Alice + Olivia Spring Collection 2013

There's an air of optimism and retro girlish glamour at the doors of Alice + Olivia this Spring. New York based designer Stacey Bendet derives her cheery inspiration from the 50's, with a set of ladylike silhouettes, cute printed cardigans, full flaired skirts, modish pants suits, candy stripes and chic shift dresses.

A rainbow of animated shades colour in this flirty collection; from bright cherry reds, apple green and canary yellow to more subtle hues of peach, powder blue and ivory. Prints come in the form of feminine florals, the animalistic élan of leopard and zebra and trendy black and white chevron lines. This exuberant range fits the closet of the modern thinking girl with a love for vintage charm. Each piece can easily be taken from the office to an elegant night out. The go-to brand for young Hollywood, Alice + Olivia also present a beautiful selection of evening gowns that exude grace and vivacity.

This is a glance into her style-filled Spring/Summer 2013 range.

Alice + Olivia is one of the more well-priced designer labels, especially if you catch some of their worthwhile online sales. They also offer free shipping within the US. This collection has already proved to be a hit with stars like Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Carly Rae Jepson, AnnaSophia Robb and Taylor Swift. I wouldn't be surprised if we see every single outfit from this collection out on the red carpet. Which A+O look do you most love?

Casadei Spring Shoes 2013

Forget about diamond jewellery and designer clothes...Sometimes all it takes to make an outstanding style statement is a killer pair of heels. For the past 54 years, Italian footwear label Casadei has thrived upon it's prowess to create shoes that allow women to tower over the crowd, most literally. These 5 inch pair of heels are not for the faint hearted. With aerial proportions, acute angles & concealed platforms, they will require some skill walking in.



For Spring 2013, Casadei gingers up their usual pairs of strappy sandals and pointy-toe pumps with jazzy colours and interesting materials. Electric animal print shoes are studded with sparkly Swarovski crystals. Crackled wedge heels are crafted from a patchwork of mirrored glass and earthy wafers of wood. Transparent plexi-glass adds a futuristic effect to satin covered sandals in pastel hues.



Here is a look into the pioneering Spring/Summer 2013 range by Casadei.

A pair of Casadei pumps will set you back $650 and more. So for now, all we can do is swoon over these sensational pairs and leave it to the fashionably famous to figure out how to walk in them. Which one of these is your dream heel?
