Black & White Prints
It seemed as though just about every type of print comes in black and white for spring: artistic, geometric, graphic, tribal, you name it. I especially like the mixed patterns at Naeem Khan.

Peach
If pink is too girlie for you peach is a fab alternative. It has the same soft feel without the saccharine cotton candy look. I plan on wearing peach with navy and denim in spring. I love that color combo.

Oxford Shoes
There was lace-up footwear for every type of woman on the spring runways. There were the flats that my vintage-loving partner at Forever21Report.com has been coveting and peep-toe pumps that I couldn’t take my eyes off.

Lavender
Purple is one of the hottest colors for fall-and for spring, too. Just a lighter shade.

Bustiers
Dolce & Gabbana has always been one of my favorite designers to wear. The minute I could afford it, I bought my first D&G bustier dress. Over the years, I’ve collected a decent amount of bustier tops and can’t wait to wear them. The runways showed them over cropped pants but you can also tuck one into a skirt, like Katie Cassidy did at Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood Party.

Ballerina
Prima ballerinas were front and center on the runways from the off-duty dancer at Charlotte Ronson to the edgy black swan at Jill Stuart. I can’t wait to wear the ballet-inspired dresses and skirts. It reminds me of the ten years of ballet classes I took as a child without the pain of wearing toe shoes.
