FASHION FILE : PEPLUM POWER

Its Friday and for some of you it's also PAY DAY! While you're out blowing your rent money on fabulous fashions, be sure to pick up some peplums to add some pep to your spring wardrobe! Peplums are fun, flirty and feminine... the kind of F's I like (don't even go there).


Here are some fun facts about peplums I borrowed from sunflowersandspears's blog:
1. Peplums originated from Greece and was the Greek word for tunic.
2. Peplum films are the title given to the genre of films which incorporate old Greek history and style.
3. In the 19th century a peplum referred to a short overskirt that was originally (and sometimes it is still) attached to the bottom of a jacket. It usually drops at the waist on a womans' body.
4. The purpose for a peplum was to add to a womans' figure and enhance her hips and therefore make her waist appear smaller.


The peplum play suit is to die! ASOS certainly doesn't have a shortage of peplums. I love the structured, futuristic styles that give you a feminine look with a little edge that's cool.


Happy shopping!!!

TREND TALK : THE DESIGNER BABY

I can think of seven people off the top of my head that I know personally who are pregnant right now. That said, a baby post is definitely an order. While trend spotters, bloggers and editors are talking neon, mint, and tangerine this Spring... I think this Spring's hottest trend is the designer baby! Yes I said it... the Designer Baby (*lol*). Clean & graceful lines, ergonomic features, modern materials, pop colors with neutrals or all white chic. Those are just some of the attributes that describe the cool baby stuff we spotted around the globe. Baby deserves the best of everything. We say, its never too early for baby to be COOL.
