This season's freshest crop boasts a wide variety of shapes and colors: a reddish coral straw floppy hat from Urban Outfitters, femme bow cloche from Topshop, crisp and streamlined fedora from Lacoste . . . and more of our favorites in the slideshow. Feeling shady never looked so good.

I'm not one to turn down a cocktail party in any respect, but when it comes to outdoor fêtes in gorgeous Spring weather, I'm usually the first one on the RSVP list. For such events, it's always advised to break out your other LBD — little bright dress, that is — and hit the scene in style. Now is the time to play with vivid hues, girly, gauzy fabrics, and shorter hemlines. Click through to see the 10 frocks that are guaranteed to garner endless party praise — and possibly a few free drinks.

Valentine's Day is around the corner — and just because you're not in a relationship, doesn't mean you're flying solo. You're planning a night of dinner and drinks with your fellow single señoritas — and as a testament to your single-and-fabulous self, I've put together a few stylish looks that will have you feeling fancy, feminine, and best of all, free. Now go forth and be fabulous.

From runway to street style, there is no questioning the popularity and dramatic allure of the maxi skirt. Stylish celebs like Kate Bosworth, Olivia Palermo, and supermodel Hilary Rhoda have shown us just how chic it can be, for day or night. The challenge is wearing it without looking overdressed or worse, like a grandma (note: we love our grandmas). The maxi is surprisingly versatile, and with the right styling pieces, you can wear it anywhere from the office to a weekend brunch to a chic party. We take three skirts and a closet full of basics to create six fabulous looks. Take note, and go long!
