The saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and we're totally smitten with the two beautiful besties, seen above, snapped during Paris Fashion Week.

The saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and we're totally smitten with the two beautiful besties, seen above, snapped during Paris Fashion Week. Both looks are cute in their own way — one strikes a more '70s bohemian stance, while the other opted for a casual mix of dots and denim. Emulate one or both looks with our picks from Jerome Dreyfuss, Helmut Lang, Twenty8Twelve, and J.Crew.

Look We Love – Moody Print Dresses

Seasonal disaffective disorder hasn't set in just yet, but why not stave it off a little longer?

Seasonal disaffective disorder hasn't set in just yet, but why not stave it off a little longer? Channel any traces of moodiness into a moody printed dress, which we spotted all over Fashion Week — as seen in the street snap above left. These patterns — varying from smoky swirls to abstract art prints — are dark but far from dreary. Peep our picks from Helmut Lang, BB Dakota, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and BCBGeneration, now.

New York Fashion Week

A Look at Helmut Lang's Debut Handbags — Plus the Rest of the Spring 2011 Lookbook

>> It's Helmut Lang's shearling jacket that is currently sending hearts a-pitter, but what about next Spring?

>> It's Helmut Lang's shearling jacket that is currently sending hearts a-pitter, but what about next Spring? We've got the full Spring 2011 lookbook, complete with a peek at the brand's first handbag collection under designers Nicole and Michael Colovos. The bags — which range in clutches, hobos, and shoulder bags in napa leather and perch skin — are inspired by motorcycle jackets and feature brass buckles remniscent of a shark's tooth and braided fisherman’s handles, both a nod to Michael's previous career as a commercial fisherman.

Trend Alert: Leather Inserts

Our leather fascination grows .

Our leather fascination grows . . . thanks to Nicky's cool sweatshirt-slash-leather-vest jacket. If full-on leather is too much tough for you, how do you feel about leather inserts? Whether as sleeves, trim, pockets, or shoulder details, leather play is in effect. Denim and heather gray sweatshirt material are my favorite contrasts; the casual juxtaposed with the slick. Dresses and party tops also benefit from a slice of leather. Leather here, leather there, leather everywhere!
