Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trend: Orange


Besides white, the other trendy color to wear this Spring and Summer is orange. This hue was featured prominently on the SS2011 runways (Above: Prada, Costume National, Hermes, Versace). While orange comes in many different shades, the on-trend shade is a bright almost neon orange. Admittedly, this color is not going to work the best on all skin tones, so while I recommend giving this trend a try, be sure to have a discriminating eye as the color may simply not work for you. If, however, you are ready to give this orange-trend a try, below are some options to consider: BDG basic knit tank dress for $32 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Cooperative canvas strap wedge for $48 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Lauren Active "Lilly" three-quarter sleeve hoodie for $59.50 on www.macys.com; Ecote tiedye maxi dress for $49 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Tiered lace tank for $48 on www.nastygal.com; Planet Gold sleeveless v-neck zipper ponte mini shift dress on sale for $26.99 on www.macys.com; Sanguinelli cardigan for $42.99 on www.modcloth.com; Moschitto Designs large filgree cuff for $54 on www.nordstrom.com; NY Collection sleeveless ruffle placket belted shirtdress for $54 on www.macys.com; Tory Burch "Bev" tumbled leather moccasins for $275 on www.bloomingdales.com; Style & Co. short sleeve smocked peasant top for $14.98 on www.macys.com; Patterson J.

Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trend: Woven Accessories


When you think of warm weather, do you picture sitting outside on a warm day in a wicker chair with a cold glass of lemonade? Well, now picture wearing that wicker chair! Ok, not really, but woven shoes and handbags are going to be a hot trend this Spring and Summer (Above: Fendi; Tabitha Simmons; Gucci; Marni). I already have an oversized woven clutch from Cole Haan that I love to wear during the summer months, so I am really liking this trend. What do you think?

Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trend: Asian Inspiration


Asian-inspired prints and details were prominent in many of the SS2011 collections (Above: Givenchy; Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti; Dries Van Noten; Louis Vuitton). I like this trend because many of the prints are quite feminine and the fabrics are flowy, which suit my girly aesthetic, but I think you have to be careful not to go overboard with this trend (i.e., the hat at Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti above). Otherwise, you run the risk of looking like you are wearing a costume. If this trend is appealing to you, below are some options to consider: Elie Tahari "Kathryn" jersey shift dress for $248 on www.nordstrom.com; Ksenia scarf sleeve top for $138 on www.bcbg.com; Tibi strapless print dress for $363 on www.shopbop.com; "Crane or Shine" dress for $139.99 on www.modcloth.com; Sakura wrap dress for $58 on www.nastygal.com; Silk flower tunic for $129 on www.bebe.com; Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent tunic dress for $365 on www.nordstrom.com; Foley + Corinna cowl back floral top for $275 on www.shopbop.com; Shimmer woven kimono dress for $159 on www.bebe.com; One-shoulder kimono top for $22.80 on www.forever21.com; Karen Zambos Vintage Couture kimono dress for $231 on www.shopbop.com; Leith drape-sleeve silk jacket for $228 on www.nordstrom.com.
