As spring has fully taken its right on the thermometer, we should start discovering the new pieces of this season. It’s warmer now and it’s easy to accessorize these fabulous styles. These dresses are poised to become a huge part of any spring wardrobe and you will that they are also very much figure-friendly.

The Shirt Dress

The first item that probably caught your eye by now is the shirt dress. Even if you like the casual shirt dress (Pacsun) or you choose a more glamorous cocktail option, the shirt dress can be a terrific option. I personally love the plaid one because it has a super casual style and can be worn with both flats and heels. You can pair it with a short, cropped jacket as seen on tons of fashionphilles. The cool nude leather jacket (Doma) is a spot-on style this spring and you could accessorize it with metallics.

The Floral Dress

Another hot key piece is the floral dress. There are heaps of gorgeous options out there and you can also play with the size too as both the mini and the maxi are stunning hot. I saw lots of florals in the shops and I couldn’t help noticing that some of them have really crowded prints. I don’t recommend you wearing a bouquet of flowers on your dress, but choosing something romantic and versatile. For example an artistic floral pattern might be just the ticket for a casual office look.

The material of the dress is also important as this is the thing that chooses the time of the day that you should wear it. Go for something opaque during the day, like cotton and  try to keep the sheer options for later at dawn :) If your dress is short  and soft transparent and you want to wear it during the day you can wear it with leggings or opaque thighs.

 The maxi dress is easier beacause it practically covers you all up. I’ve seen it worn with Converse sneakers and cropped jeans jackets and they lookes relly cool. You can also match them with flips flops or wedges for a summer look, but we’ll get into that in a future article. 

The floral print dress can be paired with black statement heels (Balmain - in the pic) and cropped jacket (H&M). The edgy accessories give this outfit a note-worthy look (sunglasses - Topshop, clutch - Miu Miu, necklace - Ann Demeulemeester).

The Tunic

This top / dress is poised to because a really big thing as it’s the most versatile of all of them. You can imagine wearing as a dress if it’s long enough or with shorts, jeans, or leggings. Some pieces of this outfit  are already on the March Hotlist and you already know all about the ripped denim trend.

There are tons of hot options in the shops, I especially love the tunics that have this houglass shape and are casual and sexy.  The embroidery can be cool on tunics and it gives them a bohemian chic look (Check out some Vanessa Hudgens styles).  If you can’t afford a glamorous version like this one (Calypso Juna smock top - Net-A-Porter) you can choose a simple tunic and then style it up with a skinny belt or some long necklaces or oversized earrings (these are Wetseal).

You can start taking advantage of  the spring weather and adjust your wardrobe with fun and playful items. Age isn’t a reason not to enjoy the Hottest Items Of The Season or to step out in a shinny new pair of ballet flats. The navy bag  is already poised to become a really important part of our wardrobes and you can easily pair it with the Nautical Trend that keeps coming back every spring and summer.  Mini Skirts are really hot this season too and even if you hadn’t considered a high-waisted option yet, I think you’ll change your mind this season. I was reluctant to try this trend myself but I love this beige ruffled mini skirt from 3.1 Phillip Lim . Bold colors can also work for this outfit, however nudes and pastels can never go wrong :) 

The graphic tee and the silly cute ballet flats are the fun part of this outfit. I’ve found this website TopMax, that has some amazing Tees and dresses. This one is actually a dress but I’m sure that you can squeeze another graphic tee into your skirt to get the right high waisted look.  The Miss Marc Ballerinas are extremely eye catchy and they look so comfortable and unique. I think they really have that french style and can easily style up any outfit.

So, you shouldn’t worry too much about the accessories. and just go with something simple and casual. I loved this small bottle pendant from DAY Birger et Mikkelsen’s because it reminds me of that movie “Message In A Bottle”… quite a story wasn’t it?

You can wear a short leather jacket or something similar to finish your look. Remember, short is the new lenght for jackets this season :) and there are so many options in the shops out there, this one for example is from H&M.

I love Vanessa Hudgens!! Well not her role in HSM, (she looks too innocent) but her style and her looks :) I like her because she has a really unique way of wearing clothes, a rather younger  version of Rachel Bilson.

If you want to get het look you have to pay a really good attention to details. Accessories make the difference and the hairstyle gives you another 30%. For extra points you should consider a sexy LBD, high heels and a great tan. :)

For more relaxed ocasions, miss HSM  chooses comfortable outfits that define her age but also the trends. This fall she mixed the blazer and the boyfriend cardigan with skinny cuffed jeans and statement necklaces.

When the weather gets cold Vanessa Hudgens warms it with a pair of opaque leggings and a nice coat . The floral dress is really nice and it goes perfecly with the suede flats. If it’s colder where you live you can always skip the ballet flats and replace them with a cool pair of flat boots.

Summer is here and celebrities have also started showing off thier sunshine outfits. You can try this knit black and white top with short jeans and some flats or gladiator sandals.

There’s a new trend shining in town and I wanted to introduce it to you until you saw it on some fashionista and thought that she wore the flag to work today.

Hi girls,

Believe it or not, today I reach to a deep and precious conclusion :

Tees can be powerful dressing items if you match them smartly.

You can choose from different types starting with simple- one color ones and going deeper with polo T’s or graphic prints. You should always have in your wardrobe:

a couple of simple tees - white, black, beige or grey

some grahic prints - polka dots, stripes, stars, animal prints

a few polo tees- intense blue and red, yellow, green

I have chosen 3 outfits that you can wear with a neon color skirt or with shorts. You can also use T’s for the regular combination with jeans and ballet flats.

1.   Tee: Aristocrat Vest Tee  from Forever21 ;  Skirt: Chloe cotton skirt from NAP ; Flats: Large Bow Flats from WetSeal

2.  Tee: Free To Be Green from Forever21 ;  Skirt: Moschino - Silk ruffle skirt from NAP ; Platforms: Strappy Wedge from WetSeal

3. Tee: Heritage Pique Polo from Forever21 ;  Skirt: Chloe - color block tiered skirt from NAP ; Flats: Miu Miu Crystal embellished flats from NAP
