Geek-Chic Glasses Are High In Spring 2011

Geek-chic is the new chic, at least for eyewear. From Diane Von Furstenberg's hippie round frames to Rebecca Taylor's bold retro shades, this season sees funky eyewear as the uber-cool accessory.

Cool enough for the red carpet even. At the recent Los Angeles premiere of "Rio", actress Anne Hathaway gave a nod to the geek-chic trend with a pair of nerdy specs. And we have to admit, those oversized tortoise-shell designer glasses really framed her gorgeous eyes in an adorable way.

To ace the trend a la Hathaway, wear geek-chic glasses with tousled hair -- super-neat buns or ponytails can look too secretarial. Also do be generous with your mascara, so your eyes won't disappear behind the glasses.

Ready to channel your inner geek? Here's how to pick your perfect pair:

Choose the right frames

• For a timeless style, opt for classic tortoise-shell or retro plastic white frames.
• Square faces: Go for oval and round frames.
• Oval faces: Most frame shapes work for you.
• Long faces: Tall frames visually help shorten your face -- avoid small frames that make your features out of proportion.
• Round faces: Angular and geometric styles like rectangular and cat eye frames make your face appear longer.
• Diamond faces: Opt for cat eye, oval frames and rimless styles.
• Heart faces: Go for bottom-heavy frames that add width to lower face, or narrow round frames that soften the forehead.

Cashmere Scarf: A Must-Have

Fashion has seen so many trends come and go. One minute we are aboard the bandwagon of wearing high-waist bottoms to wearing the latest items like bags, sunglasses and everything else that the fashion influencers can think of. However, one thing is for certain and that is that when it comes to accessories, cashmere scarf is probably one of the biggest must-haves that anyone could ever have.

A cashmere scarf is one of the most important tools of the fashion world because of its versatile ability to just be perfect and suitable with just about any outfit that you could think of. Not only that, cashmere scarves also have a timeless appeal that everyone can surely appreciate because it means not having to spend more than what is necessary when it comes to stocking up on scarves.


It comes in different colors. You can go from the plain basic ones to see you through days in the office or for more event-appropriate moments. Younger stylish women usually lean towards wearing those in bright and vibrant colors such as shocking pink, blue, yellow or even neon green. Some people who are feeling a bit more adventurous and daring, they go for crazy prints like the very popular and chic animal prints like the zebra stripes or the leopard's spots. Whatever you may choose to wear, you can be assured that you will always look oh so fabulous each and every single time you adorn yourself with one.


Another factor that makes cashmere scarves so important and almost as essential as the basics is its many practical uses. After all, it is not always just about the style. Dressing up is never just about the style alone. For one, scarves are used to make you feel warm and comfortable especially during the cold season. It can keep you from getting the chills when you are out on a hot date. With cashmere scarves, you can absolutely cover up and not feel uncomfortable in any situation. Of course, they are also really chic and if you are wearing one, you will definitely not feel underdressed or not as posh as others.


Compared to jackets or coats, a cashmere scarf is lightweight. It will not feel very much like a burden when you do decide to take it off during the middle of the day or of an event. You can simply untie it and fold it and put it aside without too much hassle. Some even can tie it as a cute add-on to their bags when talking about not so thick and big scarves. When you compare it to sweaters and cardigans, scarves are better because they are usually more stylish and attractive to look at as the former are more traditional and even too safe at times. When it comes down to it, cashmere scarves are your best bet to everything.


In fashion, one day you are in and the next day you are out. But one can absolutely be assured that a cashmere scarf is definitely one that will still be at the top of its game in years to come.

Women Top Spring 2011 Clothing Trends

 The year 2010 is gone by now, so here lets check out few womens top clothing trends in 2011

Maxi Dress
Every season trends evolve, and every season two trends merge. In that regards, spring 2011 will be no different from what has come before it. What will be different, however, is the season's take on a staple for many women's summer wardrobe: the maxi dress. In spring 2011 it'll merge with another trend favourite to give us the sheer maxi dress trend.

Lace clothing
No, it's not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has evolved. Lace influences for Spring 2011 are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. Less of the allover, stretch lace and more of the unique takes.

Bell bottoms
With skinny pants and jeans now so common that they no longer make a statement it was inevitable that a different style would emerge as a trend. It didn't necessarily have to be this one, but with the come back of all things 1970s it was inevitable that fashion forward people would turn to bell bottoms / flared pants as their style of choice.

Capri pants
For every trend exists its opposite. So as spring / summer 2011's fashion trends allow us to welcome flares back into our wardrobes, so too does it allow for an opposite style, in the form of capri pants, to make a showing.

Crop tops
It was 2009 that we last focussed on this look as a trend, and back then it certainly wasn't a trend for the whole year. This is very much a high-summer 2011 look, one great for the hottest of weather and party atmospheres, such as festivals.
