Earth tones

Natural color schemes are big this season--like earth tones in outdoorsy-type clothing and boyscout style. This is one way to wear this trend.

Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress

2006-02-21T16:30:00.000-08:00

You can't go wrong with a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. Ever. It is the kind of dress that looks good on any body type since it's a wrap (wear it as loose or tight as you'd like) and the tie is located above the natural waist so if you've got hips like mine, they're kind of hidden. Also, the v-neck flatters all chest sizes, in my opinion! I'd wear this to work, out with friends, to a wedding or on a date. Can we say versatile?
Here's one place to shop for more DVF.

Dolce and Gabbana shoes

2006-02-21T13:25:00.000-08:00

I love the fact that these are so feminine and sexy with the little gold bow and python print but also wearable with its low heel. I'd wear these to work (seriously, couldn't you see these spicing up a pantsuit?) or out with a dress or flirty skirt!

Burberry trench

2006-02-21T12:48:00.000-08:00

This classic style trench from Burberry with a mod twist, big this season, is a fave of mine. Having just bought a Burberry trench at an outlet store for a serious discount, I must tell others the importance of my find! I can wear this trench, in white, with anything and everything. Plus, with the weather we've been having in LA, it's a practical buy as well. Lovely and deliciously fitting for any body shape. I love that it's belted at the waist since we all know how huge belting at the waist is this season.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Silk Floral-Print Dress

2006-02-21T12:19:00.000-08:00

For some reason, I've become obsessed with this dress. I saw it on a girl in her 20's walking on Montana, wearing it with black flip flops, and fell in love... with the dress, of course! I wouldn't have chosen to necessarily wear it with flip flops as it's a silk, sweet-looking dress, but oddly enough, it worked! Maybe it's because we're in California where laid back looks always 'go,' but I liked it. Anyway, so I rushed out to Saks soon after and tried on the dress. It is so pretty and comfortable--I felt as if I were in a flowy nightgown, but obviously it's much more acceptable to wear in public than a nightie. The one downfall? You'll most likely have to 'fashion tape' the top to yourself since the deep V doesn't leave room for wearing a bra and you can fall out of it too easily because of it. Still, the dress is on my top 10 list for this spring...

Carmen Electra - formal shorts

Carmen Electra carries on the trend started by stars wearing Johnson shorts. Now, all sorts of designers are bringing back the shorts look in their spring lines as seen on runways from Chloé to Vivienne Westwood to Louis Vuitton to Prada. Celebs usually dress up shorts with heels and flowy tops. 'Formal shorts'... What an idea!
