Few talks about Maxi Skirt:

“I don't have a maxi skirt, but I recently unearthed a vintage maxi dress from my mum's wardrobe and I finally plucked up the courage to wear it out yesterday (I'm very small, about 5'3", so I've always felt that a maxi would swamp me) and I got loads of compliments. I feel like I've been converted to the maxi dress/skirt trend and I am hoping to add a maxi skirt or two to my vwardrobe in the near future. So, YES, therawpower, you can pull it off! I'm shorter than you and I can pull it off. You just need to get the right fit for your body shape.”

“to all the shorties: maxi skirts + high waists (a la bonbonenata) are perfection! i LOVE long skirts. they sure beat all the butt-grazing minis that are out there.”

What Men Fashion Styles to Watch Out in this Winter?

We can all try and deny it but summer is officially over and now is mid of winter. It’s time to turn out the closet and change the thin spring/summer clothes for thicker, warmer clothing. The men’s winter 2011 trends are all about smart and fashionable winter-weather dressing.

We always associate winter with dark dull colors because that is what they are; the sunny bright days is being replaced by the bitter cold weather. However, forget the usual blacks, charcoals and grey as another trend has taken over the streets. Colors are a big feature for this coming season. Everything is being revamped into a wide range of colors and prints. The usual dark ensemble is being replaced with a burst of bright daring colors. Designers such as Burberry and Vivienne Westwood have shown a lot of blues, reds and greens while daring designers such as D&G have gone for eye-catching orange.

Another fashion styles that deserve a watchful eye is the clothing’s material. This season, materials are given as much attention to as the design of an outfit. Tweeds used to be thick and itchy but now, the tweed that is currently stirring a trend in winter season is softer and lighter. It is sturdy without being too restrictive.

When deciding on a jacket to beat the cold winter, how about these cool aviator jackets? This trendy life-saver in the bitter winter has become a popular addition in runways. It made an appearance in Burberry Prorsum, Lanvin, Hermes and Trussardi 2011's shows.

Some of the prevailing trends for this season’s men’s autumn winter accessories are faux fur and leather. There is a wealthy amount of fur and sheepskin trapper hats on the high street this season. These items can make all the difference when put together with an outfit for winter.

A few years ago men hardly had the opportunity of such a large choice of gloves. But thankfully fashion is stepping forward and today a good variety of design and fabrics are being offered to the gents. Many designers such as Lanvin and Giuliano Fujiwara welcome this accessory on their runways. Gloves are not only one of the coolest fashion accessories but it also helps keep you warm and comfortable through the bitter cold season. Opt for a pair of leather gloves if you wish to portray that ‘gentlemen style’.

Just because it is winter does not mean you should abandon your fashion sense for the season. Stay up to date with trends just as how you would with summer and your winter will no longer be as dull.

Man Fashion: Emporio Armani F/W 2011 Collection

This season, Emporio Armani is plunging into realistic urban townscape. In fine shading of grey and taupe, the collection offers a vision of urban dressing that escalates the collection into a whole new level of modern elegance. Special attention was given to coats with deconstructed silhouettes, slim fitting and occasionally paired with a waistcoat that looks best at mid-calf length.

Armani's signature nylon and quilting are replaced with a range of wools, nubuck sheepskin and leather to reassure the brand's sense of solidity. The collection is expressed with a forceful confidence and a hints of eccentricity. The leather harness cum waistcoat is genius creation, a very sexy way to display and define the male form.

Meeting the Team: Christina Williamson

Christina joined the Emily Weddings team in April of 2010, and has sincerely loved every minute of it.

She graduated from Old Dominion University in 2005 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. The knowledge she gained in these areas of study have truly helped in understanding the different types of people and families and cultures she comes across when working on a variety of weddings.

Christina is a “girly girl” in every way and has been obsessed with all things wedding for as long as she can remember. “My DVR is constantly overflowing with wedding shows. It sometimes takes me months to catch up, but I record everything because I don’t want to miss anything that has to do with weddings!”

She is very organized and loves making sure all of the details are in place for the bride’s special day. “It is such a rush to see the months of time and preparation come together and make our bride’s dreams come true.”

Christina was so excited when she got the opportunity to meet with Emily and begin working in the field she loves. When she got engaged in June of 2010, it only heightened her interest in planning and coordinating all of the details that go into a beautiful event. Christina had the opportunity to be the lead coordinator for a fellow Emily Weddings team member in November of 2010, and was lucky enough to have her fellow team members coordinate her own wedding just this past September 2011!

From the flowers to the linens to the wedding dress itself, Christina loves everything that goes into a wedding, and it is absolutely a pleasure for her to work in such a fun environment, with such great people!

Q & A with Christina:

What is your favorite part of a wedding?

"My favorite part of a wedding is absolutely when the bride and groom see each other for the first time. Whether it is a “first look” or its as the bride is coming down the aisle to meet her groom, watching the looks on their faces always puts a smile on my face and tears in my eyes."

What is your favorite season for a wedding?

"My favorite season for a wedding is in the fall. The temperature is mild, the leaves are beautiful, and you can dance outside all night without breaking a sweat. Just make sure you always have a backup plan in case of rain!!!"

What is your favorite bouquet flower?

"My favorite flower is hydrangea. They come in such beautiful colors, and they are classic and beautiful, but also big and bold enough to make a statement. I used hydrangea in my wedding centerpieces and bouquets and they looked absolutely stunning."

Meeting the Team: Paula Lipsey

When Paula moved to Virginia in 2010, she knew exactly where to send her resume. While reading the Virginia, Maryland, and DC edition of The Knot, Paula was drawn to an interview with wedding planner and coordinator Emily Petersen. "My love for weddings and events had grown during college, and when I started planning my own wedding (May 19th, 2012), I picked up a local issue of The Knot. The article on Emily Weddings was the first thing I read, and I took it as a sign."

Paula joined the Emily Weddings team in February of 2011, and has enjoyed every minute of helping brides bring their dream wedding vision into reality.

Paula graduated from the College of Charleston in 2010. During her college career, she majored in Media Communication Studies and was a public relations intern for fashion designer Brian Reyes. "I have always had a love for fashion and being able to combine my major and one of my passions was a great experience. Every time I get to help a bride with a fashion decision I get excited!"

Paula's love for the industry was a given while going to school in such a large wedding destination city. "In Charleston, there are planners on every corner, custom dresses on every street, and weddings happening every hour in the beautiful churches of our holy city. I think that every girl that graduates from our school has an interest for weddings and events from just seeing them around town. I got to meet designer Carol Hannah at an alumni event and was a little star-struck!"

Paula also has experience in the interior design field. "When brides can tell me what colors they are leaning towards and the overall feel they are going for with their wedding, I can run from there. I love to see brides get inspired by decor ideas that I put together for them. Whether the client is starting with a blank canvas or if I am helping them give life to an exact vision, I love the whole design process."

Paula says that she is thankful for not only the experience she has gained from the Emily Weddings team members, but the friendships and memories she has made. She can't wait for an exciting 2012 season!

Q&A with Paula:

What is your favorite wedding tradition?

"I was in a sorority, and in the south, we have a tradition called a sorority sing. Your sisters give you your sorority's flower and sing one of your songs before your send off with your new husband."

What is your favorite wedding day accessory?

"I love big statement pieces. Chunky necklaces or cuffs can make a big impact. You only need one fabulous piece to really stand out."

What is your favorite bouquet flower?

"I love peonies. They're big and fluffy and look gorgeous in any bouquet."
