French Chic

Maybe it's all the trips to Paris? Style icon in the making, Beyonce, has been spotted all over rocking a new accessory. No, not her wedding ring, a beret? I love the look! It can be casual cool or dress it up for chic evening look.

The Hat Heard Round the World...

One of our fave fashion icons, Sarah Jessica Parker, was seeing green at the London premiere of Sex and the City. In true British form, SJP topped off her Alexander McQueen frock with a hat... but not just any hat. Her topper had tongues wagging across the pond and beyond. It was a special creation by designer Phillip Treacy . She only saw the hat TWO HOURS before the premiere and being the fearless fashionista that she is, she wore it and worked it! Maybe, she's just taking "going green" to another level?

Pout it out!

I think it’s pretty proven that colors influence our mood. So if you’re feeling daring, no need to say a word, just let your lips do the talking! In case you missed the memo, the 80’s have made a comeback and pink pouty lips are the “it” thing for spring! You know the kind you couldn’t get enough of in the 80’s. It’s back… in a big way! Go bold and try this trend. One word of advice: have fun with the shade but try to stay away from the Pepto-Bismol pink. A good place to start your perfect pink color search would be MAC. The makeup giant has teamed up with designing duo, Heatherette for a collection of colors that will leave you speechless! Who better than the dynamic twosome to create your perfect eighties pout? Try their Hollywood Nights shade to get you going. I wouldn’t pair the look with anything too extreme. Translation: leave the neon at home. Let’s just go with one 80’s throwback at a time. Thankfully the trends from that decade have been limited to the good stuff. There were plenty of the bad to leave behind, I mean, shoulder pads anyone? Bad eighties flashback aside… Go all out! Consider finding your perfect pink pout a challenge!

Get Busy

For any fashionista, spring is an exciting time. It’s time to shed the winter blues and heavy coats for flowing fabrics and open toe shoes! This spring is no exception and there is no shortage of trends to covet! Get ready to pile it on! We all know that accessories can make or break any outfit. For the spring and summer months everything is going big… from bags to bangles and everything in between. This season, that area between your head and your shoulders is getting some extra attention. Some of our favorite glamazons have been seen on the red carpet with a little extra going on around the neck area. It seems the more you pile on the better! Necklaces are getting busier, longer and larger. It’s a trend that’s pretty easy to pull off as long as you remember some rules. If your top or dress already has embellishments, leave the layered necklaces at home. This look works best with a simple top or dress. It’s going to demand attention. No need to add extras and make it look too busy. There’s another trend getting some spotlight time – cuffs. From metal to stacked, it’s a look easy to love and bring out your inner warrior. Just make sure it’s more Fierce Fashionista and less Xena Princess Warrior.

Be there or be SQUARE

I’ve been waiting around for this one to make a comeback! It’s the return of the square toe pump. Fashion forward glamazons like SJP and Gweneth Paltrow have been ushering in the comeback of these foot faves. The reign of the pointy toe isn’t over but now there’s a more, ahem, comfortable alternative. With the square toe there’s no worry about toes being squished together like with a pointy toe shoe! You still get the effect of a stiletto leg lift but your feet don’t hate you for it. It's what I like to call sexy comfort!

May Flowers

Floral prints are definitely a trend getting a little love this spring. From Balenciaga to Pinko it's blooming in collections everywhere. Here's one reason - this isn’t your grandmas floral! You know the kind that reminded you of the sofa? No, the pretty patterns are softer this season. Many even have a little structure making florals a top pick for any occasion, even a stroll down the red carpet. Take advantage of the trend in flowy blouses and dresses! Don’t be afraid to try out some of the more structured styles. too.

Who Rocked It?

I would have never guessed the designer of this dress. Turns out Jessica Simpson and Kelly Osbourne are both rocking a Dolce & Gabbana frock! The dress has such a southwestern feel it's perfect for Jessica's turn as a country star. It looks completely different on Kelly, in a good way. Somehow, it seems sleek. Both ladies worked it out in their own way but, who rocked it?
