Pussy bow here, pussy bow there, pussy bow everywhere! Pussy bow was trending far before Melania Trump wore it as a semi-political statement. Full name of this neck tie would be pussycat bow and it has a British language origin.

BRITISH
noun: pussy bow
- a large, soft, floppy bow at the neck of a woman's blouse."her somewhat formal style became more flamboyant, often featuring pearls and pussycat bows"
CROATIAN DESIGNERS
My favorite Croatian designer pussy bow piece is blackpearl by Sarah Lončarić blouse which I recently ordered. Sara also had oversized gypsy sleeves in her collection way before currently popular Mango shirt brought it into limelight.

STREET STYLE & HOW TO WEAR IT
On top of rather obvious 'schoolgirl' pussy bow look where you wear pussy bow shirt in black and white with a-line mini skirt, there are so many ways to wear a pussy bow top. You can wear it with high waist wide pants and a hat (70s style), you might wear wide pussy bow blouse with stilletoes and cigarette pants or pencil skirt for work and later with flats and leather jacket as part of afterwork more casual look.
I also like to wear it with a bow backwards on the back.
Here are some street-style inspirations:

Following my top four favorite resort 2015. collections shared in last post I continue to be delighted by versatility, boldness and wearability of resort 2015. collections. Gucci's beautiful resort 15' collection combines snake skin leather with florals, denim and gorgeous pastels.
Collection inspired by 70's features gorgeous python over the knee (on my 'want' list already) boots combined with below the knee floral or denim sleeveless dresses, as well as casual looks like floral bermudas worn with embellished or tie dye sweater.
Collection is rounded up to a whole with a couple of evening gowns embellished with metal piping, my favorite dresses are definitely pastel yellow sleeveless belted dress and beautiful white gown with open back and metal piping around the waist and neckline.
Resort collections are definitely becoming more and more popular, widely available and wearable across seasons, to bad prices are still very much in luxury range.

Seems like this Spring 2013.season started way early in stores this season and pushed out those Winter sales dressing us in Spring's beiges, whites, dots and ruffles already now when it is still quite cold outside.
Karl Lagerfled said couple of years back: "The future of fashion is 6 months" , I would actually upgrade and fast forward this statement saying that fashion industry now became such a fast pace industry that now with resort, pre-season and regular season collection launches it's turn around period is 2-3 months which is quite a big challenge both for creative teams but also sales and distribution teams.
This again leads to unavoidable trend in fashion which is - bringing back and upgrading traditional cuts, fabrications and patterns. After covering Spring 2013. color trends white & yellow, with this post I am covering polka dots trend which I like and can imagine myself wearing if dots are really small white on black and ruffles trend which for me is an upgrade of overused peplum trend in last two fashion seasons.
Here are some of my favorite polka doted and ruffled designed pieces with my absolute favorite being Stéphane Rolland, Gucci and Balenciaga.

All of you who followed Spring 2013. RTW fashion week know that yellow is the color which you could see appearing on almost every single designer show while few designers also followed 60's Mod trend.
Shift dresses and short hemlines were noticed as well and although mostly black and white this ray of sunshine yellow in most collections was definitely worth celebrating.
From lemon, to canary and mustard, and everything in between Spring 2013 fashion week was all about that yellow dress! Personally, I have worn some yellows, lately this were mostly yellow sweaters, cardigans or work out t-shirts but I didn't venture into wearing a full bright lemon yellow dress although I just might this upcoming Spring season! Honestly I can't wait for the warm weather which I think I might catch earlier this year as I;ll spend at least ten days per month in Barcelona, Spain. I better get some tan to make my yellow dress better pop up when walking on sunshine ;)
Will you dare to go full bright yellow ladies?
Here is my selection of fabulous Spring RTW 2013. yellows:

I asked you, my lovely followers on my blog's Facebook page recently what colors, smells, food and drinks remind you most of Christmas, Martina, Korana and Ana said color - red. I feel the same way. When I think Christmas, no matter how 'to be expected' and 'typical' it might sound I automatically think - red. Not so much Santa suite red and Christmas decoration red, more so Valentino silk or satin gowns red, Alexander McQeen lace and velvet red and sexy New Years Eve Chanel lipstick red.
Alexander McQueen
Currently I am addicted to burgundy lipstick which I just got from Chanel recently, it goes well when I want to add some drama to my day look and looks amazing with evening looks. I love to wear red maxi gowns with gold sandals or shorter red dresses with back booties.

