Reem Acra Resort 2014: Living the High Life

Wallflowers need not apply for the Reem Acra Resort 2014

collection. Made for a confident woman, this collection is filled with sharp sheaths, decadent gowns, and plenty of lace and embellishment. The palette has plenty of black and white (a continuing theme for the season), along with pale nudes, bold primary colours, and even a dabble into jewel tones. The emphasis is at the waist with slim belts on trim dresses, fit and flares, and red carpet-worthy ballgowns that nip into Scarlett O'Hara waistlines. Flashes of sheer illusion netting add plenty of sex appeal to cocktail and black-tie styles. Click through to see the full Reem Acra 2014 Resort Collection.

Miranda Kerr Leads the Model-Off-Duty Pack

Of course, models look amazing on the runway, but it's their off-duty street styles that we really love to see. Each girl has her own aesthetic, and we love them all for different reasons. We can thank Kate Moss for proving that leopard goes with everything. We count on Miranda Kerr to sport the most killer accessories and we look to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for her effortlessly styled layers. As always, Alessandra Ambrosio puts a sexier spin on casual cool, and Gisele Bündchen makes even jeans and t-shirts look high-fashion. There's more inside — like Cara Delevingne's punky Brit-girl style and Karlie Kloss's take on the classics — so keep clicking to see all our favourite models and their top street-style moments this year.

Chain Store Steals: Window Pane Prints

The black and white colour combo doesn't look to be abating for the season ahead, so strap in for a chic-looking Summer! The best way to wear the trend, in our humble opinion, is to forgo the colour-blocking of seasons past and look for modern monochrome prints and patterns. Top of our must-buy list is something (heck, anything!) in a window pane print. It's a simple way to work the look without going OTT on the theme. Our favourite six chain store buys are waiting for you beyond the break. .

Fashion trends in 2013

Whether we choose to consciously compute the fact or not, how we look does impact the way we feel. It may be that we dress to a theme that evokes a mood, that we choose to pull on something that incites a certain confidence within us, or that we – for no definable reason at all – simply fall in love with a particular piece of clothing or accessory. Either way, the reality is that a large part of how our style evolves each year has to do with the clothing, hair, beauty and accessory trends sweeping fashion, sweeping the runways or the magazine pages or the streets. Not because we have to follow them, but because they inspire us. Each year we analyse what’s happening in the fashion world as a way to understand where the trends are coming from, where they’re going, and – should you so choose – how you can adapt them to your own personal style, in a

way that suits you.

I just got back to New York and it's so wonderful to catch up with the Advanced Style Ladies.  I even had the pleasure of seeing Lynn Dell two days in row! It's hot and muggy in the city, but Lynn Dell still manages too look amazing in light layers, bright colors, and loads of accessories.
