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.

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).

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!

Style tip? Not all florals are drawn alike–so pick the type that fits your personality. Are you breezy and laid back? Try a flowing floral print, like the Tuleh dress. Uptown elegant? Pick a garden party floral fit for hanging at a museum. Modern chic? Reach for a measured graphic print, like the dress at Peter Som.

Style tip? Can we talk about how great blood orange is? It’s such a lively, fresh color that can wake up even the cloudiest of days. Wear any of these blood orange cocktail dresses, and you’re sure to turn heads.

Style tip? Fall’s Trenchcoats are structured and form fitting. Spring’s version of this classic coat is lighter and more feminine, with oversized collars, a cinched waist, and a flared skirt.

Style tip? Look at the shape the cutouts make - are they sleek and streamlined (ThreeAsFour, pictured left), architectural (James Coviello, pictured center), or are they organic and haphazard (Alexander Wang, pictured right)? If you can find cutouts that fit your personality, they can add such character to your outfit!

Style tip? Contrast the softness of the peach color with a pair of edgy shoes, as seen at Costello Tagliapietra and Alexander Wang. Like all pastel colors, the darker your skin tone, the better the color looks on you. Beware - if you have super fair skin, peach probably isn’t going to be your color.

Style tip? When you limit your color palette to black and white, let loose and go wild with pattern. No matter how crazy the pattern is, your outfit will still embody a certain elegant graphic sensibility. Or if you’re not feeling too wild, stick with stripes (a la Carolina Herrera) for a chic, put together look.

Style tip? Accessorize without visually cutting your body in two by choosing a belt in a color similar to your dress (as at Peter Som). Or make a statement with a bold, contrast color belt - or two.
