			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Memorial Day weekend and graduations are almost here, which means beach season is on its way!  What better way to get the summer started then with warm weather looks to get inspired by.  Whether you are feminine and sweet, classic or boho, there is a trend out there for everyone.</p>
<p>If feminine and sweet is your go to style then think pretty and fun prints, ruffles, and more on fit-and-flare <a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour/color-blue" target="_self">dresses</a> and colorful tops.   Need some ideas, how about a short, flouncy skirt that feels flirty and shows enough leg, or a ruffle one shoulder top, pair both with a peep-toe heel. Floral print dresses and ballet flats are also perfect pieces for summer.  If you want the ultimate ladylike options try giving bows, eyelets, and ruffles a try on tanks, dresses and skirts.</p>
<p>If you want to look timeless and stylish then you are a classic trendsetter.  Think cotton tops, a-line skirts and <a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour" target="_self">dresses</a> in nautical stripes, washed denim and more,  You can mix casual pieces with chic pieces for a polished look.  When picking the perfect classic look consider fabrics and colors, think white, navy, and tan in cotton, silk, and denim.  Statement bags and sunglasses are a classic girls’ best friend.</p>
<p>If you are more of a free spirit, fill your closet with maxi <a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/dress-6428?category=guest-of-wedding" target="_self">dresses</a>, skirts and denim shorts this summer.  Embrace print, color and detail.  Try abstract prints in bright colors and pieces with fringe and crochet.  Mix in a denim vest with a floral print maxi <a title="dress" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/dress-6428?category=guest-of-wedding" target="_self">dress </a>and frayed denim shorts with gladiator sandals and flowy tunic.  Have fun this summer and accessorize, you can never have too many bracelets, necklaces or even a statement scarf.</p>
<p>There are so many summer trends out there and not matter what your style is, there is something for you.  So wherever your summer plans take you, pack the right looks for your perfect weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring and summer are the seasons for so many outdoor activities, but they are also some of the biggest months for weddings.  As the invitations come pouring in and the cards all read different in terms of attire, it’s hard to choose the perfect outfit.</p>
<p>When the invitation says black tie optional and its springtime, opt for a<a title="dress" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self"> dress </a>that is a tad more formal than a cocktail dress but isn’t an evening gown.  You can choose a simple floor length dress but with no embellishments, keep it simple or go short with some beading, lace or other detailing.  There are some <a title="long dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">long dresses</a> with a matte texture or a casual neckline that are ideal for spring/summer black tie optional affairs.</p>
<p>Black tie weddings are hard in the Spring/summer seasons.   They usually call for long evening gowns, but lately women are wearing knee length or even short dresses to black tie weddings.  For a black tie affair the length is not as important as color.  Typically these types of affairs call for darker dresses with more luxe fabrics.  Long <a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">dresses </a>can be hot during the summer, especially if the wedding is outdoors, so a short dress is absolutely acceptable for black tie affairs.</p>
<p>Beach weddings are becoming more and more popular over the years.  They are romantic, fun, but also give women an opportunity to wear something flowy and fun to the wedding.  Heels are no no on the beach, so lots of girls are wearing maxi dresses and short <a title="cocktail dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-short-and-cocktail" target="_self">cocktail dresses </a>to beach weddings.</p>
<p>Most weddings are semi-formal, which means you should choose a <a title="cocktail dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-short-and-cocktail" target="_self">cocktail dress </a>for evening and a short dress for daytime.   If the invitation gives you no indication as to the dress code, this is your best option.   Look for the to the knee or short dresses in fabrics like silk, chiffon, satin with barely any beading.  You cant go wrong with these types of dresses for all special occasions.  The most important thing when buying a formal dress is buy something that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful.  You might not be the bride, but you can still feel beautiful when you get dressed up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every award season actors, actresses, producers, directors get a lot of screen time but what about the people behind the scenes…they win awards for costume and wardrobe but they deserve credit for setting the pace for <a title="fashion trends" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">fashions trends</a> season after season.  Think about how some movies have changed your outlook on fashion, from classics like Breakfast at Tiffanys to Atonement to Clueless and who could forget Sex and the City.</p>
<p>The opening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s has become an  important scenes, where Audrey Hepburn was seen wearing a black Givenchy dress that is now known as one of the most iconic items of clothing of  20<sup>th</sup> century and perhaps the all time little <a title="black dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-classic-black" target="_self">black dresses</a>.   In 2007, Atonement came out and given the movie had a bleak undertone showcasing life during World War II and after, Kiera Knightley made a showstopping entrance in a green silk dress that catches everyone eye, especially her love interest in the film.</p>
<p>Elizabeth came out in the late 90’s and consisted of over the top hairstyles, gowns, and make up that could make anyone swoon.  This movie showcased fashions for a strong, feminine, yet flirtatious women.    Elizabeth might have shown big dresses, but the 90’s would not be what it was without Clueless.  Clueless showed that knee-high socks, faux fur bags and big floppy hats were in style.  Alicia Silverstone’s character transformed people from<a title="fashions" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-classic-black" target="_self"> fashions</a> don’ts to definite do’s.</p>
