So, let’s start – TOP 6 SHOE COLLECTIONS FOR SPRING/ SUMMER 2012:

I would start from Chirstian Louboutin shoes. They are the best for me. I know you would say it is banal but these shoes are really special. Yes, they aren’t very comfortable, and those heels are often hard to walk in but they are worth the pain we suffer. The designer was right. See Christian Louboutin Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

Manolo Blahnik shoes are fabulous. They are more diverse in styles and colors and are perfectly comfy. Maybe they don’t look as impressive as Loubooutins but they certainly do look more feminine and delicate. See Manolo Blahnik Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

Gaetano Perrone has released just one collection under his own name but it has already found its fans. It is not surprising at all considering the fact he has been creating footwear for Alexander McQueen for a few years. His shoes are spectacular – extravagant but incredibly beautiful in design they will soon appear on the red carpet as often as shoes of other exclusive brands. See Gaetano Perrone Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

I was impressed with Nicholas Kirkwood’s first footwear collection and immediately remembered the name of a young but very talented designer. His Spring/ summer 2012 range isn’t as impressive but it is womanly and chic and features amazing floral prints. See Nicholas Kirkwood Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

Prada has returned us to the ’50s fashion era with its clothing but shoes with those flame tips looked like they were ready to transport us back to the present at any time. See Prada Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

D&G Spring/ Summer 2012 collection seems a little out-of-place here due to the fact it is casual and shoes presented in it are far from being cute or elegant but don’t we all from time to time turn to comfier styles – flats, wedges, even sneakers? We do, and for such moments this range is ideal. See D&G Spring/ Summer 2012 shoe collection.

That’s my list of Top 6 Shoe Collections for Spring/ Summer 2012. Would you add any name to it?

Despite the fact red carpet fashion choices at the 2012 SAG Awards ceremony weren’t as diverse and chic as those at previous glam events we had written about this year, we cannot say they were boring. There were a few looks that deserved your attention. For example, Michelle Williams’ red Valentino dress looked gorgeous. It showed the actress’ enviable figure and, complemented with Roger Vivier sandals and Lanvin bag, looked totally glamorous.

Lea Michelle, who has recently been announced as the new face of Candie’s, wore a luxurious and daring gown by Versace.

Jessica Chastain opted for a simple but very elegant custom dress from Calvin Klein Collection. To make her look more luxurious the 30-year-old accessorized with $2.5 million in Harry Winston jewels.

Glee star, Jayma Mays hit the red carpet of the 2012 SAG Awards in a chic Reem Acra gown.

Sofia Vergara looked mesmerizing in a sumptuous fuchsia Marchesa gown.

The Help star, Emma Stone appeared at the 2012 SAG Awards wearing an unusual custom Alexander McQueen dress which she paired with shoes and a bag from the same brand.

Armie Hammer arrived at the ceremony of the 2012 SAG Awards with his beautiful wife Elizabeth Chambers. Her dress was very simple but so lovely that it won my heart the first moment I saw it.

Emily Blunt rocked a bold one-shoulder gown from Oscar de la Renta‘s Resort 2012 collection. Maybe it wasn’t the most interesting dress on the red carpet but it turned quite a lot of heads.

Naya Rivera was also one of the best-dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards. Her delicate blue floor-length dress was fantastic.

Kelly Osbourne, who makes fashion faux pas rather often, this time, impressed us in a good way. Her white gown with eye-catching shoulder detail was lovely.

Dianna Agron is such a pretty girl. She can look great in everything, even in less interesting dresses than this one by Carolina Herrera!

Stacy Keibler, who arrived at the 2012 SAG Awards, with George Clooney looked feminine and attractive in her Marchesa gown.

Julianna Margulies looked stunning in a custom Calvin Klein Collection dress with rich embroidery.

Emma Stone looked the cutest. Designed specially for her, the Alexander McQueen dress fitted the young but talented actress like a glove. She wore the shoes and clutch from the same brand.

Jayma Mays sparkled on the red carpet of the 2012 SAG Awards in a chic Reem Acra gown which she finished with Brian Atwood shoes, Neil Lane earrings, and a Judith Lieber clutch.

Stacy Keibler, who usually accompanies her partner George Clooney to different glam events, looked beautiful in a lacy floor-length gown by Marchesa.

Amber Heard opted for a Zac Posen dress to wear to the 2012 SAG Awards. She completed her look with H. Stern jewelry.

Ashlee Simpson looked amazing in a Jenny Packham dress (which reminded me of Vanessa Hudgens’ dress at the 2012 People’s Choice Awards).

