I don’t know about you guys, but when I see pom poms, I get a huge smile on my face. There’s just something about their jovial texture, their connection to my childhood garb and their playful colors that I just can’t get enough of. Luckily, this season, it’s something designers couldn’t get enough of either and everyone from Dolce & Gabbana to H&M are poppin’ up pom poms!
Here are just a few pieces that I couldn’t resist to share…
This post has been on tap for the past couple of weeks… just waiting for that perfect moment to bare itself. And now that we’ve turned the clocks ahead and it’s officially spring (in my opinion), I wanted to share with you one of my all-time favorite trends.
Remember watching Dirty Dancing? I bet. Remember the dancing, the romantic story line, that jump in the water? The first time I ever saw Dirty Dancing I remember how much I became obsessed with Penny Johnson’s off the shoulder top. I’m serious. It has always been my most favorite look. There’s something so sexy about showing off those shoulders, even if everything else is covered up.
I mean, how amazing is this top?? This trend bared its loveliness a couple of seasons ago, came out to play last summer; but this year, boy is its game strong and I couldn’t be happier!

To get your OTS game on point, here are a few of this season’s cutest looks. From cropped to flowy, dresses to beach cover ups, there is no wrong way to show off those shoulders!
Happy Shopping! Happy Spring!
Spring is right around the corner (I hope), and all the season’s biggest trends will be in full bloom before we know it. Gladiator sandals, floral prints, jeans jackets… but what I’m totally obsessing over this year is the comeback of the almighty flare!!
Take a back seat skinnies, because the flare jeans and pants have risen from the depths of the fashion doldrums and I cannot be more excited! Pair them with a high espadrille for a spring party or with a clog for a more casual look. One of my favorite looks is pairing a denim shirt with a pair of flared jeans… too much denim, you ask? That’s the whole point! For the office or something a bit more fancy, a pair of black flared trousers with a pair of black pointy-toe pumps will look oh-so-chic yet effortlessly put together.
These pants have been slowly trickling into the market so don’t be afraid to relive your flare jean memories all over again… and for now, here are some inspirations from our favorite fashionistas!

Now we just need spring to finally arrive so we can all go rock our flares in a big, big way!
Yesterday I met with my newest client, Lauren Hefez, who funny enough is an amazing fitness instructor in town. She teaches barre and Lean Line (a barre/pilates/dance/stretch fusion workout) at Equinox as well as her class at the studio, Soul Train called Sweat with Lauren Hefez. What I loved about her closet was that exactly half of it was just fitness clothes, hung up with great care, color coordinated and in pristine condition. Out of all the beautiful pieces that she had, my favorite was actually a sports bra that she was wearing. By the end of that day, she had gone to the gym and bought me the exact same one, which got me thinking about a post we wrote last August about sports bras as fashion pieces… and this sports bra is the perfect one to pull this look off…
The one I got has a funky flamingo print on it… This link will bring you to the exact product.
We also really love this one from Splits59~

SPORTS BRAS TAKE ON THE STREETS
My thing with sports bras is very simple. They squish my boobs into a mutant uni-boob. The sports bra… Attractive? Not one bit. Practical? Only for running. Fashionable? Are you serious…?
Until now.
This past season we’ve seen a whole slew of fitness clothing punching out its competitors, and taking center stage in the fashion scene. But nothing is as wildly unusual to come out of hiding, as the sports bra. Try it out as an under-cami for a low cut shirt, or as a cami under a sheer top… give that sports bra of yours a new life…take it out of hiding and onto the streets.
Check out these street style stars and how they gave their sports bras a fashionable new life…

These ain’t yo’ mama’s pearls, that’s for sure….
To ease into my next obsession, the single earring (coming next…stay tuned), I had to share with you guys these earrings that I’ve been coveting all summer. The Dior Mise en Dior Tribal Earrings were part of the 2013 pre-fall costume jewelry collection designed by Dior’s accessory designer, Camille Miceli. With the growing popularity of the side-swept hair and the single earring trend, these sweet little boules have definitely rolled themselves into every fashionistas accessory drawer.
I love them because they’re sweet, yet edgy, classic, yet superbly modern, and trendy without being too exclusive.
Here they are in all of their pearly glory….
Stay tuned for my next obsession, the single earring phenomenon that’s hitting the mean streets of Trend City.
