A friend bought this top, and it's way cute. Wear it with...

1. Old Navy bird print charmeuse blouse,

2. J. Crew wool-felt jacket,

3. Madewell By Hudson boots,

4. MIH mid-rise cropped jeans,

It's Marni. And it's on sale (reduced from $900!) at The Outnet which is Net-a-Porter's outlet. The shimmery, elegant jacquard--a major spring trend--makes it even more of a must-have. Wear it with...

Scoped out this matching print and at H&M yesterday (the floral print is of the ilk discussed in today's earlier ) and snatched them both up. I think the two pieces work best together--and are in line with that whole suit-y head-to-toe thing. Done and done.

Rich, floral, Italianate (think Versace, late 90s') motifs were all over the spring 2012 runways. Which means this bold bomber is spot-on. Wear it with...

But so what? It's still cute--and roomy, and canvas, and practical. Wear it with...

So versatile. So easy. So chic. Wear it with...

The black lace is flirty, graphic and so Prada right now. Wear it with...

An inveterately chic sweater that you'll wear for seasons to come. Wear it with...

Designers from to are banking heavily on pastels this spring, churning out collections rife with sea-foam greens and creamy pinks. I am going to take a cue from Tank's Fashion Director Caroline Issa (above) and wear multiple sorbet shades all at once. The head-to-toe look is fantastically fresh and modern, but the key to pulling it off is mixing in edgier, grounding colors like black and red. The new pastel pieces I'm currently eyeing: (I really think this pale pink will be spring's "it" denim color), an easy-to-throw-on, and an endlessly versatile .

And there's no need to wait till spring to go pastel. These soft hues will revive your (getting-older-by-the-minute) winter wardrobe.

Black and white stripes + tassels = Chic beach babe. Wear it with...
