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.

Wonder Stripe

To continue with my love of nautical stripes that surely is not going to ebb any time soon, comes Acne's take on the trend. As is typical of the super hip Swedish brand, they use a relaxed silhouette and altering the direction of the stripes gives it a chic, vintage vibe. This striped number definitely is a wonder.

Blue Bell

I've said it once and I'll say it again, one great waist belt can transform an entire closet of dresses into something new and fresh. Enter Derek Lam's Studded Leather Belt in a blue that is just the jolt of color that winter neutrals need to liven up. Get ready to be the bell of the ball, with this blue belt.

The Jegging

In one of the smartest moves this holiday season, J. Crew has begun offering a few select pieces from their sister store, Madewell, online. Though I have been hesitant to embrace jegging trend, the traditional 5 pocket styling of this Madewell pair may be enough to call me a convert.

Collaboration Nation: Vera Wang

Though the collaboration between Vera Wang and Kohls is not new, it seems the line has had new life breathed into it for the holidays. The one strong point has actually been the sleepwear, which has comfortable and stylish nighties every season. This cream top has lovely contrast beading at the neckline and a feminine ruffle at the bottom that is dare I say it, Simply Vera.

Disco Ball

With New Year's fast approaching, I have already started thinking about what to wear when the ball drops and we move into 2010. When I saw this Alice + Olivia sequined bustier top it just screamed wear me to a fabulous party. The sequins on the top snake around making it look almost mosaic. Why have everyone focused on the clock striking 12 when this top is your very own disco ball. Shine on!

Stolen Wallet

One of our favorite's, Proenza Schouler, recently launched an online store with exclusive pieces that can only be purchased via the internet. Though the offerings are limited, the most notable is this amazing leather wallet that is already sold out in many of the colors. The best part is that it's only $165, which is a steal to own a piece of Proenza.

Secret Garden

Shoshanna's floral romper just screams vacation wear. As winter settles in, it becomes time to think about winter getaways and resort wardrobes. The romper is simple and lively with a great floral print, and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit after a day of lounging in the sun. This little garden number is just too cute to keep a secret.

Going Grey

If trying to get your hands on an Alexander Wang Rocco duffel is proving to be impossible, why not try one of his other drool worth pieces. The Diego Bucket bag is another alternative to get your studded bottom fix, but I may opt for Wang's Betty Flap bag in grey. The strap has some rivets and the sides have double zippers to expand your storage space. For once its ok to say, "I am going grey."

Just Peachy

Starting today, Paul and Joe's exclusive collaboration with the Outnet is available for purchase. I love the coral color of this winter coat, and the gold buttons and silhouette add a military inspired vibe. Since most of my winter coats tend to be darker colors this jacket would be a nice departure from drab neutrals. Be sure to check out this and the rest of the Paul and Joe for the Outnet collection because all of the pieces are just peachy.

Yikes Stripes!

Nautical themed stripes are going to be a hot trend this spring and summer. I like Cynthia Rowley's take on nautical from her resort collection, which does black and blue as opposed to the traditional white and navy. The dots on this cashmere sweater also add some whimsy, and I love the combination of a small stripe and the larger stripe in the skirt. This is one outfit that will have you saying, "Yikes Stripes!"

I always find myself throwing credit cards and cash into my clutches for lack of anything better to hold it all together. Enter Part 2 of our obsession with Funfetti colored glitter: J. Crew's magic wallet, which can keep together all of our cash items and still fit into our clutch. This little bit of rainbow glitter is so lively and with a great price tag will be perfect for the chic girls on your holiday list.
