Spring 09 Trends: Chunky Necklaces

Marni S/S 09

 

      I'm really looking forward to wearing chunky necklaces this spring & summer. In the winter it's super hard to work a statement necklace (like the one pictured above) with chunky knits, along with all the other winter accessoires that we need in order not to freeze our butts off. Chunky necklaces go hand in hand with neutral tank tops and structured jeans. The difference in the necklaces of this season is that they are crafted with natural materials, such as stones, rustic metals, and sometimes wood. Just remember, when wearing attention grabbing accessories like this, keep everything else neutral, that's including ton visage.

Chloe S/S 09

 

Feast your eyes my cyberspace friends, on Chloé's Spring/Summer 09 collection. Chloé will always be my eternal favorite fashion house for its pretty palettes, girly details, and tasteful cuts. The flowy shapes contrast the structured shoulders of Balmain's S/S collection, and I predict that these scallopped edges and soft, billowy fabrics will be one of the most popular trends of this summer & spring. Another thing that everyone should learn from Chloe S/S 09 is to tone down the makeup and hair. Leave your hair clean and natural and make a soft side part. To freshen up your face, leave the bronzer alone and insead, dab some crème blush on the apples of your cheeks for a healthy flush.

Crystal Ball: Purple in Spring/Summer 09

Purple was seen all over Spring/Summer runways and is a definitemust-have for the upcoming season. Not only is purple flattering on every skin tone; paired with neutrals, jeans, or metallics, violet's more versatile than you think. Look for deep, rich hued purples when shopping and avoid pale pastel shades like lilac (not so flattering on everyone).
