Spring Forward! 2010 Style!

Hey there blogging world! I was feeling like I had been bitten by the springtime fashion bug! I began thinking how that time is quickly upon us, so I am acting now by writing about it!

First things first:

Golden Showers

The 67th Annual Golden Globe awards took place this past Sunday with rain and no shine. Despite the sprinkle of rain showers, the show went on. As always, my personal favorite is the red carpet scenery! I love to see what everyone is wearing, and decide what I feel is hot, or not. This year I have a few personal favorites that I felt were right on point with their fashion forward looks! From sequins, to puffed sleeves, the celebs tried to switch it up a bit.

Kate Hudson looked angelic in her all white dress by designer Marchesa. The design of the dress was cut and presented quite lovely. The dress accompanied a bustier, and a dress that was fitted then draped towards the bottom. Hands down it is a very odd ensemble, but I loved it! Her creamy skin popped in the dress and her white chandelier earrings add an extra length to her fabulous look. A+ for Kate!

My second pick was Penelope Cruz. Not many wore black that night and that may have been a good thing because she was in a race on her own with her Giorgio Armani dress. A beaded and sheer display was present at the top of her dress, and as it cascades down, it flowed open like a very beautiful upside down umbrella! The train was layered with lace and top of the line material. Her look was very clean and classy. I thought she looked so pretty!

Lastly, Sandra Bullock in her deep purple strapless dress by Bottega Veneta was very charming. I think this was a good color choice for her and it worked so well! I liked the sheer fabric on the dress and how it flowed at her feet. Purple has been a favorite of mine lately, so I was glad to see the Golden Globe winning actress in this purplelicious look. Her tear-drop diamond earrings added a shimmering touch.

Side note: Drew Barrymore in her nude/sheer/chiffon gown was oh so pretty on her. Go Drew! But what in the HECK was Julianne Moore wearing! To me it wasn't a dress but some sort of a frock! Haha, it didn't look right AT ALL. She could have done without that scrunched "circular collar" that resembled something like Mr. Rabbit's get-up in Alice in Wonderland!

Spring Preview

Get with it. But don't get lost because Spring is on the way! I'm not trying to rush things, trust me, I don't want to speed this year along too quickly! But I suddenly faced the fashion world's music when I took a trip to the mall this past weekend. I was surrounded by the beginnings of the spring wardrobe stock. There wasn't a whole lot out, but enough to get me thinking about what is to come.

So, from what I have seen in the stores, and around me, I think I have a few predictions of what may be IN this spring!

ruffles

I'm no fortune teller but I think we will be seeing a lot of ruffles this coming spring, and possibly into the summer. I'm not sure how we'll be introduced to ruffles, but I'm sure there will be shirts and specifically dresses that will display lots and lots of ruffles. I'm not a HUGE fan of ruffles, but depending on how it is put together, it's something I could rock!

floral patterns

Get ready to smell the flowers because floral prints will be a part of your senses this spring. From my time spent in the mall, I saw different kinds of floral prints whether it was on jewelry (rings, bracelets), shoes or shirts. I think we will see floral prints in yellows, violets, and greens this spring. Ladies, prepare for an array of flowers and colors!

purplelicious

Once again, purple is on my "gotta have that color" list. Purple is actually a color that is fun to play around with. Colors like brown and gold can really bring out this deep color. We might see some deep but bold colors like purple or like a rich ruby red coming our way for the springtime.

hair

It's time for some celebrity to break out with a "New do'!" Not too long ago it was Rihanna bringing back the bob and asymetrical hair, or Beyonce' basically trademarking lace fronts. Then there was stars like Cassie shaving half of her head. But what's next?

Will it be back to the 'Poetic Justice' braids (I hope not), a shaggy mullet *business in the front, party in the back*, (again, I hope not) or some kind of Salt N Pepa type hair cut. I am not sure what the newest hairstyle will be, but I know it's gonna happen soon! We shall see.

head gear

Lately I've been seeing a lot of hair bows and other head bands for accessories. This spring I think we'll see more of it. Not many have jumped on the bandwagon, but I've seen mostly teens with the hair bows in their heads. Some look cute, while others look a little silly. I am not a bow-hater, I think it can be fab if worn with the right outfit. I do not own a hair bow accessory, but I have to look presentable if I purchase one or a couple. I refuse to look like a big ass kid with a hair bow! Anyway, let's see if spring brings more things to dress your hair up with.

Well, there you have it. My likes and dislikes of the Golden Globes, and my very early Spring 2010 Preview.

My video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/LISHdoesitWRITE verbally illustrates my thoughts as well, basically the same, just my face! :-). My blog just goes into FULL detail about everything! Adios.

Que Pasa?

Fashion IS what's up!

Love a,
