Spring Style

Spring is hard to resist, especially when you have spent most of the winter covered up--and layered in dark clothing. You want your toes to break free, your arms to feel an evening breeze, and your skin to reflect the colors of the season. This coming Elle Fashion Week will celebrate 5 wearable trends that you can start creating right now! Take a peek:





Embellishments
Touches of jewels, metallic coated denim, studded leather, and Far Eastern-inspired tunics will celebrate this hot trend. Think of your embellished piece as your clothes and jewelry all in one. No need to add another accessory.

Garden Party
A true American classic style theme. Think soft colors. Floral patterns that read modern--no old fashioned. And sweet shapes that bring out the girl in any woman. With parties for Dads to Grads around the corner, this trend will be a go-to for sure.

1940's Hollywood Glamour
Take your cues from strong screen sirens that wore the pants--literally, and did it with femininity. Back seam stockings, peep-toe pumps, and chunky clutch bags can make any workplace feel like a runway.

Spring 2008 Colors
Candy colors from taffy pink and lemon yellow, to grass green and candy apple red--think hues that offer sweetness. They look more grown up when paired with black or white. This trend is an instant wake-up call after months of neutrals and wools. It is OK to have your dessert FIRST this season.

Color Block
Mondrian-inspired prints, patchwork bags in contrasting hues, and bright tights worn beneath muted dresses. Pair the unexpected, and enjoy the power of mixing colors that onlookers would never expect. This is an ageless trend that first popped up in the Mod 60's, making a triumphant return--right now!
