Lilac Denim Jackets Bags Oh My – The color of the season
When I think of Spring I think of flowers and colors of flowers. One of my favorite artists is Monet for that reason. He has done some gorgeous paintings that depict the colors of the flowers from Spring and those colors almost always involved lavenders, lilacs, pinks, greens, yellows, and reds. One of my favorite colors is lilac and there is nothing better than when this color is on trend in fashion and you can find the color in everything from cashmere sweaters to shoes and bags. One of the must have items this season is the colored denim pant. Of course if I participate in the colored denim trend this season it is going to be with a pair of lilac jeans and a pair of lilac pumps. Check out my collage. I picked some amazing options that you will not be able to resist if you are a lilac fan.

What to Wear to Coachella for 2012
Coachella will bring together some of the best musical artists this April, but it will also serve, as it has in the past, as an outdoor showroom of new trends for fashion. Instead of the typical fedora and wide-brimmed hats we saw at Coachella last year, try a floppy crochet raffia version like this one from Opening Ceremony. The less rigid structure of this type of hat will give you more freedom to see everything around you, but it will still protect against the sun. Hemp is a big fabric seen in many Coachella styles, but since you will be on your feet all day, wedges are not always the best option.
This year the flat espadrille will be the best type of shoe for you that is both fashionable and practical. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Flat Espadrilles are supportive, comfortable, and cuter than plain sneakers – perfect for walking around all day from tent to tent.
When it comes to fashion at Coachella, the easier the outfit, the better. That’s why we like the Indah Taylor Romper. It’s light and airy, perfect for the hot weather. It’s simple to throw on, but still has shorts so you don’t have to worry about how you’re sitting when you take a break to relax on the ground.
Since there’s a good chance you will lose your sunglasses from taking them on and off or from lending them to friends, one inexpensive but stylish pair is all you need to bring. These cute
Cheap Monday Cryokinesis Sunglasses have a fun geometric twist on the typical cat eye sunglasses. They come with a drawstring pouch, but at $30, you won’t be horribly upset if you lose them at one point during the festival.
Another Coachella style tip for this year is to keep your bag size to a minimum. In the hot heat with crowds of people, the last thing you will want to do is lug around a giant bag. So keep it simple with a cosmetic case that can double as a wristlet for the day. The Diane von Furstenberg Vintage Collection Travel Cosmetic Bag is the perfect one. The size is big enough to hold all of the essentials – phone, wallet, sunblock, lip balm, and your sunglasses, but it’s small enough to not weigh you down. The blue leafy print will look chic against all of your outfits that weekend and the removable wrist strap makes it a great way to know it will be on you at all times.
Because it will be so hot at Coachella, wearing both a bra and a top can make you sweaty and uncomfortable. A cropped bra top will give you enough support with built-in bra features but can double as a top. The sheer mesh material of this VPL Cropper Bra Top will keep you cool and ventilated.
The final recommendation for Coachella next month is a cotton or jersey turban headband instead of the braided headbands we saw so much at last year’s event. This Eugenia Kim Chiara Turban Headband is lightweight but will still keep your hair out of your face and your head much cooler. Not only this, but it comes in a hot pattern made up of black, taupe, and brown, making it a versatile necessity for your Coachella gear.
3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Bag completes this ensemble for Spring 2012
If there is one way to show some of my favorite items for Spring 2012 it is to show you a visual collage of how I like to put things together. Since it is early Spring 2012 and it is still very cold everywhere or rainy, we are not putting away our jackets and ankle boots yet. One of my go to looks is the boyfriend blazer, ankle boots, tunic, coated denim jeans, and a great bangle and turquoise necklace. It is just the right pop of color without overwhelming worn with a great functional size bag made with the most sumptuous leather. Take a look at my picks from 3.1 Phillip Lim, Joie, DL1961, and Rag & Bone.
Get the Rag & Bone black motorcycle boots for $595.
The 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 hour bag is gorgeous and functional for $795.
The DL1961 Coated Emma denim jeans for $168.
The always on trend Rag & Bone tuxedo jacket is a perfect complement this edgy on trend ensemble for $495.
The Joie Marlo tunic top with its open v neckline and hem length drapes nicely over a pair of skinny denims for $218.
A very cool pendant in a turquoise color brings the focus close to your face and finishes off a great outfit beautifully. Check out the Nessa Peacock Turquoise Tourmaline necklace for $1,565. And do not forget the arm party. Add the Marni Coal Vertical Band Bangle Bracelet for $345 to complete your Spring 2012 look.
Heartloom Blouse Jessica Alba wore this week in LA

Hunger Games Brown Katniss Boots
If you are obsessed with Hunger Games and cannot wait to see the movie this weekend, you should gear up for the movie by wearing the brown 3 strap boots seen on Katniss to the movie.
These are great looking boots that are made of high quality leather and were originally used by military soldiers instead of lace up boots so they would not get caught on the tank machinery. These handmade boots are made in the USA by a factory in Pennsylvania called The Vintage Shoe Company.
I can see hundreds of ways you can wear these boots from pairing them with jeggings and a tunic to a skirt and sweater. You will find yourself wearing these boots again and again. I was at the LA Transit shoe show this week and saw these boots in person. The leather is so smooshy it reminded me of the tumbled washed leather of a Balenciaga bag. This is definitely a quality boot that you will wear for years. Get them before you see the movie.
Click here to buy them in a size 8 and up for $335.
If you need a size 6 this is the only place that has it in both black and brown on sale for $270.99 because they only have size 6 and 10 left.
