Hello there! I am Helen a.k.a. NessaRosebleed (or just Nessa if you like) and I’m guest posting for Chloe’s blog, Styleahead. So, here’s my article about the must trends of this summer. Enjoy!
8 Hot Trends for Summer
I’m one hundred percent positive that you are dying to know the latest summer trends and I’m glad to inform you that there is no need to wait for the biggest fashionista to sport them; you can do that. That’s because the have already been revealed!
Hot Trend #1
Bold Belts
Louis Vuitton has always been creative. Just look at those amazing belts. They can make the simplest black dress look totally fabulous without even using other accessories! Douze points!
Christian Dior has proved us that colors like beige and brown can look uber hot.. Despite the fact that they are “safe” colors they can look “dangerous” as long as you can support a safari look. Animal patterns are always in.
Valentino. Here’s a perfect example of how a belt not made of leather should be. Try this more daring version and you will definitely be rewarded. Some risks pay off, don’t they?
Hot Trend #2
Big accessories
As I mentioned above, Louis Vuitton has always been creative. Take a look at those uber cute accessories.. They are so bohemian, aka trendy, and remind me tribal jewelry. How hot is that?
Lanvin’s designs are always inspiring -at least for me- and this look (left) inspires me to grab some shiny accessories. Like a bracelet made of gems or a shiny clutch. On the other hand Louis Vuitton (left) shows a more earthly version. Bright colors like red, orange, brown and green are proved to be very good “friends” especially during summer.
Imagine having to go somewhere for a special occasion and having nothing special to wear! Disaster? No! As long as there is a bold necklace around. It’s a fact that necklaces are getting bolder and brighter this season. This is definitely a good thing and Oscar de la Renta proves it.
Hot Trend #3
Black and White
Have I mentioned how much I love this combination? No? I think it’s time to do it now. Black and white has always been in, has always been classic and has always been proving that it is sophisticated and hot at the same time. Oh and Christian Lacroix makes it look even more fabulous!
Ok, if Chanel hasn’t been a pioneer in black and white combinations then who has? Cute, sophisticated bags that work better than clutches are always in style, right?
Now, how cool is that? Look at those classy shoes by Chanel and tell me. Don’t they look dashing? Especially the shoes on the left. The would have looked totally classic without the feather detail and the transparent part but now it looks uber hot and funky. I wish there was one in fuchsia too!
Hot Trend #4
Nude class
Hey, is that a Birkin bag? Anyway, Dior has proved that nude colors can look “dangerous” but don’t forget that they are always a safe choice. Complicated, right? Well, Hermes shows the other side of nude colors, the sophisticated, classy one. And that is so hot.
Oh, every time I mention Dior he appears in front of me! Look at this fabulous dress with the trendy belt. It’s definitely a big plus for the otherwise boring outfit. Who said that fabulous can’t be boring sometimes? One the other hand, on the right there is a not-at-all boring shoe. Hmm… Perfect match, don’t you think?
Hot Trend #5
Colorful Bags
Wow. Oscar de la Renta is quite colorful. What’s better than a playful handbag (a big one)? I mean, look at those uber cute sea-creatures-inspired bags. Nothing shouts trendy more than them. Except for an adventurous pair of Dior shoes or some Louis Vuitton accessories (above).
Louis Vuitton! While writing this article, I quite missed the bright colored accessories by Louis Vuitton. Like these bags. Colorful and they scream summer! F-A-B!
Is it real crocodile leather? I hope not. Anyways, it’s so hot that I hardly care. Lanvin didn’t just create a common green clutch made by crocodile leather but also a pink one and hopefully tons of others!
Hot Trend #6
Super Short Shorts
Ok, can it scream more summer? A trendy safari inspired on the left, a hot ocean blue one on the right. Too bad because I don’t think anyone would dare to wear them somewhere else apart from their bed or at the beach.
How cute! These shorts by Marni are definitely hot and the stockings make them look even cuter! I absolutely, positively heart them.
Oh-Em-Gi! High waisted shorts? These uber short shorts by Ellie Tahari are definitely amazing! They remind me the 60’s ;they have their class and their hotness.
Hot Trend #7
Cool blazers
I was checking these outfits on Stardoll and I was thinking: What is missing? And I figured out. All you need to make a casual outfit hotter is a cool blazer. What else can I say? Just cool!
Oh man! I hate these gowns… They are too formal for my taste. I am sure that Carolina Herrera has the same opinion; maybe that’s why she added cool blazers to those dresses.
That’s hot, hot, hot like fire. I start really liking Ellie Tahari. First the high waisted shorts and now these absolutely awesome blazers. I hope there’s more to come!
Hot Trend #8
Sassy Mini Dresses
Yay! Louis Vuitton’s dresses! How amazing? I’m in love with the colors and take a closer look at the models’ shoes! Cool!
Balmain. My favorite.. These bandage dresses so summer-ish. They are ultra feminine and they definitely flattering for your curves.
Well, these dresses are girly and glamorous. And super hot trends for this summer.
That was all girls. Oh, and don’t worry if you are too young to wear these ultra fabulous clothes. A girl can always dream, right?
xx.
If you can get over the ripped tees, over the glittery pants and the cavewoman-ish dresses, then you’ll be into Balmain next Summer too. Because there’s simply no way of going round this collection if you’re looking for a dance party costume. There’s a problem, though – even if the mid-high heels could help your dance routine, I highly dislike them. With me it’s either skyscraper heels or no heels at all. There’s no in-between. Medium heels go wonderfully with an office outfit. Nothing to do with the club or a smashing party.
