LaPazions, I guess you can really guess what is on our minds here at Lapazimageing Fashion Forward? It’s the beautiful weather that is soon to be here and the gorgeous spring/summer fashion trends that we keep speaking of are starting to make their appearances everywhere! Yeah, and now we’re going to give you the accessories that you need to complete those fabulous spring fashion trends!

This spring/summer you need to get ready to have a nice little collection of jewelry pieces from tribal, gem stones, feathers, multi-rings, bib necklaces and much more. There is jewelry for your hair which was very hot on the runways for this season; I’m always thinking of the next hot trends when I start purchasing my pieces and what can carry over from one season to another. I find that many times if I look back on past trends from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s I cannot go wrong because the retro feeling is something that we all seem to fall back on in this industry we just polish it up and make it feel new.

Like for instance the bib-necklaces are huge this season, but what makes them standout even more is the detailing and the different strands and colorations that are being used:

I know the details are totally stunning and the gem stones are still in line with the seasons trends. I love that the necklaces can be worn with several different outfits and you can take almost a very basic look and dress it up even that plane v-neck Tee can look fabulous with one of these necklaces.

Now don’t be afraid to bring color into your accessories because even this seasons color pallet is on track with the accessory lines.   From the neon’s, lemongrass, emerald’s, pinks the full spectrum is open to your selection:

Have you started to plot out your shopping trip did you get your notebook out and start making little notes of what are needed to take your spring/summer wardrobe to the next level? If not let me give you a little more inspiration-fabulous ear cuffs! Yup, that’s right floral ear-cuffs are a very hot trend this season and matter of fact I picked up two new ones today and cannot wait to start rocking them on a regular with my new hair cut. Ladies, this season is all about the luxury of being a real woman and knowing that you can take these looks from day to night:

Remember in the 90’s how popular the ear cuffs were and it always made you feel just a little bit more edgy when your rocked them well, now they are really beautiful and have such amazing delicate details. The next trend for the season is the very, very large and ornate earrings (side note: Ladies if you don’t have a nice neck meaning a long neck please don’t try this look-and please don’t go extreme like we saw during Fashion week) We have a slight alternative that will still give you that big drop earring but doing it with a little more taste:

TeardropEarringDianeVonFurstenbergTeardropEarringThe hammered metal is still a very hot trend as well this season and it looks great in silver or gold. Make sure you will the tones that will compliment your particular skin tone and we’re not speaking of the color of your skin; we’re speaking of the undertone of your skin. Need help figuring that out then you need to contact LaPaz Image/Event Consultants for a free consultation to learn more about this bookings: dwelsh_lapazimageing@yahoo.com

Maybe you love the tribal feel, well lets just say your going to love having the feather earrings, spikes, fabrics in multi-colors and much more. I loved the look on the runway and I think with some of those fabulous maxi dresses in my wardrobe this look will bring a little ethnicity and culture to my look:

25e985b0e3ca98ba3bd94ed5aa45ea9587fe032da796f722e84f35a61779c2fa

Gorgeous!! I love the energy of this season very free and expressive. Now some of you may like this look of the snakes and being that they have blinged them out is another great reason to wear this reptile other than on your shoes, pocketbooks and belts:

d7400b04b7aa83d44c825eb3d7ecf71b

Look the best thing about this season is that you can mix and match rock what you feel is going to be hot and not even give it a second thought. We have so much to select from that I could keep on telling you about these hot accessories and it would take me forever to cover all of them. I’d like to make mention of one last trend that we loved for this season is the hair jewelry which was very romantic and had a very soft sex appeal to it. If you do this look just so you’ll be the talk amongst your friends and associates:

Well, I hope this has inspired your spring/summer accessory for this season and we cannot wait to see what you all will be rocking and how you will be styling your wardrobe for this amazing year! As always we tell you to enjoy, explore and try as many looks as possible and those that work keep them and those that don’t let them go no matter how hot the trend is.

Hey LaPazions, its funny when you walk the streets of Paris you really can see and feel the influences of the Designers and the culture that lives and breathes amongst the Parisians. Their style is so different from anything that you see in the States; Parisian just own these very unique individualized looks which is incredible hot!

Prime example is this trend of pattern on pattern; and I don’t mean little subtle patterns-I’m speaking of big, bold in your face:

paris-street-6-9_213735444034.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2

Look at her she is owning this look form the leggings, to the bold top and bottom the chunky peep-toe shoes and then the cigar style handbag. We loved it, because not only was she very fashion forward, she was classically chic and even Vogue got in on this look and claimed it as a style savvy move.

