  • Project Runway Winner Anya Ayoung Chee’s S/S 2013 Collection

    <b><i>Nalissa Cuthbert, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/" target="" title="">MissesDressy Blog</a></i></b><a rel="nofollow"><br></a> <br> Remember <b>Anya Ayoung Chee</b> from <i>Project Runway</i> Season 9? You know, the Trinidad native that had only four months of sewing experience prior to entering the competition, yet came out on top as the winner? Well since the season ended last year she has been hard at work doing what she does best and conjuring up quite a bit of buzz around her new Spring/Summer collection. <br> <br> Making her rounds at <b>Mercedes Benz Fashion Week</b> events across the globe Anya showed her "Carnival of Color" SS '13 collection in both New York City and Cape Town. Filled with bold prints, vibrant colors, and flowy fabrics the line was much like the mix of clean and whimsical pieces we all grew fond of during her season of Project Runway. And with a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fabsugar.com/Project-Runway-Winner-Anya-Ayoung-Chee-Interview-20226165">self described</a> "sexy, easy, and island" aesthetic, we expected nothing less from the 29 year-old former beauty queen. Not to mention the collection featured a number of wearable looks that any woman would love to own- particularly the v-neck romper and cobalt blue blazer. She can send those over to us, actually. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> More on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/" target="" title="">MissesDressy</a>! <br> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/style-it-like-the-red-hot-miss-taylor-swift.html" title="The charismatic, considerably talented, Miss Taylor Swift has released her highly-anticipated fourth album, " style="color:rgb(28, 28, 28);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial;font-size:11.818181991577148px;background-color:rgb(240, 240, 244);">Style It Like the "RED" Hot Miss Taylor Swift</a> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/cfdavogue-fashion-fund-awards-red-carpet.html" title="Only amazing things can happen when Anna Wintour and Diana Von Furstenburg join forces.

  • Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins Lookbook

    <p> By: <i>Nalissa Cuthbert of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/kardashian-kollection-for-dorothy-perkins-lookbook.html" target="" title="">MissesDressy</a></i> <br> <br> Just in time for the holiday season Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins is set to debut in stores and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=795535&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20&interstitial=true">online</a> tomorrow. After browsing the lookbook we must say its typical Kardashian fashion- one dimensional. Filled with blazers, blouses, and bodycon dresses in just about every style and color, the line (featuring over 100 pieces) definitely reflects the style of reality TV trio Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian. Sadly we had an inkling of hope as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/prabal-gurung-for-target-partnership-video.html">fashion partnerships</a> usually present an opportunity for aesthetic growth, but Que Sera. Per usual the line drones on in the same uniform tone. The sole positive we could find is that overall the clothing is reasonably priced. Apparently you can look like a Kardashian for around $100. </p> <p> Check out the collection- excuse me, Kollection- and take a look at a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/kardashian-kollection-for-dorothy-perkins-lookbook.html" target="" title="">behind the scenes video</a> of the LA shoot. <br> <br> <br> <br> More on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/" target="" title="">MissesDressy</a> <br> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/shoesday-tuesday-real-floral-shoes.html" target="" title="">Shoesday Tuesday: Real Floral Shoes!</a> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/top-3-collections-from-sao-paulo-winter-2013-fashion-week-video.html" target="" title="">Top 3 Collections From Sao Paulo Winter 2013 Fashion Week (Video)</a> <br> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.missesdressy.com/top-5-best-dressed-at-the-2012-cma-awards.html" target="" title="">Top 5 Best Dressed at the 2012 CMA Awards</a> </p>

  • Are Clogs Back In?

    MissesDressy Blogby Nalissa To quote the witty Heidi Klum, "one day you're in and the next day you're out!" Aside from being a cliche phrase, we can't deny that in the world of fashion it's absolutely true. What's on trend one minute (like sapphire, ox-blood, or grey looks) is a complete taboo the next. We all remember Spring 2010 when clogs suddenly became the go-to shoe and just as quickly were being snatched from our feet by the fashion police! Much to my dismay, they went out almost as fast they stormed in. ...
