Spring/Summer 2010 trends http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2010/02/06/springsummer-2010-trends/ http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2010/02/06/springsummer-2010-trends/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:48:54 +0000 Administrator http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/?p=100 Spring Fashion is about Fun!

Bold Jewelry
See through Mesh
Feathers
Hot Pants
Heavy Print Leggings
Head Scarves/Turbans
Ruffles

Spring Shoes

With such bold fashion elements, shoes will be more subtle this spring/summer to avoid over styling. Neutral tones of
champagne, caramel and taupe as well as florals are popular this summer

Wedges are hot, clogs and stylized oxfords are going to be this season’s perfect complement to edgy clothing and accessory
styles. Lace-up booties, peep-toes, especially peep-toe booties come back with a vengeance for the warmer weather.

Handbag Spring/Summer Trends

Soft embellishments, multi pockets, over-sized Bags and classic shapes are what is in for handbags spring/summer 2010.
While last year brought us chains and heavy zippers, this year brings us softer, more subtle embellishments. Things to look
for when it comes to soft embellishments: rouching, pleats and weaving of the exterior material; interesting straps and
handles such as braiding or leather woven through (small) chain; fringe; mixed media (leather with suede or calf hair trim);
and small metallic closures. Additionally, patent leather is considered a soft embellishment, provided there are no other style
elements to distract from the patent.

Romantic Statement Making Jewelry http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/11/16/romantic-statement-making-jewelry/ http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/11/16/romantic-statement-making-jewelry/#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:16:36 +0000 Administrator http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/?p=83 I tend to favor an eclectic style that leans toward old world glamour. One of my favorite jewelry artists is Michal Negrin. Her work has lots of girlie-girl sparkle, Victorian-esque attention to detail, with a bold shameless fairly tale appeal that I love! I chose a pair of Negrin’s earrings to wear for my marriage vow renewal a little over a year ago:

From my wedding

From my wedding

Israeli designer, Michal Negrin, began selling her jewelry designs in 1988 in Tel Aviv’s open-air marketplace.  Soon afterwards,  Negrin and her husband opened a small shop. She now has 41 Michal Negrin shops around the world. Her company employs 160 artisans who meticulously produce Negrin’s handmade designs.

The Little Black Dress http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/10/28/the-little-black-dress/ http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/10/28/the-little-black-dress/#comments Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:04:50 +0000 Administrator http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/?p=61 With my husband

The little black dress is a staple in most girls’ wardrobes. It seems like it should be an easy item to acquire. Run into your favorite store and snap one up! I , however, have never found this to be an easy task. Now there are those like my daughter, who is a size 2, who can throw on anything and it looks fabulous. However, I’m a curvy size 8 so what looks good on a hanger may look very different than what I envision once I try it on; for one thing, my top half is a different size than my bottom half, blah blah, you get the picture. I have found that the LBD is worth the hunt.  I have several black skirts (another essential) but 2 LBD’s. One I spent some serious dough on and I love it, but it has restrictions: no weight fluctuations allowed and doesn’t work well with a jacket of any sort. My favorite LBD is one I picked up on a whim at a resale shop for $12.00 about 7 years ago.  Obviously, it is of good quality to put up with me for 7 years. It is very form fitting, but the true beauty of this dress is that it looks fabulous by itself or with a day or evening jacket. Being so super form fitting, the jacket option is this girl’s best friend! My weight can fluctuate 5 lbs.(hello holidays!) or for whatever reason,  I can just adjust the  look with a jacket.

I’ve posted a pic below on an evening out with friends.

European affiliates http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/10/13/european-affiliates/ http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/2009/10/13/european-affiliates/#comments Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:09:03 +0000 Administrator http://onlyitgirls.com/blog/?p=9 It’s very exciting that we have several new European affiliates on board. We get to peek into some boutiques that are a bit more fashion forward than what we have here in my hometown, Fort Worth,  Texas. Fort Worth, and especially Dallas are no slouch in the fashion department mind you. It has been my experience, however, that we are not on the cutting edge of fashion trends and tend to market more conservative options of what is out there. Okay, enough of my 2 cents. I’ll be adding more and more items those of us in the US can order from overseas so there is quite a bit more to be revealed…

I have no idea what happened to the previous posts. Before I turn in I thought I would post a pic of a favorite pair of shoes I have.  I bought them on vacation in St. Lucia. This photo doesn’t show all the beading work very well which is something I love about them, they glimmer.  They were a fun find, not of great quality but fun to wear with jeans. Best of all when I wear them, I think of the great time I had in the West Indies.stlucisdhord
