Window Shopping

29 Apr

A feminine, flowy tank is one of S&P’s must-haves for the warm weather months. Not only is it uber-chic, but also multifunctional. Throw on a fitted blazer and a skinny belt with some trouser pants for the office. When it’s time to hit the streets, ditch the blazer and pair it with a curve-hugging pencil skirt for a look that’s perfect for date night or a fun with the girls.

Spring Essentials 2010: Tribal Prints

26 Apr

Tribal prints were all over the runway at many of the spring 2010 shows. It’s easy to go from chic to costume-y in this look-at-me print, however, so remember that less is more. If wearing a blouse in a tribal print, opt for a classic trouser pant or pencil skirt in a solid color to balance the look. Wearing a dress? Pair it with nude heels and instead of going all out on the accessories, choose a single statement piece like a cuff bracelet or earrings.

When incorporating runway trends into your everyday wardrobe, what works on the catwalk doesn’t necessarily translate well into real life. Editing yourself when putting together a stylin’ outfit is key.

Here are a few of our top tribal picks found out at some of your favorites stores and online shops:
