Hey Divas,
Even the most fabulous Park Avenue Princess needs to enjoy a good book every now and again, so for no particular reason I've decided to make a list of the top books I've read lately. I read a LOT (like, five to ten books a week) so I'm gonna limit this to the greatest.
1) Gramercy Park- Paula Cohen
2) Fall For Anything- Courtney Summers
3) The Fallen Novels- Lauren Kate
4) Wicked Lovely books- Melissa Marr
5) Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices- Cassandra Clare
6) A Song For Summer- Eva Ibbotson
7) Bergdorf Blondes- Plum Skyes
8) One Night Changes Everything- Lauren Barholdt
9) Something Like Fate- Susane Colasanti
10) Revolution- Jennifer Donnolly
Enjoy!
XOXO

Vintage Treasures
There is a big difference between outdated and vintage. Incorporating vintage pieces into your wardrobe is a fashionistas secret weapon. First of all, a lot of vintage pieces are one of a kind so you can be sure that the snotty girl in the office down the hall won't be wearing the same Prada sunglasses as you again. Secondly, mixing vintage and modern pieces can give an outfit a special feel. If you can successfully mix a 1950's YSL dress with a pair of edgy heels and a leather jacket then you are a true fashionista. Here are some adorable pieces that you can incorporate in your wardrobe easily.
Be bold, be daring, but most importantly, be you!
Shop estate sales, thrift shops, and even your attic
You never know what you'll find

Spring Trend Report
Hello Darlings!
I have been searching stores, magazines, the web, and the streets to put together an all inclusive 2011 spring trend report. This season is shaping up to look a lot like last spring, but with a few twists. Last spring we were all about the pretty girl punk. Florals, leather, and lace--with a great detailed military jacket of course. This year we're still seeing lots of florals and lace, but a lot less shredding. Things are looking softer, more feminine, and I must say I am liking it. So here are what I believe will be this springs hottest looks, and after the winter we've had in Chicago I sure could use some heat!
1. Lace (feminine, yet edgy. Look for lighter colors like cream and ivory)
2. Long Dresses and Skirts (Floor length, go hippy chic or classy sweet)
3. One Shoulder (Sexy, yet sweet. Look for one shoulder day dresses to give your look an edge)
4. Stripes (any color, any thickness, any garment)
4. Florals (bold or soft, avoid sofa-like colors, but don't be afraid of a nice floral chiffon)
5. Patterned tights (Perfect to add to any dress or skirt look, watch for cream lace, bows, and argyle)
6. Rompers (One again, the one piece is in. Pair retro looking rompers with modern accessories)
7. Belt Purse (little leather belt with a little leather purse. the hand free clutch)
8. High Waisted Shorts (Prints, solids, sailor inspired or cutesie florals or dots. there's a pair for everyone)
9. Fuller Skirts (there's still a place for the pencil skirt, but volume is back)
10. Neutrals (a spring favorite, dont be afraid of cream, tan, light pink, and white)
11. Mixed prints (I know mama always said not to mix dots and stripes, but mixing prints is back and better than ever)
12. Tribal Prints (bold, African inspired prints are perfect for dresses and skirts)
13. Lingerie Inspired (Dresses and camis and gorgeous this spring in sultry cuts and smooth silks)
14. 1970's (lots of modern twists on 1970's jumpsuits, trousers, and dresses)
15. Sequins (It's everywhere people, don't ignore it. Sequins make evening wear so much fun)
16. Obi Belt (Asian inspired wrap belts are perfect for day or night, you can even make your own out of an old mens neck tie)
17. Metallics (We love gold this year, go bold and go shimmer)
18. Tights with Shorts (I'm not a big fan of this look on everyone, you have to have the right body and the right pair of shorts to pull this off)
19. Asymmetrical hems (longer in that back and shorter in the front, sexy and totally hot this season)
Hope this little list helps when you're picking out your spring wardrobe!
