Spring 2010 trends

I was reading an article in the Style Section of the Charlotte Observer and thought I would pass on some of the highlights. Here are some of the top trends:
Nouveau Coco: Classics with ruffles, bows and draping, black and white spectator combinations along with lace and dots.
In The Garden: Rustic or elegant, this style statement is the season' most important message because flowers and other garden inspired elements are everywhere; dresses in flower prints, flowers motifs on handbags, shoes or necklace with a flower motif that is front and center. Good colors are blue, corals, pinks and turquoise.
Walk The Line: Sculptural style meets dramatic simplicity. Bold shoulders, geometric shapes and exposed hardware, complimented by chains, bold necklines, cuffs, handbags in new shapes and anything with architectural details.
Exotica: Exotic textiles, safari details, and tribal inspired trims and embellishments. Saturated neutrals and spice tones mixed with bright hues color this trend. Look for natural elements, leather, fringe, wood, snake and semi precious stones.
