Spring RTW 2013: Versace

Well this season the trends are clear... peekaboo cutouts, bermuda shorts, lace trim, blazers, geometric designs, and statement sunglasses.  Who took stole the show this year? Versace. Hands down.

 I’m in love. I have never been so excited about a runway collection. Donatella hit the nail on the head.  Does she live in LA these days? Because my fellow Los Angeleons are also going to fall in love, and don her digs to Coachella and festivals round the globe.

ßThis dress is F*ing gorgeous. May I live a hundred years and never eat again…this was one of the most stunning looks on the runway. This dress is trend perfection. Geometrics found in the peekaboo cut—gorgeous lines, flowing fabric, beautiful natural ocean blue and gold color with 70’s vibe. The name says it all—desert goddess.

**Note: I actually hunted online to see how much damage my much coveted dress would be… $10,996.00 (did I mention this is in EU?) 

It beats the price of her fringe tye-die garbadine dress at $32,306 EU. 

 News/Gossip/Buzz:

Damn you Heidi Klum! Not just for being 40 and hotter than most 20 year olds…I just discovered that she wore exclusively practically this entire collection at the 2012 MTV EMA awards. So jelly.

  

Jessica Biel also took notice as she also wore my favorite dress (this time in a dark grey color) to the premiere of her new film ‘Playing for Keeps.”

Jennifer Lopez wore the collection for her February 2013 Harper Bazaar’s cover story.

…Well, it’s good to know great minds think a like.  ;-)

Gladiator shoes aren’t going anywhere. In fact, they’re being taken up a knotch and brought to new heights. Wish I had splurged on those 2012 Herve Leger pair I was oogling last summer—turns out they would have lasted the extra season and been the perfect accompaniment to Versace’s 2013 Spring Wardrobe.

I love the sexy silhoute that strappy neutral heeled sandals give. Classic in my book for making legs look mile long

Cross-body bags –perfect for dancing!

Extra long black blazer to cover up—classic rocker chick look

Hair and Beauty:

Don’t toss those bottles of spray tan just yet! These girls are as bronzed as always. Makeup is sun-kissed face with black smokey lined eyes.  Hair is natural, center part, and 70’s stylin
