Sprind Trend: Jumpsuit

Paul & Joe / Sonia Rykiel/ Fendi

Channeling Studio 54, THE JUMPSUIT makes a bold statement for Spring 2011. Bold ethnic prints make a mark for daywear while colors are vibrant and sensual for the nighttime regime. Whichever style you choose, keep the look on track with a pair of platform shoes.

Happy CNY

Just a quick post to wish you all readers a very happy golden Chinese NY. May it filled with love, happiness and prosperity. And though I'm not a Chinese descendant, I wore a vintage dress with mandarin collar to go with all those leather items; bag, shoes and the necklace. Love the Dorothy hairstyle they did for me too.

Spring Trend: Hanging Tassel

While it's been a constant to see the odd, small tassel on leather accessories like handbags and purses, we're now seeing them prominently - oversized, extra long, brightly coloured or made to stand out in some way.  And it's no longer just handbags: for Spring 2011 they're on everything from shoes to dresses to belts and hats.

Spring Trend: Bright and Bold

Much like polka dots and plaids, classic stripes are a thing of beauty. And while we'll always have a closet full of black-and-white or blue-and-white iterations, right now we've got brighter stripes on our minds, specifically the cheerful bubblegum styles shown on some of our favorite spring runways.

Models Favorite: Celine Luggage Tote

Although Phoebe Philo insisted she gave up creating 'IT' bags when she started designing for Céline, she still managed to create a hit - the Céline luggage tote. This bag is the anti-IT - it's simple, elegant and rather classic, which in turn, made it a huge hit!
