haute couture by hazel

hazel is quite the little fashonista. she gets so excited about new clothes and she loves to pick out cute outfits for special occasions.  she has thrown together some pretty cute outfits, but she also doesn't know a lot of the general matching "rules".   when she first started dressing herself i tried to teach her what went together and tried to force her to look cute, but they i got thinking - who am i?  if she is ever gonna get some style of her own i've got to let her experiment!  and experiiment she has...

this is from hazel's "spring wedding" collection.

 the terry cloth veil and statement jewelry is so 2010.

stripes are all the rage this year and hazel hits the trend dead on by pairing two

differnt stripes in one ensemble.

again we have the pairing of stripes with a third patterned element in her headband.

clearly this look is a cross of rock-n-roll and ballerina.

sportswear will be big this year, but we'll be seeing it in unexpected ways.

 this soccer shirt can go from the field to the gala when a sparkly sweater is thrown on top.

layering will continue to be on trend, with the mixing of patterns adding that special twist.

all the color-matching rules will be thrown out the window and actually matching will be considered so passe.

swim googles are making a big comeback, and not just in the pool. 

headbands will also be on runways and streets from new york to paris, with the emphasis being on the "undone" look. nothing overly fussy here.
