Spring 2011 is going to be all about two shades, lavender and honeysuckle. The former was an overwhelming favorite on the runways in New York and London, and the latter is Pantone's pick for Color of the Year in 2011. What does this mean for you? Well, there's bound to be loads of both shades showing up at makeup counters, and that means finding new and pretty ways to wear the colors. I've gathered up some of the prettiest, freshest uses of lavender and honeysuckle from the runways, and now I'm passing them on to you. So whether you want to look proper, edgy, or sweet, there's a look here for you and a color variation to suit your skin tone.

One of my favorite forces of 2011 Spring New York Fashion Week was Chris Benz. Chris doesn't do reserved. His designs are always eye-catching yet incredibly wearable, and his Spring/Summer 2011 collection was no exception. The collection was vibrant and fun with '60s-inspired florals, neon greens and sharp cerulean blues, elegant draping, towering heels, and ladylike shapes. Come April, I know I'll still be coveting it all. I thought I'd translate some of my favorite looks from the collection into some equally crave-worthy interior spaces. Check them out and tell me which is your fave.

Spring may bring a daring trend: bold, contoured color on the side of the cheeks, eyes, and/or temples. During the past few weeks, we've seen Christian Siriano deck his models out with tawny blush on the temples and sides of the cheeks or eyes in New York, a similar look from Moschino in Milan and a more avant-garde take on the technique from Jean-Pierre Braganza in London, whose models donned a bright pink hue near the outer part of their eyes. When done in flattering tones and a light hand, I could actually see this look taking off. What about you? Is it a trend you'd try, or will you pass on this one?
