The Kentucky Derby and Virginia Gold Cup was this weekend and fashion was out in full force. Floppy hats and pretty sundresses were gracing the horse races as were pleated pants and blazers. Lilly Pulitzer prints and Vineyard Vines solids were rampant on the fields. Here are some casual snapshots from Virginia Gold Cup to get our readers ready for spring and Preakness.
The Virginia Gold Cup is a century old tradition. Hundreds of people flock to the steeplechase at a chance of winning big at the betting tents. Betting tents were swamped with high fashioned, high rollers. Shawls and khakis were a perfect item for the day and sunglasses made an excellent statement infront of the gambling arena.
As expected, hats were the main attraction for the main event. Full sun hats or small fascinators were just darling accessories for the vibrant dresses. Bauble necklaces and chunky watches adorned necks and wrists this weekend as the food and beverages were plentiful.
The ladies looked spectacular on Saturday. A sundress was the look to love but some ladies wore skirts and rompers to mix it up. Urban Outfitters, Victoria Secret and Trina Turk dressed the ladies above. Fearless prints and spaghetti strap styles looked stunning in the daytime and transitioned easily to night with a cardigan.
Gentlemen wore a variety of fashions including blazers, bow ties and pocket squares. Bright separates looked stunning on the green this Saturday. Plaids and solid button downs looked pressed and perfect with bright pants and shorts. A belt and Croakies tie the ensemble together for these gents.
Bags and jewelry are a must have for any horse race. Pearls and monograms complimented more basic, white dresses and fun bags added color to others. Chevron was the print of the event and the Tory Burch brand was out and about this weekend. Wedges and flats go best for the occasion due to the grass floor.
Under the tent was an array of shoulder bags, belts and button down shirts. Keep an eye out for more preppy fashions at Preakness this month!

