Happy Friday! Let's translate some more Spring 2011 Trends, shall we?
There are a lot of trends right now, you can pretty much choose from any decade and find something fun to work into your wardrobe right now.
30's - bias cut dresses and strong shoulders
40's - tailored dresses and lovely waved hairstyles
50's - full skirts or wiggle dresses
60's - mod anything and dark-lined eyes
70's - tunics, high-waist flare jeans, wedge sandals
80's - color blocking and touches of neon

One trend I am MOST excited about is anything Asian inspired.

I think the prints are gorgeous and the clean lines so elegant.

For years, I've been dying to get a silk brocade cheongsam/qipao as my go-to cocktail dress. 

Now that I'm at a healthy weight and won't look like a stuffed sausage in it, I just need to decide on the color!

You can look for a modern cut with an Asian twist to the print or decorative details like frog clasps.

Or go traditional, like this top.  I have one in a deep turquoise that I love to wear with jeans for date night.

You can work in just a little touch, like this tassled pendant neckace.

Or a brocade print on a clutch.

Something like this would make a great spring jacket!

This timeless styles and prints can work no matter your age.  It's all in how you style them!

Me? I love Asian prints mixed with either modern wavy hair or swoopy 40's styles.

I definitely suggest adding a piece to your wardrobe.  It's especially easy if you have a Chinatown near you.
