The result is seriously cool as fans of the brand and passionate fashionistas can easily attest it.

Diane von Furstenberg Dresses 2013

Gone are the days when conspicuous feminine vibes were the best strategy to get noticed and be perceived as spectacularly beautiful. This season, the dominant position is a subtler, modern feminine allure. The Diane von Furstenberg pre-fall 2013 collection surely elaborated on the idea with a myriad of styles that aim towards the androgynous allure.

Modern vibes were beautifully emphasized in a multitude of simple yet powerful elements which served as powerful focal points. The strict focus on perfectly defined proportions, geometric vibes and abstract prints dominates in the collections of the most important brands in the industry and Diane von Furstenberg surely joins this year's trendsetters with fabulous interpretations that don't belong solely on the runway as it is the case with some of the over the top creations of brands for which statement wear is a key concept.

Dresses are still the main staple that wins the title of the new season must-have in the designer's eyes.

Pencils At The Ready

 As seen at: Erdem, Roland Mouret, Christopher Kane, Burberry Prorsum

 How to wear: Ladylike and demure or sexy and sophisticated, the pencil skirt is fashion gold. This season it takes centre stage in clashing colourways and on-trend patterns.

Zac Posen Dresses 2013

Dresses, whether we're talking about the cocktail ones or spectacular evening gowns, have the power to turn every single look in the right direction and become the instant spotlight. Sexiness blends with classiness for an outstanding effect. Femininity radiates through each and every single one of the designs that marks the new season creations.

Even leather gets beautifully interpreted to match the spirit of the new collection and makes the most of the new season options. Gorgeous mermaid dresses steal the spotlight and Maria Callas proved the perfect muse for refined alternatives that cannot go unnoticed.

Playing with volume is the key concept that becomes skillfully reflected throughout the new season alternatives and which gets the absolutely desirable impact in the spotlight. With the gowns ensuring the wow factor by themselves, there's little need for accessories to make the final impact.

Juicy Couture Dresses 2013

uicy Couture is continuing its venture into new terrain with its pre-fall 2013 designs and the result is hot, hot, hot! The brand's decision to rethink and reinvent its style has worked as apparently the designs provide a higher dose of variety appropriate for a wider age group.

Long gone are the days when the iconic velour tracksuit dominated the Juicy Couture offerings as nowadays the brand concentrates on bringing chic garments that vary from comfy jeans and shorts to flirty dresses, fabulous blazers and stylish tees. However, the outfit that helped push the brand to fame, the tracksuit, is also present although it takes on a more subtle presence that gets lost in the sizzling up-to-date silhouettes that dominate the collection.

 Juicy Couture's creative director, LeAnn Nealz, decided to take a fun and flirty, almost summery approach to style with its pre-fall 2013 collection, which seems a bit of a gamble since most designers chose to incorporate autumnal pigments in their designs. However, the bright color palette of the collection, combined with down to earth elements and patterns, gives Juicy Couture that certain 'je ne sais quoi' that conquers from first glimpse.

Roberto Cavalli 2013 Collection

We can always count on Roberto Cavalli to take us through another style dimension and makes us forget the winter chills and instantly create a strong desire to rock some of the hottest ensembles shown regardless of the season.

If the Roberto Cavalli resort 2013 collection managed to give us an idea of the current trends endorsed, the new campaign highlights the true style potential of the creations shown. The added sexy vibe is more obvious than ever and Anne Vyalitsyna and Karolina Kurkova prove the perfect choices for bringing out the label's spirit in its entirety. It wouldn't feel like Cavalli if there wasn't a wide array of intricate prints to choose from and the label sure knows how to play on its strengths and keep its fans pleased yet yearning for more at the same time.

 Aside from the iconic animal prints that the label has become so well known for, the label now tackles a more abstract perspective that falls right in line with the fabulous new style direction most major style influencers are headed to.

Oscar de la Renta Dresses 2013

Femininity is an expected allure when talking about Oscar de la Renta and the pre-fall 2013 collection certainly didn't fall short as far as expectations are concerned. With balance and sophistication both expressed differently throughout the collection, with both uber elegant alternatives and less formal style options, the label gives a well rounded perspective of the defining style elements that will mark the upcoming season.

Retro vibes become instantly distinguishable and '70s style once again shows its potential to dazzle through the multifaceted creative approach. Still, the options aren't as romantic and as girly as one might expect. For the most part, things are fairly balanced and subtle and proportions are perfectly defined in order to draw attention precisely to the desired features.

The abstract touch that began defining the Oscar de la Renta spring 2013 collection print-wise will still be popular in the final days of the warm seasons of the next year. Dresses and skirts are must haves in the retailers book and the options are as diverse as they can get.

Max Mara Spring 2013 Collection

A timelessly elegant allure is certainly a desirable attribute that the label explores through a simple modern perspective where minimalism is valued and its principles are put to good use. Proportions vary generously and contrast is easily achieved as oversized pieces are combined with more body conscious ones for maximum style impact.

The color palette is surprisingly consistent and the focus towards prints and noticeable distinctive textural details is kept to a minimum. Still, we manage to see that the label still focuses on animal prints for a luxurious and sophisticated vibe that will outlive the seasonal trends. The relaxed fit and the occasional masculine touches with little eye-popping details might seem a little simplistic on their own, yet proper accessozing changes the perspective significantly.

 Though the accessories stay in the timeless style zone, the options provide a sense of completion and a fab touch. No need to worry that the sunglasses from the newest collection or the versatile handbags will end up gathering dust in your closets. Their high quality, practical touches and incredible appeal will enable you to sport the pieces for a multitude of occasions.

Pixie Hairstyles for Round Faces

If you love short hairstyles, it's more than likely that you have given pixie hairstyles a thought. The secret to success, as with any hairstyle, is choosing the right hairstyle for your face shape. If those blessed with oval faces can pretty much experiment with a multitude of styles, finding a good pixie haircut for round face is a bit more challenging.

Still, though this style is a bit challenging, it doesn't mean that brave souls with an eye for daring haircuts should abandon the idea. Still, when beginning to select between the multitude of pixie haircuts for round faces, you should keep some helpful guidelines into account.
