Style tip?  Purple’s a huge trend for Fall, and it continues on for Spring.  From royal purple to fuschia to eggplant, purple is a great way to warm up your Spring wardrobe.  Pair purple with accessories in warm metallic shades.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Paperbag Waistline

Style tip?  Spring 2009 is characterized by selective volume - on slouchy pants, poufy sleeves, and and bubble shaped skirts.  The paperbag waistline is a fresh take on selective volume - plus the naturally high waistline can visually elongate the leg and make you look taller (or allow you to wear cropped pants).

Style tip?  Spring’s sandal is bold - with thick straps and a high heel.  And it works as well with feminine, floaty outfits as it does with tailored, structured ones.

Style tip?  Bold graphic prints are making their way down the runway - not only on shirts, but also on dramatic full-length dresses.  Keep your silhouettes clean to let the graphics shine.

Style tip?  Red and pink don’t traditionally go together, but they’re appearing together on the runways for Spring.  Our favorite red and pink combination pairs a bright fire engine red with a bold electric pink, a la Marc by Marc Jacobs and Tuleh.

Style tip?  Booties are tough to wear, as they visually shorten your legs - so they’re best worn by women with long, lean legs. If you dare to wear booties, pair them with a short skirt or shorts to visually extend your legs as much as possible.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Brightly Colored Handbags

Style tip?  Whoever said that clothes make the (wo)man forgot about the power of accessories.  There’s nothing quite like a brightly colored handbag to punch up an outfit, regardless of how simple or embellished that outfit is.  Try fire engine red, like the Miss Sixty handbag, or opt for an elegant orange (a la Diane von Furstenberg).


What do you think?  Would you carry a brightly colored handbag?  If so, what color?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Style tip?  We’re loving the structured volume that well placed ruffles can create.  They’re great at adding visual volume where you want it.  No hips?  Try tiers of tiny ruffles, a la Preen.  Small bust?  Wear ruffles at your chest to camouflage.  Problems solved!
