1980s inspired fashion at Betsey Johnson, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Preen.


Style tip?  Ah, the 80s.  The oversized sweater, the giant pouf sleeves, the leggings. 
Wear with irony (and sparingly).

Forest Green at Catherine Malandrino, Cynthia Steffe, and Doo Ri.


Style tip?  Forest green looks smashing with a rich brown (as at Doo Ri), with teal (at Cynthia Steffe), or with a ray of bright yellow sunshine.

What do you think?  Would you wear forest green?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Quirky Hats at Carolina Herrera, James Coviello, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.


Style tip?  Since quirky hats are the focal point of your outfit, keep the rest of the outfit simple and in the same color family.

Floor Length Dresses at BCBG, Lela Rose, and Oscar de la Renta.


Style tip?  Dark colors are most figure flattering, but why not try a column of color?  The monochromatic floor length dress will give you a long, lean look, regardless of hue.

What do you think?  Would you wear a floor length dress?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Fishnet detailing at Verrier, Baby Phat, and Sass & Bide.


Style tip?  An overtly sexy item, fishnets are best worn with garments that are somewhat more conservative.  Fishnets + Skintight Minidress = Not Stylish.

What do you think?  Would you wear fishnets?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

The Color Purple at Diane Von Furstenberg, Abaete, and Oscar de la Renta.


Style tip? 
Purple continues its reign over the catwalk this season.  Go bright (like Abaete) or dress in a more muted shade (like Oscar de la Renta).  Purple pairs wonderfully with a splash of yellow–or chocolatey browns.

What do you think?  Would you wear the color purple?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!
