Though I don't have a lot of it in my closet (do any of us?), I quite enjoy naranja, aka orange. It's optimistic, energizing, youthful — it is FitSugar's color, after all. Amongst all the white, neutrals, and grays of Spring, orange stood out to me at once. Red is Fall's favorite fiery hue, so it's no surprise its tangy sister has stepped in for Spring. Diane von Furstenberg didn't hold back — Chanel Iman is double layered in orange goodness. In need of a new outlook on life? Nibble on some naranja.

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf
The season premiere of Gossip Girl had Blair Waldorf emoting Upper East Side sass in an ensemble that only a true fashionphile can appreciate. While stalking the NYC streets with the always dapper Chuck Bass, the high school graduate wore a decadent brocade dress with a chunky gold chain bracelet. She added a youthful touch by accessorizing with a funky L.A.M.B. clutch and lace-up spectator booties. What a perfect mixture of sophistication and sass — so Blair, so beautiful.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Brian Reyes
Brian Reyes is a quiet force and I think we just witnessed his best collection yet. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with stylist to Rachel Bilson and Kristen Bell, Nicole Chavez, who I chatted with preshow, but for now, feast. The Spring wears flowed like a Muse song — some soft and feminine, some powerful and dead chic.
The show opened with a white Japanese cotton bodysuit, followed by a delicate harness dress, placket shirt, and car coat in the breezy fabric. These were accompanied by frilly denim and a bold sepia print bodysuit. Brian is known for his unique prints; the skeletal print was a dark surprise. Other eye catchers include the black embroidery — I'm sure Carine Roitfeld, front row, coral nail polish — appreciated this, an adorable aqua shagreen print silk dress (pictured), and the bleeding-heart print. Front row and center was Reyes's number-one celebrity fan, Rachel Bilson, and Becki Newton — double cuteness.
