Here's my new motto: Go bold or go home. Yes, dark clothing is cool, but Spring is a time of rebirth, so why not embrace the brighter side of life in bold and beautiful dresses? There's so many out there just waiting to be paraded around.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a good model for this notion because she doesn't turn her back on brights. At a recent event in Sydney, she was a vision in a pink Roberto Cavalli sweetheart dress. See, not only will you look good, you'll feel good too.

I oft find it difficult to shop at Anthropologie because their merchandise is a bit overpriced for not being designer. But their sale section is a different story. It currently stocks lots of footwear and bags. I particularly fancy these Blushing Flats ($80, originally $168). If you're into quirky footwear, shop on by.

We all have our classic khaki trench correct? It's time to spice things up in many clothing categories but the trench looks quite delectable in a bevy of colors. Colored trenches are alluring because they have a classic cut but unexpected color. It's the ideal way to achieve a classically modern look. There I go contradicting myself again . . .

tshellyedwards is all smiles in this photo taken during a recent vacation — lucky her! She's looking super cute for a casual dinner out with her hubby. The fun safari top and casual denim skirt keep her temperature cool and look lovely in the Alabama heat.

Here's what she has on:

• Top: Banana Republic
• Skirt: J.Crew
• Necklace: Claire's
• Flip Flops: Old Navy
• Handbag: Benetton
• Sunglasses: Unknown

Congrats to tshellyedwards

Earth Day is on April 22, but Banana Republic is showing support for the global holiday early. Starting April 8, the retailer will house a 50-piece eco-friendly collection for women and men. All merchandise, retailing from $24 to $150, is made of renewable or sustainable fabrics like bamboo and organic cotton. One percent of all in-store sales will go to Trust for Public Lands, a nonprofit national land conservation organization.

This isn't a one-time thing for Banana Republic though; it will be an ongoing concept. Given Banana's stylish track record, I'm sure I'll be investing in some pieces and simultaneously helping out mother nature!
