Gwen Stefani in “Monrow”

Gwen Stefani was photographed heading into an office building in Los Angeles on May 3, working a black and hot pink look for her day of errands. Starting with a pink biker jacket, Gwen then wore a black tee (like Splendid’s Butterfly Sleeve Top in Black, Black, or if you’re in the mood for hot pink after seeing these photos of Gwen, try Monrow’s Crew Neck Tee in Neon Pink) with zippered leggings (I love Hard Tail’s Riding Pant In Black) and a pair of black boots. A delicate silver necklace (similar to Satya Jewelry’s Manifest Necklace in Emerald) and funky shades completed GS’ ensemble. Are you into this one for Gwen, everyone? In other Gwen news, more info about her children’s line for Target has recently come to light. According to Stefani: “When I first started this line, I thought it was going to be for under 5, but Target wanted me to do the bigger girls, which is a really strange age. They’re so inspired by things they see, trying to find themselves, expressing themselves, they’re influenced by friends, what they see on TV and the Internet. I thought it sounded like a big job but I’ve gotten into it.” Have any of you snagged pieces from Gwen’s line for your little ones?

Kate Bosworth in “Joie”

Photographed heading to the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills on April 10, Kate Bosworth rocked a pair of Isabel Marant wedge velcro sneakers which have definitely gotten the fashion community buzzing! There’s no question that these are a love/hate item, do you think they’re fierce or fug? Kate styled her statement shoes with a flowy maxi skirt (SunaharA’s Il Vento Skirt in True White is a cool white option), grey lightweight sweater (like Joie’s Bronx in Heather Grey), and a pair of brown sunnies.

Animal Prints featuring Michael Kors.

Animal print, or leopard print, is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a Leopard, Cheetah, Zebra, Tiger, Spotted Hyena, Striped Hyena,African Wild Dog, Giraffe or monkey. Animal print is also used for handbags and footwear and even some jewelry. A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints today very often use fake fur instead of animal coat.

Here is a video of a fashion show presenting Michael Kors Spring 2012 with nothing but animal prints.

A bit of print and a bit of HAREM PANTS.

The trend setting of harem pants are back in place. From going simple black/white to fashionable print, harem pants are becoming very popular. It is very comfortable and flexible to fit any body types. No worries about it being too tight or too loose on you, because most harem pants are made with stretchy fabrics. They are also known as “MC pants” because a rapper also known as MC Hammer wear it during the 1980s in many of his performances.

Traditional harem pants can be extremely large and baggy, with a very wide and full fit, very roomy, loose fitting, over-sized, puffy, spacious, with elastic in waist and at ankles, and with the crotch below the knee almost to the ground.

The following prints would be a good match to use for harem pants. Eagle fabrics offer this woven print in Style 014 (100% Rayon)
