Brights Up


Are you in the mood to spice up your wardrobe with bright colors this summer? Well, if you are this is the post for you. If your closet current holds dull colors such as black, dark brown, dark gray, it's time for change. Let's switch to a more vibrant, live, and energetic you.


It’s the bright colors such as yellow, blue, green, pink, orange, and red that's making it on the shelves and racks of retail stores. Even in the fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Cosmopolitan models are showing off the bright colors in the magazines as well as on the front page of these magazines.


I have been shopping lately and I just could not resist the trendy bright colors that have everyone wanting to buy them. My favorite store that I choose to shop in is Charlotte Russe. Charlotte Russe have all possible colors in clothing, shoes, jewelry, belts, and underwear. Sometimes I do not know what shirt or pants to choose because I want them all.


A post entitled The Bold & The Beautiful by Virenda Mendoza, gives a few examples of the bright colors by providing pictures of shoes, handbags, and belts. Ms. Mendoza also assures you that these bright colors will be back every spring and summer so don't panic.


I think everyone should head out to the stores or shopping malls and buy bright color clothing to spice up your summer. I already have my bright colors, so when are going shopping for your brights?

The Couture Collection

Is there a story that each fashion designer would like to tell? Is there a story that lies within the fabric or is it how the clothing is made? Well Christian Dior answers this question without any hesitation.

During Fashion Week in Paris, Christian Dior unleashed his storyline couture collection of spring 2007. His wonderful collection leaves you with a sense of taste for colors, style, trend, and culture. His Japanese, geisha style clothing are not your ordinary clothes that you would wear everyday. Dior’s couture collection is based more on a business wear to formal wear. The shapes and forms of these dresses are magnificent and they are nicely designed with the right fabric. Not only are the dresses and two piece suits are extravagant but the models are also into character and I think they did a wonderful job portraying the memoirs of a geisha.

Throughout my life I have never seen a collection well put together as this one. I don’t even have to mention the dresses, take a look for yourself. Each of these dresses has a unique story to be told. Fashion Nation shows a recap of Christian Dior’s spring 2007 as he defines the collection as superhuman.

Alexandra Suhner, London editor of Fashion Trendsetters claims that Dior’s Couture collection possesses stunning shapes and hand-work, beautiful embroideries and beading, amazing shoes, stunning colors, fantastic hats, unbelievable make-up, and an astonishing theatrical set.

These couture dresses and suits are quite fabulous. I wish I was able to buy one of these couture dresses. Would you wear one these suits are dresses?
