A Year In Fashion - Trends

As 2010 is coming to an end, I was poking around on-line to see some of the biggest fashion trends we saw this season, from bedroom-inspired fashions to the classic tailored look. Everything came into full circle this year so take a look at some amazing fashion trends of 2010.

Spring/Summer 2010 was all about fitted, neutrals, classic basics, with a bit of bold patterns; Take a look at some of my personal favorites from Gucci, Prada and Thakoon:

Fall/Winter 2010 was all about velvet, cut-outs, big pants and sexy lace everywhere. Take a look at some favorites from Runways in 2010;

I, personally just wanted to thank everyone for an amazing year at Novellino. In 2010, we launched our Vintage Collection, which has become popular within the Queens community. The amazing success of Princess Street Promenade in July, thousands of people crowded Princess Street for entertainment, food and tons of great deals. This month, we launched our very own Jewelry Collection, months of calls to designers, late nights and a few bottles of red wine. This line is special because Tammy (the owner of Novellino) worked very hard on creating a line of pieces that are bold, out there and sometimes just crazy amazing beautiful.

Here is to 2011, fulled with so many surprises, I cannot wait.

Fashion Icon of the 1920's - The Little Black Dress

History:

The most well known fashion icon of all time(The Little Black Dress that is) started around 1926, was introduces to the fashion world by Coco Chanel. Published in the Vogue Magazine, was rightly predicted to be the dress that every woman in any social class would want to own.

Today:

Everyone one owns a black dress in one form or another. Not only does it go with almost anything you can find in your closet, but is greatly renowned a classic! You can dress it up with some pumps or dressing down with a blazer and wear it to the office. World's greatest must have is, The Little Black Dress, no doubt about it :)!

Wear it Right!

Jeggings are a mend of old style and new to create a revolutionary fall must have.With our love for the skinny jeans and leggings, this creation had giving us a little bit of both worlds. But the question is, how exactly do you wear them?

Jeggings are very versatile, because of their denim material, they can be worn as jeans. Jeggings can be worn casually with a t-shirt or even dressed up with a pair of pumps and a blazer !

Jeggings are so fitted and slim, they can even be worn with a long cardigen or a short dress without looking sloppy like you are wearing jeans.

TIP*  When choosing a pair of Jeggings, make sure that they suit your body type.For example, picking a darker pair not only slims your body but will go with almost everything; from a basic tee to a sweater dress.

Street Style - Paris 2010

Each week, we will be exploring the street style of everyday people in all of the most extravagant capitals of the fashion world. Paris, the number one capital ( in my opinion anyway) shows us the classic way to show you signature pieces, without over doing it!
