Lily Allen Paying Tribute to Michael Jackson Wearing One Glove

Despite the muddy fun, attendees were still stylish at this years Glastonbury’s festival. Much like America’s Coachella or Lollapalooza, tons of musicans perform on various stages, including; Cold War Kids, Jason Mraz, David Guetta, Peter, Bjorn and John, Blur, Crosby, Stills and Nash, N*E*R*D, Franz Ferdinand, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lady GaGa, Lilly Allen, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young  and hundreds more. 

Lily Allen wore an outrageous jumper and had no problems admitting her wardrobe malfunctions, similar to Janet Jackson’s back from Super Bowl days. Lily paid tribute to the late pop icon Michael Jackson, wearing one white glove. Before she performed, she was wearing Wellies (boots), like most music lovers attending the festival, despite the sun shining most of the time, it did rain at the start so the Wellies proved to be quite smart.

The sun was shining, but music lovers still arrived in Wellies (boots), prepared for mud, Naomi Campbell wore special edition Jimmy Choo crocodile print Wellies, which are only available on the Jimmy Choo website. We were told the demand was so high for these Wellies that last month customers were being placed on a wait list!  Department stores in the US like Nordstrom’s or London’s Harvey Nichols are two great places to find fashionable, yet afforable Wellies.  These boots are great for anything from rainy days, to Sundance Film Festival or, of course, Glastonbury next year.

Throwback to the 70s style is back in full force for 2009.

As we head further into 2009 and the weather gets warmer, you will see more and more 60’s and 70’s inspired fashions in the form of floral peasant tops and long dresses and accessories like forehead bands. This look has been termed the “neo hippy.”     (more…)

Here’s a quick list of the Spring trends for her you can now find in the stores…

1.  Borrowed From The Boys:  Stay ahead of this trend and get a deconstructed jacket now so you can wear it all season long and into next year as well.  With a deconstructed jacket, fit is everything.  Also we here at Style Seen Daily have been seeing some trendsetters throw a wide belt over this look as well and pairing it with tight pants for a more night time sexy cutting edge look. Can also wear it with jeans and a crisp white shirt for work wear, over a floral dress to give a feminine look a more edgy feel, with short shorts to show off your legs…  this jacket can be worn with almost everything and you will be seeing it everywhere this Spring.     

2.  In The Nude:  Pick up a pair of nude shoes to help elongate your legs.

3.  Statement Jewelry:  Costume jewelry to real gems, the more jewelry the better.  Remember Heidi Klum at the Oscars with her huge earrings and numerous bracelets?  It’s not about wearing jewelry as a back drop, it’s having the jewelry take center stage.   

4.  Jumpsuits & Rompers:  A take from the 80s, these onesies are quick to throw on and help you look put together fast — sort of like what the wrap dress did several seasons ago.  

5.  Platforms:  70s inspired designs are back in full force, including retro platforms.  Designers are taking the “high” in high heeled shoes very seriously this season.  Ladies, it’s time to reach new heights.    

6.  Romantic Ruffles:   Spring is also about love, and ruffles help to give you that soft, flirty feminine appeal.   

7.  Blue Oceans:  Take note, blue is a popular color this season.  

8.  The Goddess Dress: Spring 09’s “it” dress.  

9.  Neo Hippy:  Again a take from the 70s era, loose flowing peasant tops are gaining momentum.

Pictured above are 4 spring trend tips for him.

Wondering what’s the latest in men’s fashion?  Well here’s a quick list of the Spring trends for him you can now find in the stores…

1. Casual Chic: Also known as “California Style.”  Includes graphc t-shirts, plaid shorts and twill jackets.

2.  Boardroom Bound:  Look for classic investment items in shades of blue and gray but make sure they fit perfectly, and if not make sure to find a great tailor. 

3.  Check Please:  Bright plaid shirts are great for the hot weather.  Can be worn under a suit jacket for the work week or over a graphic t-shirt for the weekend.

4.  The Denim Story:  Black, white, gray jeans are great for moving into Spring ‘09.  Keep your blue jeans, but try to hold off on wearing them as much and incorporate these fashion forward, yet staple, colors.

 

 

Rosette Asymmetric Dress by Alexander McQueen.

An asymmetric dress / one shoulder dress is the “it” dress for Winter ‘08 and Spring ‘09.  Figure flattering, easy to wear and very on trend.  The shape of the dress brings attention up, towards your face.  This dress is great to wear with your hair up, drawing even more attention to your sultry shoulders and collarbone area  (and add a great pair of tear drop earrings and you are set).  Or let loose and keep your hair down and simple, and let the dress do the talking.    

Lemon yellow, lime green, tangerine orange.  Spring 2009 is all about citrus colors.  

You can incorporate this trend by adding just a pop of color such as an orange clutch or scarf.  

Or you can go all out and have an entire outfit in one color (such as the runway models above).

With the economy in such a slump, there’s no reason why you’re clothing should reflect that.  Instead add color to your life, and we mean that literally ofcourse.

In this recession we might have to par down our spending but certainly not our style.

Costume jewelry is the best way to get the most “bang for your buck.”  And a statement necklace is a must this season. A statement necklace is a big, flashy attention stealer that one can’t help but notice. Plus, it’s great for women who are feeling self conscious about their bodies (and aren’t we all during the holidays) as the big bold must-have accessory brings attention up, towards your face.

Waffle-knit cardigan sweater from GAP in True Black Knit.

The cardigan is a must for men everywhere.  It works for all ages.  And it is one of those great staple fashion pieces that you can always keep in the closet.  

A basic monochrome cardigan can be worn in a variety of ways — as a stylish cover up in replace of a bulky jacket, over a bright graphic t-shirt, buttoned up with a collared shirt and tie — and ofcourse this item is perfect for the true gentleman to offer to their significant other to cuddle up in when out on a date (easy to see then why the female version is nicknamed —  the boyfriend cardigan).

 A black cardigan can easily be found everywhere for all price points, affordable to high end.  So no matter what you’re budget and style, you can definitely make this piece work for you.

Pick your shape and your size but not your color because a purple bag is a must right now. And the great thing about owning a purple bag is it adds a shot of color, and energy, to any outfit.