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also attended the 2012 SAG Awards. Just like Ashley Simpson she wore a black Jenny Packham gown on the red carpet. Gucci shoes, and Louis Vuitton bag finished the look.

Glee girls, Amber Riley and Heather Morris, both wore black to the 2012 SAG Awards. Amber looked classy in a strapless tight-fitting lacy dress with a lovely bow.

Heather added a little sex appeal to her look. Her Masai Payan dress exposed her shoulders and cleavage as well as showed some leg.

Tina Fey stepped out in a luxurious vintage dress by Versace.

There are only three designers whose couture work I really admire – Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier. Two of them no longer create due to the reasons you know, but one still keeps making those fantastic outfits that often leave us breathless. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection was wonderful. Inspired by and dedicated to Amy Winehouse it consisted of pieces which were feminine and colorful in Amy’s style and extravagant and chic in Gaultier’s way.

Models with beehives, beauty spots on their faces and dramatic eye makeup walked down the runway in dresses of the fifties era, tiny corsets and bodysuits, glitzy pencil skirts and simple shirts, stylish suits and sheer tunics.

PVC leggings, blazers which exposed bras and a lot of flesh, and dresses baring backs were showcased along with demure frocks, well-tailored coats and high-waisted pants in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s accessories were amazing. Luxurious veils adorned with embroidery, fringe and lace, wide cuffs in a variety of styles, headwear with huge flowers decorating it, exquisite earrings and cute necklaces, foldover and clutch bags – all made Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection even more complete.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #1: Airy maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are always in vogue but during Spring/ Summer 2012 season it is airy maxis that will be top trendy. Made of chiffon, taffeta, organza and other sheer fabrics maxi dresses come in colorful prints. D&G and Emilio Pucci offer us multilayered dresses with scarf-inspired prints, Just Cavalli and Naeem Khan go for leopard and polka dots while Roccobarocco simply combines contrast colors.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #2: Mini dresses. While some ladies opt for airy maxi dresses others will definitely want to show more of their bodies and trendy mini dresses will help them a lot with this. Paco Rabanne, Balmain and other designers have made a variety of super mini dresses in different colors and designs.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #3: Midi-length dresses. Midi-length dresses are perfect for those who dislike maxi dresses but feel shy or inappropriate to wear mini dresses. Midi dresses look good on women of all ages and can be good for many occasions. In a dress from Giorgio Armani you can visit a red carpet event. Victoria Beckham’s tight-fitting midi will look perfect at a book launch or a store opening and a stylish Etro will make you feel gorgeous everywhere you go.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #4: Glittering dresses. If you want all attention centered at you just go for one of glittering dresses designers provided in plenty for Spring/ Summer 2012. Try a silver or gold dress or find a bolder option in green, red or blue. Elie Saab designed fantastic sequined gowns. Giorgio Armani made a few dresses in color of liquid metal. And Paco Rabanne worked with iridescent hues.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #5: Asymmetrical hemlines. Asymmetrical hemline is a big Spring/ Summer 2012 trend which extends not only to dresses but to various tops and coats, too. Mary Katrantzou made a number of fabulous dresses with trains. Missoni cut hemlines to one side, while majority of designers simply re-invented a mullet dress (which has been a hot Winter 2012 trend).

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #6: Floral-printed dresses. Floral print is very trendy during Spring/ Summer 2012. Delicate and small or large prints look feminine and very beautiful. Every brand from Valentino to Proenza Schouler and of course Anna Sui (who nearly every season uses the print in her collections) have used it. And some, like Iceberg, even combined different floral prints together.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #7: Lace dresses. Lace has been a trend since last spring but it doesn’t lose its popularity in Spring/ Summer 2012. Lace has become more delicate though. Erdem, Preen, Oscar de la Renta, Bebe and other designers and brands used lace in their ranges.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #8: White dresses. Like in every warm season white dresses are among favorites during Spring/ Summer 2012. They come in different fabrics and styles but always look lovely.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #9: Peplums. Just like lace peplums are not new in vogue. They have been with us for a couple of seasons and will stay for Spring/ Summer 2012. Peplums have become bigger and bolder and now come on both casual and evening dresses. Versace peplums are long and flat. Badgley Mischka, Alexander McQueen and Jason Wu made more voluminous peplums. And Rodarte peplums are very puffy.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #10: Frills. Spring/ Summer 2012 collections have many dresses with frills and pleats. While some look neat and classy others are huge and eye-catching.

