A Diva State of Mind

It is barely 20 degrees outside and stores have already changed their floor sets to spring collections.  You know I like to wait until at least the end of February or early March to start talking about Spring trends and collections because it’s hard to focus on Spring when you’re still wearing sweaters. However, after I previewed the alice + olivia Trunk Show online, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to start talking about Spring now!

I receive email notifications from Neiman Marcus that focus on the latest collections, trends and in-store/online sales.  Last week I received an email that gave customers a look into the alice + olivia Spring Collection and it’s fabulous!

The Collection features animal print, wide leg pants, bohemian styles and floral prints.   What else does a girl need for spring?! While the online Trunk Show is only a small glimpse into the Spring line, it was enough to get me excited for the trends we can expect to see this Spring. Check out some of my favorite looks featured on the Neiman Marcus website:

Riley Blouse with Tie and Erica Wide Leg Pants

My name is Keri and I’m in love with wide leg pants! These Erica Wide Leg Pants are hot.  Wide leg pants are one of the most flattering pants a woman can own.  As you know, masculine styles have been incorporated in women’s fashion for many seasons and this look is a masculine ensemble that is polished, modern and sexy all at the same time. Wide leg pants look great with a blouse or fitted top and heels or wedges.

Printed Silk Romper

The color combination in this romper gives you so many options with accessories. You can pair it with tan shoes and tan/gold accessories or you can brighten up the look by adding a bold belt like the red one pictured above. The great thing about rompers in the spring/summer is that they are easy to transition from day to night. Rock your romper with flats and a long necklace during the day for a casual look.  Switch into fun heels, bolder accessories and a belt at night.  (I’m still trying to find a romper that fits me right. I’ve tried them in the past and they just haven’t worked for me yet, but it is definitely a cute spring/summer look).

Bridget Poet Bohemian Dress

This is a great option for the weekend when you’re meeting friends for lunch or going on a casual afternoon date. It’s trendy yet simple which makes this type of a dress a must have in any woman’s wardrobe.

Matilda Boquet-Print Dress

Don’t be afraid of floral prints this Spring. I’m the type that typically loves to wear black dresses because they can be matched with any color accessory. But a floral printed dress like this will definitely make me want to step out of my comfort zone and you should too! This is a fun and flirty dress, great for a summer night out on the town.  You can dress down for a day look by pairing with flats.
