The Crochet Top - By Urban Outfitters

Crochet...

..........................................................

... is here to stay, at least for another season that is.

We can thank, mainly, Coachella for re-igniting the hippie
festival princess in us all and leading the way for
the 2012 festival-chic trends.

One of the basics every festival-goer should posess on their person is a  
crochet tee or vest.
Urban outfitters has a few gorgeous options for you to choose from in pretty colours
and sexy styles.

I LOVE each and every one of these, but the main thing that surprised me was the
"Pins and Needles Cold Shoulder Crochet Top". 





The reason for this is that, on any other
garment i really REALLY don't like this open shoulder thing. I think it makes most
girls look pretty butch and manly. There is nothing sexy about these tees AT all...
until I saw this one.

It seems the "holy" effect of the crochet doesn't draw too much attention to the
"cold shoulder" detail, and I think, just for this style, it works really beautifully.

Check out the pics below or
go to the Urban Outfitters website to see what other
festival-inspired garb you can pic up ;)

Enjoy!

For Love and Lemons!

For Love and Lemons...
.................................................................

... There has to be something gorgeously personal about this label with a name like that, right?

For Love and Lemons is my new favorite find!! This "Southern California based lifestyle brand" has some of the most unique and gorgeous designs...

This brand, founded by Gillian Mahin & Laura Hall, got it's name from when these two soul sisters started their VERY first business - a Lemonade Stand! But as they say on their site, it was less about the lemons and more about the love... Now you have to know how much passion and love goes into this fashion label!!

Now that you know a little more about them, let's Que their Spring 2012 Collection:

DAY TRIPPER

Yet again, playing on the "Festival Boho Chic" Style, but with a little difference...

When you look through their lookbook, you notice a very definite transition. Now I'm not sure if they planned it this way, but it seems work pretty well! The lookbook almost tells a story of a girl going through different "phases" of her wardrobe so to speak... We start out seeing a very cute American-type girl next door in her whites, browns and florals... Lots of brass and turquoise jewellery and little flower headbands really take these few looks back to that almost "Red Indian" feel.

She then goes through a bit of a 60's / 70's feel, noticeable by the silhouettes of the garments. This seems to the the middle ground between the first phase and the third... (the 3rd being my favorite of course) The Grunge Rocker.

Shifting into her 90's vintage grunge girl look, I absolutely LOVE the black cut-out dress, the little lace shorts, the black floral bustier and her smokey sexy makeup. All the while, her wide-brimmed hat and brown boots with the brass and turquoise jewellery tie this entire lookbook together beautifully.

I've put only the styles below that I love, but please do go to their site
and check out the rest from this amazing collection, as well as a few past collections too!!

Spread the love and Enjoy!!

Brandy Melville - Spring Lookbook '12

Brandy Melville...

... As you who follow my blog may know, Brandy Melville
is by far one of my fav fashion brands. I just adore everything about their
items and brand image...

And their Spring 2012 lookbook is soo inspiring, thought I'd share the stills with ya'll!

As everyone mostly knows, one of the biggest celeb-friendly events this year has been Coachella, which has literally allowed for also one of the biggest trending themes : Festival Chic. I would say that the festival look is more a love-child of Tribal and Boho... But we're all seeming to love the torn denim, ditsy florals, graphic tees, grown-on sleeves and all the gorgeous colours that are coming with this laid-back trend...

And so, allow me to introduce the festival-inspired Spring range for Brandy Melville...

Enjoy!
