Blue and white, its been here a bit and its not going away

Its true ladies and gentlemen, the nautical style of blue and white has been here for the last few summers. I actually love it, so I am not complain that its here again for summer. Though this year they designers and stylist are trying to put a new twist on this style. Instead of simple Blue and white color blocking in dresses or pairing a blue top with white pair of pants they are creating patterns of blue and white. 

Here are some pictures of this look....
enjoy Kitsune63,
Hope everyone has an amazing friday

                                             got to love the sailor hats!

Off with her Head!

Yesterday I was watching the movie with Kristen Dunst as Marie Antoinette. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, which gives the movie a vintage and indie feel to it. I wont lie to you, there isn't much in the way of plot but the costume design is deadly, they gave it their best in recreating the french style during Marie Antoinette day before she lost her head. This did win an academy award for best costume in 2006, which if you see the movie you will understand. The bright color concept, little modern twist in the costume are cute and hidden. Once again because this is more a fashion movie, with little plot. I strongly suggest that you watch this a group of girls, no straight men would be happy to watch this movie.

Enjoy on this lovely thursday, Its a perfect watch on a gloomy wants to be spring day.

Wedding Gossip!

Due to some events that took place over the weekend, two of my great friends got engaged over the weekend. So in honor of them I am going to blog about weddings!! Yeah! I am so happy for them it got me thinking of weddings! I can say planning my wedding was the happiest time of my life and part of it were super stressful, though having amazing in laws help with stress and planning was a life saver and they were such a big help in planning, also great for ideas and be creative.

I am also that girl that cry at all weddings as well, cause I love being married and how much happiness it brings me.. Since there is so much in tail about weddings, I think I am just going to give advice about planning and prep. What my husband and I did was we got married on a beach in Ca and then a year later we had our wedding reception in our home with all of our friends and family. This was great for us cause it was cheap for us to get married in Ca and we had a whole year to save up for the reception. which was nice for our friends because we knew it was super unreasonable to have everyone fly out to Ca for the wedding. I had the drama of family wanting us to invite people we normally wouldn't care to invite, people wanting to bud in our planning, bad weather, along with worrying about family not getting along with the new in laws as well. 

So take your time planning this magical day, and its your day no one else. tell people this is your day and your are invited people you want to share it with, and people whom are a bit too willing to help can even cause you stress as well. So try and be polite letting them down but pick one family member whom wont let you down or stress you out along with that great friends that wont do the same.

I will leave you with amazing wedding dresses from Vera Wang, but before I do. I have one more thing to say. To my lovely ladies whom got engaged over this weekend. I love you both and could not be happier for you both. I hope nothing but the best for you the both you and your the men that proposed to you. I know they will treat you like the queens you are. I know this is a magical time for you both.


 Love Kitsune63!

what does spring mean?

Really what does spring mean, in terms of fashion? For the most part it means something fresh, new almost a mini Renaissance of fashion, but we do it every year. I know I covered several spring fashion show during new york fashion week. ( wish I could have been there in person) For me spring mean breaking out new styles, new trends. God know I am not ready for skinny jean to leave us, or leggings yet. I would be lost with out leggings I love them so. Though it makes sense to have new amazing ideas in spring, we are shaking off the winter coat, and most of the dark colors.  Which I know I am going to be shopping for some nice bright colors today, or some light spring patterns. Its hard for me to shake my dark colors off because I have always worn dark blue, gray and black. Well here we do with some bright colored spring inspired garments today. I will post my successes tomorrow if I am successful.

In honor of spring fashion here is some Missoni
Love

New idea for what to wear to a wedding, and not in rage the bride.

Spring and summer are the wedding season times, even I got married in the summer and most people I know got married in the summer. So you might want to get some in case wedding attending dresses. And the new trend of dresses to wear to a wedding is....black. Yes Black dresses to a wedding, I know, I know if its an out door wedding this could get hot. You for sure will not up stage the bride which is super important. Also its a dress I am sure you will be able to wear again and again, not some of those dresses we wear to weddings and we never wear again. A black dress is easy to dress up and dress down with heels or flats, helping keep a black dress alive in your closet til its time to let it rise again.
I know for some of you the idea of wearing a black dress to a wedding is unheard of, but I am from Chicago and black means chic and classy to us. So give it a try, rules are made to be broken as they say.

Movie review of Red Riding Hood....

To be Honest, its has a very Twilight feel to it, probably why I liked it. Ha ha. Also Catherine Hardwicke directed this movie hence the Twilight feel to it because she directed the first Twilight Though really I would not recommend bring ones Boyfriend, Husband or any straight male to see this movie. I saw it with one of my girlfirends and we both enjoyed it because it has romance, the plot has twist and turns that you think you can see coming but you don't until the end. I know I didnt but I was very distracted by the two male lead actors the Characters Peter ( Shiloh Fernandez) and Henry ( Max Irons) are very distracting when it comes to keeping up with the plot. Gary Oldman also plays a villein / want to be hero well. Since this is a fashion blog, I guess I should discuss the costume design. For those of us whom has read Grims Fairy tale of Red riding hood we know the symbolize of the red cape. Which comes in to play in the film when the Valerie ( Amanda SeyFried), also some of the cast has more modern styled garments while other cast member has more time period garments. Mostly the two hot male actors are wearing modern styled shirts and pants. Though the Women and including the main character are wearing corsets, floor length dresses that follow the time period. I believe they wanted to modernize the characters Peter and Henry to make them more appealing to the ladies in the audience. 

But I enjoyed it, but I also enjoy movies that are not Twilight one of my favorite movies this year was Black Swan, don't want you guys to think I only watch girly movies but once in a while I like a good girly movie

Fashion week in Japan has been canceled...

Not going to lie I am not surprised in this in the least that fashion week in Japan has been canceled, Fashion week is something that a city love, its really a week long event of amazing parties, and painting the town red. Last time a major city fashion week was canceled in was in New York 2001, which was in the month of September. This is clearly not the time for people whom where not affected by the Earth Quake, to have fashion week. Even if they were to donate fund to help out those whom were misplaces and devastated by the earth quake, its still not a good enough reason. All Major designers in Japan we love you and hope you are safe and so are your family and friends.

Here are some picture from older Japan fashion week, enjoy.
