Sure, winter-friendly flowery patterns had their day back in the chilly season, but if you ask me, the term "winter floral" is kind of a fashion oxymoron in many cases. But don't fret, flower children, it's officially time to embrace floral print in the season it is destined to thrive! If you're a skeptic who thinks floral is either too "grandma" or too "tablecloth" to suit your edgy style, you may find yourself mistaken -- sexier details like cut-outs, off-the-shoulder sleeves, and sky-high wedges make the print too chic to save for the bingo table. If you're a Libra, you may be fated to don a flirty floral dress on your next perfect-spring-day outing (lucky you), and Capricorns are destined to rock this pocketed tiered skirt (what a bargain, too!). Curious to see how the stars want you to spread the flower power this week? Check out your stylescope in the slideshow!
Recession Chic: Be Sunny-Stylish For Less With Sunglasses Under $30!

The truth is, for the most part all sunglasses are created equal. Save for maybe the occasional diamond-studded or leather-trimmed pair, oftentimes it's hard to tell the difference between a $5 pair and a $300 pair -- same materials, same shape, same design -- some just happen to have the designer stamp of approval and the accompanying triple-digit price tag. And while it's certainly nice to have at least one pair of expensive sunglasses in your arsenal of shades, there are just too many resurgent retro-inspired trends worth trying on -- cat-eye, circular, etc -- to justify spending that much on a whole collection of season-approved shades. Luckily for us recessionistas, there are plenty of trendy pairs of sunglasses on the shelves for less than $30, and unless you're looking closely for an obnoxious Tory Burch monogram or a cursive Ray Ban signature on the lens, no one will be able to tell they're not designer! Check the slideshow for 10 pairs of shades to keep the sun at bay in style (and for less)!
