Lindsay Lohan was spotted on her way to Samantha Ronson's house wearing a hippie-chic ensemble and a huge smile. Her studded clutch added an edgy feel to her embroidered top and silver ballet flats, while her arm full of bangle bracelets stayed true to her unique style. Shop a similar look now!

Just as stylish as her costars, Hailey (played by actress Sarah Burns) gets in on the action in this still from I Love You, Man. Her multicolored dress is from Nieves Lavi but isn't available online, so shop a similar option from the same designer. Add a pink cardigan from J. Crew for the complete look.

The desire for casual contemporary clothing that transcends the basics will never go away and Sam Nieves Velez and Sharon Lavi have continually refined some of the best aspects of the genre in their line Nieves Lavi. Comfortable and easy to wear yet visually appealing, the line works for the laid back California girl just as well as the New York urbanite. We found it to be one of the few lines that worked both coasts in your editors bi-coastal lifestyle. Known for their prints, their Spring 2009 collection doesn't disappoint.
On Tuesday we visited Coterie's eveningwear selections for fresh runway looks but most of the action was taking place in the contemporary market over on the Piers. Buyers worked themselves into a frenzy over collections from Tracey Reese, Velvet, Geren Ford, Inhabit, Shin Choi, Marc Bouer Glamit, Cynthia Steffe, Twinkle, Betsy Johnson, Harlan Bel, Nieves Lavi, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, Anna Sui, Nanette Lepore, Citizens of Humanity, Seven for All Mankind, Foley and Corinna, Julie Haus, Erotokritos, Nicole Miller, Vera Wang Lavender, Tibi, Shoshanna, Alice and Olivia, Rag and Bone, Diane Von Furstenberg, Earnest Sewn, Adam by Adam Lippes, Diesel, Milly by Michelle Smith, Helmut Lang, Iodice, and Sunner.
Fashion is experiencing a hippie revival and I am not protesting this trend. However, I need your help deciding if I like handkerchief hems or not. I already confidently don wide-legged jeans and denim vests, but I'm not so sure about this nonchalant detail. This Jovovich-Hawk for Target Arabesque Halter Dress ($30) is something Lux would have worn in The Virgin Suicides but is it too '70s nostalgia. Thoughts?
Katharine McPhee stood out at the LA premiere of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry in her psychedelic Nieves Lavi dress. Although the colors clash with the red carpet, she still manages to look fresh. I like that she didn't go matchy matchy with the accessories. The pointy pumps are a bit outdated but her confidence makes it work. Don't forget to check out her henna tattoo on her left foot!
Joss Stone has been looking more than a tad quirky lately, especially since her latest album release for Introducing Joss Stone. Pop even chose her as worst dressed several months ago. That's why I was surprised when I saw her looking so ladylike at the MuchMusic Video Awards. I like that she went back to her roots and wore a paisley-print Nieves Lavi frock. Her tie-up sandals don't really match, so I gave her a more stylish pair!
Skip your morning coffee, or tea, and opt for a fabulous vintage print dress. Yes, you could also scour vintage shops, I know that's what members of The Vintage Place!! are thinking. But that's a shopping mission and if you're not up to the challenge this Spring has lots and lots of offerings.
Same with trapeze style dresses, you can wear these with a heel or no heel; but if you want to wear it for evening I suggest a heel and some jewels as the vintage prints tend to dress down the dress (pun intended). For those bold gals out there who are all about colorful prints, have fun with these picks.
Stay tuned all week long as I'll be showing you some of the cutest dress styles right now; there will be something for everyone so...Dress You Up!.
Diane von Furstenberg Adelaide Dress, $325.

For those of you gals graced with long legs: get psyched! We all know dresses are hot for Spring and this includes long, flowy, effortless dresses. These particular dresses are slimming, comfortable and sexy. For those of you who are a little more petite, all you've got to do is throw on some wedge platforms and you are good to go! Here are a few of my new favorite long dresses for Spring:
Scoop Printed Tube Dress, $345, is 100% silk and has elasticized tube banding on the chest area. It is available in six different rockin' patterns.
This Nieves Lavi Silk Halter Dress, $350, is made from 100% silk as well and I think is simply gorgeous. It is a long navy stunner with a multicolor floral print and halter straps that tie behind the neck. It's flattering to all bust sizes because of the ruching!

Lately I just can't get enough of the truly original print dresses by Nieves Lavi. The label was founded by fashion veterans Sam Nieves Velez and Sharon Lavi, both of whom cut their teeth as senior designers at Herve Bernard and also spent time at Anna Sui and Vera Wang, respectively. The pair's fun and funky print dresses and tops are spun from 100 percent silk and have just a slight retro edge with their classic, chic shapes. My favorite part about the exotic yet modern designs are the unexpected color combinations, which are surprising and wholly satisfying. Here's a look at some of my favorite Nieves Lavi pieces in stores right now.
Nieves Lavi Mod Dress, $374, available here.
Nieves Lavi Paloma Bird Print Camisole, $195, available here.
Nieves Lavi Short Sleeve Tie Dress, $374, available here.
