SJP NYC
I am in love with the Sarah Jessica Parker’s new perfume, SJP, NYC! This aroma was developed by perfumer Honorine Blanc; the notes include Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries. Carrie Bradshaw was the inspiration behind this fragrance, due to launch in February, which is just in time for Sex and the City II Movie!
Sarah Jessica noted the difference of SJP NYC compared to her other fragrances, Covet and Lovely. “It amazes me that this essence of strawberry mixes so beautifully with the more sophisticated floral notes and the musks that I love and will always have as part of my fragrances. In a million years I would never think, ‘Let’s work around strawberry.’” -WWD
SJP NYC ea de toilette collection will be available, exclusively at Macy’s in three sizes — 15 ml. for $25, 30 ml. for $35 and 60 ml. for $49 — as well as a 200-ml. body lotion for $25. A cuff bracelet with solid perfume, tentatively priced at $35, will follow in May.
During Spring 2010 Fashion Week, runway models donned fabulous range of versatile looks, that can be easily translated into your daily wardrobe. One thing designer fashion is not know for is affordability, however, these real-way takes on this spring’s runway trends are stylish, current, and will not leave your bank account empty.
Prints
Designer lines such as Versace had prints of all types ruled the Spring 2010 runway. Tribal, graphic, floral. You name the print, the runway had it. Easily make this trend your own with a fun, tribal print dress. Add a belt to accentuate your waist or wear it without to mask a tummy. For a classic, yet stylish take on the look with a zebra print tote.
Tibi Black Multi Boat Neck Dress Spiral Zebra $190 (Reg. $380)
Nudes & Neutrals
Among designers, this trend was anything but neutral. This feminine look can be yours by pairing a nude blouse with jeans or a black pencil skirt, to exude style and awareness of up-to-the minute runway trends.
ASOS Crochet Trim Chiffon Blouse $50.99
Feathers
Ostrich-inspired frocks glided down the runways this season. Make this runway trend your reality with this minimal take on the runway-inspired feather dress. Another stylish option is an elegant feather purse for just a touch of this trend.

Metallic
Metallics have been a long lived trend in fashion for the past several seasons and show no sign of slowing down. Add a hint of sparkly style to your daytime spring wardrobe with this sleeveless metallic bubble hem dress by Newport News. Give yourself some extra pep in your step with these fabulous metallic sandals from Chicago’s, Khamryn B Boutique.

Drapey
Paul & Joe and several other lines took a drapey approach. Sport a drapey blazer, vest, or cardigan with a pair of boyfriend jeans for a casual, cool vibe. For a more chic approach, wear a drapey top or dress and pair with leggings and heels.
Victoria's Secret Asymetrical Vest - $59
Chico's Kimono Drape Top
TassleMe Belt - Gold & Black Reversible
TassleMe Belt - Red Embroidered & Reversible
Created by Lynn Tilton, for Newport News, the TassleMe Belt is a fabulous spin on the belt trend. I especially love that these belts are reversible (to me, that is like buy one get one free)!
The TassleMe belt reminds me of a Victorian style, corset inspired belt. The belts would look fabulous with button down oxford shirts and jeans as well as a jersey knit dress or jumpsuit. Just as fabulous as the design of the belts is the price: only $39.99-$49.95!
