We just got back from a whirlwind Fashion Week, hugely inspired (with very, very sore feet!) And while we won't be able to buy any of the greatness we saw for a couple of months, we thought we'd give you a sneak peak of the trends to look out for for Spring!
Neon Pastels! Neon is hot as ever, but this spring there's a twist. Instead of the classic bright pinks, oranges and yellow, designers are showing an extended neon palette. Designers like Yigal Azrouel incorporated bright lavenders, peaches and baby blues as vibrant accents. Florals - Sweet little flowers and bold orchid prints were all over the place and done exceptionally well by Vivienne Tam. When combined with the neon pastels above, they are a major win.Bold Prints - Prints were everywhere, again, this season - from wild animal to bold Aztek - designers like Michael Kors and Alexander Wang made major statements!Drop Wasted Dresses - Absolutely loving this innovative new dress form - shown brilliantly by Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen and Jill Stuart.
Cure Your Disco Fever With Metal Mesh Jewelry!

As you've probably noticed, metal mesh (sometimes referred to as chainmail) can come across as tacky when adorning shoes or bags (you know, anything that's not really meant to be made of metal, save for the few fashionable exceptions, like this Jill Stuart pouchette for example). However, the result is appropriately disco-chic, with just a dash of edginess, when used for jewelry! Go for a fancified take on Taylor Swift's classic silver mesh earrings with these pearl-adorned ones from CoutureCandy, or glam up pretty much any basic tank or dress with this bandanna-inspired necklace from Jill Stuart. Or if you like just a quick flash of shine, Free People's chainmail cuff adds some gold shimmer without blinging out your whole look.
