Trending: Floral Denim

In addition to the bright jean trend is the feminine yet sexy floral printed denim/bottoms trend. From soft hues on a white background to traditional denim washes for major contrast and impact; floral jeans make a chic statement. Combined with a solid bright top or crisp white, these jeans are fresh summer look. Several premium denim designers offer their take in skinny, cropped and also shorts. How would you rock them?

Trending: Pretty Pleats

I'm a huge fan of feminine looks. This season's pretty pleats paired with tangerines, corals and soft pastels,  scream girly and chic.

I love this studded pleated dress from the House of Dereon's spring 2012 collection. A mix of edge and softness. View the Spring 2012 collection here

Must Haves: A White Blazer

Generally speaking a structured blazer is a wardrobe essential. However the crispness of a white blazer adds instant chic to variety of spring and summer looks. This season's versions include trending design elements like peplums and zippers to name a few. The look can be worn dressed up or casual and provides a chic contrast to this season's brights.

Trending: Fairy Tale Dreams, Spring Shoes

I have this plaque in my closet:


This season's shoe offerings are worth asking your fairy Godmother or father for!


Jimmy Choo Siskin from the Nude and Black Collection $895. Classic Mary Jane style in popular nude with a twist.


Manolo Blanik Butterfly printed pump $655. Remember Carrie's favorite? A pump is always a sexy go to choice. This one works great with the spring pastel trend. Perfect accent to solids.



Stuart Weitzman Capsize in Salad $375. Affordably priced; can be worn for work and play. It comes in three colors, but the salad aniline is my favorite. On trend in a mint color popular this season. I love the stacked heel, comfortable for walking!




Giuseppe Zanotti Suede Colorblocked Platform $1150. Honestly I could have posted the entire Zanotti collection, amazing design!(maybe later). I love the vivid color and height of this shoe. Nicki Minaj also looks great in a striped Nanette Lepore spring 2012 dress.




Christian Louboutin Summerissima crisscross platform sandal $995. The lovely Lala Anthony shows us how to dress them up and down. In a Givenchy dress, and strolling NYC in Joseph Staten Tapered Silk Georgette pants with a layered leopard print blouse.
