Fashion: Peplum Trend

Hi everyone!  So I’m finally recovering from my recent trip to Japan.  Looking back on the business trip, I don’t know I managed the jet lag combined with pregnancy fatigue and 12 hour working days.  But I’m glad I powered through and mostly, I’m glad to be back.  Home sweet home!   The 12 -14hour sleeping sessions where I slept like a sloth immediately after my trip definitely helped with my recovery and I’m starting to once again feel human again.

Now that I’m awake enough to focus on important matters other than sleep deprivation my attention has diverted to a fashion love of mine – peplum.  The peplum trend is here to stay.  I love this frilly and feminine trend and wrote about this last year here.  I’m still seeing it everywhere and it seems that the trend has really caught on with the public.  Here are some of my favorite images from designers these days.  Click through my original Pinterest link if you’re interested in learning more.  And tell me, how much longer do you think this peplum trend is here to stay?

White Lace Dresses

As a continuation to my post on black lace dresses, here’s a roundup of my favorite white lace dresses styled by fashionistas around the world.

When this Texas engineering major isn’t studying thermodynamics, she’s inspiring the world to dress better through her blog, Chictopia, Weardrobe and simply by upping the dress code on campus.  I love the pairing of the chunky fur collared cardi with the more delicate lace minidress, both are from Forever 21.

Fashionshesays, one of my favorite bloggers that has mastered the art of wearing vintage wears Philip Lim’s lace dress with vintage earrings, purse and belt, then surprises everyone with a shot of fuschia Ferragamo ballet flats.


Jersey Ferrari, a fashionista once featured here on FabGab,also wears a vintage belt with her lace dress (from Forever 21).  Being that I’m 5’8”, I’m not sure I could ever get away with such high-heeled, clunky heels but she rocked them with her cute black ankle socks, a surprising twist for the rest of the outfit.

Also proving that high style doesn’t have to mean high prices, Haute and rebellious rocks a dress, fur and accessories all by H&M, one of my go-to retailers for trendy looks.  Doesn’t this Californian scream glam in her signature fur look?

Lastly, here’s a vintage vixen, also from LA, who mixes my favorite black/white combo.  Note how her cute black booties bring the whole vintage look a unique modern touch.  If you ever want to browse a terrific online vintage collection, she sells too!

That’s it for now, everyone!  I hope that 2011 finds you healthy and happy.
