Metallics

Spring/Summer 2014

One way of updating your wardrobe this season is with glossy silver and gold metallics that have been all the rage from runways to fashion editorials and red carpet events. This is your guide on Spring/Summer 2014's major metallic trend.

Gold Metallics on the Runway

It all began on the SS14 runways, where we were treated to lacquered gold looks in rich lamés, liquid silk dresses and foiled pleated skirts. Christopher Kane and Blugirl kept it subtle with pale shades, whilst DvF, Altuzarra, Reem Acra, Givenchy and Saint Laurent turned up the volume with high gloss looks that glistened like melted gold metal.

Silver Metallics On the Runway

Designers provided an alternative to gold with polished silver dresses, seen at Altuzarra, Thakoon and Rochas. Roberto Cavalli presented slick metallic leather biker jackets, whilst Christopher Kane went holographic. Rachel Zoe and Zero Maria Cornejo took the pants route with laid back luxe. Proenza Schouler and Versace glimmered on with eye-catching evening gowns.

Celebrities and Silver Metallics

Cate Blanchett (in Prada), Kate Bosworth (in Topshop) and Giovanna Battaglia had a head start in this popular trend, pictured out in gleaming silver leather. On the red carpet, Taylor Swift (wearing Gucci) and Kate Mara (in J.Mendel) were statuesque in fluid silvery gowns.

Celebrities & the Gold Metallic Trend

We recently saw Lea Michele go molten gold in a glazed Altuzarra gown at the Met Gala. Sarah Hyland kept it short and shiny in Sass & Bide. Cate Blanchett (in Givenchy) and Jennifer Lopez (in Lanvin) both experimented with mixed bronze and gold coated outfits. Zendaya tried the metallic trend in a lustrous Gucci pantsuit.

Luisa Spagnoli Spring/Summer 2014

In my experience as a fashion blogger, I have found that every designer fulfills and gratifies a different niche in the market. Italian Brand Luisa Spagnoli has carved its own unique métier within the realms of industry, one that is decisively classic with a strong sense of poise and sophistication. Finding its origins in 1928, the label was created by Luisa Spagnoli, whose refinement and self-assurance can still be seen in every new collection.

This Spring, Luisa Spagnoli serves up modern office wear that will be the envy of every coworker and command attention in the boardroom. This is a range that emits power without pride, and confidence without attitude. Elegant knit shift dresses are enhanced with gold buttons and trims, the bouclé jacket is given a modern update, stretch cotton and silk georgette tops and trousers offer comfort and function, while vibrant ethno-chic prints provide a beautiful summer escape. 

Poppy red, chartreuse, emerald, coral and yellow add colour to this timeless range, whilst a nautical themed navy and white section appeals to one's more modest side. For your weekends, Spagnoli has patched pretty white lace onto denim jeans and jacket, alternated with feminine peasant tops and breezy embroidered white cotton dresses.

This is Luisa Spagnoli's elegant and tasteful Spring/Summer 2014 collection.

How To Create A Happy Life

How to create a truly worthwhile and happy life: 

1. Be good, and do good. That is simple enough.

2. Know what is right, and do what is right. 

3. Live each day in such a manner that, when you go to sleep each night, you do so with a clear conscience. 

4. Never do something you won't be proud of.

5. Never become someone you won't be proud of. 

6. Do not search for riches, fame, or material wealth. Live your life the best way that you can, and if you do, you will attain the most valuable possession there is: peace of mind.

7. Realize that there is no substitute for being a good person.

8. Work hard at developing meaningful, genuine relationships. 

9. Help make other people's lives a little better and more pleasant than they might otherwise be. Care for others as much as you can, and show appreciation to the important people in your life as often as you can. 

10. Learn to forgive, and actually practice forgiveness. 

11. Learn to ask for forgiveness.

12. Learn to control your emotions. Learn to think before you speak and act.

13. Learn to control your anger, or else it will control you.

14. Never judge anyone. Be kind and respectful to everyone; you never know what someone might be going through.

15. Keep an open mind. Accept the fact that you may not always be right. 

16. Keep an open heart. Understand that what you want in life, and that what you are called to do may change as you gather more knowledge and experiences.

