I have to say, ever since the asymmetrical trend once again reemerged last year, I keep thinking that it's only a matter of time before fashionistas change their minds and send it back to the reject pile of failed re-tried fads. But so far the whole one-shoulder look has only seemed to grow in popularity with the passing seasons... and now to keep things fresh, the trend is getting fancified with ruffles. Yup, one-shoulder ruffles. Sounds like a weird combination, but I gotta admit, the result is totally hot for spring and summer! After all, let's face it --as much as I was a skeptic, it's pretty genius because it combines three of the hottest trends: ruffles, asymmetry, and exaggerated shoulders. Put a trendy spin on your basic LBD with this silk version by Susana Monaco, or keep things fun and flirty for day with a one-shoulder ruffled romper! If you're game to try out this trend-on-trend-on-trend combo look, check out the slideshow for my favorite one-shoulder ruffled pieces!

Just because spring has sprung, it doesn't mean you have to swap your scarves for sunglasses and throw all your favorite past-season accessories to the wayside. Stylehive's Stylescopes are here to say you're destined to stay wrapped up in style, as long as you go the lightweight route and pay close attention to spring-appropriate patterns, colors, and fabrics! While scarves normally conjure up thoughts of snowstorms, stuffy wool blends, and hot cocoa by the fireplace (so not what you're craving in the season ahead!), silk, chiffon, and gauzy versions are still totally in, no matter what the temperature. Tauruses can add some fresh color to their spring basics with this Diane von Furstenberg circle scarf, and Aries ladies will get to hang up their sequined blazer for the time-being and shine on with glittering neckwear! Curious to see what kind of springtime scarf the stars have in store for your sign? Check out the slideshow!
