Colorful Pants for Spring

Tomorrow is April 1st and the weather here in the northeast is anything but spring-like. I'm hoping that one day soon warmer weather will be brought my way...until then, here's to daydreaming about spring.

This season everyone is talking about bright pops of color (particularly bright and bold pants). I will be the first one to admit, I do not own any colorful pants...but I do adore this trend. Colorful pants are a nice break from the typical blue jeans and I really think that it's a trend we should all try. Wearing bright pops of color like this just makes you happier, right? Hey, it puts a smile on my face.  :-)

Here are some of my favorite colored pants for the season---

BDG Twill Grazer Cigarette Pant available at Urban Outfitters- $49

Slim Waistband Crop Pants available at ASOS- $62.76

Tab Front Peg Linen Pants available at ASOS- $62.76

Broken-in Skimmer available at Gap- $49.50

What color could you see yourself in for spring?

Do you have a picture of yourself wearing this trend? If so, we'd love to see it. Just send a snapshot to snapshotfashion@gmail.com.

Times Are Changing...

Over the last few weeks a number of things have been changing in my life that I can't control (and I really don't want to bore you with the details). With all of these unwanted changes going on, I decided that maybe now is a good time to make a change that I can have some control over. A change that is long overdue. A change on Snapshot Fashion.

Yes, the layout is going to remain the same...basically because I don't really know how to change it, and I kind of like it as is. What will be changing is the format/postings/content. I have a few different ideas of the direction I want to take Snapshot Fashion in...but nothing is set in stone. If any of my readers have suggestions, please leave a comment or email me and I'll take everything into consideration. Snapshot Fashion will still be a shopping/fashion blog...but hopefully these changes will make it more enjoyable to readers.

Get ready for the new and improved Snapshot Fashion within the coming days. And thank-you again for your readership and support!!!

Ladies Wear Lace

First off, let me start out by saying that I am BEYOND happy that spring is here! Even thought I know it is suppose to be cold again this week (and maybe even snow?!?!), I'm looking forward to packing up my winter wardrobe and making room in my closet for my spring clothing.

A huge trend this season is lace. Don't worry, we're not talking Madonna circa 1985. Small details of lace...keeping looks delicate and feminine. I feel the key to wearing lace items are to keep it simple and not over do the lace. You do not want to wear lace head to toe...that look is not going to work on anyone. So please, save yourself the embarrassment.

Here are my favorite lace looks that I feel are super wearable on everyone.

Delicate Contrast Top available at ModCloth- $34.99

Lovejoy's Tea Room Dress available at ModCloth- $47.99

Bird Print Skirt available at Forever21- $14.80

Nyara's Reign Lace Black Skirt available at LuLu's- $36.50

Bodyshaper Lace Trim Cami available at New York & Company- $19.95

Joie "Fanny" Lace Top available at Bloomingdale's- $198

Lace Shirtdress available at Delia's- $44.50

How are you planning on wearing lace this season???

Trend Block

Spring has almost sprung. So that means that now is the time to start preparing your spring/summer wardrobe (if you haven't already). One color that I love for springtime is yellow.

Afraid of looking like a lemon? Don't worry. Snapshot Fashion has you covered. Below are some of our favorite yellow pieces---

Alexi Freeman's Stardust Film

You may remember last month we featured designer Alexi Freeman and Alexi's AW11 collection, entitled Stardust. Well...we have more news on this collection. Snapshot Fashion received an email from Alexi about a new fashion film that was made for the collection. Sequins, stripes, beautiful dresses, and stop motion...it doesn't get better than that! Check out the fabulous film below...and be sure to check out Alexi Freeman's website here. 


No Home STARDUST from Tom Blachford on Vimeo.


About the film---STARDUST is the first collaborative film co-directed by fashion designer Alexi Freeman and photographer Tom Blachford. Exploring the ALEXI FREEMAN AW11 collection of the same name, STARDUST takes you on a fun and frivolous interstellar journey as the two...-tone stardust sequins central to the AF AW11 collection are personified via the cinematographic technique of stop-motion. Comprising literally thousands of still images, this experimental short film is set in a surreal lunar landscape, where time and space have dissolved and the laws of nature are defied as the heroine (Kate Peck) traverses space in search of the must have garments of the season. In a fantasy world where to die for accessories and out of this world garments can be willed into existence, Kate navigates her way through space with only the stars to guide her; winking, clapping and clicking her way through a selection of the ALEXI FREEMAN AW11 STARDUST collection. This film was part of a project called No Home.

And The Winner Is...

Thanks so much to everyone that entered the High Gloss Fashion sequin dress giveaway. Only one could win...and that winner is: Lynda

Lynda, I'll be contacting via email. Congrats!

For everyone else, stay tuned every Friday this month for another giveaway!

Lovely in Lilac

I have been dreaming about lilac dresses ever since I saw Mila Kunis in her fantastic Academy Awards gown on Sunday. This purple hue is so soft and beautiful, and the lace is so lovely. This dress is definitely my favorite look from the Oscars...and not just this year...but probably of all time!

I know that lilac shade is going to be a huge color for spring. I remember back in high school I had an adorable lilac suit (cropped jacket and mini skirt...very 1960's inspired) that I wore all the time. How I wish I still had it. Well, looks like I need to get a lilac outfit into my wardrobe. Here are some great lilac dresses that would look great in your closet (and mine).

 Asos Mesh Waterfall Babydoll Dress- $71.72

Ruffle Dress from Delia's- $44.50

 Elizabeth & James Foliage Priscilla Fringed Silk Dress from The Outnet- $375 $187.50
