Black and white striped shirts, dresses and pants have turned into one of the most popular ways to wear the black and white trend this spring 2013 season. Cobalt blue also happens to be a wildly popular color for spring/summer 2013; and it also happens to be one of my favorite colors of all time! So, when I spotted these beautiful blue sandals at Zara, and this black/white striped top at Zara, I could not help but get them! I am quite certain these shoes will be worn a lot this spring/summer season!

Have you been wearing the black/white trend this season? What is your favorite way to wear this trend?

Pattern, bright colors, pointed toes and 1980’s silhouettes are all hot trends for spring/summer 2013. These are trends which I love! I decided to mix them all together, which this Milly dress helped me do  , and bright out the color of 2013 through accessories. What is your favorite way to mix these trends for spring?

Metallics have been huge for the past few seasons and are showing no sign of slowing down as we head into summer, fall and winter. Printed jeans and studs are also two trends which were hot on the fall/winter 2013/2014 runways. With all of these runway trends popular on the street, it is fun to mix and match them together for a personal touch!

I especially love this edgy tote bag by Dareen Hakim from Circle & Square SF. It has a pewter, metallic finish which works well both during the day and for evening occasions. The tote bag is roomy yet lightweight which is always a plus! Since pewter is darker than silver, this tote bag will work well as we move into the fall/winter season. Love that! I am all about investment dressing
