Trend Block

Jump on the trend bandwagon this spring/summer with a bright and bold sundress. Sundresses are always in style when the weather is warmer outside...but this season you'll want to make sure your dress has lots of vivid colors, as well as a bold pattern (we like multi-color stripes and adstract impressionistic designs).

Will you be trying out this trend???

Pick of the Day

There is nothing more perfect than a black and white knit dress. This Stephie Knit Dress from Delia's is a cotton-poly T-shirt dress that is the perfect item for every girl's closet. Stripes are totally in style right now---celebrities from Michelle Williams to Cameron Diaz have been seen sporting them recently. This dress is casual enough to wear on a weekend with a denim jacket and a pair of flats or sandals...or it can be dressed up with a cute belt and a pair of bold tights. No matter how you wear it you will look chic in stripes.

Beauty Flashback

Ever think to yourself...if only I was a celebrity I would never have to worry about my hair or makeup looking bad again. Do you really think that the rich and famous always look (or have looked) picture perfect? Well think again. Maybe it was before they hit it big, maybe they were going through an awkward phase, or even worse...they could have been growing up in the 1980's. Whatever their excuse was, I'm sure these celebs wish that they could burn some of these images...but I guess hair and makeup really is a learning experience.








Pictured are: Jessica Alba, Debra Messing, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tyra Banks, Christina Applegate, Kelly Ripa, Nicole Richie.

From their pictures I think we can all learn something. Less is definitely more...and following the trends of the time will often just end up embarrassing you.

Are there any current beauty or even fashion styles and trends that you think will be cringe-worthy ten years from now?

If you know me then you know that I am obsessed with The Hills and The City...and I just adore Whitney Port. She has a killer sense of fashion, the prettiest hair on TV, and such a sweet personality.

I just found out that some select pieces of her clothing line, Whitney Eve, is available on Seen On since her online store is not up just yet.

What do you think of the Whitney Eve collection?

Dear Snapshot Fashion...

Dear Snapshot Fashion,
I have these boots in brown and I LOVE them...but I always feel like I have nothing to wear with them. I don't have skinny jeans, I hate the way I look in skinny jeans, I don't ever plan on getting skinny jeans, so they are not an option for me. I am a bootcut/boyfriend/wideleg jean girl through and through but alas, does not allow me to show off these boots.
I love skirts though...but it's winter and I feel like brown leggings are too blah....black leggings? I dont know. Help me!
~Skinny Jean Hater

****************************************
Dear Skinny Jean Hater,
First of all let me start out buy saying that you really should not fear the skinny jean! So many people have such misconceptions of these jeans...thinking that they have to be a size zero to wear them...SO WRONG! Maybe you tried on a brand that just wasn't flattering. I really do suggest going on a skinny jean shopping spree. But, if you are still totally against skinny jeans then skirts are a GREAT option to wear with these boots. I have some similar boots and I wear mine with skirts all the time.

I suggest wearing them with mini skirts. You don't want to wear them with skirts that are too long else you'll look frumpy. If you have a cute denim mini skirt that would be a great option to pair with these boots.

Yes it is cold outside...but that doesn't mean you pack away your skirts for the season. Leggings are a good option if you want to stay warm. Also, thick knit tights will keep your legs extra warm throughout winter. And don't worry about matching your legwear to your shoes. I suggest trying out some colors!

I have put together some looks that I feel would look great with your boots. I hope this helps you get a better grasp on how to wear them!

Lookin' Fab

Thandie Newton showed up at the 2009 Elle Style Awards in London last night looking amazing! Her dress has gotten a bunch of mixed reviews...but I really love the bold colors in it. I think the colors look fantastic on her. So many other celebs attending these awards played it safe with their dresses.

I also give her an A+ for saying no to accessories. Wearing accessories with a bold dress like this would have just been overkill.

What do you think of this look on her?

I love this super cute Braided Mosaic Bead Cuff from Fred Flare. Colorful beads totally make me think of warmer weather (is that weird?)...and I am sooooo over winter.

Interview with Keiko Lynn

Keiko Lynn is quite a fashionista. I got pulled into her blog recently and got so hooked into seeing what bold colors and handmade pieces she was going to wear daily that I had to shoot her an email to see if she'd be up for an interview...and to my delight she said yes.

Here is a portion of our interview with Keiko---

Snapshot Fashion: What pushed you to create your fashion line, Postlapsaria?
Keiko Lynn: As a theatre major in college, I had no time for a regular job. I had a scholarship but didn't want to take out any loans for extra living expenses. Since I already spent a lot of my downtime altering thrift store finds for myself, it just made sense to start offering them for
sale. From there, it turned into a full time job and I began making original creations, in addition to the reconstructions.

SF: Who are your fashion icons?

KL: I often find that my style icons don't represent my personal taste. I just appreciate artistic ingenuity. I adore Iris Apfel and Anna Piaggi for their eclectic flair. However, I do have icons I look to for my own inspiration. Currently, I'm in love with Chuck, the fictional character of Pushing Daisies (may it rest in peace). I think her character's style somewhat reflects my own, so I might be a little biased. I'm also in awe of my great grandma (Moe) - she had impeccable style at my age (and beyond), and made all of her own clothing. She's the one who taught me how to sew!

SF: If you could give anyone a wardrobe makeover who would it be and why?

KL: My big sister. She is beautiful and magnetic, but she is utterly lazy about getting dressed and often looks like she is wearing pajamas. I tease her about it a lot, but I understand that not everyone is into fashion, and that's okay.

SF: We love seeing that you enjoy wearing bright and bold colors! Is there any color you won't wear?
KL: Absolutely not! I will wear any color you throw at me.

Dear Snapshot Fashion...

Dear Snapshot Fashion,

Immediate help needed. In two days I'm going to go to an event that requires "semi-formal" attire. I have no idea what this means even after googling it. I've tried to create several outfits but I end up doubting myself that it looks either too formal or not formal enough. Help!

<3

Addle Brained

[I've sent you an outfit before and got featured, I'm hoping my name doesn't pop up though, that's why I signed addle brained XD]

*********************************************************************
Dear Addle Brained-
First let me start off by saying that you shouldn't feel embarrassed about not knowing what semi-formal attire is. It actually is rather confusing. And I'm sure if we featured you on our site that you are quite stylish!
Now, let's move on to the question at hand...what is semi-formal attire?
The definition of semi-formal attire is rather flexible. You can wear a dress which length can go from a little above the knee (nothing TOO SHORT) to just above the ankle. You could also wear a skirt suit or pant suit. If you decide to wear a suit it should be a more elegant type suit (a silky material would work well). Another option would be to wear some tuxedo pants and a dressier top. Also, high heeled shoes should be worn.
My tip is that it is always better to be over dressed than under dressed!
We've put together a few different looks for you so you get an idea of outfits that might work for your event. We hope this helps!!!
