Feelin' a bit springy!

Neiman Marcus and In Style magazine have a great list of Spring season trends. The list includes: gladiator sandals, ruffles top, embellished accessories (footwears & handbags), animal skin handbags, colourful cardigans, graphic prints, pink (think floral), carryalls, and one-shoulder dressing.

The gladiator sandals, well, those are strictly for skinny legs peeps, y'all. Those with oversize, wide feet and chubby ankle, like me - don't not try this trend. The straps to these sandals is very unforgiving to your feet and legs. But, just because one can't have one, one can always adore it. I definitely love Manolo Blahniks - have a look:



I most definitely adore ruffles this season. It gives you that very romantic and delicate look. Wear it with a very simple cardigan or a round neck, collarless jacket a'la Chanel-like, and you're good to go - very regal. Do not over top your ruffles with prints, it will decreased the romantic aura.

Well, you've seen the embellished trend already like a couple years back. Frankly, not a big fan of it for this season. Too much embellishment will make you look like you're from Las Vegas. Strictly in minimal. Note taken: Prada.

I have no idea why on earth these labels like Burberry and Prada is coming out with animal skin handbags during this economic downturn. These bags that are made from snakeskin or alligator skin, usually cost a fortune. But, like Eva Longoria said of her pink Hermes' bag, these types of bags are the kind of assets you put in your death will. Pass down to generations. But, now is not the right time to blow 15,000 to 30,000 ringgos on luxury bags. So, we kids that are not working, YET! will settled on faux alligator and snakeskin bags. BUT, there's no harm in looking and admiring the luscious and grand bags. LOVE the ones from Burberry.

I adore graphics prints now. Last time, it was a no-no for curvy gals, but, this time, they incorporated different prints and in different colours together. So young and so fresh! Example shown by Marc by Marc Jacobs.



Most of my fellow friends know that I'm a cardigan-wearing-kind-of-gal. Not really ashamed to admit I have tons. So, you can figure my excitement when they are coming out with various spring colours of cardigans this time. Truly adore it. Gotta keep it proper and simple, ladies. But, loose the edge. Wear it belted, button-up or open-up. Note taken: Zara & Principles.

Pink is colour of this season. Personally, I love very soft hue pink on the cheeks. It gives you that flushed look when some cute guy just passed. - Guys loves it. But, for accessories, I prefer to go a little bit bolder. That calls for very bright hot pink. Note taken: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Stila, Body Shop, Nancy Gonzalez and Valentino.



I'm all down with oversize carryalls. I'm guilty for carrying it around. How can I not? All my life necessities in one bag. I'm a working girl now, so, that's vital!
The trend now are hobo designs and totes. Love it for casual, but, practicality not so much. Like duh, I'm a commuter, that's a no-no. Peeps can easily grab in.

Lastly,the one shoulder is great for partying or lunch. It's flirty and sensuous. A little skin is only you need to leave him to want more. What I like about this trend is, it suits every shapes. Just take note, picking the right colours and prints are important to ensure appropriateness.