And of course Spring/ Summer 2012 collections abound with evening dresses which are luxurious and sophisticated, perfect for a red carpet event or an important occasion.

I’m not a huge fan of Duchess of Cambridge’s style, which I think is a little boring (though I understand why she doesn’t go bolder in her fashion choices) but the black strapless gown she wore to A Night of Heroes at the Imperial War Museum in London was amazing.

The velvet dress with a heart neckline decorated with delicate frills was created by one of Duchess of Cambridge’s favorite brands – Alexander McQueen. And unlike her usual fashion options this cost her £4,000.

Duchess finished the dress with a diamond-and-ruby necklace reported to have been given to her as a wedding present by a mystery admirer. She also added matching earrings and a bracelet to her look.

Kate was accompanied by her husband William and his brother Prince Harry to the event.

Lady Gaga has become more open recently. She started talking not only about fashion and music but also about relationships, self-doubts, fears and things she regrets. For the January 2012 issue of Elle Gaga has shared a few of her secrets that will be interesting for both her fans and critics.

Lady Gaga has landed two covers of Elle January 2012. She looks perfect on both. One of the front pages features the pop star wearing an Alexander McQueen dress, very elaborate in design. Another cover shows the singer in Simone Rocha dress and a mask in the matching color.

Lady Gaga has given a frank interview to be published in Elle January 2012 edition. She told that orgasms helped her to stay fresh-faced, that she has never been happy with a man and many other interesting things.

Read the highlights from Lady Gaga’s interview for Elle:

Lady Gaga on being unaware of what happiness with a man feels like: “I have never felt truly cherished by a lover. I have an inability to know what happiness feels like with a man.”

Lady Gaga on how her relationships start and end: “I have this effect on people where it starts out good. Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.”

Lady Gaga on her low points: “I had abusive relationships: I dated men much older than me – I was 15, they were 30 – which I don’t recommend. I was never brave enough to be the person who I am today.”

Lady Gaga on her fans, “Little Monsters”: “My fans don’t care what I am, that’s what I like about them. They don’t care if I’m a boy or a girl or an in-between or a phoenix or a mermaid or a unicorn. They don’t care.”

Lady Gaga on regrets: “I don’t regret anything. If I’d known things back then I wouldn’t be where I am now, because so much of who I am is based on a lack of fear. I have no fear.”

Lady Gaga on how she’d like to be remembered: “Many people really don’t like what I do – or how I sing or what music I make – but some of those people admire the commitment to the work. That to me is more important than anything.”

It was not easy for Sarah Burton to take after Alexander McQueen in the brand founded by the genius deceased designer but she was able to cope and went even further. She designed the wedding dress for Duchess of Cambridge, the dress that was named one of the most beautiful wedding dresses of all ever created. So, the title that Harper’s Bazaar gave to Burton yesterday – Designer of the Year – was well-deserved.

Sarah Burton received the accolade at the Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year Awards that was held at Claridge’s Hotel in London last night. She wasn’t the only one to be honored at the event. Designer Tom Ford was presented with Man in a Woman’s World award. Actress Helena Bonham-Carter took the Role Model of the Year prize. Models Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova, Yasmin Le Bon and Cindy Crawford all were named Fashion Icons of the Year.

Mullet dresses are easy to wear. But a few rules still have to be followed to create the best impression. First, you have to decide how long you want your front hemline to be. If you have beautiful slender legs you can choose a mini version (but don’t go too mini if you want to look appropriate!). Or you can opt for a longer hemline to leave just your sandals visible in case you feel insecure about legs or just want little exposure down there to make people focus on something else (your neckline, for instance).

Your second step is to decide on the length of your back hemline. You can try a long train for an evening occasion or shorter variant for a cocktail party or a casual look.

Next think of the actual design of the dress you would like to wear. It can be simple and sculpted, or chic, full and flouncy. You can even consider rocking a huge puffy mullet dress (remember Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress by Alexander McQueen at the Sex And The City 2 premiere).

The last but not the least thing to consider is the type of shoe to wear with a mullet dress. Heels are the only option and the higher the better. Flats don’t work with mullets.

By the way, designers have made loads of mullet dresses for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 fashion season and even more for Spring/ Summer 2011. See how Michael Kors, Betsey Johnson and Marchesa see the new mullet. And compare that to the ideas from Mary Katrantzou, Bebe and Emilio Pucci for the nest season.

Now you know that mullets are again in fashion and you are aware of the ways one should wear them to look best. So, why not star looking for a perfect one to impress your friends?
