Spring calls for frequent bursts of color.Opt for a bright(pencil) skirt like this one.


Strong yet Soft.Always try to "balance" your outfits.i.e if you're wearing a tight shirt wearing a loose pair of trousers,jeans,short or skirt.



Hmm,The statement necklace is calling your name.Give in.

The Girl of the week...

Is

Name: Samantha

Age: 15

Where are you from: Michigan

Describe your style in three words: Quirky, Ironic, Girly

Quote to Live by: Be an individual, because being different is always better than a uniform society!

Fashion is....spontaneous! You never know what you're going to feel like wearing. My style always adjusts with my mood, so I tend to base my fashion preferences off of that. Some days I'll want to wear the brightest of yellows, and other days i'll feel like wearing black!!

Your style inspiration/icon: My Grandmother. She always had the best clothing when she was my age and she still continues to dress with class and style to this day. Without her dressing me up in little hats and bows, I would be lost in fashion.

Your favorite piece is...my great-grandmother's wedding ring that got passed down to me. Clothing wise, however, I love my vintage floral dress that was given to me by my mother for my birthday. I can't resist the sailor-esque collar and the little flower print!

What are your TOP 3 spring/summer must haves? Gladiators, floral skirts or dresses are my ABSOLUTE must have, and I've been searching for the perfect pair of high-waisted shorts!

Any shout-outs? Shoutout to my friends, family, and Bianca from Upside down!! Love you guys!

Isn't she as cute as a button?

Talk of the Town : Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent dies

One of the most influential and brillant designers of the 20th century,Yves Saint Laurent has died.The legendary designer will be remembered for empowering women through his fashion, a longtime friend and associate said.

Saint Laurent died Sunday at his Paris home following a long illness, said Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent's business partner for four decades. He was 71.
From the first YSL tuxedo and his trim pantsuits to see-through blouses, safari jackets and glamorous gowns, Saint Laurent created instant classics that remain stylish decades later.

When Saint Laurent announced his retirement in 2002 at age 65 and the closure of the Paris-based haute couture house, it was mourned in the fashion world as the end of an era. His ready-to-wear label, Rive Gauche, which was sold to Gucci in 1999 for $70 million cash and royalties, still has boutiques around the world.

After retirement, Saint Laurent spoke of his battles with depression, drugs and loneliness, though he gave no indication that those problems were directly tied to his decision to stop working.

"I've known fear and terrible solitude," he said. "Tranquilizers and drugs, those phony friends. The prison of depression and hospitals. I've emerged from all this, dazzled but sober."

Possibly his most famous design:
Mondrian" day dress, autumn 1965.YSL took a spin of the classic 60's dress by color blocking.

Sad.
