Spring has officially sprung and here is the partlySunny list of must haves for 2008:
1. Jewel Tones - It’s all about color and jewel tones are the primary palette as pictured here in the Lanvin Collection during Paris Fashion Week: Rich hues of magenta, kelly green, canary yellow, hot fuchsia, and cobalt blue.
2. The Safari Jacket - I found an inexpensive one on the Forever 21 website. Pair it up with denim shorts and a skinny waist belt.
3. The Wide Leg Pant - Start moving away from the skinny legs and get into a pair of Seven Gingers in the Los Angeles dark rinse.
4. The Full Skirt - Drop the mini from last year and flirt around in a high waisted full skirt. Club Monaco has a great range in prints and solids.
5. Ruffle and Rosette Details - I wrote about this in a previous article, stating that ruffle and rosette details are a trend to watch this Spring 2008. I love the rosette detail on the DKNY nappa leather clutch and it’s on sale!
6. Gladiator Sandals - One word, Blowfish. Two words, Joneve Shoes. For more information, check out my past article on the Gladiator Sandal trend!
7. Snake - I’ve always loved the look of snake print, it’s luxurious! Try these snake bangles by Unearth.
8. Florals - Anything floral printed is a must. Dresses, skirts, canvas sneakers and handbags. I recently saw a darling blue floral dress in the Gap window.
