Beyonce’s gorgeous Super bowl costume took a team of 14 people over 200 hours to create! Designer to the stars Rubin Singer spoke about the detail that went into the ensembles “My seamstresses were assembling all of the leather and exotic skins individually by hand. All of the pieces were separate details that were all constructed on her body.”
The Cambridge Satchel Company has been in the works with American designer Chris Benz on the fun and colorful Spring 2013 (Virginia) collection. The bags are the classic Cambridge designs that we’ve come to expect and love but have a few new fun twists. The bags are available in 9 colors and all have a signature white front pocket and the bag is a smaller more compact shape with a single top handle and comes with a longer removable strap as well. While the buckles look exactly the same, they have magnetic closures which is awesome, making it way easier to get in and out of your bag. This collection will be available later this month at Bloomingdales $295.
With Paris couture fashion week coming to an end today, I must admit I feel like I’ve watched a fairy tale unfold before my eyes. This particular fashion week which solely concentrates on haute couture pieces from fashion designers around the world, is my favorite of all fashion weeks. I look forward to the opulent, magical, detailed pieces that come down those Parisian runways. These are the most beautiful creations in the fashion industry all in one place; all in one week (4 days technically). The craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable as the designers pull out all the stops to see their “dream” creations come to light. One of these dresses can take over 2,000 hours of work to create. While many designers showcased their collections, I had four favorites- Valentino, Elie Saab, Giambattista Valli and Zuhair Murad. These designers lived up to my ultimate fashion dreams of Paris couture fashion week! Just beautiful!!!!!
My favorite creations………

What are the “it” colors for 2013????? I can’t choose just one! The two colors that I won’t be able to live without are Emerald and Lilac!!!! So many of my favorite fashion moments have included at least one of these colors , if not both! Emerald has always been a go to color in my wardrobe but I’m really making room for lilac this year and am very excited about it. If you’re not big into color you can start by adding a shoe or clutch to your outfit or adding these colors into your makeup regimen. If you love color, go crazy with it- The more the merrier!

I LOVED all the beautiful brights colors in this collection as well as the flouncy sleeves and ruffles. The palette included fuchsia, yellow, cobalt blue and teal among others. The accessories were pretty great too, I would wear every strappy heel that strutted down that runway and I really liked the heavily jeweled necklines and collars. This collection was definitely bright and beautiful.