<p>But all fashionistas watch one movie for the witty characters but for the most part it’s the fashion that keep girls watching Sex and the City over and over and over again.  The move revolves around Carrie Bradshaw, her love life and her amazing obsession with clothes and shoes.  She reunites with her love over a pair of Manolo Blahniks…what fashonista could resist.   Confessions of a Shopaholic takes its turn on modern style, with a flair.  Costume designer Patricia Field makes this film come alive with bright, bold colors and fabrics that are amazing.  Between the clothes, shoes, and other accessories, this movie is not to be missed by any budding style setter.</p>
<p>There a lot of films that have changed the way girls’ view fashion.  <a title="celebrity trendsetters" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">Celebrity</a> trendsetters come from not only what they wear on the red carpet, but from the characters they play in the films.  Next time you watch a movie, watch for the plot but also for the fashions, you never know where your next inspiration could come from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is in the air, boots are back in the closet and out come the spring floral <a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-guest-of-wedding" target="_self">dresses</a>, ballet flats, pastel clothing and more.  But this season is not about the outfit but the colors you choose to accessorize in.</p>
<p>Corals and orange shades have already made their mark in fashion, but this spring, tangerine is here to make an even bolder statement.   Wear tangerine accessories in small doses.  Try accessories like belts, bracelets, scarves, cocktail rings and clutches as start, but if you really want to make a grand entrance at your next event add a tangerine bibb necklace or floppy hat for the ultimate statement.  Another color that is new making a comeback for Spring 2012 accessories is mint green.  Pastels have always been a staple for spring clothing, but mint green has become the hot color of <a title="spring 2012" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-guest-of-wedding" target="_self">Spring 2012</a>.   This shade of green works well with neutrals and a mint green headband, skinny belt or bracelet is the perfect complement to any outfit.</p>
<p>If pastels are not your thing, then try royal <a title="blue" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour/color-blue" target="_self">blue. </a>Its bold, bright and the ideal color for almost any accessory.  <a title="Royal blue" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour/color-blue" target="_self"> Royal blue</a> is vibrant and creates a statement, so try minimizing it on your wardrobe and wear royal blue sunglasses, scarves, or shoes. No matter what you prefer there is a color out there to compliment every skin tone and add a little zest to your outfit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Girls search for <a title="fashion inspiration" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">fashion inspiration</a> everywhere.  Whether it is the runway, pages of your favorite magazines or characters on your favorite show, the trends are out there and its every girls choice to find the ones that work best for them.</p>
<p>One of the top places to look for fashion ideas and inspiration is on television.  From the characters on Gossip Girl, 90210, Revenge, New Girl and Pretty Little Liars the fashion trends are everywhere.  The cast of Pretty Little Liars kills it every episode with their Spring frocks and you can always rely on Gossip Girl to forecast the upcoming fashion trends.  During any episode of Gossip Girl Lily van der Woodsen, played by Kelly Rutherford is the queen of <a title="cocktail dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">cocktail dresses</a>.  She always looks polished, put together and on par with the seasons top trends.  From cap sleeves, to lace, to embellishments on her clothing, she always looks her best.   Serena, played by Blake Lively is always one step ahead in fashion.  Even in the rain she looks impeccable with an ombre rain coat and matching boots.</p>
<p>The CW is a home to Gossip Girl, 90210, Pretty Little Liars and so many more shows that girls anticipate week after week.  Hit show on the CW 90210 always guarantees viewers a chance to see top styles. Anna Lynne McCord who plays Naomi on the show, spends her days shopping and having fun.  She threw an event in a blue halter <a title="dress" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">dress</a> that showed one of spring’s hottest trends, maxi dresses and in another episode wore wide-leg pants and funky prints.  This signaled the return of 1970s cool.    Pretty Little Liars character Spencer, played by Troian Bellisario is always one step ahead shows off her legs in<a title="dresses" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour" target="_self"> dresses </a>and pulls in so many trends from colorblocking to socks and boots.</p>
<p>Zooey Deschanel is new to prime time television, but not to fashion.  Her New Girl character is is cute, girlie, and slightly goofy, but her fashion stays ahead of the game.  She has been seen pairing together emerald green and cobalt for a colorblock look and the perfect feminine spring look.  She keeps it causal most of the time in ballet flats, the perfect shoe for girls.  This years break out villain Emily Van Camp on hit show Revenge is no stranger to the spotlight and her closet is stocked with the season’s hottest trends.  She regularly wears lace a huge trend for <a title="spring 2012" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-faviana-evenings-glamour" target="_self">spring 2012 </a>and has closet full of little black and red dresses, every style setters staples.</p>
<p>So whether you are addicted to the CW, ABC Family or other prime time networks, the plotlines on these shows are excellent but it’s the fashions that keep girls tuning in every week.  So when you cant decide what to wear to your next event, turn on the television and let the inspiration flow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The temperatures are rising and girls are changing over from heavy clothes to fun, flirty, <a title="spring fashions" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-prom-2012" target="_self">spring fashions</a>.  But what trends will they be wearing.  Here are some quick spring ideas that every girl should add to their wardrobe.</p>
