Fashion Transition: BCBGMAXAZRIA - Herve Leger (Pre-Spring 2011)

The time to update your wardrobe has officially arrived again ladies, we are now in the fashion transition period - from Winter to Spring, and today's Fashion Fix Scoop gives you a peak at BCBGMAXAZRIA's Herve Leger pre-spring 2011 collection.

There's nothing that catches my attention more than a detailed cocktail dress making it's way down the runway, which is why I love Herve Leger's pre-spring collection this year - I love the fact they've stayed true to their signature bandage cocktail dress and have extended them with more styles.

I got to see many of these designs last year during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week NY, and it's great that many of them are already available now! What I love about Spring is of course the color & metallics, but what I like about Herve Leger designs is that they're all formfitting for women but yet elegant.

The aesthetic I see from this upcoming Spring season has changed quite a bit from the current Fall/Winter season, the approach for the new season seems to offer more cutout v-neck dresses (many of which have the straps attached to the exterior of center bodice) with more simple designs, versus the more dramatic pieces this Fall/Winter which seem to revolve more around the current ruffle craze.

Take a look at the rest of Herve Leger pre-spring 2011 collection here, most of the dresses are currently available for online purchase, I would expect more styles added onto this collection for purchase as the new season gets closer.

Lindsay Lohan Scoop: From Rehab To Shoe Designer?

Today's Fashion Fix Scoop will take you into a world of drugs, sexuality, and shoes! - Wait a second, it sure sounds very much like Lindsay Lohan's world, doesn't it?

America's favorite red headed train wreck, Lindsay Lohan, is making another attempt at climbing up the market ladder - this time by creating "her very own" shoe line. 

It's no secret, there's been major buzz within the industry about Lohan - whether it's about the different types of drugs she's using, if she's really homosexual or not, or where she has been partying all night until after 3am.

Lohan has been in and out of jail/rehab all through out most of the year 2010 (her most recent stunt in rehab has been extended until early 2011) - This news may come off as an upper or downer to many people, it really depends on how the actions of the "has been star" rubs them (if they even do).

Lohan's shoe line will be added to her current fashion brand, "6126" - the shoes that she'll be "designing" are set to debut during autumn of next year, 2011.

Fashionably speaking, I'm not quite too thrilled with many celebrities who attempt to become "fashion designers" just to bring about their struggling-burned careers back into flaming light. Since Lohan has the ability to design shoes while in rehab, then I guess her drug treatment is going rather smooth - I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for her next relapse, which will most likely be the next "major scoop".

Trend Alert: Military Styled Denim Jackets (Huge)

Hello fashionistas, we are living in a mainstream world consisting of everything pop culture, where a trend can be hot now and cold tomorrow - which brings me to the discussion of the next pop craze,  denim jackets - military styled denim jackets. Today's Fashion Scoop will show you how celebrities rock the denim trend, while also pointing you in the right styling direction.

Celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna have both been fashionably guilty for wearing denim jackets while making many public appearances.


Rocking The Trend: 

Rule number (1): Never do double denim (ex. a pair of jeans with a chamboray/denim top). 


You're best bet would be to wear no other denim at all while wearing you're denim jacket - the point is to rock the current trend and bring out your edge with the denim jacket - forget everything else.


Rule number (2): Accessorize the trend, one must always remember to accessorize - a simple bracelet, chain, and handbag will kick some edge into your gear.


The best shoes for women to wear with this rock star image are booties with heels or knee-high boots that fold at the top.. Tip: Denim also goes well with leather and suede shoes.

Men can pair their denim jackets with khaki pants and leather sneakers, or military styled boots to match the image of the military styled denim jacket.
