What's New This Week at Life & Style? Couture in the City Fashion Blog














Life & Style has all the latest new trends and news on celebrity style and more! This week, Life & Style reports that baggy jeans are all the rage again...good news for curvy gals like me who just couldn't rock the skinny pants look. Check out these four styles and where you can find them. You can pair baggy jeans with everything from dressy tops and heels to casual tanks and sandals.














Lean and leggy? Here's your chance to show off slender, toned thighs and calves with the hottest trend going in frocks; babydoll dresses! The temperature is raising and so are hem lines, but just beware, don't go too short if you are self-conscious. Stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Petra Nemcova make this look super hot by pairing super short hemlines with extra tall heels for a fabulous silhouette.














Life & Style brings you 7 trends in 7 days again from all of your favorite stars. See what everyone from Kelly Rowland to Paris Hilton and back wore last week so you can emulate their celebrity style. The general consensus? Green and white casual dresses are HAWT.














Never got over wearing fun graphic tees? Not to worry, they are back for spring with a vengeance, and Life & Style tells you what the hottest selling ones are. Stars like Lindsay Lohan have always been fans of the graphic style, and now you too can find out where to find the hottest tees.













It is my happy duty to report that leaf accents are totally hot this season...I absolutely LOVE leaf accents. Whether you like island style leafs or more of a "ladies who lunch" look, anyone can easily incorporate a little bit of the outdoors into their daily fashion regime. Check out Life & Style for all of this and more and be on the up and up with all the newest celebrity fashion news.

White Done Right, Couture in the City Fashion Blog


















Nicole Richie


















Katherine Heigl

Who cares about the time honored tradition "thou shalt not wear white before labor day" (or is it after?). I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of the whole white jeans look...it reminds me too much of middle school and is just way too risky when Aunt Dot comes to visit, if you know what I mean.

However, there is nothing more polished than a crisp white dress and nothing more stand out and feminine than a snazzy white suit. But you have to know how to rock it.

Nicole Richie pairs her formal white dress with a pair of equally formal red satin heels for the perfect balance of trendy and classy. White or black shoes just wouldn't have worked here, and metallics are SO 2006...love it.

Need a more casual look? I love what Reese Witherspoon did with her white eyelet dress...a sweet cardigan, flats and fun accessories make this a great look.

So, this spring, we recommend a basic white dress for any occasion (well, not any occasion, not at weddings, but that's obvious). Check out the Love in Numbers dress from Misile for a simple yet stylish piece that will flatter almost any figure.




















Love in Numbers dress by Misile $180.00

Baby Blues and Florals for Spring, Couture in the City Fashion Blog


















Hilary Duff (source)


















Kahri Hibiscus Ruffle Tube Dress $80


















Kahri Hibiscus Boyshorts $24

The verdict is in...the hottest new color of spring is baby blue. Whether used sparingly on interesting accents like Hilary Duff's killer Miu Miu heels or full-on in a fun and flirty dress, baby blue is the new black for this spring.

Florals are also always fun for Spring, and Kahri gives their motifs some extra mileage with sweet ruffle detailing. Check out Kahri's complete line for hawt indie fashion designs you can't find just anywhere.

So, if your wardrobe is feeling a little blah and you want to spice up that black and white ensemble from your winter wear, add a dash of baby blue for a springy look. Not ready yet for baby blue shoes? Try some blue beads, a baby blue clutch, earrings or a tank peeking out from underneath your top.
