Heading out Wednesday for a St. Patrick’s Day party? For those going to a classier affair than your basic frat house tavern, might I recommend the below. We absolutely cannot believe this fabulous Stella McCartney dress has not sold yet – I’d personally pair it with a super short, cropped leather jacket and some peep-toe booties like the ones I scored from Beacon’s Closet yesterday. If you need further inspiration, see how Lindsay Lohan styled it here.

Spring essentials: The trench

If you purchase nothing else this spring, grab a new trench. Of course trenches never go out of style, but we’ve seen them celebrated in unique ways lately. Vogue UK suggests belted with the buttons undone, while Gryphon has debuted this bell-sleeved version designed by mother-daughter team Judy and Jane Aldridge (of Sea of Shoes fame).

We’re of course suggesting this Covet Shop version, which brings a a bit of noir-ish, yet feminine, glamour to the staid classic.

Spring essentials: The new bag and sandals

Nothing puts a spring in your step more than a delicious new bag or some strappy sandals to go with your fresh new pedi. My picks this week…

Spring essentials: The light sweater

Toss either of these gray sweaters in your oversized bag for when it gets chilly people-watching at your favorite sidewalk cafe, and try belting them with any of these smokin’ new belts (from Miu Miu, YSL, and Gucci) posted this week.

We have all seen this fashion Don’t: The overzealous fashionista wearing not just the designer logo handbag but matching logo shoes, hat, scarf, and belt all wrapped up in one. You may even spot this fashion Don’t enclosing his/her gadgets (iPod, cell phone, you name it) with logo cases. We get it, you love the designer and therefore bought every item emblazoned with their logo. It’s okay if you have been this fashion victim, we have too! The trick is…pulling off the logo look without being fashionably ostracized.

Designer logo wear can be chic, if worn correctly, or just plain tacky. So in understanding how to achieve this look, it is important to know these two key rules.

Logo Rule No. 1. Wear one designer logo piece at a time. The rest of your outfit should not scream with logos, so try pairing a scarf, such as the Dior Silk Logo Scarf, with a plain loose fitted T-shirt and a dark denim jeans, like the Frankie B. Uptown Jean.

Another case in point: While we all fall in love with brands, it’s also easy to fall victim to over-logo syndrome. For example, sporting all three of these Gucci accessories at once would certainly be a fashion DON’T, but wearing any of these pieces separately would definitely be a fashion DO.

Tasteful worn separately, overkill all at once. Gold Ring Logo Handbag SOLD, Canvas Flats SOLD, and Gold Ring Logo Belt

Logo Rule No. 2. Keep in mind that good logo investment pieces are best from timeless brands, which will transcend seasons and trends, if mixed in with an of-the-moment outfit. See below for some perfect examples from Dior and Gucci.