Featured on Alexa Chung on the cover of Elle and on the 2013 runways for the spring collections. There are a variety of styles for any fashionista who wants to take part in the trend.
Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Lala love this clear panel trend. These shoes allow the peep toe look to be fresh and pointed while supplying support to the side of your foot. This heel looks best in black but neons look stunning with a duller ensemble.
As with most trends, this one started on the runway. Chanel debuted this 2013 look for spring during their collection showcase. The look was shown with a clear strap and arch over the foot. The look has been copied in various ways to include a variety of colors and solid supporting straps. The most classic color suits this shoe best.
The clear panel heel has transformed into more vibrant styles. Neon pink, green and yellows look fabulous for spring. You can rock this look casually with jeans and a plain white shirt or dress up your little black dress. For the more adventurous dresser, spiked versions are available online and create an edge that you can die for.
The clear panel look also looks stunning on flats. If you don't like the heel look, clear panel flats are a fun daytime look that rock the trend. The shoes are minimalist and only cover your toes and heels. Be sure your feet are clean and keep your paneling out of dirt or grime as to keep the clear, crystal clear.
Check out the montage above for some inspirations for this week's trend.
April 22nd, 2013- Floral Nail Designs
Spring has sprung and we are finally seeing warm weather, sundresses and flip flops. What better way to show your favorite season some love than a floral manicure! Pastels are starting to be seen and floral prints are a long standing staple of spring. Here are some styles to try yourself.
Pink is always a fab spring color. The light pastel shade is neutral and goes with almost any ensemble. You can have a pink background and any color flower you want! Pink on pink is very popular or you can add in some purple for a complimentary effect. You can have one flower, a french ti or a finger full of a bouquet. Your choice!
Eggshell blue is also a great color for the new season of life. It represents the blue, clear skies around you. A blue background looks stunning with pink or red flowers. The green leaves also pop on a light blue canvas. Mix up your flowers or add more patterns for a funkier manicure.
By adding basic patterns to your nails, you can create a retro look to your floral manicure. Polka dots are a great addition to this style. You can add white dots to the background of your mani or you can go every other nail as a plain dotted nail. Stripes also add the same effect. Mix and match any way you want to.
Last but not least, don't be afraid to try new things with your nails. Try a color like hot orange that you normally would avoid. You can also mix your color palette to create a funky new look. Add a glue on flower for a really glamorous feel! Try one of the looks above to get in the mood for spring.
April 15th, 2013- Weekly Trend: Stomach Area Cut Outs
Midriff cut outs are this week's trend to watch. Either slits on the side or a peek-a-boo cut out to the front of your gown is flirty and fun for this season! This trend is racy and fun for formal or casual occasions. New York designers previewed this look for the upcoming season.
Celebrities like this cut out ensemble for photo shoots and red carpet events. Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and super model Miranda Kerr look darling in their front tummy cut outs and Jessica Alba cuts out the sides only showing a peek of her middle.
Two major dress colors are best for this spring trend: white and floral. The cut outs look best with these colors because your skin is better contrasted with these palettes. Any cut looks stunning with these frocks; you'll have to find the most flattering to your body type. Make sure the fit is right so the dress won't be uncomfortably fitted.
Long dresses also look darling with the middle altered out. You can find these gowns for formal events or just a chilly evening out. Cotton dresses are best for nice dinners and chiffon fashions are best for weddings or galas. The peek-a-boo show of skin makes this heavy fabric look much sexier.
You can select the look that best suits your personal style. Bigger cuts are more risky and bold for the more bohemian fashionista whereas the smaller slits are reserved for more conservative dressers. Neons and solid grays are available in this style and both are great for daytime wear. Find the color and length that suits you!
April 8th, 2013- Weekly Trend: Warmer Weather Vests
Vests are a hot accessory for the warmer seasons and this week's trend. No, not knit vests that layer and provide heat, but a light fabric open vest. Jean vests, specifically, are darling for spring and summer. The can look stunning over a casual dress, a short/shirt combination or a long dress or pair of pants.
The jean vest look creates a very hipster, alternative ensemble. This item looks stunning over a a light day dress. White and denim is the best combination but a flowing patterned dress looks great with jean as well. Pair this item with boots or a fun summer hat to create the ensemble.
Skirts also look stunning with the jean vests. Long maxi skirts or midi skirts look great with a cropped vest. Dark or light denim is an acceptable look for this trend. Pockets and vintage Levi's buttons make each piece trendy and chic.
Jean vests are great with solid pants. You should never mix jean with jean. Since this isn't the most feminine cut top, you'll want to wear solid skinny pants to compliment the vest. Long or cropped vests are both acceptable for the pant look.
Jean vests also look great with fun embellishments. Pearls, flag accents and crocheting are great accents for this trend. The USA style is perfect for a summer concert and is available at Forever 21. The ombre look is fabulous for a hot summer day at the beach. An embellished look is better over plain clothing. A little black dress is best for these looks.
Finally, if jean is not your fabric, there is a vest look for you. Suede, animal skin and cut off army jackets also make great vests. These more natural colors and fabrics compliment ethereal looks and are more bohemian than the jean vest. Whatever your style is, find a vest that works for you.

acrylics with these accents already fastened on are available for purchase
online. Try out Etsy for some suggestions.
Although you must be careful while
wearing the trend, the look is definitely worth being ginger with your hands.
This cheeky style is perfect for day wear to really show off your feminine and creative side. Small beads or even paint dots that resemble
pearls reveal your classier side where little painted bows and glitter can show
you’re playful and cheeky. Feel free to experiment and go crazy on your nails!
With so many ways to wear this trend, your hand is our oyster!
August 5th, 2012- Weekly Trend: Color Me Fabulous
Bright lips are this weeks trend to watch. This trend is
being sported by stars like Kesha, VV Brown and Emma Stone.
The brightest lips at the party are the biggest hit!
The crazy colors can be
worn in more traditional lip tones like pink and red or in more outrageous
shades like green and turquoise. The trend can be worn to more lavishing
occasions or for a flirty fun shock out in the evenings. Pick your own lipstick
to match an outfit or your eye color. At around $15 a piece you can give this trend
more than one try! Check them out at Kaoir.com
July 30, 2012- Weekly Trend: Dazzling Body Jewelry
This week’s trend has got us all wrapped up… in sliver and gold! Stars and citizens alike have been adorning unique body jewelry over clothing to show a creative flair for bling. Over-doing it seems to be the calling card of this fashion trend. Often paired with a more relaxed outfit, these pieces can range from $50-$200 range.
For those of you who are more thrifty making these pieces can be easily accomplished by a visit to a turnover store or flea market. Get in on the trend like Ashley Tisdale and Keri Hilson by shopping on Etsy!