That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”

Valentino
“As she always did on any really important day, Penelope
Hayes wore red.”

My suggestion is to overdose on red during holidays as this is and always be a stand out, 'all eyes on me' color, just be sure to be able to handle all of the attention red dress or detail will bring upon you ;)
What is your favorite red piece you own? How do you feel wearing it?

After I have seen every
single piece of every single pre-fall collection (and that’s a whole lot of
clothes ) I finally selected my absolute favorite designer pieces from pre-fall
2012 season, just in time for the new season coming up in just a couple of
days.
So here we go…
ZAC POSEN
Absolutely mesmerizing collection for me, a hopeless romantic and most definitely a princess in my
past life...featuring smart waist diminishing anatomical seaming on a wool crepe
sheath with designers current obsession being chinoiserie and the idea of
creating European couture shapes out of Eastern fabrics. My very favorite was a
form fitting olive color bustier dress with floral embroidery, a floor length
velvet backless dress with drama-mama matching gloves as well as dramatic red
and gentle lavender color red carpet gowns all modeled by gorgeously feminine
Hilary Rhoda. All eye-candies indeed!
MCQUEEN
The love of my life brand - McQueen's pre-fall
collection, now under the amazingly creative hand of Sarah Burton, featured a
number of gorgeous high-necked Victorian gowns; some with embroidered torsos in
floral prints, all in black mousseline, pleated smocked velvet dresses with
tulips and cropped pants with men’s wear-like tailored jackets topped with
white shirts - all absolutely sustained the legend of late Alexander McQueen’s
heritage.
BALMAIN
Balmain’s well known fitted
pants and jeans had the rips and wholes replaced with embroidery, pearls and
crystals, or loose pajama pants paired with oversized men's proportion jackets
– all in all, the collection feel was comfy but also sexy which is definitely
what market calls for these days: omfort, practicality and multifunction.
PREEN
Amazing prints and comfy, sportswear and effortless chic feel, all in lovely bright colors: orange and aqua blue is what
drew me to this collection. These memorable pieces can be worn together and separately, day to evening, which makes the collection quite sellable. Interesting prints
stays on couture side while simple cuts and comfortable feel brings the collection to
ready-to-wear customer.
ELIE SAAB
With a previous reputation of a
red-carpet designer, this Elie Saab collection carried a bit different theam, more down to earth one, featuring some simple suits and dresses in monoton shades with graphic feel and
with minimalist approach. Most of the suits and dresses had a modern, simple
and elegant cut. I love the nude, body fitted dress for work!
SUITS - YSL, GUCCI AND CHLOE
With many designers I have noticed
that collections were created with a modern business women in mind. Who I am
guessing has money and interest in today’s economy to buy latest but also
practical, comfortable and multiwear, classical pieces like these great suits by
YSL, Chloe and Gucci. YSL collection had some interesting bow-neck blouses and
matching blazers, bringing back the heel with a loafed from its 2005. Spring
collection.
On the other hand, Chloe
showed interesting pleated trousers with matching shrunken jackets and cropped
sweaters, coats with wide rolled-up sleeves on top of skinny pants. Finally,
Gucci decorated simple cuts with pansy print, which has replaced black and gold
bugle beads.
DONNA KAREN
Cropped styles
came paired with silk tunics and wool jackets with emphasized shoulders.
Mrs.Karen also showed coat-dresses, satin jersey with white jacket worn over a
bustier-top jumpsuit, and a big black bow. My favorite was a black and white
strapless piece, simple, but red carpet worthy on the right lady!
VALENTINO
„In this moment, when
everything is so hard—especially in Italy—it's important to give a good dream“–
designer Maria Grazia Chiuri said, referring to struggling economy in Italy.
Red is always a good choice! The collection focus was immaculate tailoring. It
featured small bows embroidered on the net bodice part of the minidress and
gentle lace added to chevrons on the top of a long black velvet gown.
