Headbands at James Coviello, Diane von Furstenberg, and Three As Four.


Style tip?  Headbands have been around for a couple of seasons now.  But this season’s headband is more embellished, more ornate.  Pair this headband with something equally floaty and feminine.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Gingham

Gingham at Lacoste, Trovata, and Reyes.


Style tip?  Gingham doesn’t have to be tiny, as it’s traditionally found.  Lacoste and Trovata both expanded the size of the gingham pattern for a bold, graphic effect.  Generally, the taller you are, the more oversized of a pattern you can wear - but even the giant gingham print at Trovata can be worn by most.

Style tip?  Floaty goddess gowns are a key eveningwear trend for Spring 2009.  Wear these drapey gowns with bold, strappy sandals -  a solid foundation for a truly ethereal look.

Electric Pink at Verrier, Doo Ri, and Costello Tagliapietra.


Style tip?  Pink may not be the new Black, but electric pink is a striking choice for waking up your Spring wardrobe.  Though a shade of brown would be a traditional accompaniment, we’re loving electric pink paired with a muted grey.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Peep Toe Boots

Peep Toe Boots at 3.1 Philip Lim, Miss Sixty, and Twinkle.


Style tip?  We’re already seeing the peep toe boot this Fall - and it appears that the trend will continue through Spring.  It’s an offbeat trend, but the peep toe detail softens the inherent hardness of the boot.

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

Paperbag Waistlines at Issac Mizrahi, Zac Posen, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.


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).

Thick Strap Sandals at Charlotte Ronson, Oscar de la Renta, and Tuleh.


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.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Red and Pink

Red and Pink at Tuleh, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Oscar de la Renta.


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.
