Spring trend watch - Painted Dress

I am loving the painted dress trend that is growing around us. I first noticed it in bits and pieces during the resort shows. Then, more and more dresses walked down the Spring runways as if they had sprouted from Monet's gardens or walked out of Georgia O'Keeffe's budding flowers.

This fresh take on florals and abstracts really adds a feminine punch to a Spring season filled with grey tones, military moments and sporty silhouettes.

These are sophisticated, fashion forward and lovely. Enjoy!

Chanel / Collette Callaway "On the way to Grandma's there lives a tree I love"



Erdem / Monet "The Artist's Garden at Giverny"

Jackets and Coats and Capes, oh my!

Fall 2010 runways are bringing us a plethora of gorgeous outerwear. Always a part of Fall, outerwear is taking a decidedly front row seat at the shows, sometimes carrying the spotlight of the entire collection. Plaid, leather trim, drop waist, military, colorful: a style for each individual personality.

So, start saving your pennies for one fabulously updated piece of outerwear. Some standouts from New York and London, enjoy!

Floral for Spring

Soft, elegant, ethereal. A few terms that signify one of the highlights of Spring 2010. Runways were a garden of floral prints and embroidery. There were dresses, skirts, blouses, heels, even knickers.

Enjoy!

Chanel
 Collette Dinnigan

Here are some affordable options...



Add a ruffled embellished cardigan for a soft look , like the one below from J. Crew.

Appreciate a little edge? Toughen up with a motorcycle jacket, like this one from ASOS.
