The New Easter Bonnet

While not as traditional as the Easter bonnet, with all its frills upon it, hats are back in a big way. If you're going out today, why not top off your look.

Hat Trends: Top off Winter Style

Hats are all over the runway for Spring 2011. My job this week took me to a shoot with a stylist who brought plenty of head couture from Prada, Missoni and couture milliner Heather Huey (all which I tried on to entertain myself during down time, almost getting busted taking pictures of myself in them.*red face*

But what about now? Its freezing out there!

The classic knit beanie/skull cap is not my style, so what else is out there right now? Stylish aviators, felt fedoras and news boy caps, while all time honored toppers, designers add a little tweak to make them modern.

Spring Trends 2010: Menswear Inspired

Fashion Emporium Editor — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:29:06 EST

At work, its been all about spring trends for magazines, videos and advertisements. It's because of this that I proabably blurt out "minimal dressing" or "boho-chic" in my sleep. Since spring is on the brain (though it is not at all on mother nature's) I thought I'd start giving my readers a heads up of what to save up for this spring.

I love menswear, but with a slight feminine touch. I'm girly, but I also have a rough side which is why this trend works for me. Personally, I think these classic pieces that will work year after year.
