Revisiting Spring '11: Part 4

Confession: I don't pull off rocker-chic all that well. My hourglass shape craves lady-like clothing and my eye tends to go for florals and volume (a bit of a man repeller combo.)

This look from the Burberry Prorsum Spring '11 RTW show might pull me out of my pretty-rut. Christopher Bailey manages to reinvent the trench, again, with a collection that's a little Olivia Newton John and a little Emma Watson. Who wouldn't want to be that combination?

Revisiting Spring '11: Part 3

Getting excited for spring yet? I'm ignoring the snow and dreaming of bright colors, wooden shoes, and florals, florals, florals, oh my.

Prada's Spring '11 RTW collection took florals to another level adding sailor-inspired stripes and once again, flatforms. A bright floral skirt can come off a little too lady-like. Adding a contrasting top a la Prada only ups the cool factor.

Revisiting Spring '11: Part 2

Yesterday we explored brights with neutrals thanks to Fendi's Spring RTW show. Today, I'm obsessing over 3.1 Phillip Lim's sporty/sexy collection. No actual sports activity required, I promise.

The pants are an amazing alternative to denim made extra-sporty with a contrasting racing stripe. This is definitely something everyone can wear-with a cami underneath to keep the look decidedly nipple-free.

Revisiting Spring '11

While in October we lusted after the Spring RTW runway shows, now that bright and sunny clothes are actually in stores, the looks become even more lust-worthy. Here are some I think are worth a second look with pieces to create the the perfect ensemble, because spring is only 59 days away.

Fendi

I'm obsessed with the combo of brights and neutrals in the Fendi show. This look caught my eye because of my American Apparel long, tan skirt that sometimes I have no idea what to do with. I usually pair it with black but a bright top is so much more chic.

The Good, the Bad, and the Sticking Around

Trends can be daunting for a lot of people. There's a thin line between fashion forward and fashion victim. My advice? Try using street style pics (or people watch) to borrow from their looks. It's not being a copycat; part of fashion is getting inspiration from other people. I suggest picking one trend you like and incorporating it into your wardrobe to make it your own. If your favorite store is J Crew and you think you could never rock socks with sandals, try a casual shoe with tailored jeans and a preppy blazer. Just because you've seen people wear tiny dresses with the socks/sandals combo, doesn't mean you have to!

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing she got these socks at American Apparel. I think I own them. When I want to tone done the frilliness, I pair them with a chunky, more substantial heel.

Try the denim shirt with dressy black shorts for daytime or to tone down evening wear.

How about a neon yellow skirt? SO chic with khaki!

Flares can be so figure flattering. Keep the top modern with a girly blouse and you'll feel less cowgirl.

Pair your sheer top with a cami instead of just a bra for a less revealing on-trend look.

Monochromatic is one of my favorite trends. It's easy to do with a basic color, like navy. Incorporate a slightly off shade to add dimension.

A polka-dot blouse goes with nearly everything.

Western ankle boots are going to be everywhere. Get a jump start by swapping sandals for boots in a shade of nude instead of black to keep the look summer ready.

Pair stripes with denim and let people think you're French. Keep the stripes thin and therefore figure flattering. Try them instead of a cami under a suit for a small pop of the trend.

Nude outfits still look chic long into fall with the addition of some brown boots.

Florals add a girly touch to an all black ensemble and based on the fall runway they aren't going anywhere.

The one trend I would say, "Don't try at home?" Leather shorts. Here's hoping they leave the fashion world for good-or at least a few seasons.

In honor of my first ever day of jury duty, (I'm such an adult) let's take a look at some of my favorites outfits from one of the best movies ever, Legally Blonde. I'm deciding which way to go tomorrow: preppy and boyish or over the top girly? I have to have some fun with this boring day!

Prada heels, of course.

The Perfect Denim Shirt for Every Body

The denim shirt is a huge trend for Spring but it can be tough to get right. Here are 3 ways for 3 different body types.

Skinny: Chambray Workshirt by Madewell

Button up this lightweight top and tuck it into high waisted jeans of a COMPLETELY different wash. Another idea? Wear it loose over a black body-con mini with ballet flats. Add pretty jewelry to keep it from being too cowgirl.

Curvy: The Perfect Shirt by Current/Elliott

This one works because of the thicker material which hugs and accentuates curves without getting them lost. Wear in place of a cardigan over a floral dress or tucked into a girly voluminous mini.

Plus Sized: Blue Denim Shirt by Evans

This longer, more structured shirt, will look amazing on plus sized girls with leggings or skinny black pants. Belt the waist to create an even more gorgeous hour glass silhouette.
