Stoned Fashion

dress monochromatically

Last week I covered 15 items you should have in your wardrobe for Spring that make over 20+ looks 47 to be exact. Using the items from the 15 items wardrobe, I wanted to show you two outfits that utilize the concept of wearing one color aka dressing monochromatically.

When you wear one color, you immediately add more polish to your look. I do want to dispel the myth about needing to have your colors match perfectly though. Matching exactly really only matters if the colors are the same value. Wh

Prada Menswear SS 2012 – Sportingly Superb!

Zara Slattery — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:22:18 +0000

Prada has always been a luxury label that I have enjoyed watching expand on its empire ever so cautiously. With the husband and wife team behind the helium tank, this incredible company has always peppered its cutting edge tailoring with modern essence to give its loyal followers exceptional collections year upon year.

Almost 100 years ago, Mario Prada and his brother commenced ‘Prada’ as a leather goods shop. Fro

How to Wear Roaring 20’s Trend

Zara Slattery — Mon, 07 May 2012 05:29:10 +0000

One of the major trends of the season is the influence of the 20’s. For sure you have seen movies or photos from that period and you know what it really means – regarding fashion of course. Although you may think that you can pull off just any clothing, keep in mind that this is also influenced by your age.

Being in your 20s

The flapper dresses hit the runways during this season and this may be the perfect piece of clothing for the girls in their 20s without having a vintage vibe that is too strong. The low waist dresses have been presented in numerous modern and unusual materials, including sequins and plastics. The

Fashion Inspired By Pete Doherty? Yup.

Stella Danks — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:07:42 +0000

Womens fashion often borrows ideas from mens fashion, but menswear-inspired looks are especially hot right now. And Im feeling it. Last week, NYC had some gorgeous spring weather and I busted out all my sundresses. But this week, it cooled off again, and I was happy to throw on a pair of skinny cords and a button up shirt.

Our friends over at College Fashion are feeling the menswear look, too, and theyve put together a few looks inspired by stylish Brit Pete Doherty. Check it out here.

In June this year, Milans Menswear will be rolling out an exciting runway across this stylish and classical European city. Designers from all over the world will be showing their menswear collections for Spring and Summer 12/13. As we all know, the northern and southern hemisphere always work 6 months apart. And boy is the southern hemisphere jealous of not being able to get their hands on the collections up north until latermuch later.

Brooke Trexler Photography in Colorado & Texas!

Patrick Kavel — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:10:05 +0000

I’m always thrilled to welcome a new photographer to the APW fold, particularly when they are as good a fit as Brooke Trexler Photography. Brooke is located in Denver, but she says, “I also travel for free to lots of locations in Texas when you book a full day package (basically anywhere within two hours of a major airport (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio), and at as low a price as I can manage to anywhere else in the country.” So Colorado and Texas, you’ve got your lady.

And Brooke Trexler Photography’s work is so lovely.

15 items, 20+ looks for spring – part 3

Stella Danks — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:04:44 +0000

In Part 1 and Part 2, I took you through the first 8 items that created 16 looks. Today, were looking at some more casual pieces that can work for non-dresscode workplaces or simply the weekend. The great part about this is that Ive added in some coral and orange which is the color of the year per Pantone and a color that is also everywhere in stores.

Beauty Review: Kiss Nail Dress

Patrick Kavel — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:29:56 +0000

THE HYPE: Affordable, quick, at home nail art that will impress all of your girlfriends.

THE TEST: See if we forget all about that favourite shade of traditional polish.

THE VERDICT: We are suckers for a gorgeous nail polish, but Kiss’ Nail Dress may have just made us converts to the nail sticker craze. We had seen the appliqués being sold before, but always thought they were just for kids or daring fashionistas. We were wrong! It took just minutes to apply these stickers on our nails. It’s so easy almost everyone can do it. Once you have pressed them all down you are done. You

Top Shoe Trends for Spring Summer 2012

Zara Slattery — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:44:00 +0000

When summer comes it’s not enough to have the perfect dress. You also need a perfect pair of shoes to go with it. In case you are looking for some new trends, there are some that we noticed on the runways and you can be sure that these will have a major influence on you.

Metallic toes

You may think that this trend will make the shoes tougher or less feminine, but the goal is different. This is a new technique that the designers are using to make the shoes more durable and in the same time, there is a major focus on the metallic elements. T

Plan a tame hen party that is fun for all ages

Zara Slattery — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 08:43:21 +0000

Alienating older members of a hen party is one of the chief concerns for a bridesmaid planning a weekend of spoiling the bride-to-be. Quite often the more mature aunts or work colleagues of the bride might feel left out if they’re not invited, so make sure you send them an invitation but don’t worry about censoring hen weekends for their benefit, help is at hand.

A tame and a wild hen weekend

One option that many hens are taking now is to have two hen weekends, a tame one and a wild one. For

Stella Danks — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 05:30:27 +0000

I’m forgoing today’s usual outfit post and instead, wearing a hoodie to show my solidarity with Trayvon Martin’s family and friends. Please post or tweet a picture of you in your hoodie with the hashtag #WYHWTM (Wear your hoodie Wednesday for Trayvon Martin) and spread the word about Trayvon Martin and the injustice that surrounds his untimely death.

Most of you have probably been following the news of seventeen year old Trayvon Martin’s tragic murder in Florida, and I hope you are as outraged as I am. Read more…
