HOT HOT HOT: THE NEW ONE-PIECE

What goes around comes around this season as we take a trip back to the 80′s to revive the ONE-PIECE bathing suit.  As these formerly known “mom suits” make their way into stores, they are not coming quietly!  This HOT trend is for everyone, packed with VIBRANT COLOR and AWESOME PRINTS , these suits give these oldies a total modern makeover.  Try a bandeau or cut-out shape for the more DARING chick, but the CLASSIC vintage style is still great if you’re feeling more demure.  Go ahead and DIVE in - these suits have shown they’re here to stay!

Street Spotted: Paris & NYC

The LIVELOVESHOPLA team, aka “Guerilla Trend Hunters,” shops the stores and scours the streets in major fashion capitals around the world.  Recently, we spotted style-setters in New York, Paris and Jerusalem (where there’s actually a Topshop, too!).  Hence, the phrase, we cover LOS ANGELES and BEYOND.

HOT HOT HOT: Crush This Velvet

Every season we see a WAVE of JEWEL TONES sweep the runway, but this FALL/WINTER the FABRICATION of these hues is what stole our hearts. Giorgio Armani sent almost an ENTIRE collection of VELVET strutting down the catwalk with Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Zac Posen and many more sprinkling it into their shows. Velvet is no stranger to the holiday season but these designers have made it a STATEMENT for your wardrobe as we head into the colder days of winter!

Hot Hot Hot: MAXED OUT

This new MAXED OUT trend can get a little tricky so, we are showing you three ways to drop it like its hot… your hem line that is. The maxi dress has been beloved by beach bums and Malibu moms for decades but we have a new, more fashionable update to this elongated style. Whether you are an Olsen twin and you’re into hobo-chic, or you would prefer to wear it casual with a t-shirt, there is really no wrong way to wear the maxi SKIRT. So start the hunt and we promise to give you a nudge with some BABULOUS finds on our own mission for the maxi.
