Trend-spotting: Bra Top

I feel as though, if done right, bra tops/cropped tops can be a very chic look for Spring. They were seen all over the runway, and I fell in love. I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect one I know I could pull off, and pair with my closet flawlessly. Instead of baring your mid-riff with this top, a la Carrie Bradshaw, show a hint of skin by pairing it with tailored high-waisted trousers or shorts. They also look fantastic with full, high-waisted a-line skirts, like above, or a tight, high-waisted pencil skirt. To add even more structure to the look, throw on a blazer. Below I have a few top options, paired with crisp shorts, and a tuxedo style blazer. Will you try this daring look?

Trend-spotting: Pastels

This is definitely not news, but of course pastel colors are a huge hit for Spring 2012. I wanted to point them out because they are a great alternative to neons, if you aren't all about standing out in loud colors. They are much easier to pair with your existing wardrobe, and if you're color shy, rather than sticking to accessories like you would with neon shades, you could wear pastels from head to toe, and still be muted and soft. The colors are absolutely beautiful in light and airy silks, and in tougher leather, suedes, and cottons.
