Women's Fashion

I'm a huge fan of tankinis because I like the coverage and it helps me to buy tops and bottoms in two different sizes for a perfect fit. This Tommy Bahama tankini ( Buy Direct) is a great update on a retro glam halter, but in a up-to-the-minute blue color and two-piece tankini fit.

Sure, there were lots of colors and styles at the Met gala,  but my faves were all of the black dresses at the Met Gala (yep, even Chloe Sevigny's funky mirrored dress.) I loved all the drama in the black dresses, especially the feathered number that Cate Blanchett wore. Even Rosario Dawson's minimalist dress in leather looked anything but boring.

Don't skimp out on fun in the sun just because you aren't body confident in your swimsuit. I've pinpointed some of the major body issues and what type of swimsuit will work with your body type.

There are so many options -- from tankinis to skirtinis -- that one will definitely work for you. (Photo Credit: Pricegrabber.com)

I love jeans, but already have enough blue (and white) denim to make it through the year. What I'm really craving is color! This spring there are loads of colored denim options, from high-end designer jeans to tummy-tucking missy cuts and even bargain colored denim. Find your perfect pair. (Photo Credit: Shopbop.com)

Want a look that's fun, sporty, sexy, trendy and chic all in one? Spring's most fun print is definitely the stripe and it's showing up on everything from striped maxis to striped shirtdresses.

Print pants are back in a big way. But just because they are trendy, it doesn't mean they are easy to pull off.

For bottom-heavy gals, prints below the waist require some careful planning; for any of us, there are certain things you should and should do to look your best in print pants (and, of course, the most important thing you should do is invest in a mirror that you can see your backside in, because that's key in pulling off print bottoms.)

You may not be at Coachella, but you can still wear the same hat that many of the celebrity attendees have been pictured in: the big, floppy hat.

This one, from Shopbop.com (Buy Direct) comes in a wear-with-everything neutral and a cool wooden bead band.

Yes, I know $550 is a lot for shoes, but I had to include these Giuseppe Zanotti's (Buy Direct)  in my list because they are -- to sound pretentious -- absolutely sublime. Perfect. Chic. I mean, they have built-in toe jewelry. How amazing is that?

Of course there are more spring shoes that I love, including well-priced metallic sandals under $20, patent blue loafers, black and white oxfords, coral running shoes, colorblock shoes and much more. (Photo Credit Zappos.com)

The secret to looking sexy like Angelina Jolie (pictured) is to use fashion to its fullest extent to make something alluring or surprising. Use elements like red lipstick, shoulder duster earrings or a bare back to make your look sexier, without revealing too much. (Photo Credit: Koji Watanabe/Getty Images)

Get your spring on with a new pair of shorts by shopping for a style that will flatter your body type. Whether you are plus-size or just have flabby thighs, there is a pair of shorts perfect for your body type.

One of my favorite lengths to recommend is this mid-thigh length (about 7") like these from Lands' End (Buy Direct) which is short enough to lengthen your legs but long enough to give some coverage. (Photo Credit: Lands' End)
