That's A Wrap! The Best Of DVF'S Spring 2016 Collection

I remember my first DVF dress. Of course, it was the wrap done in a navy print. Oh how I loved that dress! If I still had it today, I know that it would have been just as stylish as it was then. Each year, Diane's iconic wrap is reinvented with prints and patterns, but the inspiration of power and independence for women, remains the same. To learn a little about Diane and the journey of her dress click HERE.  Her Spring Collection is one of my very favorites of the season.  Scroll down for some stylish standouts.

Tuesday Trend: Straight From The Shoulder

Tuesday Trend: Fine Lines

Don't worry, I am not talking about the fine lines on our face, though mine need to be addressed soon! Today it is all about the lines that create one of Spring's best trends. These lines zig and zag, and are angled, thin, thick, horizontal, and vertical. Now stripes are nothing new, but these lines are fresh and fun. Anything with a line is my favorite print. This year you can wear the trend from head to toe - just not all at the same time!

This is my favorite trend of the season, and I have been wearing it for years. You realize that a girl doesn't gain weight in her shoulders, right?

If you give the trend a try this year, don't forget to add a little glow with lotion or powder on your shoulders.
