The shapes most visible for this summer is round glasses, colors are more easy this season not as bright and as colorful like last year. Dark color, Gold, Silver and prints are the most trendy today.  Here are some ideas for glasses for the summer:

Prints, Leather & Lace - I Love Fake

One of the best online fashion magazine is without a doubt I Love Fake, now they have their second issue printed. I really love how they put this magazine together,  I did some shootings inspired by their style for my school projects. They have more "real" editorial and you can more relate to them in the sense of the style. This Editorial captured me, great patterns in the styling.
Young, wild and free is the spirit here:

Spring Editorial for Elle Canada

This editorial is one of the first now I have seen that gives me strong feeling of that the summer is near by, the beach time is finally arriving. Laid back attitude, very nice mixing of colors and warm environment. I'm not that crazy for the styling in this Editorial but I love the photography.
The air of the summer time...

Ombre for the summer - Trend

In the beginning of this year the hottest trend was the dip and dye hair and the Ombre colored nails but now on the other hand everything is turning to Ombre. This Trend is on a very large scale, because it's  multicolored, gradient color (fade in colored), dip and dye or just little bit of shades. I took some examples from this popular trend, I personally love the Ombre denim shirts ( if you have already denim shirt its very easy to DIY)

 

Like with so many trends there are some pieces nice and others not, I personally love the denim in Ombre, long shirts and also the scarfs, and not to forget the nails for those that have time to sponge their nails with many colors. Hope you enjoyed :)

Louis Vuitton Zoo

The bike of Dolce Gabbana was far from the weirdest thing on FuoriSalone, that was held here in Milano last weekend. In the store of Louis Vuitton they showed many of their LV zoo designs by the Engish artist Billie Achilleos. He used all the skin goods from LV line, belts, bags, wallets, bracelets and so on, and he somehow miraculously manage to make out of them all kinds of bugs, birds and many other animals.
Very interesting way to advertise and to mix art with fashion:
