Refreshed Nostalgia

As the April showers begin to diffuse into May flowers, spring has fully bloomed and shed her sweet dew on the fashion world. This spring's trends reflect the natural colors of spring, while combining hints of nostalgia with modern flair. While summer is still a few weeks ago, soak up the remaining cool days of spring with a fresh take on classic looks: 

Tea Time
Amidst the "maxi dress" craze comes a revival of the classic tea-length skirt, perfect for a mid-afternoon tea while the skies wet the earth. A look like this combines the pastel color palate of Spring 2014 with the sweet and proper fashion of the past.

Pastel Palette

Even more delightful than spring flowers are the colors that reflect them. This spring's trends infuse the nature that defines springtime, with classic feminity. This Prabal Gurung design hints at the high modernist fashion of the 1970's, while combining modern flair with popular cutouts. 

High Tide

As spring breaks begin to end, prepare for your summer destination by complimenting this season's modern trend of pastel colors with a nostalgic pin-up swimsuit. A flashback to the styles of the 50's reminds us of the rise of feminism, and with a look like this, you'll be sure to catch someone's eye!
