With Silhouette sub-categories including Draping, Fluid fabrics, and Full Skirts! Read more below and keep checking back for new arrivals! They're a breath of fresh air!

Nautical/French Riveria It seems 'nautical' is always part of spring collections. This year, the designs are strongly influenced by the french riviera. Influences in the media, such as, 'Coco avant Chanel' have contributed.

Style It! Navy and White Stripes, Black and White Stripes, Red adornments, such as, scarves and belts, Anchors, Boat Wheels, etc. are great embellishments. This style allows you to be casual but doesn't sacrifice etiquette. Suzabelle Striped dress available in March 2010

Sophisticated Classics What more can we say? Sophistication is always in!However, these classically inspired pieces are vamped up with a little more sex appeal.

Style It! Our philosophy is to mix staple pieces (our Tuxedo Jacket) with a more modern edgy piece (our Olivia Dress) You could say it is a sense of 'ageless' dressing. Anyone can pull this off without revealing their age...young or old. Also, accessories can say a lot! Shop New Arrivals

Resort Glam 2010 shows off a lot of leather, lace, sequins, metallics, fluid fabrics, draping, and ruffles. However, this is very different than the holiday sparkle trend. For Spring, strong shoulders and structured silhouettes take a vacation and are replaced with soft draping and lightweight fabrics. More romantic and less rocker.

Style It! The key to draping and lightweight, loose, flowing looks is to belt it! The belt accentuates your waistline and prevents the look from going 'moo-moo'. The key to pulling off ruffles and pleating, is to keep it simple! Don't over-do the look. See it here

Prim Florals One of our favorite looks this season! Embrace your feminine side with ladylike floral prints and embellishments

Style It! Keep floral from looking 'granny' by mixing it with modern pieces. A floral skirt should be paired with a simple top and edgy statement jewelry. There's nothing like floral prints to get you in the warm weather mood! Check out our floral pieces arriving in February!New Arrivals

Black and White You can't go wrong with black and white. It's timeless, always in style, and looks great on everyone! This season, mix and match your prints and textures just stick to the color palette of black and white.

Style It! Think black and white is boring? Add a pop of color with jewelry, a belt, scarf, or shoes! New Arrivals

And of course, leggings will still remain. This season, pair them with sleeveless jackets or coats. Billowy, rolled-up, lightweight pants as well as skinnies will also remain. Ankle booties are showing up even in warmer months. Statement jewelry and hair accessories are still a must! Keep these tips in mind when updating your Spring/Summer wardrobe! Happy Shopping!
