Trend I'm Loving: Neon

I didn't want to bore you all by posting yet another Resort collection, (although it was tempting seeing that I loved Band of Outsiders perfectly preppy, boyish looks with a hint of femininity), so I thought I'd get semi-creative and showcase a re-occuring trend that I saw among some collections. And if you read the title above you'll know that trend is NEON.

Now, I've never been a fan of neon. In fact, I don't think I even own any neon clothes but for some reason my eyes are loving these vivid, bright, bold colors and I can't get enough.

Let's start off with my absolute favorite neon looks from Michael Kors:




McQ




Diane von Furstenberg




Giambattista Valli




Jenni Kayne



Which neon look is your favorite? Are you a fan of the trend?

Lanvin Resort 2012

I spent a good portion of my time viewing a multitude of resort collections, but nothing stood out more than these Lanvin dresses. As soon as I came across this collection I was in awe of how beautiful these dresses are. The metallic shine and the flowiness of them just did it for me. Let's just put it this way, Alber Elbaz knows how to design one glamorous dress.

Yves Saint Laurent Resort 2012

The poppy print dresses in this collection is what makes this one of my absolute favorite resort collections. Not only am I head over heels for this print but I'm also loving the nautical theme--gold buttons, ropes, anchors and stripes. As Stefano Pilati put it: "You know, why not dress like I’m going on a yacht..."

Blog Name Change...Should I or Shouldn't I?

I've been toying with the idea of changing my blog's name for sometime now. I feel like the name doesn't reflect what my blog is about (not that it needs to be that way). But let me just give you a little bit of background on how this blog got started/got it's name.

I started this blog during my last semester of college as an assignment for a Communications class. My professor wanted us to create a blog, choose a topic, and write 2 posts per week relating to that topic. I chose music and I thought I'd be clever and title my blog something music related (the title of my blog comes from a song by a band called Bright Eyes). So, from September to December this blog was all about music. If you look through my blog archives those music posts are still there.

Not until January of this year did I actually start writing about fashion. After I finished college, I had a lot of free time on my hands so I decided to start blogging again.

So, my question to you guys is: Should I change the name of blog or leave it as is? Also, how did you all come up with a name for your blog?

Chanel Resort 2012

I've been meaning to do a post about Chanel's resort collection for a couple weeks now, and I finally got around to doing so. Not only was the collection beautiful but also the location of the show--the French Riviera.
Here are a couple of my favorite looks:

my absolute favorite (love the hat)!

And I had to post these pictures of Rachel Bilson and Blake Lively at the Chanel party. Whose outfit do you like better?

Style Spotlight: Emma Stone

I've been MIA from blogging for awhile, and while I was away I noticed how great Emma Stone has recently been looking. Emma first caught my eye when she wore the peach Calvin Klein Collection dress at the Golden Globes, and from them on she's been looking amazing.

And then I came across this picture the other day and it solidified my thought that Emma Stone is one to watch for when it comes to style. The one thing I love most about her style is that she's not afraid to take risks and wear bright, bold colors.

Outfit I'm Loving: Rachel Bilson

Now this is how you wear (almost) all black with nude accents.


What do you think of Rachel's look?
