The Power of Bold Prints |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This season gets a punch of prints with varying influences; we see African prints, Groovy psychedelica, animal prints, and retro colors. Previously prints were thought of as only for the bold and brave, but these prints with a retro sensibility look sophisticated and stylish for the season. The trick to playing with even the boldest print is to apply it to a shape that flatters your figure. A top or dress with a fantastic cut is going to look fabulous no matter the color or design! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Out of Africa |
||||||||||||||||||
|
A trend that played big on the Spring 2008 runways, and is now making it's way onto celebrities, magazines and soon you is the Out of Africa trend. Think of the beautiful and regal traditional African attire as inspiration for the season's hottest pieces.
The key to getting this look right, and not looking costumey is to be selective with pieces. Choosing the right pattern, that isn't overpowering and that's the right cut. The right cut on a woman is going to look fabulous, no matter the color or print. The simplest way to infuse this trend into your look is with accessories, but go bold this spring and try a fabulous top, it will make those around you go WILD! |

Mellow Yellow |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On the street you might be slowing down to yellow - but the runways and magazines are rushing to get it. Yellow seems to always make a bold return when the weather gets warm. The bright and happy color plays into the freshness of spring, the boldness of vintage nautical styles and a very classic primary color. Yellow is one worth trying - even if it's with an accessory or layering tank. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

National's Girl Next Door |
|
This is a trend that seems to crop up every year around just as the weather starts to turn a little warmer. Maybe when you were a kid it was overalls and a red bandana, pig tail braids and ripped up jeans? The girl next door is a part of the great American mythology - every girl wants to be here (even the city sophisticate longs for that look for a day), and every boy wants to know her.
The look of the girl next door, is healthy and active and her style always looks simple, clean, effortless and a little bit rock and roll. It's about denim that fits perfectly, crisp whites, and barely there tanks. It's the reason why the American woman is legendary |
