Colorful Denim: Spring and Summer Do
(May 1st 2012 11:30PM) Colorful denim is one of the spring and summer\'s hottest -- and most vibrant -- trends.

Since the colored denim is what makes the outfit pop, you can keep the ...

Chevron Stripes: A Flattering Alternative to Traditional Horizontals
(Apr 25th 2012 5:10PM) I\'m all for a moderate dose of drama when it comes to style, so it\'s no surprise I\'m all over the spring and summer 2012 chevron stripe trend.

Dusky Eyes for Spring and Summer 2012
(Apr 12th 2012 8:45AM) While smokey eyes have their time and place, this spring and summer 2012 is all about toned down makeup that leans more natural than overtly dramatic.

Skirt World: Finding The Perfect Skirt
(Apr 11th 2012 3:30AM) I have to admit, I\'m somewhat apprehensive about wearing skirts. It\'s not that I have an aversion to feminine apparel. On the contrary -- I\'m probably the girliest girl you could ever meet. However, I\'m mostly a long shirt or dress kind of gal, not a skirt-donning lady. Why? Well, I find that skirts are somewhat ...

Spring Tweeds You Need
(Apr 9th 2012 1:15PM) What sets spring\'s tweeds apart from those that appear with such reliability each fall? This year, at least, it\'s the beautiful colors - light, airy shades that color each piece with ladylike elegance.

Casual Anoraks for Spring
(Apr 6th 2012 1:10PM) The Spring 2012 runway saw plenty of breezy anoraks. Anoraks are perfect for spring weather since they can be light and airy, keeping you cool but not too hot. Usually, they come with a hood, saving you from any non-forecasted rainstorms. Anoraks look super chic when paired with short shorts, bathing suits and ...

Vintage-Inspired Floral Print Accessories Under $20
(Mar 31st 2012 11:19PM) Perhaps it\'s my affinity for all things ultra feminine, but I\'m seriously digging the floral trend this year. In particular, the soft, muted florals reminiscent of the 40s and 50s. I especially love these prints (both large and small) paired with neutrals, lace and leggings. Today I\'m highlighting ...
