 D&G Spring 2010 RTW (photo courtesy of: style.com) | Denim ruled the runways in most of Spring Ready-to-Wear Collections. From dresses to shoes, denim was center stage. Design duo Dolce and Gabbana showcased an array of very chic, innovative denim pieces for D&G Spring 2010 RTW Collection. Aside from the obvious (denim jeans and shorts), I suggest to opt for interesting pieces to integrate in your spring looks. Denim rompers and dresses are great for day. As for evening, tailored jackets or denim oxford shirts with flattering silhouettes. When I was looking for items to feature, I noticed that prices are a bit steep. Here's a tip: you can always go to your tailor and have him/her make pieces inspired by those expensive designer garments. |

I shopped the sale and there is not much of a selection on size availability. But it is still worth shopping. It is like a fashion scavenger hunt. Consider yourself blessed by the fashion deities if you find a pair of shoes or dress on your size because the savings are serious!
I've been a big fan of alice+olivia for Payless since day one. Stacy Bendet's designs for Payless are chic and quite stylish. Her newest creations for Payless are hot! I particularly love her 'Madison' Biker Boot (shown above), it is edgy and modern.
Payless Shoes is simply getting it fabulous right on which designer they partner with. The latest addition on their repertoire is Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. He is by far my favorite Project Runway winner. And staying true to his fierceness, Christian's shoes for Payless are just that and then some. So, if you're looking for affordable yet stylish shoes I suggest check out Payless Shoes. Payless is also having it's BOGO 1/2 Everything Sale, great time to stock up and save!

The one-piece design also minimized the risk of getting in the way of handles and grips.It didn't take long for the easy-to-launder convenience of jumpsuits made it the garment-of-choice of many -- like firefighters, pilots, miners, race car drivers and other skilled craftsmen.

Ruffles are commonly used as trimmings on skirts and dresses. Bridal gowns and ball gowns come to mind when I hear ruffles. Honestly, I never favored ruffles. I didn't like the unnecessary volume they add on clothing. And when one of my friends told me earlier this year that Prada is coming out with ruffled shoes and handbags, I wasn't a bit excited.
All my presumptions of tacky, hideous shoes and handbags, I had to take back when I saw the chic, modern and innovative applications of ruffles. I was guilty of not giving ruffles the benefit of the doubt and underestimating a designer's capabilities. So, I stand corrected. Nowadays, I'm a ruffle lover! I particularly love apparel that has asymmetrical tier ruffle design.Thread Social has a collection of ruffle dresses that are so chic! The silhouette, feminine and sexy yet elegant.
Word of advice, there are still pretty offensive usage of ruffles out there. Use your 'fashion commonsense' when shopping. If you think a ruffle top is ugly at first sight, trust your instinct and move on to the next. Here are a few items you can use as reference when shopping. Have fun!
