Fashion Trends for the Holiday Season

Fashion Designer Kimberly Larc Gives HILARY Magazine Tips on the top Trends for the 2008 Season

As we are in the holiday season, fashion trendsetters are frantically trying to find the perfect outfit for the Christmas and New Year’s bashes. This hectic process could easily be eliminated if we all had our own personal stylists. To help ease this situation, up and coming designer, Kimberly Larc (who debuted her Renee Larc for Milan 08 collection at NYC’s Fashion Week) offers tips on dresses, eyewear, shoes, handbags, accessories on what’s “fashion forward” this season.

“When looking for the right outfit to wear to the holiday parties, you don’t want to wear things that over power your inner self. You want to be able to feel comfortable and confident with your outfit,” says Kimberly Larc.

Shoes:

Just because the temperature has dropped a few degrees, it doesn’t mean you have to hide your toes. Peep toe heels are still a great option for those that want to show a little sex appeal during the colder months. Women also should consider wearing heels that have a little more of a platform heel. This is a great “safety net” in that you are able to still be comfortable and wear a higher heel that doesn’t make the balls of your feet burn.

Eyewear:

For those who wear glasses like I do, frames are a complementary piece to accessorize any outfit. This season, “cat eye” frames will be a popular hit along with frames that have decorative detailing. What’s more, they also protect the delicate skin around the eyes from sun damage, which can cause premature wrinkling.

Dresses:

Fitted dresses are the way to end the year and bring in a new. Fitted dresses in a stretch satin material and knee length are great for women that have the “hour glass” figure. Any style from strapless to sweetheart really accentuates women curves.

Coats:

Even though it is wintertime there is no need to hide your gorgeous gown or dress behind a bulky Coat. Designer Renee Larc for Milan says women should opt for a caplet or a nice belted waist trench coat. The caplet is perfect if you want a sleek sexy look and the belted trench coat gives the fit & flare look.

Accessories:

Embellishing an outfit with lots of accessories is the perfect trick on how to make an outfit “pop.” Layering bangles in all shapes and sizes and all different designs on one wrist is a great way to be differentiating. Another option for differentiating an outfit is to wear over size rings in exotic colors. Just like diamonds are becoming popular in different colors it also fashion forward in other aspects of jewelry as well.

Handbags:

Handbags that are big and bold are hot trends for the season. Long clutches make a statement for any occasion.

Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant

Oh Spears family, what have you done now?

2007 was the year of headshaving, custody battles, rehab for a day and antics galore, and that was just for Britney.

Now little 16 year-old "Zoey 101" star Jamie Lynn Spears wants to be just like her big sister, maybe even "better" with an unplanned pregnancy with her live-in boyfriend - yes her parents let her live with him.

Sadly, this means that 2008 will be another Spears takes-over-the-news year, and now there's two of them to watch, poor kids (their kids)!
