Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
by Carmen Ondonez

Last week, Miami took center stage for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. I got an up-close and personal look at some of latest trends we’ll be seeing for 2013–high-waisted bottoms, sexy cutouts and embellished bikini tops. But for those of us not wanting to wait until next year to rock these trends, here’s how you can take these runway looks from the beach to everyday wear.

Black and white was all over the runway from designers such as Dorit to Red Carter. There’s something just so elegant and chic about this color combo. This David’s Bridal strapless bodice dress is the perfect way to get this trend without the 100-degree weather.

It wouldn’t be swim week in Miami without some glitz and glamour–and the swimwear from White Sands Australia definitely brought it. If you’re looking to add some shine to your next get together, then check out this all-over sequin blouson dress—it’s oh so fab!

Embellished necklines were all the rage at swim week, like this one from Cote d’Or. To recreate the look, opt for this one-shouldered number from David’s Bridal. It’s sophisticated, yet sexy and the best part is you don’t have to worry about accessorizing.

I’m a big fan of this turquoise one-shoulder bathing suit from ANK. It definitely makes any tan pop. This gorgeous short sleeve taffeta gown is a great way to get the trend from the beach to your next event.

We’ve all heard the news that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are engaged! Aniston has fabulous style that is chic, down-to-earth and always flattering, so we chose a few dresses that we think will be definite head turners! While she is a fashionista at heart, she is always timeless and feminine.

Our top pick is a Galina strapless soft fit and flare lace gown with body shaping seaming details that will fit perfect to her youthful body.

This long, sleek, sexy Galina Signature gown with an open back is perfect for her figure and has the look and feel of old Hollywood Glamor.

Our last pick is this elegant and unique Galina Signature charmeuse gown as it balances glamour with timeless beauty!

Every bride should know the best wedding gowns are the ones that best fit your unique, beautiful shape. And I have been loving the flurry of celebrity weddings this season! 2010 has been a runway of A-list celebs donning gorgeous dresses, showing us a variety of styles for their big day.

Hilary Duff really took advantage of her big day to display her sultry curves. Truly living up to fairy tale fashion, her elegant train cascaded from the knees and kept going on….and on and on! For the rest of you curvaceous cuties out there, this David’s Bridal Mikado gown with ruffle back is a match made in heaven. Not only will the fit and flare skim every ounce of your curves, but the rippling of this luxurious train makes for a gorgeous walk down the aisle. I especially love the beaded neckline that creates an attractive glimmer for all those close up shots. I also suggest playing up the beads with an iridescent shimmer on your skin for a refreshing pearly glow. Showcase the pearlescent finishes with opals, turquoises, and even rose gold jewelry.

Next take a look at our favorite country crooner, Carrie Underwood. I’m obsessed with how her elegant gown showcased her toned and trim physique! With the amount she works out, she has every reason to flaunt her great shoulder line and toned arms. Carrie’s strapless gown not only shows off her dainty décolletage, but also really opens up her bright smile. Not to mention she’s right on trend with this immaculate Chantilly lace bodice, which made Carrie look perfectly petite. Delicate textures like this can really whittle your middle, something we all love! You don’t have to have the same athletic lean build to wear it well like Underwood. In fact, this Oleg Cassini lace trumpet gown allows any woman’s shape to be celebrated. You can even personalize it with a sash to match the colors of your beautiful day, or impro-fashionize it with your own soft sash of lace.

Then there’s the magnificently talented and utterly beautiful, Alicia Keys. It’s no surprise this bride was in a fashionable state of mind to select a gown with an asymmetrical shoulder drape, a tasty trend we’ve been loving this year. The soft sheath perfectly enveloped her barely there bump and showcased how we’ve fallen for her forward fashion sense! Alicia definitely brought us a unique wedding style that no one, no one, no one, can rock like her. For a similar style, check out this Galina soft chiffon A-line gown. What I like about this gown even more is the floral detailing on the strap itself, and the sheath is made up of various soft layers to give you a romantic movement as you walk down that aisle with style. Just make sure to gloss up that shoulder line with Scott Barnes’ Body Bling, or your own version of a skin glow. Spray it on shoulder tops and avoid beneath the arms – they won’t catch the light much anyway, and you can avoid staining the sides of your dress.

There you have it my brides-to-be, three star studded reasons why you, too, can make your wedding day blissful. With these David’s Bridal selections and your own added personal touch, I vow you’ll wow your guests and have your groom starry-eyed, too!
