Celeb Style: Kim Kardashian in a Little Black Leather Dress

Kim was sexy as ever in her leather LBD she wore to a recent appearance. She’s just one example that goes to show that leather is not just for bikers, goths, or cold weather. Leather, real or animal-friendly-faux, can add just a bit of edge and sex-appeal to an otherwise lady-like look. See our selection of faux leather pieces at Posh Shoppe! http://www.iheartposhshoppe.com/product_p/d41b.htm

Trend: Peplum

The general consensus: everyone loves peplum! It’s an ultra lady-like and feminine detail that plays up a woman’s hourglass figure, also making it perfect for curvy women. From Kim, and Emma, to Blake and Solange the celebs are rocking this style! We love how easy it is to style with a classy up do, heels, and a clutch. We are now proud to have the essential tank peplum dress at Posh Shoppe (iheartposhshoppe.com) in three hot hues!

Celeb Style: Harem Pants

These roomy at the hips and fitted at the leg pants are a dressy and hip alternative to your skinny jeans, as styled so tastefully on these celebs. Kim wore hers with a simple white blouse, tucked in, and with her pants pulled higher at the leg. Or try it with a loose, shorter chiffon top like Beyonce. Wear them with a fitted jacket and strappy heels like JLo did this past week.  Styling key: PLAY WITH PROPORTIONS! If you are wearing a baggier bottom, they give shape and definition to your top, or your wrists and ankles with bangles and sexy shoes. How are you going to wear yours?

SPORTY CHIC

This is fashion’s tribute to the surf industry, sunny California, and everything cool about being tomboy. High-fashion designers such as Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Cavalli, and Alexander Wang  had sporty chic looks on their Spring/Summer 2012 runways. See how we were inspired in our collection, with our neon hues, streamlined shapes, cut-outs, and texture mash-ups.

CUT OUTS

Designers are cutting into their garments, and adding sheer texture, or simply letting some skin peek through. But, there is something in common— that is, cut outs are not about revealing, but rather accentuating shape, and simply alluding to what’s beneath. How is that for true sexiness?

We are proud to feature sheer, cut out looks as well, that compliment and celebrate the woman’s shape: Retro Mod Mesh Back Plunge Front Dress, Sheer Sweetheart Faux Leather Mini, Retro Mod Puff Sleeve Dress with Mesh Cut Out LBD, Neon Print Halter Dress with Bandage and Mesh Details.

We love this clip from Vogue.It! Filmed and styled especially for plus size women. Take spring styling cues from this clip, such as color blocking (look 1), texture (look 2- sequins!), and pattern play (look 3). Of course, looking this good does not require a ticket to Italy and spending all your euros; Find similar looks for less!
