Steal Her Style - Jessica Biel Total Recall Photocall lace dress

Lace dresses have become a forgone conclusion when you're looking for something fantastically feminine. It's a go to for the evenings but has also slipped into our day wear over the past few years and what's not to love?

We are particularly loving some of the new patterns and cuts. It's taken lace dressing away from the uber sexy and softened it into a much more lady like and subtle version that is easy for everyone to wear.

At a photocall for "Total Recall" yesterday Jessica Biel took our breath away in a wonderful Oscar De La Renta knee length knit dress with sequin top and embroidered skirt. The skirt reminds us somewhat of doilies but we like this heavier take on lace as it creates structure and depth that you sometimes cannot get with lace. Even though Jessicas' skirt is sheer the overall look is still demure and pretty. We also love that it looks like a skirt and top ensemble making it easier to recreate a similar look at home. This would be a wonderful look for a wedding guest ... but be careful not to draw too much attention away from the bride ;)

For a fresh and youthful take on this look we have this French Connection mini sequin tank.

Paired with this Sea NY the look is fun and flirty.

For a sexier look opt for a cami style or tank top like this brushed gold one by Buckle

Pair it with a skirt like this one by Burberry for sophisticated glamour.

Enjoy!

Jewelry Trends - Modern Vintage

All things old are new again and don't we just love that over here at GoS. Over the past few months the runway has given us a strong showing of vintage patterns and designs in clothing as well as accessories for  the rest of 2012 leading into 2013. There has been a strong shift towards lady like fashion that will become even stronger in 2013. The focus is still on statement pieces with an element of luxury and excess in rich color schemes as well as sparkle. These modern vintage pieces are not designe dto be locked away in a safe for that "special" occassion. These pieces are designed to be worn day or night, casually or formal.

Here are some of the bold and beautiful pieces that will be adorning the decolletage of the discerning, modern woman.

Oscar De La Renta Gave us a collection of pastel beauties in their Fall 2012 collection that can be worn right through spring and summer.

Keep an eye out for multi strands and brooch detail in strong colors like these. From L - R Soft teal green from Erickson Beamon Spring 2012. Oscar De La Renta ruby red gems set against rose gold from their Spring 2012 Collection.

Drop style jewelry reminscent of royalty and luxury is dramatic and eye catching while still very lady like. From L - R we have another Erickson Beamon Spring 2012 piece in shades of coral and bronze. Prada gave us this striking piece in coral and topaz.

Fenton has combined strong modern elements with vintage charm to create some jaw dropping pieces for their Spring 2012 collection.

From L - R Dolce & Gabbana added a gothic element to their Fall 2012 collection with pearls and velvet and the drop pendant while Fallon took the classic pearl choker to new modern heights with its bold panther centrepiece.

Here at GoS we've been working on our own modern vintage pieces working with jewel tones and pastels. We've mixed old and new materials to create one off pieces that are bold and strong and create the illusion of luxury. 

Enjoy!

Style inspiration - gold trend

Now gold may cost a fortune by the ounce but it doesn't mean we can't all afford a little luxury in our life. Gold is already shaping up to be a hot ticket for spring and as always is a stand out in evening wear.

Keep the look simple with minimal accessories be it tonal or in jewel colors and let your inner star shine!

For our gorgeous vintage gold, full length column dress http://www.etsy.com/listing/98743368/vintage-gold-maxi-dress we've drawn some inspiration from the following looks ....