A few pictures of normal people living in their neon lives!!
These shorts are soooooo creative! My Style Assistant knows someone who designed these and I thought they were amazing! The studs add a final touch of trend and style!
These leggings are so cute! The hot pink color instead of the typical white zebra stripe is so different! This picture was actually submitted, I would've uploaded the entire outfit, but the top was 'barely there,' in place of other words! Thanks for the submission!!

April 30, 2012- More Shades!!
[Cont'd from main page] I always tell my son, "Put Your Stunna Shades On!" and he's like "Mommy, stun shades" ... LOL! I got that saying from a song, and I love having a son so that he can say that! It's saying something like "swag" shades! Well, at least that's my take on it!

April 12, 2012- Keeping Up With The Kardashians ... Isn't a bad idea!
What don't these girls have?! Beauty, brains [they are SO business savy!], they dress their you know what off and they're oh so humble! I know I've said this before but that Kourtney K has taken over in the style department! While Kim has her signature looks that she can't go wrong in, Kourtney can pull off ANYTHING! She may be petite, but her body KILLS and she knows how to make anything look perfect on her! She never overdoes it! I love her style! Check out these looks and their inexpensive remakes!

April 11, 2012- White On!!
Lately, I've fallen head over heels with the color white! I've been buying it like CRAZY! A couple years ago for summer, I invested in a barrell of white tees and wore them with lietrally any and everything and just dazzling them with jewelry! I'm thinking of bringing that back for my Spring look! White jeans have also been catching my eye! They're so perfect! You can wear white for chilling, basic days, or dress it up for more fun!
Check out some of my faves!!!

February 14, 2012- Heading out Valentine's Day Style!!!
Heading out with your beau tonight?! This weekend?! Not sure what to wear!? Look no further! Here are some looks for every style type! Whether you're a chill dresser, or a glam girl! Using my favorite stylistas as your guide, check out some of these items as your choices!
Looks to Chill:
Kim K is the blazer QUEEN! Love this cognac mixture, however I think it'd be great paired with these Hudson Acid Wash jeans! I so love this wash.
Loose shirts like Rihanna is sporting here are PERFECT with a themed blazer! Perfect for a chill date, with a little play dress up! Blazers add the finishing touches to any plain shirt!
High waist jeans are PERFECT for an hour glass shape, and because this denim is long, throw on a classic wedge for a dressy look! This look is very casual!
Kourtney's look is similar to the high waisted jean- however, her flowy shirt and nude pump add a more dressy flair!
Looks to Kill:
Skirts are great! You're getting to do everything a dress does, yet with a little more edge and trend! Throw on some tights for more style! As you see, your tights can add so much 'umpf' to a look! And peep how shoe choice adds some spice as well!
While Rihanna could have threw on a brown or black knee boot, these nude pointed Loub's add SO much to this regular day outfit! They turned them into a 'night' look! Add a long necklace and a fitted blazer of any earthy tone and you're good to go!
February 13, 2012- My Baby's 17th Birthday!
Okay, so my little cousin who is my HEART celebrated her 17th birthday this past weekend! I got her a BANGING dress made, but I unfortunately got her the wrong size! Luckily, we had went out the weekend prior and she purchased a dress to wear on Valentine's day to school! She thought fast and said "I can wear the dress we just bought" ... and BOOM! Just like that, she had a dress to wear for her party! Although it wasn't fun, and girly, and hot pink- it was sophisticated and flaunted the new curves she's getting!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MO!
February 13, 2012- Mr. Campbell ... Jeffrey that is ;)
While it seems that lately Jeffrey Campbell wedges can be seen on 90% of young ladies feet across America, his brand has been around since his launching in the year 2000 [out of his garage- look at him now!]!! Known for his conceptual recreations of vintage style, colorful patterns and prints, daring heel shapes and sizes ... There's no question why he's on top of the shoe scene right now!
I'm not an overly trendy girl, so I try to stay away from brands that are everywhere, however, I HAVE to give credit where it's due!
Check out these funky, fabulous, 'strut your stuff' shoes!!
