If Zimmerman's Spring 2014 runway was any indication, crop tops will still be around next spring (note to self: start on the crunches today). The Aussie label, know for making beautiful swimwear and resort wear, threw some metallics into the usual mix of springy florals and pastels -- and we never met a metallic we didn't like. The flirty skirt and the ruffled top in this look have a lot of volume, so the ponytail (with the side-swept fringe of our dreams) keeps it sleek. Bronzed skin and nude lips were topped off with a soft smoky eye -- a simple beauty look we can see ourselves living in come spring.
September 5 -- Spotted on the BCBG runway at NYFW: models with barely-there makeup and major cheekbones (note to self: brush up on contouring skills).
The simple beauty look makes a good case for that whole "less is more" theory -- instead of competing with the dress, the not-overdone hair and makeup take it to effortless territory. As for the dress itself? The moody pattern, combined with a relaxed shape cut from floaty fabric, adds to the I-just-threw-this-on-and-ran-out-the-door chicness that BCBG has down pat. Bonus fact: BCBG is an acronym for bon chic, bon genre - meaning good style, good attitude. Learn something new every day.
