Casadei Spring Shoes 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Forget about diamond jewellery and designer clothes...Sometimes all it takes to make an outstanding style statement is a killer pair of heels. For the past 54 years, Italian footwear label <i>Casadei</i> has thrived upon it's prowess to create shoes that allow women to tower over the crowd, most literally. These 5 inch pair of heels are not for the faint hearted. With aerial proportions, acute angles & concealed platforms, they will require some skill walking in.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Spring 2013, Casadei gingers up their usual pairs of strappy sandals and pointy-toe pumps with jazzy colours and interesting materials. Electric animal print shoes are studded with sparkly Swarovski crystals. Crackled wedge heels are crafted from a patchwork of mirrored glass and earthy wafers of wood. Transparent plexi-glass adds a futuristic effect to satin covered sandals in pastel hues.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a look into the pioneering Spring/Summer 2013 range by Casadei.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2qBlaxS6E_eTQ7IulQR7K3q3J8b3wxcypFxAZXMlinodx3_FVwD541o_Z0hRxX0yx2sq9JmBrvHGziLIyiry4m_k7cguG1UZOuTCPPGCDTlgerEetvMel0EKYmlvyJ7qA91nUzF2gJBV/s1600/casadei1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2qBlaxS6E_eTQ7IulQR7K3q3J8b3wxcypFxAZXMlinodx3_FVwD541o_Z0hRxX0yx2sq9JmBrvHGziLIyiry4m_k7cguG1UZOuTCPPGCDTlgerEetvMel0EKYmlvyJ7qA91nUzF2gJBV/s640/casadei1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fGqiEddkum8COfhVtTPClfmPT3BVQZ4ZNNa8Fn8ZJ8U5so_3LV5WuCtpPMU71ippUIv0N4s2QB5OFeMVmJkfVws9RP7GLuPbJDKC5LbSR6ivzMAeWj9ohn4KrSUL93CcSPiKaQiRLOWp/s1600/casadei2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fGqiEddkum8COfhVtTPClfmPT3BVQZ4ZNNa8Fn8ZJ8U5so_3LV5WuCtpPMU71ippUIv0N4s2QB5OFeMVmJkfVws9RP7GLuPbJDKC5LbSR6ivzMAeWj9ohn4KrSUL93CcSPiKaQiRLOWp/s640/casadei2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlqUNHiq-Xrm2ghpb0r4UpnmKGA5nT0XYLIIIzesGLlOvhh5ICrCd2K7uyO5SbTL5boLZ4zAIy_mGBPmibLkw5ENy6u_4Lb1zcVX4jDL9RTogZUjGkut0dR3dsASpJdAFCJ0nqM_O9CAA/s1600/casadei3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlqUNHiq-Xrm2ghpb0r4UpnmKGA5nT0XYLIIIzesGLlOvhh5ICrCd2K7uyO5SbTL5boLZ4zAIy_mGBPmibLkw5ENy6u_4Lb1zcVX4jDL9RTogZUjGkut0dR3dsASpJdAFCJ0nqM_O9CAA/s640/casadei3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKH7FfG2jd4P70mXAE1gF9R2IE2257G-SbQ2Cpz2qO9Ks_kFJz0arOuRl7I9qEnDWJLXoD8jIZHRco9K4n5BdiTrjnskCBJgvAGPGflhSYiI1hFF658g9jZ60M9DZypJmCzYqoPhCywSCY/s1600/casadei4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKH7FfG2jd4P70mXAE1gF9R2IE2257G-SbQ2Cpz2qO9Ks_kFJz0arOuRl7I9qEnDWJLXoD8jIZHRco9K4n5BdiTrjnskCBJgvAGPGflhSYiI1hFF658g9jZ60M9DZypJmCzYqoPhCywSCY/s640/casadei4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A pair of Casadei pumps will set you back $650 and more.

Dany Atrache Spring Couture 2013

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have recently been introduced to the enchanting world of <i>Dany Atrache Couture</i>, a place where dream gowns are woven into reality, with just a sprinkling of fairy dust. The French Lebanese designer credits his previous work experience to the house of Dior and other Parisian ateliers, before embarking upon his own fruitful career in couture during the early 2000's.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Spring 2013, Atrache's lavish designs begin with floaty feminine silhouettes, shaded in with the candied contents of a box of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ladurée m</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">acaroons. The sweetness of rose petal pink and lavender, the richness of praline cream and caramel, brazen black licorice, the freshness of lemon and mint, and the tang of raspberry. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These beautifully constructed shapes have been showered with meticulous detail. It's evident that endless hours of thought has been put into every bead, every frill and each intricate inch of embroidery. Floor sweeping tulle ballgowns are given a modern appeal by way of chic leather and metallic belts. I loved Dany's innovative caped and bejeweled necklines. Here is a glance into the exquisite creations from Dany Atrache's Spring 2013 collection.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

CYAN Spring 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favourite parts about fashion blogging is discovering new and innovative designers that I've never heard of before, from countries beyond the style rectangle (New York, London, Paris and Milan). Victoria Panyukova is one such designer. Hailing from Kiev in the Ukraine, this nouveau artist began the progressive fashion brand <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">CYAN</span></b> in 2012. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CYAN preaches all that that it architectural in waves of artful shapes for Spring 2013. Inspired by the motion and streaming power of water, Victoria formulates modern pieces of art for the forward-thinking girl, proving that fashion goes further than trend and convention. The </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tone of her 'Tsumani' themed range is set in sea blue, verdant fields of green, sandy beige and sunset orange. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chiffon, leather, jacquard and silk collide in asymmetrical designs; collaged and cut-out to create individualistic outfits that stand out from the ordinary crowd.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a glance into CYAN's Spring 2013 collection.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

Spring's Supreme Clutch Bags 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The clutch bag has become so much more than<i> just</i> a mobile-and-lipstick carrying commodity on the red carpet. Accessible to a wider style-loving audience, a clutch polishes off any outfit, whether it's daytime casual or ritzy evening wear. This season, playing along to Spring 2013's fashion trends, clutch bags can be seen in monochromes, animal prints, glossy metallics, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tri-tones and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> neon hues. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Geometric bags take centre stage, with rectangular and boxy shapes, illustrating modernism and chic functionality. Get yours embellished with gold and silver hardware - if it has zips, spikes, studs and chains...you're an instant trendsetter. Exotic leather and sparkling beadwork add texture, while bold prints yield a sense of fun and whimsicality. Spring 2013 also sees a series of sugary pastels, fold-over pouches and see-through perspex bags. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some of my favourite picks for the upcoming season.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

Christian Louboutin Spring 2013 Collection

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have come to expect nothing less than 'superb' from red sole-spinning designer <i>Christian Louboutin</i>, and this season he exceeds our expectations. Flamboyant in both colour and design, Louboutin paints our Spring 2013 dreams in fluorescent hues, set in patent leather and PVC. Wedge heels take a place in the SS13 catalogue, alongside 5-inch stilettos and pointy-toe sling backs. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Animal prints come alive in metallics and monochrome while multi-shades of paint are tie-dyed onto cotton-covered platforms. With no shortage of high-trend glamour, this collection also boasts sexy pairs of spiked and studded pumps. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is the re-interpretation of Mr Louboutin's tried, tested and successful formula of creating elegant heels with a bit of an edge - that will have every celebrity and their stylist eagerly knocking on his door. As for the rest of us mortals who can't spend $1100 on a pair of designer footwear...there is merely drooling over the lookbook. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Click the image for a larger view.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
