Happy Friday- has been a long week and I am v.v. ready for some weekend, I'll tell you what.
I admit it- I am a huge fan of "I told you so", bratty as I am, so I'm happy to report that back in March I posted that striped Prada dress on my blog and declared it the dress of the Spring. And guess what? It was, or is.
In my sleepless night last night, I was cruising around online and found an article on In Style, declaring the adorably sexy dress as one of great mileage on red carpets stateside and otherwise, and that even Bossypants herself (Tine Fey) rocked it. I remember pegging the black and white Givenchy striped jacket the year before that as "the" item that would be copied by the high street, and I was right on that as well. I have a sixth sense for what's coming, what's going to be popular, and what's next- fashion or otherwise. In any event, it's nice to see affirmation of something I posted months ago, on March 18th to be exact. The post went a little something like this:
"If you've been reading this blog for a while, you may remember last Spring when I picked the black and white, vertical striped Givenchy blazer as the most coveted item of the season, and predicted it would be "repurposed" by more mainstream retailers like Zara, Forever 21, and H&M. I did end up seeing this piece, in various iterations and reinterpretations, all over our American version of the High Street (the mall), so I wanted to zero in on a dress I thought was "copy" worthy as well.
I give you yet another striped number, from Prada's Spring 2011 collection. I've already sighted the long version of this by young Hailee Steinfeld at one of the various awards shows this season, but it's this shorter, sassier number I'm a bit agog over. I have a feeling this pattern, color palette, and silhouette will be the dress of the season, with retailers clamoring to think of ways to redo it. I'm a huge fan of this litle number and wouldn't mind my own little version of this dreamy dress, at my price point, of course".
I can't pretend to know what is going to happen in your love life, or what the outcome of your next job interview will be. But keep reading this blog and I promise you you'll hear about stuff that is going to trend on the high side, albeit fashion, some social phenomenon, or hot destination. That is all. I hope you have a wonderful weekend- I myself will be looking for new fun things to write about for all of you, so keep reading! (Pardon the personal toot horning, but I dig when I'm right. Just ask my husband).
Cause that's what's up this futured Friday in the MIA. XO
