# 11 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show


I'm sure almost every girl spent last Tuesday night watching the 2011 Victoria's Secret fashion show. I know I did and I loved every second of it! I think it is one of the most entertaining fashion shows because it's so glamorous and all about the beautiful Victoria's Secret Angels having fun. The models looked gorgeous, the music was great, and the costumes were wonderful!! My favorite Angel by far is Adriana Lima <333

My favorite part of the fashion was when Maroon 5 performed Moves Like Jagger on the runway.  Not only do I love the song, but I am in love with Adam Levine!! I loved seeing him and his girl friend Ann Vyalitsyna on the runway together. They were so cute and I almost melted when he kissed her cheek. Check out the performance:

#8 Video Lookbook


Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2011 Video Lookbook

Lookbooks are great for designers to show off their fashions. It also gives them a way to attract a customer base, while showing them how to pair their outfits. I like this lookbook video because fashions in it. I also like this video because of the beachy setting.  I think the dark drab beach gives the video a special ambiance.

#7 Trunk Shows

Trunk shows are becoming extremely popular.  It's a great way for vendors to present their merchandise to store personnel or select customers.  This allows people to be able to purchase and preview the collections before it is made available to the public.

A trunk show I would love to go to is Jovani.  I love their evening dresses and I think it would be so fun to see their collection up close.  If I had a special occasion to go to I would definitely wear one of their dresses. Here is some information on their next trunk shows.

Viktor & Rolf Runway Show - Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012





I love Viktor and Rolf's runway shows.  I think they are both geniuses and are extremely creative.  They both are very detail oriented, which is displayed in all their runway shows.  Everything is very theatrical, which is what I love about it.  I love this particular show because it starts with the two girls standing tall and singing, then their dresses open up to reveal the runway show.  I love the colors used in this collection as well.  There's a lot of black and pink and those are two of my favorite color combonations.

#5 2012 Fall Colors

One of the most important parts of fashion is color.  Every season we see new colors flashing down the runways.  It's imperative for every fashionista to stay up to date on the color trends.  That's why I am going to share the fall 2012 color trends with you!

Warm Palette

For fall 2012 there has been a tremendous use of warm colors that are inspired by the '70s.  We see colors like red, fuchsia, maroon, raisin, pumpkin, orange, tangerine, and mustard. Pure red has become one of the most used colors of this season, while different tones of orange are becoming popular as well. My favorite out of these colors is the raisin. For me, nothing screams fall more than that!!    


Cool Palette

The cool colors this season are still holding on to last seasons cobalt blue, while ink is increasingly being used as both base and fashion colors. We are seeing a lot of different shades of blues.  The colors for fall 2012 are chartreuse, O.D, Emerald, Periwinkle, Petrol, Cobalt, Ink, and Purple. My favorite color out of the cool tones is emerald.  I love the way it pops and I'll be sure to be using it in my wardrobe!!
