Opposites of Spring

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Colour or black & white? This spring we’re seeing a lot of both. Of course there are the floral patterns, a staple for this time of year. This gorgeous spring dress is the perfect example. At the same time we’re seeing a lot of minimalistic black & white items, such as this black skirt paired with a casual white tank top. Both of these looks are from Agent brand Mink Pink. Which side will you be on this spring? Maybe a little bit of both.

Pale Denim for Spring!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

It seems like everybody is making a statement with denim these days, and the latest in a long line of denim trends is the light wash jean. Cool and casual, this look is perfect for the lightness of spring. Pair them with other washed out colors, like in these looks from Blank Denim, a great NYC brand at Agent 99.

Pixie in Lipsy

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Check out British singer Pixie Lott wearing a new spring season Lipsy dress & studded biker jacket! She wore it celebrating her 19th birthday, and she looks amazing IMHO. Mixing the flowy lace dress with a biker jacket – quite the contrast but it definitely works! We’re seeing lots of light colors and girly-girl lace for spring this year, and Lipsy is one of my fave UK brands. Agent is going to have some great Lipsy items for spring that I can’t wait to get my hands on.

Spring Awakening: New Decade, New Style?

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

We’re barely a month into winter, and already spring fashion is on everyone’s minds. It’s only a matter of time before the spring issues of our favourite fashion magazines arrive at our doorsteps. Is it just me, or does spring fashion tend to start earlier and earlier every year? Is this because we’re constantly craving more? We all want to be ahead of the crowd – to be the trendsetter rather than the follower. Is this what fashion is about? Showing off our status?

To me, fashion is about individuality. It’s about taking risks and discovering who you are or who you want to be. It’s about innovation and creativity. The best part about each season is trying to figure out what designers are going to come up with next. There are always similarities, but every outfit can be put together in a different way. It’s that newness that makes it so fun.

Well, out with the old, in with the new; it is a new decade afterall! I can definitely promise lots of news & information about spring fashion in the coming months. I’m just as excited as you guys are to see what is coming to Agent 99 this year!! The weather outside may be frightful, but spring is on its way!
