JANUARY HITS & MISSES

I want to show you what I have been loving in January. I will try to do this for every month. Sometimes there may be more of what I love sometimes perhaps none.

 

 

CELEBRITY TREND - COLOUR BLOCKING IN GOLD & BLACK

I have come to notice that gold paired with black has been a favourite look of many celebrities both on the red carpet and on the street.

This classic duo will never go out of fashion. However be warned. Since gold itself can be overpowering, it is wise to cut down on the accessories when carrying this look.

WHAT I COVET...

I want to venture away from the usual format of my posts a little. I decided, as I do in instagram, to share with you other things that I love apart from fashion.

For this post the theme is Blue. The shade similar to Tiffany blue, or perhaps more near the aqua tone. I have always loved it in all shades and tones. When you look at the visuals you'll get the pic.

HELLO DEAR FRIENDS!

I have lately been quite addicted to INSTAGRAM. I would love you to see my pictures, which are about anything that I like. So have a look at @Trendreporter if you can and let me know what you think.

Apologies, for neglecting my blog for a while. The truth is that end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 has not been too good for me and family members in the health department.
Nothing too critical but enough to affect me in such a way that I have constantly been tired and unwell. The fact that it was so prolonging was the annoying part.

So please forgive.

MICRO TREND: SHEER STRIPES

 Another trend we have been seeing aroung for a while is sheer stripes.Many designers have incorporated this look into their collections for past and current as well as coming seasons. It's going to be very popular in Spring 2013.

SPRING 2013 TREND; RUFFLES

We haven't even officially started Winter yet, but I wanted to give you a sneak preview of a Spring trend. Ruffles reminds of two things, Flamenco and the 90's fashion.

 So here we go;

MICRO TREND:WHITE STILLETTOS

Once considered a fashion crime (sometime between the 90's to present day) White Stillettos are making a comeback. They are picking up pace amongst celebrities so fast that anyone who didn't like them 10 years ago is surely going to love them this time around!

Marion Cotillard, Emma Watson, Selita Ebanks and Gwyneth Paltrow.

MY FAIR NICOLE

Nicole Kidman brought a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the present day when she attended the Derby Day at the Flemington racecourse in Melbourne, Australia.

A LITTLE TAG FROM MY FRIENDS

My dear fellow blogger  of pinkyfashion has tagged me. I wanted to do this tag after I had an unordinary day. So here we go;

How was your day?
Today I spent the day with my daughters, because it's a week long half term school holiday. We went out for some shopping!!!

Talking about something without naming it,
I usually talk about my youngest daughter without mentioning her name but she ends up understanding that I am talking about her and comments on what I've said.:)

Why choose window seats?
Because my children want to sit at the window seat usually travelling by plane or coach.

What did you do for yourself today?
Loads! But the nicest was to buy a certain bag I had been lusting after for a while and I got it with a big discount:)

What's the first thing you look at on your Twitter?
Responses to my tweets.

Think about those reading this.
I hope I can continue to post something that interests them.

Caricatures that make you laugh,
This is my fave at the moment.:)I get similar questions asked often.

First sheep is shocked that her friend paid 3000lira for a handbag. The second replies that Eid of sacrifice is only a month away, and since coffins don't have pockets, what's she supposed to do with money?

Type without looking

Think of a sentence and then type it with words mixed.

WHO WORE IT BETTER -13

A Dolce & Gabbana Dress in Teal. Recently worn by Naomie Harris to the James Bond Skyfall premiere in Rome.

Three slightly different versions of the dress has so far been worn in two colours.

My Favourite version has to be Naomie Harris, I feel she adds a contemporary glamour to the dress. The worst has to be Laetitia Casta in Black, and Kylie Minogue is not even talking about she makes the dress look so ordinary and it becames just another dress.

To my lovely Turkish readers I would like to as a question. Should I continue to post in Turkish as well or would you be happy to read posts in English only.

Thank you in advance.

MISSION IN FASHION

This year the fashion industry leaders have teamed up with BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) to raise awareness for a BBC Charity Children In Need.

Her sene Kasım ayında BBC'nin kurduğu yardım derneği Children İn Need için para toplama kampanyası televizyondan yayınlanıyor. Geleneksel olarak bir çok ünlü yarışma, komedi skeçleri vesaire düzenleyerek para toplanıyor. Fark olarak bu sene derneğin sembolü Pudsey Ayıcık ünlü madacılar tarafından imaj değişimine uğramış.

Katy England is a stylist who has been working behind many famous and successful models, magazine editorials and fashion designers. Although she has a successful portfolio behind her she  prefers to keep a low profile.

WHO WORE IT BETTER - 12

Lady Gaga v Liz Hurley in Versace.

Flash back to 1994, premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in London, a young model was on the arm of a handsome man, Liz Hurley was unknown then, but overnight her fortune changed and she was catapulted into the celebrity scene.

Ne derler, taklitler aslını yaşatır. Lady Gaga 1994 yılında henüz şan-ı şöhreti olmayan isimsiz Liz Hurleyi bir gecede şan, şöhret ve daha fazlasına kavuşturan bu elbiseyi giymekle hem elbisenin hemde ilk giyeninin moda dünyasındaki yerinin ne kadar önemli olduğunu ispatlamış oldu.

ONE McQ, THREE STARS

Take one McQ by Alexander McQueen, skirt and ensemble it with three stars. What do you get?

Bir McQ ipek, tül ve çiçek eteği alıp üç yıldızla birleştirirseniz ne çıkar karşınıza?

NEW TRENDS FOR A/W 2012- PART3

Opulent

Anything that is in bold, gold, or bling goes! Forget the less is more mantra, more the better. Especially gold and diamonte accessories. Don't hold back ladies!

Şaşa gösteriş ve abartı bu trend için olmazsa olmaz. Ne kadar varak işleme, taşlı boncuklu kıyafet ve aksesuar bulursanız alın, takın üstünüze.

WHO WORE IT BETTER- 11

Victoria Bechkam dress with a sports collar from Atumn 2012 collection.

Victoria first wore the blue version followed by the grey version of the dress. Each time the dress was worn as in the catwalk version.Next Turkish socialite and fashion designer Siren Ertan has teamed the dress with a Lady Dior bag in tweed and alligator without the belt. Unfortunately I can't find an image showing the front profile of Ms Ertan in full.

NEW TRENDS FOR A/W 2012- PART 2

GOTH

Without owerpowering your whole look why not try a more demure and sophisticated version of this trend with key pieces in black lace and leather teamed with accents of white and red.
This is a very feminine and seductive trend.
