s/s 2011 guide to style

 Spring/Summer is here once again! This season, highly inspired by countries like Africa and India was said to be an "exotic journey" according to http://www.pantone.com/spring2011.

Along with the exotic feel, this season nudges us to take fashion to the next level by getting out of our comfort zones and being bold--whether through the use of skin-baring fabrics, or neon bright hues that will surely stand out in the crowd.

Here are some ways to stay in style during the season:


FOR THE LADIES:

The Look: The Exotic Vibe



Throw in warm earth-tone hues, bold geometric prints, and hand crafted embellishments for the tribal/exotic look 


ANNA SUI

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

The Look: To make a long story sheer


Bare some skin with sheer fabrics.The dark tones create a more sultry vibe, while the long hemlines connote sophistication--the perfect way to balance "sexy".


CHANEL

GIVENCHY

GAULTIER

 The Look: SUNKIST

Red has taken a backseat to orange this season. Brilliant Orange makes a bold statement--surprisingly even for men!


MARC JACOBS

PRADA

FOR THE STUDS: 
 

 The Look: Men in BRIGHTS

Spice up your look with bold and bright colors worn together.

JIL SANDER

D SQUARED

MAKEUP:

The Look: The Bold Lip

What better way to be sexy during Spring 2011 than to accentuate the most enticing part of a woman's body---her lips. The brighter, the better! Berry tones may suit the taste of those who are less daring when it comes to makeup hues.



Alexandra Herchkovitch

YSL

ACCESSORIES (BAGS):

The Look: PURSE your lips

Carry around a moderately sized clutch purse or a thinly strapped handbag. purses in warm hues add to the summer feel of your entire ensemble.
