Fashion: More Spring10 J Crew Lookbook
J Crew has become a reliable source of styling suggestions. Their Spring 2010 lookbook has some ideas for wearing a number of the season's trends.
The "tough + ladylike" look is still strong -- especially with big, rough jewelry, or sporty touches, to offset sequins and ruffles. I especially like their approach to spring's soft neutrals and pastels (like blush and lavender) - add a little orange or acid yellow, to keep it all from becoming super-meh. Including a decent amount of warm grey also works.

Spring Steals
Forever21 "Silk Blended Applique Top" - $15.80
This is actually "reverse applique," and I'm totally gonna try to make something with it for spring. (See the Alabama Chanin collection for lovely examples of the technique.)
Spring Steals
Heritage 1981 "floral blossom tunic" - $19.90
There are two ways that Americana is manifesting itself in spring fashion - one is sweet, with faded florals, like this Depression-era type print.
The other is tougher - denim, plaid, Grunge-influenced.