17. Do not fear change. Embrace the exciting opportunities that come with the future.

18. Always be positive. Remember, you can be realistic and positive at the same time.

19. Enjoy the life you have, because it's the only one you're going to get.

20. Don't always take yourself too seriously. Learn to laugh at yourself and at your circumstances.

21. Don't waste time complaining. Find something to be thankful for, and make the most of the good things you have in your life. Focus on the positives, and you will find that everything else seems to disappear from view.

22. Appreciate what you have. Pursue what you want.

23. Always do your best. If your best is good enough, then enjoy the rewards. If your best isn't good enough, then keep working and keep giving your best until one day it is. 

24. Be humble; it is better to be humble of your own choosing than to be humbled by other people or by circumstances.

25. Find out what you have a passion for, and then do it. And don't just do it for your own benefit; find a way to use your gifts and your passion to help others. 

26. Hold on tightly to your sense of self-worth and your dreams. They belong to you, and you alone. No one can take away any of those things unless you allow them too. 

27. Don't wish for better circumstances. Go out and make them. 

28. Make the most of your talent and your opportunities, and find a way to do it in service to something that is greater than your own immediate self.

29. Realize that we are all part of something larger than ourselves, and that we are called to do as much good in this lifetime as we possibly can.

30. Live with honour and integrity, live a life that matters.

...In other words: Make Your Life a Masterpiece.

Who was Your Best and Worst Dressed at the 2014 Met Gala?

Who Wore Chanel Better?

Who Wore It Better?
Black and White Chanel Dresses

With Chanel being such a widely coveted brand, it's inevitable that more than one celebrity will be spotted in the same glamourous Parisian look. That can be said for an iconic black and white chiffon-feathered gown from Chanel's Fall 2011 collection which continues to make appearances on the red carpet year after year.

Round 1

1. Crystal Renn hauled this dramatic monochromatic gown out of the Chanel archives for an outing in New York just last week (April 2014). The supermodel pulled her hair back in a sleek bun, wore a red hot lip and carried a black clutch bag.
2. Lily Allen picked out the popular Chanel gown for a movie premiere in London during October 2013. The British singer wore the white cap-sleeved gown with turned up collar and tattered black chiffon gown originally as presented on the runway, with the leaf-embroidered waistband. Lily added a colourful Chanel Lego clutch, and fringed updo to her outfit.
3. Emilia Clarke looked elegant at the 2012 SAG Awards in the frou frou feathered gown with white bodice that is edged in black frills. The Game of Thrones actress kept her hair in a loose upstyle.
4. The first person to wear this two-tone Chanel look was Zoe Kravitz at the Unicef Snowflake ball in November 2011. Zoe wore the dress sans the embroidered waistband with her hair up.

On the runway the textured gown with structured bodice was given grunge styling, worn by Latvian model Ginta Lapina, with sheer chiffon fingerless gloves and lace-up leather boots.

Round 2

1. Rachel Zoe put on a little black and white pearl studded Chanel dress for a red carpet appearance in Los Angeles during March 2014. The designer accessorized with an elaborate pearl necklace and wore black tights and platforms with her dress, a white fur stole in tow.
2. Alexa Chung was first to wear this strapless Chanel tweed shift dress, keeping it simple with a chain sling Chanel bag and black PVC pointy toe pumps as seen on the runway.
3. On the Spring 2013 catwalk, Belgian model Yumi Lambert wore the striking look with a pearl twisted choker, leather fingerless goes and pointy-toe PVC shoes.

In Round 1, my vote goes to Emilia Clarke, the dress was tailored to fit her perfectly, whereas on Lily and Zoe, it looked slightly too big. I also prefer it with the waistband, although I must admit Crystal wore it with poise, only the way a model can.
In Round 2, I think Alexa wore it best, I prefer this dress minus the heavy heels and tights.

Who Do You Think Wore It Better?

Who is Your Favourite 'Look of the Week'?

Friday Frills

Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. 

It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. 

It just feeds your contempt, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. 

The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. 

Everyone has their own unique journey. 

A path that’s right for someone else won’t necessarily be a path that’s right for you. 

And that’s okay. Your journey isn’t right or wrong, or good or bad. 

It’s just different. 

Your life isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s because you aren’t like anyone else. 

You’re a person all your own with a unique set of goals, obstacles, dreams, and needs. 

So stop comparing, and start living. 

You may not have ended up where you intended to go.

But trust, for once, that you have ended up where you needed to be. 

Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. 

Trust that your life is enough. 

Trust that you are enough.
