Wedding Gowns

I apologize for the long time that I haven't updated this site of mine. I changed shift for my work and things just went crazy and so stressing I could not even touch this site. I am still busy right now but i felt the need to update this site with the latest fashion trends.

And here it goes, June is too far to think of. But wedding gowns, wow, they too have their own moment now.

While many brides-to-be would prefer to live up a fairytale-like wedding, some fashion-forward brides-to-be may want to see themselves catwalking in the aisle. Could you blame them? They just can’t help but feed their appetite for fashion that even their most dreamed-of-moment will be clothed by their fashion antics.

Now here are some of those trendy wedding gowns that those kinds of women would surely love to be inspired with:

J Mendel, Ready-to-Wear Spring 2008
For the disco-loving diva who’s about to wed, J. Mendel’s Halston-esque gown gives off a groovy, glamorous vibe. The dress’s halter-top silhouette begs to be worn with ’70s-inspired shoulder-grazing earrings. (http://trends.glam.com/photos/features/wedding_dresses_for_fashionistas)


Marchesa, Ready-to-Wear Fall 2008
For those who don't wear pure white well, Marchesa's delicate grey gown provides a sophisticated and flattering option. Tiers of ruffles, ostrich plumes and asymetrical accents complete the vision of nouveau chic

Monique Lhullier, Bridal Spring 2008
In keeping with fashion’s sweetly girlish trend, Lhuillier offers up a number of diaphanous confections. With a ruffled neckline and flattering cinched waist, Lhuillier’s flower-child gown will flatter a variety of styles and shapes.

Jumpsuits

Just like all of the other vintage looks and styles which keeps on reappearing in the surface -- the jumpsuit is back! These Dark and elegant or fun and flirty wear are just as elegant yet pictures out real simplicity.

These louche jumpsuits are back in the limelight after they have gained their popularity and became the favorite of '70s disco queens. Stella McCartney's runway first debuted these sexy one-piece ensembles which are replacing the dress as the most effortless red carpet style.

Color Blocked Dresses

Color block is in style right now. Have and give it to this cutie for putting your own unique spin on the look. Go for a dress with two or three coordinating colors. For more fun and youthful look, go for a couple of coordinating bright colors. Make the color composition just perfect, elegant but looking casual at the same time.

This dress is delightfully bright, a graphic mix of navy, orange and yellow. (http://www.thefusionboutique.com)

Stripes Top

I am a self-confessed heart-er of stripes! I love stripes! Horizontal stripes tops, at that. There is this cool illusion when watching a woman wearing a stripes top. Her waist area becomes smaller!
This is a fashion trend which we sometimes accentuate with a wider belt. There are wider stripes and pinstripes ones. Some rays of sunshine in your top.
This thin-stripes top is great for women with huge frames. (http://frombetsywithlove.com/?cat=219)

High-Waisted

Who would ever want to be last when it comes to fashion trends. Every lady would be happy to wear and have the latest trend. They opt to be updated with what's in and what's hot nowadays. And now, here comes what was hot when we were still babies. The high-waisted bottom for women. There's a high-waisted shorts, high-waisted skirt, and high-waisted pants. And nobody in hollywood has forgotten to wear them.
We wear what's in and what's set by the designers to become hip and fashion-conscious. But we should wear what's comfortable and suits our body shapes.
I believe, a high-waisted bottom is not for girls who are pear-shaped. Because a high-waisted one would emphasize the bottom part of your body.
Here go the girls who pulled the high-waisted pants, shorts, and skirts.Fergie, Rachel, Mary Kate, and Kiera in their high-waisted pants. (http://colorizacion.blogspot.com/2007/08/hated-high-waisted-trousers.html)

Dark Nail Polish

They say you can express yourself through the clothes that you wear. Yes, but there are also other ways to express yourself and the mood that you're wearing. Like the accessories that you wear, they give an attitude.
Dark nail polish is the trend today. Be it a royal blue, bloody red, or your midnight black. The purple shade is too cute, too! They convey different meanings these days. Back then, a dark color of nails would mean something mysterious or something gloomy in a person's personality. Today, dark nails mean fashion uprise!Midnight black nail polish looks good on fair-skinned hands. (http://weblog.xanga.com/likeViolet/638863155/i-shall-paint-my-nails-red.html)
