Wrap dresses from the new Diane Collection:

Yes, Diane von Furstenberg has just lunched a new vintage inspired collection made up of her much loved jersey wrap dresses and other contemporary designs created with reissued vintage prints from her 1970s designs. There are eighty pieces in all in the collection. You can see the DIANE Collection here.

If you haven't worn a DVF wrap dress this may be the time to give one a try-they are comfortable, easy to wear-looking fresh at the end of a long day, and these dresses travel extremely well if you're packing pieces in a suitcase. I love the bold graphic prints of this new collection-these prints are so on trend right now.

Women's Designer Crossbody Handbags Kate Spade Essex Small Scout Cross Body Bag 2011

Get a pop of color...

with this Kate Spade crossbody bag!

I ran across the top image from fashion week and just had to share it with those of you who are looking for ways to add a pop of color to your wardrobe-particularly orange which is so hot right now with the color trend for lots of orange continuing through fall 2011.

This little bag-measuring 4.7"high x 7"wide x 2"deep is the Kate Spade Essex Small Scout. It's made of smooth cowhide and has a flap closure and magnetic snap. This is a cross-body bag and it has a long adjustable strap with a fabulous 19"- 21" drop length.

This bag is perfect for hands-free shopping and will hold the essentials-a lipstick, credit cards and a cell phone! I love this bright citrus orange color-it also comes in a luscious hot pink, a bright lemony yellow called citronella, and a natural brown leather color.

Cosmetics Makeup Eye Brightener-Healthy Beauty Award-Best Highlighter Winner

Cosmetic discovery for this week...

this Smashbox Photo Op Under-Eye Brightener!

I've been looking for an under-eye highlighter/brightener to use everyday and I think I've found it in this Smashbox product. I just discovered this brightener online this week so I haven't tried it yet-I have however done some research and discovered that this product was the winner of Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Award for Best Highlighter. I've also found a fantastic video review by moodeve which I've posted here.

This is the Smashbox Photo Op Under-Eye Brightener. This was created as an under-eye brightener-it contains vitamin E, red wine extract, peptides and marine collagen, to hide and repair fine lines and wrinkles. While this was created for the under-eye area it can be used on other parts of the face. You can find this at Nordstrom, Sephora, and online.

Women's Fashion Trends Dresses New Short Boxy Mini Dress Spring Summer 2011

The new mini dress...

has a boxy geometric look!

Women's Fashion Trends Dresses New Short Boxy Mini Dress Runway Spring Summer 2011 Pictures

Yes, the mini dress for 2011 has a new loose geometric-almost boxy look! Except for a slight flare this mini dress is also almost a short shift! This dress has a crisp, fresh, casual chic look if you ask me! The looks pictured here are from the Spring 2011 runway. These dresses are by Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, Derek Lam, and Michael Kors.

If you find this new mini dress appealing wear it with simple accessories--a few stacked bangles and a simple bag. The perfect shape for a casual day dress- wear it with strappy sandals-either flats or heels will work.

Women's Handbag Trends Leather Envelope Clutch Bags Pictures London Fashion Week 2011

What's hot for 2011...

envelope style clutch bags!

Envelope flap clutch bags are hot as we can see in these street style photos taken at Fashion Week. This bag is large so it will hold quite a bit and it has an oblong flat shape which makes it perfect to tuck under the arm for a chic look! This bag will go with almost any look, but it's an especially good choice to carry for business wear or with a menswear look when you want a more classic, understated bag.

Fashion Trends Women's Tights Wearing Leopard Print Tights Spring 2011

A hot look...

with edgy leopard print tights!

Here's a hot look with leopard print tights! Love putting together a look like this-it's one of those looks you don't have to think about to pull together!

I love leopard print tights like those pictured to go with a basic black look- a black skirt or shorts and a little black ankle boot. Print tights are perfect spring wear as we begin to shed our coats-tights are so cool with a blazer and skirt! As it gets warmer yet, lightweight footless tights or knee-high socks can work.

Buying subdued prints is key to making print tights work. I love a tight with a hint of a pattern-not something too loud or bright.

Hope you enjoyed this post about tight trends!

Women's Shoes Hasbeens New Loafer Wooden Fashion 444 Clogs Spring 2011

Today I'm loving...

these new Hasbeens preppy loafer clogs-
in colors for spring!

Women's Shoes Hasbeens New Preppy Leather Loafer Wooden Fashion 444 Clogs Spring 2011

Isn't this the coolest looking clog yet! Love, love, love this new preppy loafer style! This is the Swedish Hasbeens 444 clog, a heeled style-they are 3.5 inches high and they have a wooden sole, so they don't flex as leather or rubber soled shoes! Like all Hasbeens clogs these are handmade in Sweden of high quality leather.

I love the look of this new loafer worn with little ankle socks and jeans as pictured-these would also be fabulous with socks or tights and a short shirt. As the weather warms a bare leg look would also work. These come in four colors-I love all four!

You can see this Hasbeens loafer style clog at Endless.com Shoes!

Women's Rain Boots Calvin Klein Rubber Over-the-Knee Boots

April showers...

bring out the rubber rain boots!

I'm just loving the chic styles of rain boots I'm seeing lately-and aren't these hot looking boots! I love the fuchsia color, the glossy finish, and the over-the-knee height of these. This is the Calvin Klein Ava rain boot. It is a tall boot with a 19 3/4" shaft and a one inch heel. These have a fabric lining to help slip them on and three adjustable buckles. Wouldn't these be perfect with black tights or black skinny jeans-and a matching umbrella! These come in five more colors including black. Love these!
