Paper Crown Spring 2013 Collection

This is the new SS13 collection by Paper Crown which is a label  by Lauren Conrad (you may know her from the Hills). She has kept the collection very simple by choosing a pastel colour palate. She has included various blue hues, white and a touch of peach.

You can tell that she was inspired by where she lives as the collection is full of summery laid back separates. The whole collection represents minimalism with a touch of prints, stripes, a little shimmer with feminine silhouettes. I can definitely see Lauren Conrad easily wearing all these pieces as they do represent her personal style. Overall, I think its a balanced collection. What do you think?

Add these Necklines into your wardrobe...

I think that most women forget that necklines are an important part of any piece of clothing. It can help complement the shape of your face, the neck and your decolletage  The neckline can simply influence the style of the garment that you are wearing. There are various designs that can look good on all dresses and tops.

Sometimes it can enhance a garment whilst other times it is the main feature of a garment. Next time you pick out a garment and see if you can identify the neckline. You will see many fashion designers who will opt out in trying out different necklines to help give their designs that extra something. 

Here are some suggestions to necklines that you can identify and hopefully add into your wardrobe:

• A V-neck is the simplest and the most classic neckline. This shape can be seen on any type of garment and on any type of fabric.

• The Boat neckline has a broad opening as it sweeps from one side of the neck to the other. This type of neckline reveals  a little of the shoulder area.

• A Scoop neckline resembles a U –Shape that is curved. This type of shape cuts across the neckline and dips low at the front.

• The One shoulder neckline proves to be popular on dresses. This is an asymmetrical neckline. It usually starts at one shoulder and cuts across diagonally. Usually starts, from one shoulder and across under the other arm.

• The Halter neck is popular in the summer. It has two straps from the bodice that meet at the back of the neck and creates a plunge at the front. This type of design is popular on tops and dresses.

• Another simple neckline is the Square neckline. This is where three straight lines join together to create a square. This type of neckline works well on a variety of garments and fabrics.

• The Sweetheart neckline resembles the top half of a heart. It normally concaves and meets in the middle. This neck designs also accentuates the decolletage.

There are also many other varieties of necklines that would look good on everyone. Try to spot a funnel neck, drape neck, horseshoe, envelope and a keyhole neckline next time when you’re out shopping.
