After 4 days of Fashion Week, I’ve been spotting a wave of sleek or textured leather dresses. Designers have been surf on the Spring 2010 trends (Celine, Karl, YSL, etc.) with either sexy black or brown vintage-ish leathers. A fabric which I believe is more appropriate for Fall/Winter, no?

The Superbowl is – probably – the biggest and most celebrated day in America. Hard to miss the exhilirating craze on this Sunday with everyone giving support to its favorite team, cheering with pitchers of beers and dismissing his food diet for a day. On the fashion side, we already have a winning team and MVP when looking at Alexander Wang’s classic football-inspired collection for this Spring 2010 which has led to a large victory per the critics and fashionista ecstatic reviews.

If you want to dress on a Football-istic note without having to embrace the sportswear look, you can also get your hands on these cool accessories.

If you are done with skin tight leggings, I’ll probably give you another one last reason to try something that will get your skinny dream back on. The Australian label Black Milk creates some funky and shiny skin-tight leggings, that will visually catch everyone’s attention. The sprayed ones are awesome, they will make you fly to the Moon.

When we all thought the fedora was dead after the last Indiana Jones movie, the famous hat is still an accessory that endures across the seasons. Usually men’s favorite millinery, on the Spring 2010 runways I’ve seen fedoras all over and stylishly designed to freshen up your head. Not only intended for men, I’ve spotted some fedora on collections for women on occasions. From the beachside to the office, there is a fedora for everyone.

After looking at the Spring 2010 boards of collections I’ve been wanting for a couple of months to share this trend I had spotted on the runways. For Spring, designers had had a fascination for youth, not to mention it in a perverse way, but the iconic Lolita spirit was definitely around. With a combination of provocative little-girl frocks, quirky embellishments with floral or crystal embroideries, and innocent accessories like the bow-tie in the hair or the Chanel clogs. Pastel and bright colors, animal and floral prints were all over the place, designers pulled off extremely well what could be the summer’s “heat”.

Yesterday, watching this amazing team of male aerobic dancers performing back in 1987 just made my day. I am a terrible dancer, but come on! Who would not want to have the balls to make these hot push-ups…at least back in the 80’s. Anyway, what a coincidence I found this Etsy list of items that reminded me of the movie Flashdance. Perfect your gym attire with a vintage spandex body suit, your yoga wrap and a pair of leg warmers all packed in an old-school neon sports bag.

Interesting match-up of floral prints and patterns.

Louise from misspandora.fr definitely knows how to pull these boots off. Love the shoot that reminds me of movies I used to enjoy when kid, swashbuckler movies like The Three Musketeers or Cartouche were my favorites among others.
