 |  |  Each year, yellow makes an appearance, brightening up a look here or there but rarely getting the center-stage attention it deserves. This spring, that’s all changing because the sunny hue is a must-have in its own right. Yellow is the perfect complement to sun-kissed skin, but if you prefer to ease into this color trend, start small in the world of accessories. Throw a sunny tote over your shoulder for brunch with the girls, or pair that flirty little dress with yellow sandals or flats. Once you’ve had a taste, branch out. Top crisp white denim with an airy yellow blouse, or dive into a goldenrod sundress. We think you’ll like it. The lemon tint has been neglected long enough. Spring 2008 loves it in every shade, so find your favorite and add a little sunshine to your life. | ||||||||

There’s nothing hotter than a great leather jacket for spring. It takes me seamlessly from a day at work to a night out on the town, and this one from Vince has everything I could ask for. Its intricate details and feminine shape look incredible whether I am wearing it over a girly spring dress for some contrast, or with my favorite pair of skinny jeans and a tee for that little bit of edge I love. —Maia, Graphic Designer | | Spring styles are arriving, which means you're gearing up to wade through a sea of offerings to find the pieces that will define the season.

Robins chirping? Rays of sunshine at 6PM? Kind of a yawn, quite frankly. Our favorite sign of spring? Straight-off-the runway shoes and bags. We adore how a haute tote from Temperley London, an iconic Marc Jacobs, or a timeless-yet-trendsetting Zac Posen over our shoulder instantly ups the chic quotient of an otherwise understated spring look, while Derek Lam’s Marisa has all the makings of a modern classic. And don’t even get us started about the offbeat elegance of the offerings from British Designer of the Year Anya Hindmarch. (Suffice it | | to say, we’ve developed an unhealthy obsession with her Naplak bags.) And while we’re on the topic of obsession, let’s talk spring shoes. We’re snapping up sexy stilettos from celebrity favorites Sergio Rossi and Giuseppe Zanotti, and fashion-forward flats from Barbara Bui. Givenchy is our go-to for a gorgeous gladiator, and we’ve got all sorts of love for statement-making styles from Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix. We’ve singled out our spring favorites. Now go find yours, right here, in the Designer Boutique. | ||||||||