<p>After seasons of bright, glaring neons, its time to turn down the brightness and add some pastels to your closet.  The pretty pastels are a welcome addition to the bold color blocking that has been hitting the runways for the last few seasons.  Think sorbet colors, pretty pinks, lavenders, corals, and light shades of blues and <a title="greens" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses/color-green" target="_self">greens</a>.</p>
<p>Appliqués are a cute and fun thing to add to your clothing.  Add some to your pants, sleeves and bodices of dresses and tops.  You can add a monochromatic appliqué to fabric for a matching feel or a contrasting color to add a pop of something different and another layer of detail.</p>
<p>Classics are back.  Instead of mixing neon green with purple, try the old staple <a title="black" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-classic-black" target="_self">black</a> and white.  Want to add some color to the look, try a black/white/pink combination.   This is an oldie but a goodie!</p>
<p>Metallic’s have been huge and silver is a color that is here to stay, but not for clothing, but for your feet.  <a title="fashionistas" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">Fashionistas </a>everywhere have been wearing silver sandals, peep toe pumps and ballet flats this Spring and will continue to do so into every season in the near future.   They are a staple for every budding fashionistas closet.  They are perfectly paired with jeans or a LBD.</p>
<p>There are so many ways to express yourself this Spring, that venture out from your normal wardrobe, be adventurous, and try at least one new <a title="trend" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">trend </a>this season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring/summer is going to be a bright one.  Bold color blocking and bright pattern colors are everywhere, but that is not even the brightest thing for the upcoming seasons.  The sequins and glitz during the Fall/winter was very bright, so for Spring/summer we are taking it down a notch, but they will still shine.</p>
<p>Fall was a bit over the top with the sequins and blinding metallic’s, from reds to blues and lots of gold and silver.  Spring is all about subtle shine.  Try nude colors or pairing your sequins with softer fabrics like tulles and satins.   Wear metal accessories to tone it down and keep it simple.Spring/summer is a time for fun and parties, there is no better way to celebrate the season then in sequins.  Keep it minimal to keep it classy this Spring.</p>
<p>Peplums are also huge this season.  They are always pretty and the detailed waist is emerging as one of spring’s hottest most stylish statements.   Peplums accentuate your body in all of the right places.   A peplum blouse is perfectly paired with a tailored bottom, such as skinny jeans.  For a nighttime look layer a peplum cardigan over a basic tank and pair with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans.  Peplums are flattering and feminine perfect for any spring/summer event.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So whether you are channeling your inner Jackie O, Jessica Simpson, <a title="Kim Kardashian" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">Kim Kardashian</a>, Audrey Hepburn, or Beyonce, there are styles and trends out there to fit every personality.</p>
<p>If you are more of a Classic <a title="clothing" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-short-and-cocktail" target="_self">clothing </a>personality your style is tasteful and refined.  You tend to look at Jackie O, <a href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-celebrity-dresses" target="_self">Angelina Jolie</a>, Lauren Conrad, and Victoria Beckham for your fashion inspiration.  On a daily basis your wardrobe consists of neutral colors such as   black, gray, navy blue, beige, blush colors and clean straight lines in your clothing.   You prefer to show off your waist and not other body parts and wear clothing with a soft draping.   You keep it simple and classy and your favorite accessories are ballet flats, stud earrings, blazers, oversized sunglasses, and the perfect tote bag.   If you are feeling adventurous and want to branch out try adding some color to your wardrobe through your accessories.  Having an elegant and polished look is great, but make sure you don’t get caught in a rut and come off as too boring.  Try changing it up occasionally and add some twist and turns to your style.  Add a colorful scarf to your everyday outfit or some metal detailing on your ballet flats.</p>
<p>Jackie O and Lauren Conrad are not your style icons, instead you look to Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian, you are more of trendsetter than classic dresser.  You tend to be more adventurous, shop for new clothes consistently and purchase whatever catches your eye first.  You follow all of the fashion do’s and don’ts and know what is in style.  The trendy dresser is always glamorous and often feminine.  You see looks on the pages of a magazine and make them come to life.  Your closet doesn’t consist of the same things season after season, you are always rotating it.  What makes the perfect trendy girls outfit, how about platform sandals, leather leggings, animal print items, and skinny jeans in every color.  Try and define your <a title="style" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-short-and-cocktail" target="_self">style </a>and add more regular classic pieces to a trendy wardrobe, it will help differentiate you from the pack.</p>
<p>Don’t think of yourself as either a trendy dresser or classic dresser, don’t worry there are a ton of other <a title="fashion" href="http://www.faviana.com/catalog/category-short-and-cocktail" target="_self">fashion</a> personalities out there.  You could be a sporty dresser or urban dresser, maybe even a romantic.  Whatever your favorite looks are you are not alone, fashion is something every girl is trying to find her place in, and there is a place for everyone no matter what your personality is.<a href="http://www.faviana.com/spotlight/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/CELEBRTIY-DRESSES.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1143" title="CELEBRTIY-DRESSES" src="http://www.faviana.com/spotlight/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/CELEBRTIY-DRESSES.jpg" alt="" width="612" height="300" /></a></p>
