3 Spring Trends I Love

Goodbye fall and winter trends, aloha to Spring 2013! This spring, there are a ton of new trends to abide by, but the 3 most favorite of all for me? Bermuda shorts, leather luxe, and peek-a-boo pieces.
To start, Bermuda shorts were all over the New York runways for Spring 2013, from Peter Som to DKNY, this slouchy, cool-girl short look is a look we all could pull off in office or on a day to day basis.  This ultra chic, flattering look could be dressed up or dressed down, I suggest you pair them with a button up collared shirt and a bib necklace, and voila!

Leather luxe is not just for winter months anymore, mix and match leather pieces, such as leather shorts or leather accented tops for a luxe leather look for Spring 2013.  Create a no fuss approach with minimalistic hair, makeup and accessories, and you'll have a no stress, no sweat factor look. For inspiration, look to designers like Derek Lam, Monique Lhuillier, and Proenza Schouler, that make leather luxe look easy as pie!

Lastly, who doesn't love a lil peek-a-boo, cut out here, cut out there on their spring outfit look? This spring, there will be no problem finding something sexy to wear with all the daring cutouts, baring midriffs, splits, sheer fabrics, and peek-a-boo clothing options out there.  Check out what was on the runways at BCBG, Alexander Wang, and Diane von Furstenberg for some sheer, daring cutout inspiration.

Can you see yourself wearing one of these 3 spring trends?  What is your fave?

With summer coming to a slow end and fall creeping on in, it’s time to know the must have items for fall 2010. You may think you know what your must haves are, but I know they will be your must “could HAVE beens” once you get through my short but truly must have items list.

CAMEL COAT

Runways from New York to Milan showcased camel non-stop for fall 2010, and no I’m not talkin’ the animal. Let’s just say, this season, camel is the new black.

SEQUINS

As much as we hate to love them, they are in and here to stay, for yet another fine season. Spice up a bland outfit with sequin shoes, sequin headband, and sequin anything for that matter.

STATEMENT RINGS

Who doesn’t love wearing an obnoxiously large ring that makes you feel like a Queen? That’s right, I hear no one complaining or protesting, so go find yourself a nice big ol’ ring and flaunt them hands around, you know people will be loving you and your dandy ring, your highness.

MESSENGER BAGS

Perfect to stuff all the “necessities” of our day but cute enough to go out from day to night, quilted chain messenger hand bags are a must have for fall, as a matter of fact, any time of year with these fabuloso finds.
