I hope you don’t mind me calling you that. It’s one of my terms of affection for ladies I love. (Hey, at least I didn’t call you 'Booger Butt', that’s what I call Joe as a sign of affection)…
I have been shopping, salivating, and admiring what’s hot and happening lately in fashion and accessories. I’ve also been wishing I had more money because a girl could do a lot of damage with a blank check and all the juicy treats to be had right now in store windows. Because I can’t wait to join you for PMStyle starting March 2 as your new host, I thought I would share what I’m seeing, what’s happening, and what is downright wicked cool. (Especially since it’s exhausting keeping up with all these trends on your own. I mean c’mon, a girl has a life to live, kids to feed, pets to let out, jobs to work, corporate ceilings to break through, dreams to chase, wounds to heal. Who’s got the time to be a slave to the Top Ten trends?? I got you) Starting Marc h2 at 10pET (new time) tune in to see our new set, our new show, our new everything. And get ready for quirky, spontaneous, real-deal, down to earth, ridiculously fun and candid moments of shopping pleasure. Plus, just really cool stuff!
Ok I’m big on, “make it short and just give me the straight scoop, the bottom line!!”…so here are the top trends this 2015:
1. Jumpsuits - they are everywhere! The fit can be tricky when slipping into one singular pull on garment. But I just bought two jumpsuits and Walter Baker for QVC makes an adorable one. They are the ultimate in sport lux. They are basically, the pants version of a dress. Fear not. Its fresh, easy and amazingly easy to look “plugged in” with a jumpsuit. Plus, I consider it a romper, like the adult version of footie pajamas-All in one dressing .. but delightfully tres chic.
2. Culottes - baby, short pants are back! When ELLE mag and the Wall Street Journal are smitten, well, need I say more?
3. Sneakers with sequins and gemstone / rhinestone studs - athleisure just got blinged!
4. Shirt dresses - I have always loved these, kinda like getting permission to wear your husband’s dress shirt, out in public
5. Fringe! Bows! Chain! Oryany, Tig, Prada, GILI, Gucci…bows on bikinis, pumps. Fringe oozing from messenger bags, and leather jacket
6 Studs!! On bags and shoes, it’s insane! Pointy little studs that are at once punk and then again, chic. YSL, Rafe for QVC…everyone is showing studs!
7. GREY!! Word is, grey is huge. (Yes I know they keep saying the color of the year is actually ‘Marsala’) Isaac calls it "Grey-ge" as in grey married with beige. Elephant. Dove. Smoke. Call it what you will, grey is indeed, the new black!
8. Ponchos - Vogue and others say these are Indie-chic-boho-folk. See Layers by Lizden, Lisa Rinna, Louis Dell Olio...
9. Black & White - Black & white is having a real moment this year. And this season!!
10. Gingham! - This is not your 'Dorothy in Kansas' Gingham. Check out Joan Rivers doing Gingham for QVC. And Isaac has a cardi coming soon. At runway, Dolce and others are showing the glorious ‘G’
So gorgies (short for gorgeous women), i must slumber. shopping and trend-tracking is exhausting. Plus, tomorrow is Spring Accessories Day on QVC. 24hrs, lotsa Spring loot. Isaac and others would want me at my best. (although I am secretly dreaming of the tortilla chips in the cupboard and wishing I could stay up late to indulge)
