll c...

Another tremendous designer is Gianfranco Ferre. Absolutely classic, totally chic, all black. True elegance at its max and such alluring... simply perfect for everyday wear. He thinks about women silhouette and shows how it should be done. I think it's Pretty, I think it's Hot and, I think it's On!!!

Versace extravaganza!!! Here it comes again ... Sassy and sexier than ever; that's the way the Versace emporium always performs. Even though, that pic is not revealing as much, Versace rules the runway every time, what can you do? they're sugar, spice and ... (you can fill the blank yourself !! ) use your imagination... ;) But never forget that whatever they do they do it with class. Look it up! Black and Gold it never look that neat before!

A surprising new name to add to my fashion icons favorites' List is... wait for it.... ELIE TAHARI !! Amazing work, urban style, simplicity yet soothing designs ... all works out the way its suppose to!!! I like the return to the 70's with High waist denim pants and shirt, the sunglasse are to die for and, the total look says i'm tough, or heavy or even bad ass on the outside; softy on the inside but, cool and always perfect! The other outfit is very cute and sparkly and laid back ... It's without a doubt one of my TOP TOP FAVORITES OF ALL OF THEM!!!! Sexy on its own way !!! Covet it like me !!

MK - Do you remember or even know what those initials mean? Yeah, it's Michael Kors !!!! The most dynamic and yet casual chic out there. Moreover, one of the most famous, in my opinion as well, 'cause he does appear on Heidi klum's great runway show as a judge. His technique is amazing. He's skillful and I adore him and his work. Great designer and even greater creations!! I really like the way he plays with color, adds paillettes to make us shine and magnificence to his new concepts. Revealing the power of good taste, exquisite talent and full creativity. MK is a winner!!! - Place your bet!

What can I say about her? she seems like she has been touch by a star.... She's unique, perfect, and shows how far you can go if you have what it takes and MOST IMPORTANT you believe in yourself! It's MoniqueL'huillier . She has it. It's like magic ... and no wonder she's the celebrity stylish or designer of the moment! And here it's why. It's dreamy, like when a ballerina is performing on stage ... or a very neat princess gown. Either way I love it too!!!

And now, one name that is very familiar to you but that you never thought she could pull it off in such a wonderful way. We all know she is a fashion victim and, she does have great style and all but, now she plans on going big, even bigger than before (and i'm not talking about the way she looks now) but by something different by taking risk with style as I guess she is a bit fed up of spending like crazy and want to just sell it like it !!! I'm talking about Vicky Beckham !!! one surprise after another ...  but this time and with that outfit she does a good job. Well done V !!!! :p

Moreover, it looks nice nice, it's elegant, simple, in nude color that is what's on now and very sophisticated. It's like ... EFFORTLESS ANCIENT GODDESS! Cool !!!!

And, here we go with Balmain. This House of Design is parting like a rockstar or at least it gets its inspiration from them. Something that is super cool and all over the place. I like the leather jackets the most. But those pants are freaky fun; so 80's that keeps on going 'cause the 80's did Rock, BIG TIME !!!

A scruffy look that's to die for too !!! Karmen Kass works it !!!

Thus, saving the best for last i gotta mention Elie Saab. He knows women the best. He is FASHION personify. He's just who he is 'cause talent like that needs to be shown & share to the world!!! The textures he uses are only the best. No wonder he's on Top; going strong. I like that designer in particular 'cause seems like doesn't go wrong, it's no chance for that !!! And he designs just beautiful gowns that many others only dream off. Also knows how to be casual but keep surprising us with his uniqueness. He's the one! The Golden Neddle of our time... you gotta love it !!
