The Seven for the Season

Storage time for our favorite winter coats...for we are getting all the signs that the freeze we were once in is finally drawing to a close. The weather is warming, the birds are returning and...was that a swimsuit commercial I just saw on television? Spring is coming through the door.
In order to assist in your preparation, here are the Top Seven (as in days of the week that you will be enjoying these) Trends for spring of 2008:
7. Rollable/Foldable Purses
Let's face it, the small purses we buy are cute and go with outfits but what else can you fit into them other than at times just a lipstick. In the words of Sarah Jessica Parker's infamous character, many of us don't wake up looking the way we do outside our door..we need things. Thankfully, our lovely designers have heard our cries just in time for the spring functions...foldable and rollable clutches and bags.While still having all the room which say the busy fashionistas we are require, lines have used fabulous fabric that still is durable and able to be manipulated without issue. The results have been so amazing....even when there is still that worry that the folds will keep and ruin the product. The Fave for this item: Nine West.
6. The Gloves are off but the Hats are on!
Many of you can recall those old movies where the strong women wore hats that either perfectly matched or companioned their ensembles. Who can ever forget the hats of My Fair Lady or Casablanca? Well, they have returned with a vengance. True, they are not as large, extravegant or eye catching, but they have their moments. So get out there and cover those heads with some fashion!
5. The Glasses!
Small, big, Jackie O, John Lennon and wild...these are just some of the words that are attached to those amazing shades that not only protect our eyes, but sometimes protect the outfit from falling apart. Further, While once upon a time one was good enough...multiple ownership is more likely than anything these days getting to the point of being near the reality of needing multiple pairs of shoes. So get as many as your hands can carry...a tip for this is to find the right shape for your face and get every color in that style. The Fave for this item: Isn't it obvious? The Great Michael Kors.
4. The Shirt Dress
An oldie but a goodie, not only are these returning with a vengance but with more exuberant and outstanding designs. Who knew things such as circles and swirls could look so yummy on you? Not only are the colors amazing but the fabric is always breatheable yet can move with you like butter. The Favorite for this is of course the Great DVF. The woman who has continued to make this dress more and more in is still the leader of this trend...
3. Those heels look more dressed up than you do.
Dangles, gemstones and stitching oh my! The backside of our heels are starting to compete with our total outfits and we are loving every minute of it! Further, more designers seem to putting less in the front and putting it in the back, and it's about time...we girls love to leave with a great note...and the back of these heels is the greatest pitch we could have ever asked for.
2. Transparency.....
Seductive and sexy while still being a bit mysterious, Spring Fashion Week was overwhelmed with transparent clothing that not only left many jaws on the floor but has arrived on our Need it in your closet list..Because although you always want to have the people you leave (especially of the opposite gender) wanting more, you always want to show a bit too.
Bright colors
Orange, yellow and even blue are coming so bright that you may need number 5 just to see them. This just goes to show you the boldness of women that continually comes out, not only in our clothes but also in ourselves....
