Wrap These Scarves Around A Cozy Spring!

Just because warmer days are approaching us doesn't mean that the scarf is on vacation! Actually scarves are becoming increasingly popular for spring and summer.

Think your outfit is looking boring? Add a little zip with a colored or patterned scarf.
There are plenty of light and crisp scarves to choose from and here is my list of favorite picks!

This first scarf is single colored and comes in vivid shades of yellow, green and blue. The sheer crinkled texture is ideal for warmer climates. It's long and could be wrapped in countless varieties...use your imagination! Available at Ann Taylor loft for $29!



Want a printed scarf? Try this one from Old Navy. It's available in several bright and geometric patterns. I am partial to this one in brown and pink. Only $9.50!!!


Looking for a more natural toned scarf? Check this find from Delia's for $12.50!



And for my final pick a more traditional scarf which you can try out all your scarf tying techniques. This one is an airy cotton/silk blend and the poppy design is perfect for spring.

Those are my affordable and adorable scarf picks of the day. So experiment and have fun with them. They are a great way to turn a lackluster outfit stylish!

Ruffle Some Feathers!

From the adorably sweet to the insanely dramatic, ruffles are getting a lot of attention these days! They are being seen on all articles of clothing and accessories (I hope they don't return on men's tuxedos!!!) and offer a touch of femininity to your ensemble.

I say start with a solid colored, moderately ruffled shirt to add to your closet. Crazy patterned ruffle shirts will definitely out date themselves quicker than a sleek single colored one.

Here are some of my top picks:

First on my list of incredible deals is this crisp blouse. It's tailored frame and ribbon accent give it just the right amount of elegance that you could easily where this from work to dinner. And hey treat yourself to a good restaurant because the price for this is only $24.80 brought to you by Forever21.





This next top fits in two fashion trend categories: brights and ruffles! This is absolutely my favorite pick for today. The flashy hue of green is perfect color for spring and the belted detail cinches nicely at the waist. At $24.50 from Wet Seal you can't afford not to have it!





Now for something all together sweet. I love this shirt because it includes both the delicate ruffles with the soft bubble sleeves! So chic and only $38 from Macy's!






And finally a dark purple silk top with light dot impressions. I imagine this top with wide legged black trousers and sparkling accessories...like perhaps some chandelier earrings. This one is slightly more expensive at $58.00 and available at Urban Outfitters.




There they are, my top picks of the day! So don't be afraid to ruffle some feathers, would ya?!

My Favorite Thing About Spring '08 Fashion Is...

COLOR! And I'm not talking about muted pastels that seem to only look good on egg shells. This spring is all about bright, vibrant, shocking colors!

Why not add some royal blue, canary yellow or fiery red to your spring attire? It's a delightful change and very simple to incorporate into your spring wardrobe.
Scared to take the plunge into the colorful world? Start small....like perhaps some eye-catching shoes.

I love these fabulously shiny shoes from Newport News! They will make a plain old outfit pop! They come in a variety of colors and the best part is that they are only $25




Give the typical bland jacket a twist and buy one in a canary yellow. Like this one from Target. Only $24.99! An inexpensive item with tons of potential! Pair it with you favorite jeans for a cute spring look.




How about a crisp cobalt tunic that you can easily dress up or down with some added accessories.
This on is from Forever21 and only $19.80!






A colorful clutch is the perfect way to kick up your simple black dress a notch or two. Try this vivid red clutch from Target. It's only $22.99 and you are bound to find countless uses for it.


Dresses featuring spring blooms in bold colors are what you will be seeing as the "it" dress of the season. Though I am trying to provide you with incredible deals I still have to include this magnificent dress. Though the price is not too unsightly it is still more on the expensive side. Made by BCBG and available at Bloomingdals. Price tag: $158. But worth every cent!





So there it is an overview of my favorite thing about Spring '08 fashion. So give your pastels a break and try on some brights!
