NEXT: Chanel Ice Capades

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on March 10, 2010
No one could have predicted this:

.

Behold Wookie chic…or maybe Abominable Snowman is more appropriate.

.

I love that the models walked on a water runway.

Little Chanel “ice boxes.” Cute.

LOVE: Kristen Stewart’s Emilio Pucci Dress

Posted in By Em, LOVE by styleinspades on February 22, 2010
Kristen Stewart wore an Emilio Pucci dress under a 1020 by Nicole leather jacket to the 2010 Elle Style Awards:

.

Here it is on the runway as part of the Fall 2009 RTW collection:

.
I think it’s pretty and I love that she wore a leather jacket over it. I wonder if the Chanel dress she wore yesterday to the BAFTAs would have looked good with one too.

LOVE: Kristen Stewart Wears Old Chanel to the BAFTAs (but we love it)

Posted in By Em, LOVE by styleinspades on February 21, 2010
Kristen Stewart wore a beautiful Chanel dress from the Spring 2009 couture collection to the BAFTAs:

^The shoes are Roger Vivier platform sandals in white satin. Great choice.
.

.

Below is the dress as it appeared on the runway:

.
Kristen seems to have a thing for short, strapless Chanel dresses. She wore a black one from the Fall 2008 RTW collection for the Twilight Vanity Fair Shoot:

The funny thing is that this is the second time this week that Kristen has worn a dress from a past season. Both the Chanel dress she wore to the BAFTAs, and the Azzaro dress she wore to the premier of “The Yellow Handkerchief” are not old enough to be considered vintage, yet not recent enough to be considered…well, current. Both dresses are beautiful, but technically a little out of date. Personally, I don’t mind. If it looks good, wear it.

If it was still Friday, this would have been a WTF Photo Friday post, but since it’s Saturday…meh.

LOVE: Modern Day Edie Sedgwick- Becka Diamond

Posted in By Em, LOVE, NEXT, WATCH by styleinspades on February 8, 2010
Coolest moment this week would have to be seeing Becka Diamond on a fashion shoot. At first I didn’t recognize her because her normally stick straight platinum blonde hair was, well… I’ll just say very different.

This was me (on the inside, of course) when I realized who she was:
Clueless from Style In Spades
.
She’s fairly new to the fashion scene, so I wouldn’t be surprised if not everybody knows who she is. The only reason I do, is because I’m an insane person who stalks the crap out of everyone on Street Peeper

So, in a nut shell, Becka Diamond is an aspiring actress from Boston. She was dubbed fashion’s new It Girl this September when she made the rounds at New York Fashion Week’s hottest shows & parties. Her best friend is model Dree Hemingway, with whom she is often photographed.

She is gorgeous in person & super charismatic.
Pretty sure there will be a lot of buzz about her come fashion week.

TREND: From Blonde to Sacré Bleu – Tavi Gevinson’s Blue Hair

Posted in By Em, NEXT, TREND by styleinspades on January 31, 2010
Style Rookie’s Tavi Gevinson recently dyed her hair blue. Supposedly the inspiration for this drastic change came from Dazed fashion editor, Katie Shillingford, who has platinum blonde hair with navy tips.
.
I think Katie’s hair is interesting. Definitely not something I’ll try today, but she pulls it off. Tavi, on the other hand looks better with her natural hair color. Although, who knows, maybe her new shade will grow on me.

.

^Tavi

.

^Katie Shillingford

.

I don’t want to go overboard here, but it’s possible that blue hair will become a trend. Not only does an influential fashion blogger have blue hair, but it was also shown at the Chanel Couture show:

.

.

.

I like the Chanel version – It’s more subtle than Tavi’s & Katie’s hair.
.
.

.

And just for fun… a mini retrospective of blue dos:
^Marc Jacobs

.

^Kate Hudson. Ok who else thinks she looks like Jessica Szohr?

.

^Kirsten Dunst

.

^Queen of all media, Perez Hilton

.

^Linda Evangelista

.

.

So, would you ever go blue?

.

.
And is it just me, or does Tavi look just a little like Andy Warhol (love) here?
