Fashionista For The Month of June!..

We’re ending our week with a southern treat. Check out Courtney from South Carolina:

She says, ” I describe myself as a girl next door…”


“… in search for a bit of glamour in my everyday life.”


” I would consider my style to be modestly chic.”


” I am a college student on a budget…”


“… so everything I wear is always affordable.”


” I have an appreciation for prints and textures, but a lot of the time, I keep it minimal.”


” I also tend to gravitate towards trends that are ultra feminine, such as floral prints or peplum.”


” Heres my blog where I write about everything beauty related!: Fiend4beauty.com and my instagram is @fiend4beauty“

Wow! What a fab way to end the week! The colors, the patterns, the peplums…consider me inspired!

Show Review: Louis Vuitton Spring 2013

Marc Jacobs packed a punch in his bright, short, and sweet Spring 2013 collection for Louis Vuitton which definitely had an abstract minimalist vibe, juxtaposing bold prints and colors with uncomplicated designs.




Shades of brown and burgundy got their time to shine in various check patterns, combining the shade with white and silver metallic on knee-length pencil skirts, long-sleeve crop tops, and an adorable sweater/shorts combination that read modern “It” girl for sure.





Lemon and kelly green uplifted ladylike suits, long-sleeve knee length dresses (one was sheer for an added dose of sensuality), and gowns that someone like Fan Bingbing or Zoe Saldana might have the guts to rock on the red carpet.







I couldn’t ignore the shoes and handbags from the collection, now could I?

Bag Lust: Marc Jacobs Resort 2013

Marc Jacobs is often inspired by art and even collaborates with world-renowned artists, most often for his work with Louis Vuitton. For his own Resort 2013 collection, the influence stems from artist Cindy Sherman’s Clown Series: simultaneously avant-garde, bold, and admittedly a bit frightening. Naturally, Marc wants his customers to shop and not be scared away, thus he only extracted the elements from clowns that were digestible: fun prints, vibrant colors, and interesting textures. His bag collection for the season reads equal parts children’s coloring book and luxury design with colorblocking and python.





MJ combines functionality and fun by juxtaposing leather with eye-catching prints including metallic polka dots and stripes. He also lends a funhouse quality to the bags with zip pouches that feature attached smaller zip pouches, making you do a double take for a cool optical illusion.



For the lady who likes to keep it simple, there are of course zip-front totes that are pared-down except for their electric hues.

Last, but not least are some of the most luxurious bags in the collection: tri-tone in color, boasting python, leather, and perforated panels.


Marc Jacobs always pushes the boundaries of fashion and I love this bag collection! His namesake line is always quite the splurge, but these designs are sure to add some much needed life to your wardrobe for the season and for many years to come. I’m excited to see how the bold pieces are worn by fashionistas the world over.
The collection retails for $475 – $2,495. Visit www.modaoperandi.com to pre-order now and www.marcjacobs.com to shop the brand’s latest collection.
