Really wide flares
So long, skinny jeans. Right now, we’re coveting extra-wide flares. They dip into retro-cool seventies style and look gorge with flowing tops and girly braid.

Anything monogrammed
Suddenly, personalized style seems extra cool. Slap your initials on a tote bag or opt for a piece of jewelry with your name on it. Or, get something engraved with a secret message only you and your BFF will understand.

Jumbo stripes
Stripes are super sized this spring. Nab a swingy cardi with thick, nautical-inspired stripes that you’ll wear over absolutely everything.

Wicked wedges
Welcome the “It” shoe of 2011. However ya slice ‘em, wedges were the hottest shoe to trot down the spring runways. We love bright ones, neutral ones, high ones, printed ones but, for the second, we’re smitten with these tough-girl ones.

Rose-colored gold
Wanna make your bling light up in a new way? Gold with a slight pink hue is stunning and super girly. This sparkler dresses up any outfit.
