Actress Evan Rachel Wood at HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" New York Premiere July 6, 2011.

Move over polk a dots — there’s a new print in town.  And it’s out of this world.   Yes, I am obsessed with the new Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 collection star printed pants.  Spotted on actress Evan Rachel Wood  in New York this summer with a star shirt to match — I mean figuratively ofcourse.  She paired these sexy star pants with a Dolce & Gabbana grey T-shirt with late actor Dennis Hopper’s face.  Her fuschia lipstick gave this outfit the pop of color it needed — and brought attention to her stunning face.

The Dolce & Gabbana signature star print can be found on long and short dresses.

In lieu of finding them hanging from electrical wires all throughout town, designers have made an effort to  reinvent the traditional sneaker, by jumping on board of the minimalist, deconstructed bandwagon. Timeless styles, such as the Nike WMNS terminator are using unfinished uppers, leather laces and perforated leathers, to achieve a look with an all together lack of structure.

Converse LE Star Tech High

Converse Star tech high also dismantles the traditional sneaker look, for a more raw industrial feel, while others like the Buttero b4003 use perforated leather and a speckled soles to create a look perfect for pairing with any summer outfit. traditional desert boots are also being used as inspiration for sneakers like the  Vans Vault Chukka Bardenas and Nike Air Ralston both of which are great examples of  spot-on-trend.

Buttero B4003

Whats is great about the upcoming wave of sneakers is that menswear designers are serving an overwhelming amount of deconstructed minimalism this season and being able to pair a shoe with a great outfit is the cherry on top of the cake.  Designers like Rick Owens and Damir Doma, who’s design aesthetic have always had certain dark undertones  may have partly influenced these designs but none the less, their is no doubt that In dark economical times, mens fashion always finds a way to stay on the cusp of reality.

Nike Air Ralston

Bow ties made a serious splash this season becoming one of the top evening wear accessories for men. Fashion forward men and woman alike will agree that being on trend is important, but when a trend becomes as mainstream as the traditional bow tie has it’s time for a new avant garde design. Meet Los Angeles based designer Victor Becerill of The Low Bow. He’s broken the boundaries of the traditional silk bow tie, catching the eye of celebrities like Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Drew Barrymore.

The most stylish 7-year-old I know, Calli, rocks bright multi-colored feathers. Photo Credit: SSD

Singer Ke$ha helped put Feather Hair Extensions on the map for trends to try in 2011.  This is a great look to experiment with because you don’t have to commit to a drastic hair cut or color.  If you don’t like the feathers in your hair, just take them out.  So I decided to give this look a try.  I went to stylist Grace Nicole at Auburn Salon in Santa Monica to find out more about this new hair accessory and to get the look.  Read on to find out the process and my outcome…

Although I chose a subtle color feather that matches my blonde locks, she had lots of fun colors to choose from. After seeing a few different styles on some of my friends, I decided to go with the single feather look, so I got two of them staggered about an inch from each other.

You can choose a feather that contrasts with your hair color like pink or purple, or something more subtle like tan or red. Photo credit: SSD

Another option is the bundle, which looks funky with a bunch of different colored feathers in a bunch, definitely a look that makes you stand out. Super stylish Calli, age 7, has a bundle of bright colored feathers mixed with some single strands of extensions. This look is fun and definitely contrasts well with her hair.

Using real feathers, these thin extensions are wrapped into the hair with a bead that is squeezed tight with pliers. The best part about them is that you can wash, brush, blow dry, flat iron, and curl them for any style you’re looking for. The feathers are also reusable.

Grace Nicole has been getting lots of customers coming in for a few feathers, then coming in a second or third time to either move the extension or add more. The feathers cost about $10-$15 per strand or $35-$45 for a bundle depending on the salon, and they can stay in for over a month.

The feathers, spotted on girls of all ages, can be hidden in your hair and only seen in certain angles, like Carly’s red feathers which she had placed low, under her dark locks, or they can be more visible with bright colors and bundles. Whichever way you wear it, this trend is super fun for the coming spring and summer months and gives you a new updated look if you’re in need of a change.

Experiment with this new, fun trend of feather hair extensions.

Armani spring 2011 Matteo Volta

One of the hottest trends coming down the spring/summer runway this year is cropped tops.   The key to this look isn’t about baring your entire stomach, it is actually quite the opposite. You can achieve a very sophisticated look, with a flirty cropped twist, by exposing just a glimpse of your toned tummy.

Diane Kruger nails the look by pairing her crop top with a great pair of high wasited slacks. Not only does a high waisted pair of bottoms give the illusion of a slimmer physique, it also allows you to bare a little skin without exposing alot. Remeber: its always better to keep them guessing!

The former Mrs.Wentz gives us a lesson in cropped class. Ashlee Simpson followed suit by pairing her crop top with a pair of high wasted shorts. She adds a dash of sophistication by tying it all together with a classic blazer.

Cameron Diaz in pastel pink jeans

With Easter this week and the sun finally peaking out, I was inspired to finally start dressing for Spring. So I put away my black sweaters and scarves and I brought out my favorite Elizabeth and James floral sundress for brunch on Sunday. This inspired me to change my attitude, brighten my mood, and start wearing beautiful and bold pastels as we step into warmer weather and sunnier days, like Cameron Diaz‘s pastel pink jeans. Here are some creative ways to add some pastels to your daily wardrobe without feeling like a package of colored eggs.

Nails

Essie Nice is Nice

Nail polish companies like O.P.I. and Essie have come out with beautiful pastels for spring. Essie’s new French Affair Spring Collection features a light and dainty lavender color called Nice is Nice, priced at $8. Pastel colored manicures are the best way to incorporate bright, fun, pastels into your wardrobe. Try purples, pinks, and light greens and yellows to mix it up this season.

Jeans

Pastel colored jeans are all the rage right now. Jada Pinkett-Smith and Audrina Patridge love yellow jeans for a bright spring look. Paired with sandals and a baggy tee, or with pumps and a blazer, these jeans are versatile and flirty.

For a retro, Mad Men-inspired look, try a classy below-the-knee A-line or pencil skirt. Yes, ladies, it is definitely flattering to just show off your ankles. I would pair these skirts with a fitted tank or sweater like GG’s Blair Waldorf, or a blazer to make it even more throwback classy. Don’t be afraid to raid your closet for old designs from the 60′s and 70′s, even the 90′s!
