Spring 2015 suede: Skirt / Handbag / Shoes

Suede is one of those fabrications normally associated with fall clothing. Despite this association, designers have decided to break the stereotype and use suede in their spring 2015 collections. This nod towards the 1970’s inspiration found in many designers spring 2015 collections, is a soft and refreshing take on spring fabric.

Although not dominant in New York, suede was favored by Paris and Milan designers on the spring 2015 runways. This soft fabrication found in both real leather and faux, offers a vintage vibe reminiscent of the 1970’s. So many spring trends tie in with suede including fringe and boho-chic.

Suede can be found on everything including shoes, handbags, jackets and skirts for the spring 2015 season. I found a few fabulous suede items around the web for spring 2015. I hope you love them for spring! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Perforated leather has a been a runway trend for the past few seasons. As some designers channel 1980’s and early 1990’s looks, perforated leather has made appearance on runways in New York, Milan, Paris and London. For spring 2015, designers have taken the trend and moved forward with it as trend setters on the street have demanded more of the retro style.

Perforated leather gives off a very 1980’s Pop vibe when shown on skirts, jackets, vests, pants and shirts. When shown on handbags and shoes, perforated leather offers a fresh and modern take on warm weather fashion. Although clothing and accessories in perforated leather come from the same designer’s studios, they offer different vibe’s. 

When wearing perforated leather this spring season, pick one perforated piece and style your look around it. If you wear two or more perforated pieces at the same time, it will be a fashion fail. Don’t want that do we!!! Yikes!

Which vibe are you? Are you into the 1908’s Pop look or are you going for more of a fresh and modern look this upcoming spring 2015 season? When you answer that question, you will know which type of perforated leather piece to shop for this spring season. Personally, I already did the 1980’s Pop look in the 1980’s, so I will be going for a more modern look with perforated shoes. I just need to choose the perfect pair!

I found a few fabulous perforated leather pieces around the web for spring 2015. These pieces are beautiful and perfectly on-trend for spring. I hope you love them!

fringe for resort and spring 2015

Fringe was a huge, up-and-coming trend in 2014. For 2015, this boho-chic trend is showing no sign of slowing down; in fact, it is speeding up! Designers have taken a fancy to the fringe trend and are adorning everything we can think of with strands of leather, fabric and more! Handbags, shoes, clothing, accessories and jewelry are being shown with fringe elements on them. From small fringe touches on the side of a handbag to all-over layers of fringe, the trend is taking the fashion runways, and streets, by storm.

The fringe trend comes from the boho-chic trend which has faded into a personal style look; rather than a front and center runway crowd pleaser. While flowing boho-chic silhouettes are not front and center, the fringe, flowing element is; and it is one of the more important trends for 2015.

When wearing fringe in the resort, spring and summer seasons, wear one standout fringe peice and keep the rest of your look simple. If you are wearing a pair of fringe shoes, opt for a non-fringe dress and try to stick with solid colors; no prints. This will keep your fringe peice as the key element in your look. Love that!

Looking to incorporate fringe into eveyday wear? Look for a casual fringe handbag in a neutral color. You can pair it with almost anything in day-to-life and look like you just walked off the runway. Flat sandals with fringe are another, daily item you can wear in order to incorporate the fringe trend into casual, everyday styles.

I personally love the fringe trend and have been carrying this cute little handbag in black, by Rebecca Minkoff, for the past few months. I am looking forward to continuing to wear it into 2015. What is your favorite way to wear the fringe trend for 2015?
