That's right, ladies! It's time to break out your fave tank and throw on your chicest pair of shades! Springtime is among us once again!
This is the greatest season in fashion because the first trends for the new year [of fashion] are finally out on display for all to see. How will you keep up? Don't worry! That's where we come in. ;) Prepared just for you, we have the top five hautest trends for Spring 2013.
5. Black and White

So I know what you may be thinking: "Black and white for spring?!" And my answer to you is YES, BLACK AND WHITE FOR SPRING! Black and white for summer, for fall, and winter!! That's what makes this trend so haute (year-round haute!) Sort of like an "investment piece." An investment piece is what you purchase that can truly be worn over and over, season after season. It's just so classic, and yet so very, very, chic.
How do you wear it? WITH COLOR, OF COURSE! My go-to color for Spring is mint. But my suggestion color to try this spring is definitely emerald. Emerald was featured in the SS13 collections of Tracy Reese, Nanette Lepore and Marimekko. Try a fierce clutch or awesome statement necklace. My personal favorite accessory for the season, however, has to be nail polish. Go for the black and white look with an awesome emerald color on the nails for a modern take on the classic chic.
4. Baring the midriff, and high-waist pants.

This trend is so sexy, and so NOT slutty. The high-waist bottoms are perfect for accentuating the legs, and giving the illusion that you're taller than you really are (this is awesome news for the 5'5" & under
crew, such as myself.) This look can easily work for night or day, such an awesome transition trend. If
you're going out, try a solid color crop-top paired with a high-waist sequenced skirt or pant (for the
girlier type) or go for leather (if you're feeling bad.) Maybe you're going out to lunch with your
fabulous girlfriends, my suggestion would be a graphic or printed top paired with some vintage high-
waist denim. Make it fit you & your personality, it's such an haute trend for any occasion. It's also a
great way to show off your sexy shape. Baring your midriff is like giving yourself a new waistline, the
high-waist pants are just that perfect accent to make you feel and truly look like a super model.

3. Prints

Prints are absolutely ev-er-y-wheeeerrreee this season! Bright, colorful, wild, floral, blocky... you
name it, it's so in. The thing I love the most about this trend is the diversity in it. So many different wonderful prints to choose from, how can you possibly pick one?! My suggestion? Wear more than one
(by more than one, I mean two... three is seriously pushing it.) Mix-match prints is super bold, & it can
give you that high fashion look you crave. Note: just because the prints are different, it does not mean
they will look good together. IT CAN GO HORRIBLY WRONG EXTREMELY FAST IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL! lol! Make sure your colors flow together and the prints compliment one another. Remember! "MIX-MATCH", not "not matching at all." Try some floral leggings or denim with a striped top (my preference is vertically-striped because it will elongate the torso, but if you're confident enough I would definitely choose horizontal, too.) Pick the prints that match you & wear a solid color heel and work, girl.
2. Leather

You're probably sitting there, telling me that leather is nothing new. & you are absolutely right. It's been around forever so that means it will BE around forever. (remember those "investment pieces I was talking about before? *hint hint*) Leather is that classic bad-ass, rock-n-roller, punk way of being absolutely fabulous. Plus, it's an instant confidence booster! An easy way to get into this trend is probably just buying a little leather dress to start off. And no, I'm not saying it has to be black leather either! Check out these colorful leathers spotted in fashion week:

See what I mean?! How freakin' haute!!! (SN: this look will actually be fabulous with my pick for the number one trend!) My office suggestion? A sexy chiffon blouse paired with a leather pencil skirt, matched with some very strappy heels. My suggestion for the night out? THAT JASON WU DRESS PAIRED WITH THOSE VERY SAME HEELS. lol, can you guys tell I'm biased in some ways? As always, I say choose what's you!
1. COLOR! (and patterns!)
Of course! What else would the TOP trend for SPRING be?!
The flowers will be blooming soon; you should be, too! Colors and patterns are a great way to show your personality, and to make a bold statement this season. MIX IT UP, GIRLS!! Wear black with brown! Match floral with cheetah! Calm down, calm down! I know it's a scary thought. You're breaking all the rules, right? But, see, that's the great thing about fashion: there are no rules! Take a risk this season, do what makes you feel your best. Nothing is more beautiful on a woman than confidence! My suggestion? Wear it however you want. Try using this trend along with one of the other top trends of the season, and you are sure to be the hautest thing not on a runway.
