Reed Karkoff to Leave Coach

Reed Karkoff

After almost 16 amazing years at Coach, Reed Karkoff has officially announced that he will be leaving Coach in June of 2014. Karkoff has always had a close relationship withe Coach's chief executive and together they have really transformed the brand into a chic label that every women can wear.
In 2010 Karkoff decided to begin his own label with the help of his label manger Valerie Hermann, who has also managed many notable fashion houses such as Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. His brand targeted more upscale clientele than coach.
Karkoff has stated that his motivation towards leaving Coach is purely about neutering his own brand. Building a brand takes a considerable amount of time and really wants to

Coachella Style

Kenzo Maxi Dress

Coachella is this weekend! Along with being California's biggest and most popular music festival its also an amazing time for style watching and shows what the upcoming trends will be. Here are some of my picks for laid-back Coachella looks.

Top Shop Romper

Depending on the weather a dress is the perfect look for Coachella. Some dress trends I am expecting to see are bold patterns, maxi dresses, and denim! I think rompers are also a perfect for the Indie themed festival.
Two piece looks are definitely a "go to" look for the annual music festival. I think we will be seeing a lot of bold patterned crop tops, tie front blouses, knit tanks, and stylish muscle tees.

At Coachella anything goes so I think people will be wearing all sorts of bottoms. Mini skits, maxi skirts, leather shorts, embroidered shorts, denim shorts, printed denim...the options are endless.

Joe's Snake Print Jeans

Alberto Fermani Boots

The accessories are really what take an outfit from average to bohemian chic. In terms of shoes its all about boots! Whether they're ankle, mid calf, or over the knee they all work. For a bag, a cross body bag is perfect for this type of event. Then add a statement pair of sunglasses and stack some bracelets and you are ready for Coachella!

Top 5 Beauty Trends For Spring!

Spring is finally here (even though it doesn't feel like it outside)! Although I love spring for so many reasons my favorite thing about any season change are the trends that follow with it! Here are my picks for the top 5 beauty trends this spring:

1) BB Cream
Whether its Maybeline or Bobbi Brown all major makeup companies have introduced BB Cream's to their line of products within the last year. I personally use Bobbi Brown's BB Cream and absolutely love it! I use to use their tinted moisturizer but love the BB Cream because it gives more coverage and is much more moisturizing.

Kourtney Kardashain with Pink Lips!

2) Statement Lip
Whether its tangerine, red, or fuchsia a statement lip is the perfect accessory to every look. Statements lips were on repeat at almost every fashion show for Fall 2013 which makes them just that much more in style for spring. Everyone loves bright colors for spring!

3) Pastel Eye Shadows and Liners

Nude Nails

With spring here light pastel shadows are a must. When you have a bright lip its good to to make that the star of the look and not compete with a dramatic eye. Keep it light and fresh!

4) Nude Nails
It's not winter anymore so for spring nude is the new black! Not only is it classic and simple but you can't tell when it chips! One of my personal favorites is OPI Tickle My France-y.

Cara Delevigne

5) Bold Brows
Cara Delevingne graced the runways of every major designer at this season Fashion Weeks in almost every country. She has become the new "it" model for her quirky personality and gorgeous face. She has re-defined the idea of beauty with her gorgeous bushy brows.
