New Year, New Obsessions

Happy 2011 everyone! The year is off to a great start, and I wanted to share this years obsessions with you! There are tons of designers out there heating up, but I have a few personal favorites that I'm sure you will equally love.

1. Siwy Jeans. When you think of designer jeans you probably immediately have True Religions, 7 Jeans, Hudsons, Rock & Repub's, Joe's and J Brand pop into mind. As much as I love all my TR's there is a new contender on the scene & I have fallen madly deeply in love. Siwy jeans are totally hot right now & look flattering on almost any silhouette. Although Siwy is definitely not a new brand on the market, it just recently got the extra spark of attention that it deserves. Siwy has soft stretchy denim, that hugs your curves & make you look like the goddess you are. They're reasonable priced for designer denim, ranging around $120-$200 a pair depending on the wash & cut you chose. Total love.




2. Dogeared Jewelry. I made this lucky discovery when one of my amazing teachers at FIDM shared how she did marketing work for this Jewelry line. As soon as I checked them out I instantly understood why she took the job. The jewelry at Dogeared that I love the most is they have jewelry for occassions, such as "Pearls for Best Friends," or "Gems for Mother/Daughter." They have an entire Karma collection, Diamond collection, an I Heart Mom collection, etc. The list goes on forever, but these very specialized beautiful pieces are unique and classy. They have almost every theme and combo, even if you are looking for a special necklace or bracelet to share with your grandmother, bridesmaid, or just someone special in your life. I am a huge fan of pearls, & this year many of my Christmas gifts came from Dogeared. 




3. Jeffrey Campbell. This is a shoe designer who is absolutely not afraid to be out of the box. Mr. Campbell creates shoes that are complete statement pieces. In his case its not the shoe that completes the outfit, it's the shoe that IS the outfit. Totally funky & daring styles that are beautifully constructed. 







4. Joie This brand is very California, relaxed loose fitting look. But the trend this next spring season will not be super skin tight, we are looking to see lots of loose fitting dresses & tops. Even the gaucho pants will be coming back. With that in mind, Joie is already a step ahead of the game because this have this style completed perfected. I have my eye on a lot of their pieces, including some of these tops/dresses. 






5. Minnetonka Last but not least, a personal favorite of mine. This brand is by no means new on the scene, but their flower child fringe style is being seen absolutely everywhere. This summer I had a pair of Indian fringe sandals that i absolutely died for. I wore them almost daily. Now that winter is here, Minnetonka has the perfect tribal looks for any kind of shoe style you prefer. 





What are some of your new year obsessions? I don't know about you all, but I'm thoroughly excited to see what 2011 has to bring in the fashion scene. What new designers will pop up, and most importantly what we will be seeing on the Spring runway shows. I'll be keeping you updated every step of the way!
