American Retro Garden silk-blend dress $177 from The Outnet

Spring is undoubtedly the time to wear florals, and despite the fact that I'm not really a fan of floral prints, I can't help but be taken by the romantic, sort of painterly print on this silk-blend dress by American Retro! Picture it with tights and suede booties on chillier days, then with strappy, caged sandals when the weather warms up. Just divine, but leave the beret at home. It's $177.00, regularly $590.00, from The Outnet.

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara hits stores in April!

CoverGirl is about to launch a new mascara that promises to plump your lashes and extend their length, all in one! I tried out a sample of this LashBlast Fusion mascara on my Very Paltry Lashes, and though I didn't end up with super-model lashes, I was pleased with the results. The oversized wand seemed counter-intuitive, but it did make it strangely easier to get at those fine lashes, especially at the corners of my eyes. (A note to the product designers: the very fat blue container is nice to look at, and will likely stand out in the store, but it was a little tricky to open, since it's smooth plastic and my hands are very dry. Maybe a little "grippier" next time!) The mascara goes on very smoothly, and it did give my lashes a subtle "fanning" effect without too much effort (or skill) on my part. I also like the fact that the mascara has no discernible scent, and no flaking even after a long day of wear. So give it a whirl: you'll see it in a drugstore near you in April retialing for around $8.99. If you'd like to order a pre-sale sample to try, visit CoverGirl's Facebook page to sign up.

Spring showers bring May flowers, or so the saying goes! But along with the showers comes an array of stylish-looking waterproof footwear, like these Coastal Rain Skimmers from none other than L.L.

In the Spotlight - Red Cocktail Dress Minus the Malfunction from TheFind!

Katherine Heigl's news of dress malfunction spread across the web faster than you can say Gray's Anatomy. Along with news of the unattached strap is Heigl's news that she will be leaving the show to spend more time with her daughter, Naleigh. With news of this latest fashion mishap the little red dress is in the spotlight again. We love how the bright color looks just right on a sleeveless dress. Whether it is tones of blue-red or a deep coral red we are loving all shades of rouge in cocktail dresses for spring.

Katherine Heigl graciously finishes her acceptance speech for Female Star Of The Year Award at the ShoWest convention after the strap on her red dress breaks. Also striking and red-carpet worthy is the Lotusgrace Pleated Taffeta Cocktail Dress (upper right, $460 at Saks.com). A perfectly pretty party dress featuring a full skirt and taffeta bow belt. This classic dress would be appropriate for a springtime wedding or even the prom! The full skirt has just the right fullness without looking like you're trying too hard. From Oscar de la Renta the Angled-Pocket Dress with black belt (bottom right, $1990 at Bergdorf Goodman) is classic with a Mandarin collar and slit neckline that will look simply marvelous at the office or for the chic-est of dinner parties. I could even imagine this for a first date. It is polished and sexy at the same time showing off just a little bit of leg thru the slit skirt. Very vintage chic with a wide patent leather black belt. For the budget conscious recessonista is a noteworthy deal of the week. The Perfect Pleated Sheen Dress (bottom left, $27.80 at Forever 21) is the most star-worthy of red dresses. Glamourous in it's appeal the pleated bust line and angled front seams combine for a hourglass figure fit. There is flexible boning embedded into the seam to add support and shape to the dress. Be sure to use some Bristol's 6 Stylin' tape to hold this dress up, unless of course you'd like to re-inact Katherine Heigl's dress malfunction! On your toes try some black Burberry platform sandals.

Cashmere pointelle hoodie from CO2 Cashmere

There's a small revolution going on in my closet right now: Cashmere is slowly edging out all lambswool, merino and cotton blend sweaters. Maybe it's because this winter in NYC seemed chillier than ever, maybe it's because cashmere adds some elegance to my mass-market fashion finds! Either way, I'm delighted with this Cashmere pointelle zip-up hoodie (see right) from CO2 Cashmere. The super-luxe and soft pointelle knit has a delicate diamond pattern, perfect to layer over a tank underneath. And the soft grey color is just right for spring. (If your tastes run edgier, CO2 cashmere has colorful tunics and sweaters in airbrush-style prints, favoured by none other than Halle Berry and Daryl Hannah.) An investment piece, definitely; it's $330.00 from CO2 Cashmere. Get free shipping on orders over $100.00; follow CO2 Cashmere on Twitter or FaceBook for exclusive deals!

Spring Treat: Nirvana black diamond ring $220.00 from Swarovski!

With a few minutes to kill, I stopped into a Swarovski store while waiting for a friend, and ended up having to root myself out of there before I bought something impulsively! The object of my attention was this unbelieveably sparkly Nirvana ring; the very friendly saleswoman offered to let me slip onto my finger and right then, I was sold. Nicely hefty (since it's encircled with faceted crystal), this ring is sparkly, but in a way that is clearly "cocktail ring chic" not "I'm wearing a 15 carat rock". It flattered even my unmanicured hand -- plus, it comes in an array of colors -- but I'm feeling this black diamond one. I might have to succumb to this temptation... It's $220.00 from Swarovski.

