FASHION PICKS: FLOWER POWER!

Thursday, June 12, 2008

flowerpower.gif

Florals are in…surprise, surprise - or as Miranda Priestly said “florals? For spring? ground breaking”. Naturally, flowers bloom for spring and summer time so designers brought plenty of the prints to their collections. A number of celebrities are pushing the trend, wearing elaborate and chic floral gowns on the red carpet like Kerry Washington, Iman, Tracee Ellis Ross, Terri Seymour and Joy Bryant.

Here are my picks online to get some of you ladies on the flower power movement. Hope we don’t attract too many bees with this one…

Everything that celebrities wear aren’t necessarily cute. I’d rather not walk around looking like the drapes on the sound of music!! Not the beat.

I always thought floral prints looked better on petite women. I’m too top heavy for all of that.

7.

what you know about that

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

I love these dresses! And the top shop stuff is cool but the exchange rate is a killer if you live in the states.

Could you have found more fashion for less picks stateside. Exchange rate is killer with the economy as it is…plus shipping.
Your pulse on fashion is great but more realistic alternatives for buyers are needed for this post at least.
BtW love the Balenciaga dresses on the side I also Love their mix of tribal&gladiator boots/ heels.

I only like the short yellow Balenciaga (spelling) dress. Some of its cute but some looks like old fashioned drapes.

The one Meagan are using has an african gear look, but I bet if that was an African Designer creating, she won’t be using, or better yet African American woman wouldn’t be using it WAKE UP PEOPLE and later on want to talk bad about white people
“you must first respect yourself in order to be respected”

Peace and Love

Not feelin Joy Bryant and Tracee Ellis Ross dresses but the rest look ok, I don’t think I am into the flowery look, it seems to old to me like Auntie betty 41 would wear that style or something.

love Tracee’s style. I like the zip jackets by topshop, but I think the way it’s presented…like a wild spray of flowers…makes most of the stuff seem ugly. it’s not your fault, though…it’s just one of those trends that needs a body to make it work.

I don’t really like FLORAL PRINTS it reminds me of OLD WALL PAPER AND OLD PEOPLE Hence the ladies expect (Joy Bryant non-dressed a$$) are all OLDER.

I just bought the guess shoes and I did not pay nearly as much as you guys are advertising. As a matter of fact they are hotter in person with a gold metal heel and the shoe is white patent leather stacked I played 75% less than your price of 109.00 do the math. LOL
