Guess who's turning 30!

Guess is celebrating their
"Sexy 30 Years"
in fashion

.
They announced in their spring catalog this year

that they will be bringing back the iconic and legendary model
Claudia Schiffer, whom rocked the pages of magazines for GUESS 23 years ago.

Picture above is the original ad that ran 23 years ago

with model Claudia Schiffer wearing the legendary Guess Jeans.

Click play to watch the funny little flashback video from VH1's 'I love the 90s' show.

You would think that you would see at least a little bit of aging 23 years later right?

Well you couldn't be more wrong.

Claudia's GUESS ads, this year, leave everyone wondering

"What is her secret!!??"

 She is most definitely blessed with TIMELESS good looks.

GOOD FOR HER! <yes, I'm slightly jealous lol.

The pictures above are from this years Guess ads.

Click play to watch a quick snippet of Guess' summer 2012 ad.

Enough drooling over Claudia! Back to fashion.

I'm loving the colors GUESS used for their spring/summer collections.

They chose to stay true to their brand and created some very cute and sexy pieces.

The colors are mostly purples, blues, with a sprinkle of white and pink.

 The more eclectic flower and whimsical print pieces are my favorites.

 In anticipation for their NEW summer collection

(that due to be released april 19th 2012)

I decided to post my favorites from the website today.

Below are my favorite 'New arrivals' available at www.GUESS.com

Below are my favorite 'white Out' collection pieces available now at www.GUESS.com

Joanak. Style Tips for Easter weekend

Easter and Passover is right around the corner.
Get together's and egg hunts are inevitable this month.
Some are more upscale and others are more casual.
No matter what the occasion style is my advice is to glam it up regardless.
Picture taking is the main reason for this advice. Cant have a family portrait or great memories if you look a mess!

My favorite traditions are the Seder with my family
and egg hunt with friends and family.

Now that the weather is on our side I like to bust out my favorite classic styles.
You cant go wrong with either the pencil dress or full skirt right now.
Just make sure you brighten it up with this seasons colors.

Remember to check the weather when wearing a full skirt.
You don't want to give the kiddos in the park that
"Seven year itch" Marilyn Moment ;-D
I'm sure the Dads wont complain but you don't need the mothers looking at you sideways LOL.

Here are my top pick NEW ARRIVALS on overstock.com

If you are having more casual events and don't want to wear dresses. I encourage you to buy or find your most colorful top and pair it with your jeans and maybe a trench or blazer. Keep in mind these seasons colors are bright. Also don't shy away from the colorful Jumpsuit/ Romper! its my favorite thing to see women wear this time of year.

Here are my top picks for casual tops from shopstyle.com

 If you don't want to use too much color and are wearing neutral colors always remember you can make it fun and give a nod to this season by adding a small splash of color with your accessorises. Add a colorful scarf, jewelry, bag, shoes or belt.
You wont regret it when you look back at your pictures.

Joanak. Trend Report

Do you know how to wear the colorful Blazer or colorful Jean?
(in honor of National Autism awareness day today, choose to wear the color BLUE!)

This season colors and color blocking is in.
They have even taken over our denim jeans and shrunken office blazers.
The best way to be sure you don't look like a clown
is to pair one solid color with a more busy pattern.

Trying not to over do it with patterns and colors is key.
Play with the pieces in your closet to get the right balance of color and pattern going. 

the below collections on the left can be found at GAP and are part of they're new arrivals.
The people on the right are my favorite picks that "WORKED IT RIGHT!" don't shy away from the trend if you are a straight man. Sometimes being on top of trends like this can help you win the ladies over. ;-)



























Below are Celebs in color blocking mode:

Laura's Top Trend Picks

Happy Sunday FUNday!!!

Weren't Joana's edits great?  

You really cannot go wrong this season with SO many incredible pieces to choose from.  The three retailers we have featured today have placed their own spin on the spring trends of color blocking, tropical, and NEON. 

The looks I have chosen will looks great on any shape, especially the blazers. Pair them with a solid top underneath to minimize if you have a large bust  - or pair it with a trendy floral or tribal print if your a small bust.   Blazers are a classic staple in any HauteWives closet.

Love Couture Top 6

For my pics from Forever 21, I stayed with a neutral pallet with pops of cool, muted colors....

H&M...I tend to go a little bit nuts.... Check out my floral and paisley explosion.

Fashion shouldn't be intimidating.  If you're afraid to try something at first, try to incorporate it in a small accessory, like a clutch or scarf. 

I hope you enjoy and try a few of these great affordable pieces on.  Post a comment and let us know how you liked them (or didn't)!!