Inspiration for the Modern Bride from TheFind!

The wedding season is fast approaching and brides to-be are on the search for the perfect dress, shoes and accessories. Some brides-to-be spend months searching for the perfect dress. Carrie Bradshaw's entire wedding plan was thrown into a tailspin because of her over-the-top Vivienne Westwood dress. I was lucky - the second dress I tried on I chose and purchased on the spot. It was a "Saketini" gown made famous by San Francisco couturier, Colleen Quen. Today there are many options whether you are having a grand vineyard estate wedding in Napa Valley or a simple civil ceremony at City Hall. There are styles to suit everyone from the classic bride to the bohemian and fashionista alike.

Perfectly suited for a civil ceremony or glamourous penthouse affair, this fitted ivory ribbed-crepe dress is classic with a twist detail at the shoulder. The short sleeve RM by Roland Mouret Aphrodite twist-detail dress ($1,545 at Net-a-Porter) features a low back, a slim fitting skirt and split at the back. Most women either love or hate veils. If you are the type to wear a veil, Lanvin makes an exquisite glass pearl-embellished tulle veil ($1,070 at Net-a-Porter). Pricey, yes, but you can save it as a family heirloom for your daughters. The Blanche veil attaches with a silver-tone hair comb and is embellished with 100% Swarovski glass beads. Exquisite! With a the fitted and short skirt on the Mouret dress you'll want to have a pair of very special shoes on your feet. How about these satin Christian Louboutin Miss ChaCha satin platform sling backs? They are available for $945.00 at Barneys New York. As you glide around the dance floor or pose for photos, wouldn't it be lovely to have this Lanvin Silk-satin Drawstring Pochette ($770 at Net-a-Porter) on your arm? Grace your ears with a pair of Ben-Amun Crystal Framed Pearl Drop Earrings ($188 at Max and Chloe). These shimmering drop pearl earrings feature two lustrous pearls and are surrounded by Austrian crystals. Before you walk down the aisle spritz on Christian Dior's Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet ($88.00 at YesStyle). Containing the essence of the original Miss Dior fragrance is has notes of mandarin orange, peony and musk, you will start life with your new husband smelling sublime.

Add texture + color to a basic shirt with an infinity neck ring from Echo Design!

I'm always envious of the girls that can drape their scarves just so, without the ends constantly becoming untucked or the entire formation just losing its shape. So you can imagine my delight upon discovering the "infinity neck ring", a scarf that is essentially one circle of fabric that can be looped around the neck once or twice for a perfectly-formed neckline accessory. Echo Design has a few that caught my fancy in cheetah, tie-dye, or ripped jersey, perfect to add a little color and texture to a basic T-shirt. Give it a whirl! They're $38.00, $38.00 and $28.00 respectively, all from Echo.

MacIntosh dress from Spool No.72 Clothing Company!

When two unlikely forces meet and meld, rather than clash, it's time to sit up and take note. Like I did when I saw this endearing dress--which pairs a Kelly green skirt with a striped navy and off-white bodice--all done up at the waist with a very Kate Spade-esque bow. Slip on some peep-toe espadrilles to complete the look. It's $52.00 from Spool No.72 Clothing Company. Become a fan of Spool No.72 Clothing Company on Facebook.

Jessica Bennett Kave wedge heels $134 from Lori's Shoes!

These peep-toe wedges are at once glamourous and retro; slip them on and feel like a Hollywood siren! Or, as a modern-day fashionista, pair them with your skinniest black jeans and a voluminous blouse. The 3.75" wedge heel is offset a little by the 1" platform sole, so you won't be wishing you had worn your flats half-way into the evening. Comfort always trumps style, in my book. They're $134.00 from Lori's Shoes.

Cowl Back Top $84.00 from Miss Me!

This silk blouse is a nice alternative to the little black dress; just pair it with some slim, tailored trousers and strappy heels for a cocktail-worthy outfit! It's $84.00 from Miss Me.

Suede hobo bag $89.50 from Lands' End Canvas!

A sorbet-colored suede hobo can give your spring ensemble a well-deserved pop of color! I couldn't resist featuring my fave colors: Soft Fern, Deep Sea Mist and Orange Spice, plus it comes in the requisite black and brown as well. You can count on Lands' End quality details: leather trim, nice-quality suede, and a cotton twill-lined interior. It's $89.50 from Lands' End Canvas.

Lucky Brand Maddox Clogs $89.00 at Nordstrom

These Maddox clogs by Lucky Brand are my latest impulse purchase, I must confess. (With all the window-shopping and online research I do for this blog, I've learned not to succumb to initial retail temptations! But sometimes, my resolve crumbles...) These clogs have just the right combination of sturdiness without clunkiness (note the angled heel), edginess--nicely riveted--but not obnoxiously so, and comfort. Comfort ranks pretty high in my book of shoe criteria these days, and these clogs have got super-cushy insoles and a nice padding around the edge of the uppers. Plus, they look just fab, don't you think? They're $89.00 from Nordstrom. Note, I actually purchased my pair at Macy*s, but I couldn't find them on their website, so I had to list Nordstrom instead. Sorry, Macy*s!
