Karen Carpenter sang that Rainy Days and Mondays always got her down. How about you?

If we all could look this good in a classic trench and red soled Louboutin's, we would never mind a rainy day. Here, my edits, of rainy day gear

that will always make you smile!

The happiest of trenches are from Burberry Prorsum. Bright, bold and beautiful!

Valentino adds his signature feminine 

style to a Bow Back Red Trench. 

It's raining.  Might as well make the most

of it and have fun. Felix Rey's Kissy Face

Umbrella does the trick!

Milly's Mini's for little fashionistas couldn't 

be any cuter. Perky polka dots pop perfectly.

Saks

 Can you ever have too much Valentino?

His Strawberry Field Trench will brighten

any rainy day!

Sometimes it just rains cats and dogs.

Now man's best friend can be prepared

for any kind of weather! Get a classic trench

at Bitch New York.

Burberry's Sculptural Opera Coat

tops my list of Spring toppers!

Spring Forward With Floral

Somewhere under the snow and on the racks in your favorite stores Spring has sprung! Fresh florals are blooming brightly.  I think I'm into this romantic revival.  Perhaps not head to toe, but a pretty pump with posies

 sounds appealing!

 A garden of fashionable fleurs is growing

at Kate Spade...and in unexpected ways, too!

Zac Posen's Fitted Taffeta Blazer and Hibiscus-Print Flared Dress is a little bit Victorian and very feminine.  The jacket adds a touch of sophistication. Find it at 

Neiman's

Lovely Lela Rose has created a gorgeous

Full Skirted Drape Dress. It's picture perfect

for all of Spring's prettiest parties.

Shop Bop

Like a dream.  No one does feminine better than Oscar de la Renta! If it wasn't so expensive, this would be a pretty pick for Prom!
Neiman Marcus

Valentino's Bustier Dress is subdued and sensational!
Moda Operandi

This floral chiffon gown goes from poolside
dinner to prom for less than $100.
Nordstrom

Loving Yigal Azrouel's Floral Ikat Jacket. Shown here worn over a scoop knit dress.  
Very 2013, no?
Nordstrom

Wolford always has a leg up on fashion trends!
Get your floral fix from head to toe.

Found this Valentino image on Pinterest. Matching your nails to your dress is rather fun.

Oh Jimmy! Finally fancy footwear that we all can wear!  Love the kitten heel on the 
Varia Pump

Too bad it's only 30 degrees outside.
I feel like planting a garden!

Guy Day Friday

What will the men in your lives be wearing this Spring?  Hopefully, not hoodies and sweatshirts.  Here, my edits, of the runway's best in the Men's Collections for Spring 2013.

I don't know if it is the long hair, scruffy beard or the look of the jacket, but I'm digg'n this blazer and the entire look from Hugo Boss. Find it at 

Nordstrom

Ditch the gym bag and carry on!

I'd go anywhere with a man toting

Giorgio Armani's Crocodile Embossed Bag.

Neiman Marcus

A conservative look for casual sportswear.

Love the reversible Façonnable Vest.

Nordstrom

Is there anything more dapper and classic  than a man in a black blazer, white shirt and grey pants? Love this look by Canali!

Nordstrom

Balenciaga's Two Layered Band Collar Shirt.

A very versatile shirt that could be worn with

everything from a tux to dark denim.

Barney's NY

Alexander McQueen plays with patterns while mixing prints and patterns. A very updated

look at 

Alexander McQueen

  

Infuse your guys wardrobe with a pop of color! An easy and comfy way to do so, is with shoes.

Barney's has a great selection of drivers from Prada,Ralph Lauren, Tod's & Ferragamo.

Mod Monday

Spring 2013 Trend: Mod Squad

One of my favorite runway trends, turns back the hands of time. You will see an ode to Sixties Mod, with bold, graphic patterns and 
retro shapes.  

Moschino's Applique Stretch Cotton Dress

features two of Spring's trends, a graphic mod print in black and white. Love it. It's expensive but great fun.

Luisaviaroma

Michael Kors infused Spring fashion with shots of bold color in retro shapes. Wear it head to toe. His Pocket Skirt in crepe with matching top is a big dose of sixties sunshine.

Neiman Marcus

Lisa Perry always does a mod look...which I love.  The Domino Dress is an easy to wear dress for women of all ages.

Barneys NY

One of my fave looks. Proenza Schouler really
leathered up on the runway for Spring. This suit is a mod squad sensation! I can't find this exact suit
for sale, but Barney's has many of their 
leather pieces.

Kate Spade's window pain in black and white is
accessorized with white out nails and a pop of geek chic. Find all the pretty pieces at 
Kate Spade.

Vuitton had, perhaps the most graphic runway
presentation.  Checks and stylish stripes were
certainly not your Grandma's gingham or pinstripes.

Striped in Style Saturday

The season's hottest pattern is stripes! We're not talking the classic nautical look....the runways have amped up the ante with bolder lines and plenty of them..head to toe!  

Dolce and Gabbana striped poplin dress is good for so many reasons. Wear it day to night. Of course, black pumps are perfect, but aren't

Giuseppe Zanotti's Floral/Striped Pumps 
more fun?