Next up is the Polk-a-dots and they put big dots on top of small dots and they don’t try to down play it in anyway what so ever:

paris-street-3-6_105405229938.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2

Look at the fabulous cut on this skirt and how much fabric; the skirt has beautiful movement, flowing and just has enough structure to not look too big on this young lady then she added the gorgeous top which is showing off her arms-This young lady just looks so ready to attend any fashion show, luncheon, date or whatever it is that is taking place. I love her hair and the shoes that she has paired with this look making statements seems very easy for those in Paris. Please don’t forget about the jewelry trends that they’re rocking from stackable rings to big chunky bracelets, metal cuffs that go up the arm the earrings that look like you have several piercings but its all and illusion:

paris-street-2-18_22374087385.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 img-parisstreet510_150919993097.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2

I’m so rocking most of the trends that I saw on the streets of Paris and I loved each one for the unique quality that it added to each look-It gave a very polished finished look and didn’t copy the next person. I’m enjoying the bold floral prints and the cute and every so stylish little clutch bags that the ladies spot and the logo’s on the bags are catchy and cute and expressive of your own style. I love that the clutch is almost like a little piece of art that the ladies carry:paris-street-7-28_154434260807.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 img-parisstreet515_150954844476.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-1-15_125913972973.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-2-1_223735293802.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-3-5_10540460960.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2

The clutch has been a major staple in the wardrobes of Parisian woman from the early 20’s on ward and they just know how to rock and wear them. I love the textures, colors and the feeling of each little bag and that the ladies are just so polished no matter what the look. Even with the oversized sweaters, leather jackets, oversized skirts to the full shorts no matter what the look they are embracing there true Fashionista style. Don’t leave out the architectural shoes we saw them on the runways and out on the streets of Paris:

paris-street-8-22_115545252693.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 img-parisstreet520_151003817699.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-2-2_223741975807.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-2-11b_223737235463.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-3-10_105356928855.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-4-1-FAVORITE_114153411690.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2 paris-street-6-11_213731109767.jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2

We feel that the Parisian’s have a real knack for style and that they really understand how to wear the different textures, patterns and they are not just wearing the looks they are bringing a fashion savvy and forwardness to each day. Loving this season already and its just starting!

Rita Ora-Don’s Elle Magazine Cover?

Yes LaPazions, you read this correctly-Songstress Rita Ora you know the ex-girlfriend of Rob Kardashian, the protégé of Jay-Z and singer of R.I.P-is on the cover and pages of Elle magazine. We didn’t believe it at first when we received the photos and the cover of Elle but, I guess Rita can say she has really made it! Rita is on the cover of the May 2013 issue of Elle for the Women in Music, but you know they give her much credit on being original with her urban 90’s look but, in all honesty she is just paying homage to the Madonna’s and Cindy Lauper’s and they paid homage to the Joanne Jett’s and Pat Benitar’s who really rocked this look prior to anyone else.

We loved the concept that Elle went with for the cover with more of a Latin feel but, funny thing is Ora isn’t Latin American. She was born in Pristina, Kosovo and was raised in London (funny little tid-bit right). Ora, is known for her blonde locks and the signature red lip and dark eyebrows and urban grunge but, for the cover she looks fabulous and we love how she cleans up:

Rita-Ora-Elle-1 Rita is really giving us high fashion on this cover and is able to pull it off without a hitch. The pose seems very natural and sexy without even trying then you go to the inside shots and they’re just as glamorous and fashion forward! We love how Elle caught her playful side and even gave this chic look a real edge for this edgy songstress they didn’t dumb her down in anyway what so ever and we LOVED it!!

Rita-Ora-Elle We absolutely loved the leather leggings and the peep-toe shoes and the leather fingerless gloves which gave this look a more modern feel and the fascinator was all the rage if we may say so ourselves. I loved that they put her on a latter and let the train of her gown take center stage on the next shot, Elle gave real thought to this fab photo shoot:

Rita-Ora-Elle-3 One thing I will say is for some reason I don’t know why but, she is really giving us or channeling her inner Rihanna, cause if you just took a quick glance at the photos you would think it was RiRi for a quick second. It could be just me but, even others on our staff felt the exact same way- We loved that Elle even caught her playful side with the Mickey Mouse ears it was so cute and we loved the energy:

Rita-Ora-Elle-2 Looking at Rita’s photos we can say if her music career doesn’t workout for her she can certainly turn to modeling cause she looks fabulous in each shot and is bringing that high energy, great face and attitude. We love this side of you Rita and think you can drop your stand by look and go more glam. Just incase you all aren’t really familiar with how Rita Ora normally looks here are a few shots of her:  

Rita-Ora-one-direction-conor-maynard Rita_Ora,_9_September_2012_(cropped) rita-ora-barclaycard-festival-03   As I stated she really cleans up well and we feel this R&B singer can really do much better than what she is giving.

