Trend Alert: Spring Satin

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:50:11 -0700

Spring satin isn't just for weddings anymore. With the right cut and color, satin shoes can make major impact for both day and night looks. Personally, I go for brighter hues and fun prints, but blacks and tans also look amazing with funky LBDs. I can totally picture Carrie Bradshaw taking an afternoon stroll in these lusty Christian Louboutin Greissimo Pumps ($633) in Sex and the City 2 - swoon.

Trend Alert: Mosaics

By the time you read this, I will have bought Nicky Hilton's Tolani Mosaic Tunic in Pink ($109). It's just so fresh, feminine - so Rio. Clearly, Nicky digs mosaics. The exotic graphic pattern definitely interests the eye, and comes in poppy colors as well as earth tones. Nicky loaded on nomadic jewelry - check out that blingin' turquoise ring - a studded belt, and a snakeskin bag for extra style points. I always say I need more prints in my life, so no buyer's remorse here.

Trend Alert: Leather Minidresses

Before you stash all of your Winter clothing away, make sure to leave out that sexy leather minidress. Take a cue from The Hills star Kristin Cavallari, and wear your slick frock sans tights. Leather dresses aren't cheap, but well worth it considering you can wear them in cold and warm weather. To avoid hot stickiness, I suggest wearing it early Spring/Summer, at night, and with a pair of kickass heels. Again, see Kristin.

Trend Alert: Blue-Hued Arm Candy

Wherever Iman goes, I follow. The model muse attended a Diane von Furstenberg event in a fresh DVF Josun Dress in Miranda Ruffles Green ($473, originally $675). Then, she layered on a black leather jacket and blue-hued arm candy - MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza bangles and a two-tone cocktail ring. Everything stuns, especially the wearer, but bold blue bangles and rings add exotic envy to any arm.

Trend Alert: Posh Piping

The first whiff of warm weather has everyone in a tizzy - even Kate Moss! The Super was spotted in Paris looking colorfully chic in a nautical-inspired ensemble. I love how she ditched her per-usual black separates for a striped top and red jacket complete with posh piping. This slick trimming can be found almost everywhere via skirts, pants, jackets, dresses, shorts, and bags. Like Kate, I prefer my piping up top. The navy trim on her punchy jacket provides the ultimate eye-catching contrast.

Trend Alert: Galactic Jackets

While galactic shimmer is perfect for nighttime glamour, galactic jackets are ideal during the daytime. Girl about town and London-based stylist Caroline Sieber showed off this trend during Paris Fashion Week wearing a cool blue out-of-this-world printed jacket. Such statement jackets don't need a lot of accompaniments; a cute frock or dark skinnies would do. But leave it to Caroline - who's had past stints styling Emma Watson - to mash up her galactic wonder with a printed top. Want to get the same look? Abstract and cool-hued tie-dye patterns will take you one step closer to Pandora . . .

Trend Alert: Rad Ribbons

Madewell designer Alexa Chung took a break from NYC to check out Paris Fashion Week. At the Chanel show, she layered a furry tweed coat over a white blouse - check out those rad ribbons! They add just the right amount of flair to her palette, and take note of the Parisian-meets-bohemian reference. Such an easy way to achieve fashion greatness, no?

Trend Alert: Bonny Blue Satchels

While I'll always have love for my black bags, they just might have to take a back seat come Spring. Look at Kerr: her bonny blue satchel makes such an understated yet bold statement with its chic shape and the breezy hue. I love how she contrasted her blue Balenciaga with a green anorak and maroon shoes. If that's too mismatched for your taste, picture it with crisp whites and light denim.

Trend Alert: Striped Shirt Dresses

Fab's a huge advocate of the ever-so-calculated disheveled chic look. While some scoff at the layers and mismatched pieces, we revel in them. We love how Ally Hilfiger created her own messy masterpiece with a striped shirt dress, trench, tights, and platform pumps. Hone in on her striped frock: not only do the vertical lines add length, they also evoke a posh, preppy feel - even when wrinkled.

Trend Alert: Textural Trenches

Keira, can I sift through your Burberry coat collection please? Here's the Brit stunner in a gray textural trench. And yes, it's Burberry. Not too long ago we showed you 15 crisp trenches to shop, but let's get wrinkled and crinkled. I hate ironing, so I'm a fan. All I need are those clunky black satin Miu Miu shoes and I'm Keira-ed out - not a bad place to be.
