Green Fashion

Archive for January, 2010

Spring and summer bring us a mixture of colors, tins, flowers and emotions, which you can’t mix up with other seasons of the year. So, if you would like to follow the fashion and enjoy the beauty of nature, you can combine your summer joy with a bulk of different bright colors with the help of accessories. Even small, but a beautiful detail of your image, such as a fashionable handbag, will make your summer unforgettable. With a new Spring/Summer collection of handbags you should be ready to catch the eye of the public.

Weekend Obsession: Adriana Castro Nina Clutch

Every celebrity, athlete, and sports fan has taken over South Florida for the New Orleans Saints taking on the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. While some are here to go to the game, many are just soaking up the Florida sun and partaking in one of thousands of events be held around South Florida. This truly is the place to be right now!

Kim Kardashian has already shown us her love of Adriana Castro bags, when she carried her Modish Clutch. Last night Kim got dolled up and headed to Prime 112 to dine while debuting an Adriana Castro bag that had not been seen before, the Nina Clutch. The clutch is an oversized envelope style that worked perfectly with Kim’s bright bold printed dress. Not only are we loving this clutch, we are loving Kim’s entire look. Because this is the first we see of the Adriana Castro Nina Clutch and we love Kim Kardashian’s look so much, this is our weekend obsession!
Taylor Swift rocks Hobo International

While we do have PurseBlog Savvy for contemporary affordable designers and Bag that Style for celebrity style, sometimes we still integrate the two into PurseBlog. Today’s post is no exception and even better covers both categories, celeb style and a savvy designer. We are talking about the countrified pop queen of the world right now, Taylor Swift, and the brand Hobo International. Taylor Swift’s new go-to handbag brand is Hobo International, a company who continues to produce chic designs at affordable prices.

Name that Bag: Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson is in the spotlight again. This time it is not for being in another RomCom (romatic comedy), but because of the man she is reportedly dating, Alex Rodriguez. We have a full review of her look on Bag that Style, but I can not get her clutch off my mind.

Problem is I have a clutch on my mind that I can not identify. So for a pre-thanksgiving present to me, who can help Name that Bag!

Reese Witherspoon Style: Bottega Veneta Cabat

One of the most coveted Bottega Veneta handbags is the Cabat. Hop over to the Bottega Veneta forum on the Purse Forum and you will find thread after thread of avid Cabat collectors. What is all the hype about?

The bag is relatively simple, an oversized tote with a woven body and double handles. But the love for this handbag runs deep. No one can seem to get enough. There are limited edition Cabats, like the Reflet Cabat we covered, along with classic Cabats that are released in seasonal colors.

Olivia Palermo Style: Name that Bag!.

Every single aspect of this look I adore. I have to admit, Olivia Palermo is one of my new favorite people. Whether she has a stylist or not, nearly every time I see her she has her outfits perfectly put together. Her evening wear is typically elegant and spot on and her day time wear is uptown chic. Take this outfit for example. Olivia takes casual chic to a whole new level, pairing her J Brand Skinny jeans with a jacket that I must have (anyone know who makes it??) and her signature amazing wavy hair. The handbag is the perfect finisher. We need to know who makes this bag.

The time has come to give out virtual cookies. A virtual cookie for the person who can Name that Bag that Olivia Palermo is rocking!
Celebrity Style: Taylor Momsen carries Versace

Well, first, it has to be said. Taylor Momsen is approximately 16 years old, and this look is perhaps a tad old for her. She could probably be wearing things that are slightly longer, and eye makeup that’s slightly less…well, just slightly less.

But I kind of love her for dressing like this, truth be told. This is how every girl that ever bought a Joy Division album desperately wanted to dress in high school (including yours truly…), and almost none of us ever got the opportunity. I didn’t because I was on debate team and bleach-blond extensions and a whole pencil worth of eyeliner probably would have made me look unprofessional at tournaments. That, and I don’t think my mom would have bought me leather short shorts. But a girl can dream, I suppose.

But obviously, we’re here to talk about Taylor’s bag, the Versace Metal Frame Satchel. We’ve spoken about this bag before, but it’s hard to get a sense of something when you can’t see it carried. Two things struck me this bag after I saw the pictures – it’s a lot smaller than I expected it to be (it’s not nearly the size of a Stam, to which I originally compared the structure) and I like it just as much as I did previously.

Donna Karan Eldridge on Blake Lively

Blake Lively could carry a potato sack and make it look amazing. Obviously, we prefer that she carry a swoon-worthy handbag, which we see her doing time and time again. Late in the summer, Blake was stopping traffic while toting the Donna Karan Eldridge. We covered the this Donna Karan bag with an overall positive feeling. But I yearned to see it in person or on someone.

Spring / Summer 2010 season with a trend make-up complete with colors that will bring “sunshine spark” that will add a “sense of excitement for the color palette. Spring is about light. We liked the look of shimmer on eyes and cheeks, especially in color skin.Popular chocolate for spring 2010 from Bold Coral for Pretty Pinks, Lilacs and Turquoise, the color makes you look fresh and beautiful to be in this spring.

This season colourful eyes are back but with a new found sophistication as opposed to last season. Gone are the neon brights of the ‘80s trend from winter and in their place are an array of pastels as seen on the Nicole Farhi and Dior shows. Complexions are fresh with a flawless finish; whatever foundation you wear make sure it’s light and natural this season. Lips are in a word, pink. Yes, it’s back and was all over the catwalk in shades of soft rose – worn over deep plums to lighten the look as seen in Marc by Marc Jacobs – coral pinks added glamour at Missoni, baby pink nude glosses at Max Mara and Hermes were popular, and pops of bright pinky reds left models catwalk ready at Prada.

Colorful, trendy, lively are words that best describe Spring Fashion. Fashion lovers take spring as time to flaunt their best wardrobe picks and chunky accessories to match it.
