Blue is the color of the season. These fabulous blue and crystal jewel embellished sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti are a must have for any shoe closet. Pair these knock-out sandals with a beautiful little white or black dress and be prepared to out shine everyone in the room. For more information click here.
I love dresses, especially fun flirty styles with a pop of color and intricate embellishments. This hot pink number by Tibi is perfect for lunch on a yatch. The orange dress with white beading is a steal at only thirty dollars from Forever 21 and will look stellar with chunky wooden heels, a perfect outfit for a steamy party in Goa.

The weather in New York is fabulous and it has me craving for even hotter days so that I can pull out my embellished caftans and heels. I love to pair flowy chiffon caftans with white straight legged jeans and fabulous jeweled sandals. They come together to create an aura of exotic glamour.Here are a few favorites from Vivre.

Bridal trends for spring were not only seen on NY Bridal Fashion week, but draped over the RTW runway. I love the romantic combinations of muted and pale neutrals with light and airy fabrics. There are many themes for 2010 wedding styles and the major focus is on the obvious. For spring, floral and garden arrangements are key trends for bridal gowns and accessories. Light fabrics such as silk chiffon and organza are perfect for warm weather nuptials. Whatever the theme of your ceremony, nothing says romance like roses and floral appliqués. The detailing on wedding gowns consisted of gathered rosettes and silk coils to create a blooming affect. David’s Bridal incorporated flowers with feathers in bridal headpieces for a subtle, yet stylish touch to a more classic wedding dress. If you already have your dream wedding dress, but want to add pop of botanical flare, try going for a floral printed pair of wedding shoes that peep from underneath your gown, or printed sash. I love a pop of color in the traditional all-white gown, it's refreshing and unexpected.
This season the star collections have been decided and that is that. Balmain, Christian Dior and Chanel are the highlights and if your a style.com fanatic like yours truly, you'll do nothing but nod your head and agree. However after going through every show this season, yes you read correct every show, I have decided that though Balmain is absolutely heaven for any Roitfeld wannabe, Christian Dior is bringing back sexy with lingerie and Chanel had a barn (o.m.g) maybe its all about Elie Saab.
Elie Saab's collection featured a mix of Balmain inspired bodycon dresses which see embellishment to a new high, Grecian slip-like dresses which grace the body in a feminine form as well as a array of wearable ready-to-wear pieces which could be a Kate Moss must-have anytime in the future. The power shoulders were more accessible with a more slimline cut and zips were back in with a vengeance, sexier and more tough-luxe combined with beautiful reds. My personal favourite? the Grecian embellished multicoloured bodycon thigh skimming number which was Lanvin meets Balmain. Viewthe entire collection here.
J. Mendel revokes images of fabulous eveningwear and stunningly soft furs. This collection did not disappoint. It was all luxe fabrics, intricate detailing and gorgeous overlays. What was new? Plenty. Sculptural tulle was pretty big. The fabrics, you ask? Organza, chiffon, and huge cascading frills that would give any million dollar bride a complex. There was a lot of tweed in the pegged pants that gave a little more finesse to the collection.
The accessories were lust worthy but did not draw attention away from the clothes. Clearly, Mendel, the French coutourier extraordinaire has outdone himself yet again.
Having a look at the first major designer of the New York Shows the word is “muted”. Soft pale greys, white and black showing not a lot of colour around for the summer. Preen known for tight body con rock chic dresses, had beautifully tailored pants in silver and pale greys. Structured drainpipe cuts will look great on taller women.
Summer whites looked stylish and elegant and will suit anyone with a tan. Loosely fitted shapes make these easy to wear from beach to high street. Skirts remain above the knee. Fab shoes, these are super elegant and very flattering. 
I loved the black geometric print dresses they are on my wish list. The shift dress here is such a great classic wearable for work and play. This dress will still look nice in years to come. Great investment buy.
Thursday night, I headed off to the Hosfelt Gallery with my partner in crime for the Boudoir D'Huitres SS10. I have always loved the lines designer, Mimi Plange who is just as stunning and beautiful like her designs. The SS10 was inspired by the sea and subtle details were found in the collection. The interpretation of the ocean was done in the classy and fabulous Boudoir D'Huitres style and was spot on with SS10 trends including the season's hottest colors (haute pink and Persian blue) as well as details (ruffles and sequins). We will definitely showcase more of the collection in the coming months. View the current Boudoir D'Huitres colection here.
