10 Wearable Spring Trends:

One word for spring fashion? Dresses. And lots of them. In fact, in recent trend cycles dresses have never been hotter. There are babydolls (I guess we can thank Paris Hilton for that), kimono-sleeve dresses, shirtdresses, wrap dresses, jersey dresses...you get the picture. They work for daytime and nighttime, and there's a look for every body, age and budget. But there's more to this spring than just dresses: metallics, patent, animal prints and bangle bracelets all make appearance on our list of wearable trends for now. Find out which spring fashion trends work for you.

Oscar Fashion:

Sure, there were lots of great looks on the red carpet, particularly by veterans Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett. And Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gwyneth Paltrow both worked the red carpet in dresses by edgier designers that lent a modern sense of glamour to the awards; younger stars like Kirsten Dunst and Anne Hathaway (left in Valentino) opted for classic designers.
But the one we all really wanted to see -- the actress with the most buzz -- was Jennifer Hudson and her look fizzled.

6 Spring Blouses to Love:

The easiest way to add an update to your wardrobe or indulge in a trend? Try a new blouse. Puff sleeves, ruching, graphic prints and kimono sleeves are just a few of the looks that you can pair with almost any type of bottom already in your closet. Many of the newest styles can pair with jeans on the weekend or go under a jacket for work. We love the versatility!

Black and White Combos:

Black and white is such a perennial fave in fashion because it always looks fresh and it adapts well to many different cuts and prints.

Golden Globes Fashion, 2007:

Golden Globes fashion for 2007, included great red carpet dresses from glamorous stars like Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and many more.

5 Fashion Lessons from the Oscars:

Lesson #3: Save Pastels for Easter Eggs. - You have to work really hard to make the likes of Beyonce and Kate Winslet look bad, but meek color mint green managed to do it.
Lots of women still love baby pink and blue, and there's nothing wrong with it in small doses. Just remember that if mint green makes near-flawless celebrities look washed out, your chances of pulling it off in formalwear are slim. Four more lessons from the Oscars.
