Style tip? Beige doesn’t have to be boring. You can get a chic monochromatic look by mixing different shades of beige, as seen at Luca Luca and Erin Fetherston. Finish off your beige look with a shoe in a nice pastel shade - or gold.

Style tip? The disco 70s and the over-the-top 80s shone a spotlight on sequins and shine - so in today’s backwards looking fashion culture, it’s no surprise to see a resurgence of this glittery embellishment. Our favorite look places these sequins all over a cocktail-length dress in a simple silhouette. With these sequined disco dresses, keep your other accessories minimal - a snappy pair of heels and a clutch will do the trick.

Style tip? Whether you’re breaking out the shoulderpads, wearing a sharp shouldered blazer, or trying out pouf sleeves, you’re working one of Spring 2010’s most important silhouette trends. We love the sharp shoulder paired with more unstructured pieces - as seen with the hard-meets-soft silhouette at Preen. If you want to draw extra attention towards your sharp shoulders, layer on a statement necklace.

Style tip? Unleash your inner animal with gorgeous leopard, zebra, and reptile prints. Wear a single print - as at LAMB and Monique Lhuillier - or mix things up with multiple animal prints (as seen at Diane von Furstenberg). Not so sure about animal prints? Try a leopard or zebra print scarf, paired with a slouchy tee and slim leg pants.

Style tip? Vests are a wonderful layering item for Spring (and Fall, for that matter, where they fit neatly under jackets and overcoats). And we’re loving the blossoming variety of Vest styles that we’re seeing this season. Charlotte Ronson’s vest is the closest to the standard tailored variety we’ve been seeing for the last few seasons - but this one feels more like a sleeveless jacket. Cynthia Steffe’s vest feels more utility - like a woman’s version of a fisherman’s vest, paired with pretty florals instead of trouser pants. And Ports 1961’s vest goes bold with metallic embellishments and a full-length silhouette. So go on, have some fun with Vests - and don’t be afraid to contrast styles - masculine with feminine, soft with hard, and shine with matte.

Style tip? What we love about vibrant yellow is that it’s upbeat, yet somehow relaxed (think "mellow yellow"). It looks great on tanned and darker skin tones. For Asian women, try a bright shade of yellow (like the sunny shade seen at Preen). What color shoes to pair with yellow? You can’t go wrong with grey.

Style tip? How do you turn a simple monochromatic outfit into something fabulous? Mix things up with contrasting textures. Mix smooth with rough, knits with wovens, shiny with matte. The more contrast, the better when you’re working with a simple color palette.

Style tip? Maybe it’s the effect of the depressed economy, maybe it’s the influence of elegant Michelle Obama–but restrained, ladylike fashion is fully in style. So don your gloves, pull on a polished skirt suit, or slip into a sophisticated ball gown.

Style tip? Be bold with gold. Wear it head to toe (as at Lela Rose), or tone it down by pairing it with neutrals (as at Philip Lim) or other warm colors (like the orange-gold combo at Milly).
