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.

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.

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).

What do you think?  Would you wear pants with a paperbag waistline?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

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.

Spring 2009 Fashion Week Trend: Booties

Booties at Miss Sixty, DKNY, and Costello Tagliapietra.


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.

What do you think?  Would you wear booties?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Brightly Colored Handbags at Miss Sixty, Herve Leger, and Diane von Furstenberg.


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!
