Hot Right Now: Denim x Designer collaborations

Posted on April 19, 2013 by lifestylebygoldie

As a further sign that denim rules the world, traditional jeans labels are increasingly teaming up with designers to produce covetable capsule collections. Two of the most recent are Liberty of London x Levi’s and Mary Katrantzou x Current/Elliott. The former is the perfect partnership between the gorgeous floral Carlin print and a classic American label while the latter includes Katrantzou’s signature prints for a more graphic look. I especially love the passport stamps on the Current/Elliott dress but what makes both collaborations so wearable stems from the timeless, casual appeal of denim.

Antipodium for Asos

Posted on February 27, 2013 by lifestylebygoldie

Sporty luxe, as exemplified by NY designer Alexander Wang, was a big theme during the S/S13 fashion shows. Although I love retro trainers, the best part of this trend is the use of mesh. Previously found only in high school gyms (remember those practice jerseys?), mesh has become a go-to material for shoes, tops and even dresses. Asos’ latest collaboration with London-based Australian label Antipodium features amazing court shoes with sheer mesh sides. Available in 3 color combinations, the heel is just the right height at 3″ to make them wearable and at £75 an easy way to dip into the sporty trend. While I teamed my black/cork pair with Uniqlo skinny jeans, the delicate stiletto heel lend itself to glam options as well.

Hot Buy of the Day: Prabal Gurung for Target lace blouse

Posted on February 11, 2013 by lifestylebygoldie

NY designer Prabal Gurung’s collection for Target has just arrived in stores and online (Prabal Gurung for Target : Designer Collection : Target.com.) and, in my opinion, it’s one of the retailer’s strongest collaborations. Inspired by love, Gurung’s pieces feature beautiful prints (“First Date” is particularly cheerful) and easily wearable silhouettes. If you only buy one item though, make it the lace-front blouse. White lace was a prominent feature on many runways from Vanessa Bruno to Roberto Cavalli but Erdem did it best by mixing this traditional fabric with bright colors. Gurung’s sulphur lace detailing updates the classic white shirt for warmer weather and is easily dressed up (pencil skirt and heels) or down (jeans and sandals) depending on the occasion. The best part is that it only costs $34.99!
