Oversized Bows at Proenza Schouler, Carolina Herrera, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.


Style tip?  Bows have been in for the last several seasons, but this season’s bow is decidedly oversized for drama.  One way to work it is to give a feminine touch to an otherwise masculine outfit.

Elegant Floral Prints at Cynthia Steffe, Derek Lam, and Milly.


Style tip? 
Prints took a decidedly floral turn this season, an evolution from the graphic, geometric prints of the past few seasons.  Choose a print in proportion to your body–e.g. if you’re petite, opt for a smaller print.

The Long Blazer at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Philip Lim.


Style tip?  Cropped blazers dominated the fashion scene for the past several seasons, which is great for long waisted gals.  But for those of us with a short waist and long legs, the long blazer is much more figure flattering.

Funnel necklines at James Coviello, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Luca Luca.


Style tip? 
Like turtlenecks, funnel neck garments work best on those with long necks.  If you’re not blessed with a long swan neck, try a more open funnel neckline, a la Marc Jacobs.

Day Glo Brights at Temperley London, Diane von Furstenberg, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.


Style tip? 
Bright pinks, greens, and yellows have their place on the runway–and on the streets.  Pair with neutrals (or a muted tone in the same color family, a la DVF)  for the most dramatic effect.

Style tip?  Feathers are a decadent way choice for cocktail hour and beyond.  Keep the rest of the outfit simple to focus attention on your gorgeous plumes.
