Not only do I regard swimwear and resort shopping a yearround activity, I love mostly the pin-up girl style of the 1930s and 1940s. NICOLITA is a swimwear line a started and led a by a Cali girl who set out on a quest to discover her Cuban Roots. An Emmy winning documentary about her search and the line is touching. And shows that fashion can be so much more that simply what meets the eye, it is deeply embedded element of culture. The pieces are irresistably cute and made with curvy girls in mind. The Cuban-style bottoms are a signature part of the line with a no-pinch fit, an elastic band that doesn't dig into the hips, wider coverage around the hips, and shirring on the back that contours the behind and creates a flattering heart-shop backside. The Senorita Solids Off the Shoulder Crop Top is a great option for the top heavy girl who wants a sexy yet conservative option as an alternative to the default full coverage one piece.

Re: Shop Net-a-Porter

The former creative director for Emanuel Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar created an amazing collection exclusively for NET-A-PORTER.COM. We love! Cortazar's metallic ankle cuff sandals are definitely a stand-out shoe for this season. All the tailored pieces are versatile and a great addition to any wardrobe. The stretch crepe minidress is a great base to dress up or down for any occassion, smart piece! The goat hair and wool-blend coat is the perfect statement coat for this fall, and the single sleeved asymmetric cutout leather dress (available in white also) definitely takes the LBD to a whole other level, KILLER!!

**For a closer look at the collection, go inside Estaban's studio with blogger Rumi Neely FashionToast

An Ol' NAAASTY Makeover!!

First off, let it be known that I LOVE all things Beyoncé! But I admit I haven't paid any attention to her clothing line, House of Dereon let alone visited the website in years. That was until today when I saw a cute leopard skirt on my Tumblr feed and took to the website for more info. And I didn't see a pair of bootylicious jeans in sight. To be honest *in my best Funky Dineva voice* it looked like House of Dereon got an "Ol' NAAASTY Makeover!! Yes Gawd!!" The lookbook immediately put me in the mind of Nasty Gal. I am huge fan of the California based on-trend online retailer as I find myself ordering from them a little too often. I think it's safe to say they definitely have emerged as a leader in setting trends in their niche of e-commerce. I think a remix is in order. Who runs the the world? Nasty Gals!!

Runway Inspiration: Playing It Safe

The New York Times called the collection "Safe Stripes", in other words-- Nothing New. Zzzzz... But there is no denying that Michael Kors is a commercial genius and always spot on the trends. I admire him because he is 100% true to his American aesthetic. While working at Michael Kors I came to appreciate the fact that everything was always easy & efortless. Now that we are on the cusp of fall and already looking at Spring 2013 shows its easy to get lost in translation. I always love it because the best end of the season sales are now and I not only use spring shows to see what's next, but to get inspired for the Right Now. I believe in carrying pieces into seasons and mixing it all up. So as I came across a cute skirt on Gilt.com today, I immediately thought of the MK show from earlier and how I'd I'd style the skirt. So there you have it: Safe collections can inspire you to stay on trend without being too trendy.
