Elegant Floral Prints at Cynthia Steffe, Derek Lam, and Milly.


Style tip? 
Prints took a decidedly floral turn this season, an evolution from the graphic, geometric prints of the past few seasons.  Choose a print in proportion to your body–e.g. if you’re petite, opt for a smaller print.

What do you think?  Would you wear floral prints?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

The Long Blazer at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Philip Lim.


Style tip?  Cropped blazers dominated the fashion scene for the past several seasons, which is great for long waisted gals.  But for those of us with a short waist and long legs, the long blazer is much more figure flattering.


What do you think?  Would you wear a long blazer?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

Funnel necklines at James Coviello, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Luca Luca.


Style tip? 
Like turtlenecks, funnel neck garments work best on those with long necks.  If you’re not blessed with a long swan neck, try a more open funnel neckline, a la Marc Jacobs.
