Spring 2013 Trend Boards: Mixed Prints & Textures

With spring coming around the corner is it time to re-think the closet full of coats and scarves. Even for me who has summer weather year round it's time to think a lot brighter and even a little crazier for a different season. During the shows in fall 2012 we saw a lot of different trends from feminine tuxedos to Asian inspirations. One of my favorite trends for the upcoming season were the combined prints and textures. There is an unlimited amount of ideas you can come up with when thinking outside of the box like these designers did. Even if you just want to go with a crazy handbag or shoe with a more neutral outfit you will be one step ahead in the fashion world for spring. Whether if its snake print with leather on a dress or florals on a snake textured shoe, designers are thinking of what has never been done before that will draw in consumers to a new day in age. 

Take a look at some of my favorite looks from the runway and spring 2013 look-books to get ideas for your own closet!

Scarlett Johansson Takes on Vogue

With her divorce from Ryan Reynolds I saw Scarlett slowly diminish from the spotlight. Without expecting it, she is back and better than ever, even with a new romance. She is co-staring with Chris Evans in The Avengers, taking after the comic-book. She speaks of how she has grown through her divorce and different steps in her career. She is now dating Nate Naylor, and advertising creative director and is taking things slow. What makes this cover story is not the interview for me, but the pictures. She looks absolutely stunning to say the least. They dressed her in dresses of different shades of champagnes and blushes. She takes on a Marilyn Monroe look for me with the short, waved platinum hair and slight curves. From Dolce & Gabbona to Nina Ricci fashion editor, Tonne Goodman, really did a fabulous job.
