Kate Moss for Topshop, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 23 April 2007 by Angelique

Kate Moss, and a sneak peek at her new line for Topshop, coming out May 1, 2007 (source)

It’s official…one of the most notable style-icon’s of our era has designed a line of togs exclusively for uber chic boutique Topshop. Everything that Topshop does is golden and up to the minute (read: super trendy), like for instance, right now you can find the very popular amongst celebs primary colored jeans you’ve been hearing about.

It is my sad duty to report, however, that Kate’s line appears to be a little bit of a snoozer. I expected something a little more avant-guard I guess…instead I got menswear meets glitter. Seriously…think trousers, button up shirts, tailored vests and sequined dresses. Yawn…it all seems like its so last season.

Anyways, if you are amongst the many that think Kate is the living end when it comes to fashion, check out her new line at Topshop available May 1…I know that I’ll be skipping it, unfortunately, but who knows? Maybe there will be cuter lines by Kate on the horizon…

Posted on 19 April 2007 by Angelique

Life & Style has all the latest new trends and news on celebrity style and more! This week, Life & Style reports that baggy jeans are all the rage again…good news for curvy gals like me who just couldn’t rock the skinny pants look. Check out these four styles and where you can find them. You can pair baggy jeans with everything from dressy tops and heels to casual tanks and sandals.

Lean and leggy? Here’s your chance to show off slender, toned thighs and calves with the hottest trend going in frocks; babydoll dresses! The temperature is raising and so are hem lines, but just beware, don’t go too short if you are self-conscious. Stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Petra Nemcova make this look super hot by pairing super short hemlines with extra tall heels for a fabulous silhouette.

Life & Style brings you 7 trends in 7 days again from all of your favorite stars. See what everyone from Kelly Rowland to Paris Hilton and back wore last week so you can emulate their celebrity style. The general consensus? Green and white casual dresses are HAWT.

Never got over wearing fun graphic tees? Not to worry, they are back for spring with a vengeance, and Life & Style tells you what the hottest selling ones are. Stars like Lindsay Lohan have always been fans of the graphic style, and now you too can find out where to find the hottest tees.

It is my happy duty to report that leaf accents are totally hot this season…I absolutely LOVE leaf accents. Whether you like island style leafs or more of a “ladies who lunch” look, anyone can easily incorporate a little bit of the outdoors into their daily fashion regime. Check out Life & Style for all of this and more and be on the up and up with all the newest celebrity fashion news.

White Done Right, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 17 April 2007 by Angelique

Nicole Richie

Katherine Heigl

Reese Witherspoon (source)

Who cares about the time honored tradition “thou shalt not wear white before labor day” (or is it after?). I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of the whole white jeans look…it reminds me too much of middle school and is just way too risky when Aunt Dot comes to visit, if you know what I mean.

However, there is nothing more polished than a crisp white dress and nothing more stand out and feminine than a snazzy white suit. But you have to know how to rock it.

Nicole Richie pairs her formal white dress with a pair of equally formal red satin heels for the perfect balance of trendy and classy. White or black shoes just wouldn’t have worked here, and metallics are SO 2006…love it.

Need a more casual look? I love what Reese Witherspoon did with her white eyelet dress…a sweet cardigan, flats and fun accessories make this a great look.

So, this spring, we recommend a basic white dress for any occasion (well, not any occasion, not at weddings, but that’s obvious). Check out the Love in Numbers dress from Misile for a simple yet stylish piece that will flatter almost any figure.

Baby Blues and Florals for Spring, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 16 April 2007 by Angelique

Hilary Duff (source)

Kahri Hibiscus Ruffle Tube Dress $80

Kahri Hibiscus Boyshorts $24

The verdict is in…the hottest new color of spring is baby blue. Whether used sparingly on interesting accents like Hilary Duff’s killer Miu Miu heels or full-on in a fun and flirty dress, baby blue is the new black for this spring.

Florals are also always fun for Spring, and Kahri gives their motifs some extra mileage with sweet ruffle detailing. Check out Kahri’s complete line for hawt indie fashion designs you can’t find just anywhere.

So, if your wardrobe is feeling a little blah and you want to spice up that black and white ensemble from your winter wear, add a dash of baby blue for a springy look. Not ready yet for baby blue shoes? Try some blue beads, a baby blue clutch, earrings or a tank peeking out from underneath your top.

What’s New at Life & Style? Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 12 April 2007 by Angelique

This week at Life & Style, you can get the latest scoop on hot celebrity inspired trends! There’s something new every day of the week…whether its’ Halle Berry’s hot satin top or Cameron Diaz’s 80’s inspired off-the-shoulder look, Life & Style has all the latest info on great trends.

Can we talk about Cameron’s cute shoes? OMG…they are totally to die for. Life & Style tells you where to get similar styles so you can emulate Cameron’s sophisticated but cool look. Leopard wedges will instantly turn your plain old jeans and tee into a dressy daytime style and are timeless additions to any wardrobe. Pair them with a red, white or black dress or top and jeans for instant glam.

Speaking of cute shoes…its Spring, and that means it’s time to bust out those sneakers again! Whether worn with a long flowy skirk or casual with denim’s, these aren’t your mom’s white Keds. Look for sneaks with style like seen here on Lauren Conrad. Life & Style tells you where to find the hottest brands at the best prices.

J. Lo proves that fringe benefits are hot this Spring. The look is more luxe than down on the range, and is super hot on oversized satchels.

The look this season for leather is shiny! Patent leather is super hot right now on everything from shoes and bags to accessories. Tip: Only wear one piece of patent leather at a time to avoid looking like your little sisters’ fashion doll.

It’s amazing what designers can do with denim! It seems like every season there is a new look, a new cut and a new wash. Loved skinny jeans? Never fret…those are still hot, hot, hot, but so are wider legs, cuffs and, surprise! Colored jeans. Check out Life & Style’s recommendation for the best looks right now and the hottest selling denim on the market.

Beauty Alert: Short Nails! Acrylic lovers, you may be disappointed to learn that the hot look right now is trimmed and polished nails. Whether in clear coats, pink or red, short polished nails are the big beauty look this spring.

Love what you saw here? Check out Life & Style for more great tips on celebrity fashion, news, trends and more!
