Flower Child

One thing is for certain, florals are going to be huge come spring and summer. This top from American Eagle is a sweet, feminine way to hop on the trend now by pairing it with a blazer and jeans, but will also work great with a skirt or shorts come spring. The best part about it? It's a steal for $29.50 and comes in five different colors. Channeling your inner flower child has never been this easy.

Taupe Tale

A nail polish color that has had everyone talking in the new year are taupe shades that blend in with your skin. It marks a departure from neons and other unconventional colors that have been so popular recently, and I am excited to take this trend for a test drive. One bottle that keeps getting mentioned over and over again is OPI's Over the Taupe, so go take if for a test drive and write a taupe tale of your own.

Eye on You

First of, I have to say thank you to the Olsen twins for continuing their work as style icons and creative geniuses. Their next foray into outfitting the masses comes in the form of a killer eyewear collaboration with Linda Farrow for their line The Row. I am loving these Cat Eye spectacles, which are big and bold, making it that much easier to channel your inner Olsen. Wearing these hot shades will ensure that all eyes will be on you.

Rain Warrior

Ok, someone at Hunter Boots finally wised up and made a takeoff of their incredible collaboration with Jimmy Choo. Hunter is now making the Boa Wellie that is snake embossed rubber for all of the water resistance you love now with some style and a price tag much more reasonable than its inspiration. So pull a pair on to become a chic rain warrior.

Seeing Spots

Leave it to a former accessories designer for Marc by Marc Jacobs to split off and continue making lust-worthy pieces for our enjoyment. The dots are made out of sheet glass and the bags come in a variety of color combinations which are nothing short of a ray of sunshine. The company also makes fantastic belts and jewelry, but there is no doubt that they will leave you seeing spots.

Slouch Style

My obsession with blazers does not seem like it is going to die anytime soon, but I am always looking for new variations to shake things up. Enter Alice + Olivia's Cascade wool blend blazer complete with faux suede collar that is the perfect mix of put together and downtown chic. So give this slouchy style a try next time you are out on the town for a hip, clean look.

In-Vested

While browsing the city this past weekend I stumbled upon this zip front ruffled vest and fell in love. Imagine my surprise when I discovered none other than Theory made the chic little number. I thought this piece was a bit of a departure for the brand, but regardless it has all of the high quality fabric and construction that I have come to love from Theory. So don't be afraid to get invested in this piece, it will transition perfectly into spring and beyond.

American Polish

Leave it to our favorite spot for finding basic tees and just about everything else to bring us another item we can't live without, nail polish. Produced in the good old USA, the fine people at American Apparel have made an 18 color collection that will go with every mood. The polishes apply nicely and there is no better way to kick off the new year than with a new nail color.

Fade to Grey

Typically, I have a tendency to stick with straight up super skinny blue jeans. That all may change with J Brand's ombre fade pencil leg in Stellar Twill. These pants have been sported on the street by Rachel Bilson and needless to say they are an eye-catching pant. So perhaps it is time to veer from the traditional blue jean and fade to grey.

Make a Wish

As we enter into 2010 there are so many things to hope for, and I love to keep that optimism with me wherever I go. That is why I love these Dogeared 100 Good Wishes bracelets complete with 100 beads to represent the things you will need most in the new year, from compassion and luck, to hope and integrity. The bracelets come in a variety of colors with either bronze or silver beads, so tie one on and make a wish for 2010.

Collaboration Nation: Rodarte x Target

Though this may not be new news to you, before the new year began one of the most talked about collaborations of 2009 was released, Rodarte for Target. The collection has been incredibly popular, and people rushed to pick up the slip like items and rib cage dress. I was lucky enough to snag the lace leopard dress above and rocked it for new year's eve! Most pieces have sold out online, but you may be lucky enough to pick up an item from the collection at your local Target before it leaves stores on January 31.

Just Dotty


With a new year comes new year's resolutions and one for some of you may be updating your undergarments. I love that Phillip Lim has brought the uplifting polka dots from his spring frocks into the boudoir for a lovely set of silk underwear. Check them out, you may just go dotty.
