Some Peplum in Your Step

Happy Valentine's Day! I know this day isn't liked by everyone right now, but I just want you to know that I seriously love you and am so thankful to you for taking time to read this blog! On that mushy note, here is a feminine trend that you might want to sport today. Peplums, a gathering of fabric around your waist, are making a come back on the runway and the streets. They were most popular back in the 1940's when women had teeny tiny waists. The designer detail made women appear to have fuller hips.

If you already have a curvacious figure like the lovely Marilyn Monroe or Beyonce, this trend isn't for you. Well, unless you would like to accentuate your hips all of the more. For someone like me, with zero hips, I find this retro trend appealing.

Designer Down Under - Jason Brunsdon

I've been trying to learn more about designers that aren't always front and center like Anna Sui, Vera Wang, Stella McCartney...I came across Jason Brunsdon. His new collection is very feminine and I'm loving the shorts with heals!

Designer Down Under - Juli Grbac

Winner of Project Runway Australia, Juli Grbac has got talent!!! If you like simple, sexy and feminine clothes check this designer out! It's weird to think that Austrailian designers have just shown their collections for Spring 2010, but it's a breath of fresh air after seeing loads of photos of 2009's fall fashions. Juli Grbac's new collection is all about the neutral colors with a bit of bling to catch your eye. Check some photos out...
