Electric Blue

Cobalt blue, one of my favourite hues,
 was all over the SS 2010 runways.
Its lovely paired with black and white,
but why not try an accessory in a
splashy hue like chartreuse.

All Ruffled Up

Fun, flirty ruffles were seen all over the Spring 2010 runways and there are lots of reasonably priced options that allow you to sport the trend without breaking the bank.

In Bloom

Flowers and floral patterns were all over the Spring 2010 runways - big, small, monochromatic, bright, pastel, abstract, appliqués...there was no end to the way flowers will show up on clothes for the coming season.

Some of the "new" florals really remind me of the babydolls and bodysuits we had in the early 90s, which makes me wary, but thankfully there are enough gorgeous patterns out there that feel new to me so I'll be able to embrace this happy, feminine trend.

So what do you think?  Will you be sporting florals come spring?
