Get inspired by one of her most recent chic looks–perfect for the transitioning weather!
What do you think of Pernille's style? Who are your favorite personal style bloggers?
It's weird to think that by 2015 we're supposed to have hoverboards. Hate to break it to ya, Marty McFly, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting wheel-less skateboards or hovering vehicles within the next year. Seriously, Apple should stop making watches and start investing more time and money on hoverboards–their stock would go crazy!
It also makes me sad that past predictions of future fashions have not yet come to fruition. I am still waiting for the day that we get totally stellar looks in the style of Zenon (Girl of the 21st Century, which by the way is this century so we should definitely be having space station rock concerts by now, am I right?) but it seems that fashion designers have finally answered my prayers. Especially at London Fashion Week, holographic materials were on-trend following the rock-n-roll/rave influences of the season.
For spring, don't be afraid to add some high shine to your look with a metallic moto vest or a sparkling mini skirt. Such iridescent pieces are best paired with classic pieces (silk blouses or knit sweaters, perhaps) but be weary; these looks are not for wallflowers. You'll be sure to be the center of attention in one of these dazzling get-ups, which is what makes holographic materials perfectly suited for a night out on the town or an awesome concert.
Would you dare to wear a futuristic holographic skirt or jacket?

It would be wrong, as a fashion blog entitled "The Fashion Barbie", to ignore a runway show that paid homage to the pink-loving, over-the-top blonde doll in a ridiculous and literal way that only Moschino can get away with. If last season's consumerist-culture-obsessed collection proved, no one does tacky with such style as Moschino and Jeremy Scott.
For spring 2015, Scott placed an emphasis on the day-glo colors and bold geometric patterns of Barbie's eighties heyday, That meant jazzercise-ready tracksuits, multicolor matching sets, ultra-short skirts, and of course, PINK!
The collection also referenced Moschino's classic forms (coincidentally, also 80s-based) of mini-skirt suits, logomania, and chain-linking. Of particular interest was the play on materials and sizing: buttons and belt buckles were comically enlarged to an Alice in Wonderland-type effect, and plastic reigned supreme amongst the accessories. I suppose life in plastic really is fantastic (Cue the Aqua).
In a fashion week (month?) that has felt a little like Groundhog Day, Moschino is definitely up to the same old tricks, but somehow it feels like some of the freshest fashion around. There's something to be said for a brand that isn't afraid to have some fun and be silly. And come on guys, let's be honest, who doesn't want to dress like a Fashion Barbie?

| Prabal Gurung | Rodarte | Jason Wu | Rodarte | Monique Lhuillier |
Prabal Gurung had dresses that reflected the twinkling surface of the ocean shore and will look just as fabulous on the red carpet. Jason Wu did an oceanic take on his usual modern glamour. I could totally see Ariel wearing this look to meet Eric on a date (you know, if Ariel and Eric were real people living in the 21st century). And Monique Lhuillier was full of skirts and dresses that quite closely resembled the iridescent scales of a fish (or a half-woman, half-fish, as the case may be).
The trend lends itself to some awesome editorial material, so hopefully Grace Coddington and the like will jump on that opportunity. And then of course there is the recently announced Sofia Coppola version of The Little Mermaid. Can I get my hopes up and pray that the Mulleavy sisters design the costumes?
