What I’m Buying This Spring & Summer Fashion Season

____________________________________

It’s always a challenge to take the fashion season’s trends and then distill them down to what it means for you. Sometimes you might love something, but it just isn’t right for your body or age. With fashion trends, it’s really important to understand what works for you!

Here’s what I’m coveting for the 2010 spring and summer fashion season—some I’ve already purchased and some I’m still eyeing . . .

1. Elizabeth and James Field Jacket $545
My take on the military trend: my new Elizabeth and James lightweight trench. It’s the perfect transitional jacket for my busy lifestyle running around the city.
Buy at Shopbop

2. Vince Shrunken Blazer $445
I just got this cute navy shrunken blazer by Vince. I’m planning to wear it with my Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and a little striped tee underneath with a wedge cage shoe.
Buy at Shopbop

3. Lanvin One-Shoulder Ruffle Dress $1,190
I love this Lanvin dress. You can really dress it
up or down, and the color is to die for. It makes
me happy just looking at it.
Buy at Kirna Zabête

4. Chloé Wide Leg Vent Pocket Jeans $565
I’m seriously coveting these CHLOE jeans! I need them now!!
Buy at Intermix

5. YSL Agate Disc Necklace $650
This one I already bought—it’s my YSL take on the tribal trend. I plan to throw it on with all of my spring simple tees and tanks. It takes a basic outfit up 10 notches and makes it fantastic.
Buy at Saks

6. Lanvin Macramé Low Sandal $1,110
I’d really like to get these Lanvin macramé sandals—the colors are so much fun. Reminds me of Rasta colors.
Buy at Kirna Zabête

I’m still trying to figure out what bag to get this season . . . there are so many good ones!