Stepping into Spring/Summer-13 Shoe Trends:

Fabulous-Shoe-Night_thumb

LaPazions, when I was assigned this article I thought to myself the shoe gods must really love me!! I cannot begin to tell you how I was hoping to land this one so I could go to different stores and Designers to try shoes photograph them and just talk about my favorite pass-time SHOES!

14-women-love-shoes

I think women have had and obsession with shoes since early Egypt and it hasn’t stopped. Did you know that women’s shoes account for 60 percent of the $40 billion worth of shoes sold in the U.S. each year? Men’s and kid’s purchases aren’t even half of that-and most of the shoes women buy are totally impractical and uncomfortable (trust me I know first hand). Still we cannot live without our shoes and they look so good on our feet even if we can only keep them on for 2 hours.LOL!

This seasons shoes are just fabulous and bring in different fabrics, textures, textiles and colors and each pair is like telling its own story. First stop Vivienne Westwood, she’s offering the hot pop of color plus the fabulous fabric choices and the spool heal is comfortable and gives your foot a little more support. We loved the geo print fabric and brought great structure to this shoe:

ahead-trend-shoes-spring-2013--large-msg-135733165239 

ahead-trend-shoes-spring-2013--large-msg-135733166172

Don’t say anything about the foot in this shoe because we cannot help how high the instep is on this model, aren’t they gorgeous? We love the hardware on the shoe the hot trend of buckles and the ankle strap add just the right sex appeal. Another hot trend for this season is the pointed toe, which is beautiful it elongates the foot and gives that little toe cleavage, I love the colors for this spring\summer and still staying with the textures:

shoe-trends-2013-printed-with-metallic-accents Ballin-collection-colored-shoes-spring-summer-2013-4-587x440 pointy-shoes-400x400

We love the tips on the points and the different details that have been added. The colors and fabric choices are bold and the wet patented leather, plus all shoes now are taking a pointer (pun intended) from Alexander McQueen with the metal works and spikes that adds such and edge to any shoe. The next trend this season is taken right out of ancient Roman and it happens to be the Gladiator styled sandal. We saw this look a lot on the runways this season and I have to tell you; this look can be a little challenging to pull off. Ladies please make sure you do your homework prior to just running out and purchasing any of these trends and make sure that they complement your particular foot and leg:

spring-2013-shoe-shopping-gladiator-sandals gladiator collage Prime example of someone who really should have thought about this; is none other than Actress Anne Hathaway for her films red carpet event she decided to don the gladiator sandal and it just didn’t work:

spring-2013-shoe-trend-strapped-boots2 Another great trend you’ll see for this season is all the different mixtures of patterns and textures and color combinations. You know no-one does it better than Loubutin:

christian_louboutin_spring_2013_shoes_8 christian-louboutin-spring-2013-peep-toe-bootie Yup, I knew you would agree with me that there is nothing this Designer can do wrong when it comes to shoes. I love the zebra, teal toe, orange snake and the pink straps with the buckles pure genius!! Then how he’s designed the wedge it’s not so boring and the small details are what make this shoe standout. My love affair with this particular Designer just keeps on getting better every season, everyday that he is creating shoes that look fabulous on a woman’s foot!

These are just a few of the shoe trends for S/S-13- We also have a few fabulous looks from Guiseppe, that are giving us the stunning white collection with the metal detailing and the strappy sexy stiletto, which is ultra chic and such a timeless piece to add to any ones collection:

guiseppe-zanotti-spring-2013-Shoes-New-Trends-8 guiseppe-zanotti-spring-2013-Shoes-New-Trends-4 guiseppe-zanotti-spring-2013-Shoes-New-Trends-7 Now we don’t want you to think we’re just bias and cater to ladies that only wear heels. Just for our ladies that cannot or will not wear a high heel don’t worry the shoe goddesses have heard your pleas and they have something just as cute for you to rock as well. From hot colors to metal works to just kicky little shoes to flit around in you’ll look just as Fabulous as our high heel girls:

No matter what your craving is for shoes this season offers a little bit of everything and the hot color trends that were covered in our previous articles trust and believe us they have you down and ready to rock your style for this S/S-13:
