Joualleries pour tous!

While minimalism dominates the catwalks, jewelry designes create more and more extravagant and voluminous faux and fine jewels. For yet another season necklaces are the big must-haves and they decorate almost every piece in our wardrobe. New materials and strange combos enter, as well as bigger and bigger sizes. Earrings are also another story, since they are a very good companion for your strapless, one-shouldered dresses during day and night.

According to an article that I read in Harper's Bazaar April issue the latest trend is to incorporate evening wear in everyday morning outfits, so don't be shy to add a little more glitz on your boring white office shirt :P

This time I decided to enrich this category with cheaper items since not many can afford Erickson Beamon or Lanvin. Check 'em out!!

Tell me which of the items below do you love the most and I will send you the link where to buy it online!

Red Carpet Style

I know nearly no one can actually afford these gowns -except for lucky girls like Victoria Beckham or Nicole Kidman- but I just can't help looking at them and dream of how they'd look like on me while walking down the red carpet. You see, all these long beaded, satin, beautiful dresses can transform (with the right make up and hair styling) every average woman into a Hollywood star. So, since I can't wear them (in the meantime ;P) I'm just posting some cutes picks I found (via http://www.net-a-porter.com/).

Shoes shoes shoes ;)

God! Who doesn't adore these little pieces of fashion heaven? I know that I'm addicted to them. :P Just like Carrie Bradshaw, Serena Van Der Woodsen and every other style icon who has admitted her passion for Manolos, Choos etc., one pair of sky-high pumps could make any girl's day brighter. So, this season designers decided to pay extra attention to shoes, respecting our worship to them, by creating elegant as well as outrageous designs for this summer's collection. Check out below a couple of my favorites and vote which one do you prefer. Don't forget to watch the video of one of the posts below with more SS '10 items and tell me your opinion about it. X's and O's Athena :)

Spring Summer 2010 Trends: Ladylike

Every woman loves all the garments and the shapes that flatter her silhouette and embrace her curves. So this summer, designers are determined to make all ladies feel sexy and beautiful. Always remember, love your body, don't distort it. Believe me, all these dresses you see below would look so much better on a curvy silhouette rather than a bunch of skin and bones (no offense to the models, whom I really admire, honestly)
check them out below (hope I haven't got you all bored with the SS trends post it's just that I love making these type of posts :P)
