The Jumpsuit

The Jumpsuit: Love It or Hate It.....This item is here to stay.

The all-in-one fashion item piqued my interest several seasons ago, but this season there are many variations on the style that keep me wanting more. I love the jumpsuit because it is effortless. Be careful when styling a jumpsuit, you definitely need to have a specific strategy in mind or else you end up looking like you're wearing a shapeless sack. That said, rather than going through the hard work of hashing out an exact plan, instead, just look to a few of my favorite fashionable looks for cues on how to wear this key piece. Whether it's an eye-catching pattern, a luxurious fabric, or a smart accessory to spice up the assemblage, these examples illustrate how to wear the jumpsuit fashionably.

Get Trenched!

Spring is here and it’s time to get into the trenches with this classic item: The Trench Coat.

The reliable outerwear piece long linked to strong soldiers and sexy spies is one of those classics that so many of us already own, and it’s pretty safe to say that whatever coat you have, it has never fully gone out of style.

This season, though, trenches are a bona fide fashion trend, with runways and retailers offering a few twists to keep this century-old style feeling fresh.

The must have trench destination is Burberry, specifically Burberry Prorsum for its impeccable Italian tailoring and rocker chic style.

When designer Christopher Bailey of Burberry showed his Spring 11 collection last year to buyers, editors and stylists, there were glamazon's showing off dozens of different trench coat interpretations. From buttery leather to rocker style version's with studded sleeve's and even mixed materials. The Burberry Prorsum outerwear options are endless, details are impeccable and the style is timeless.

The Wide Leg Pant

Move over skinny and get ready for something wide....the wide-leg pant.

First, it must be said that wide-leg pants are not for everyone because the portion and volume can be overwhelming to certain body types.

It's for that reason that they've never been the dominant style to conquer the streets (not in the mainstream mall fashion since, anyway) and, why I count them as the go to Spring 11 pant.

Below are a few tips to wearing the Wide-leg Pant.

• With heels. Flats will simply never complete the look as well as heels will; the exception is if you're carrying off a very masculine look with man-style flats.
• With a slim-fitting top to balance out the volume on the bottom half. A soft, billowing blouse can also work well but is best broken up with a waist-cinching belt.
• 70's glamour: wide-leg trouser, platforms and a big floppy hat.
• Female dandy style - look to vintage icons like Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich for inspiration. Oxford stiletto shoes finish off this polished look.
  
• With 40s pin-up girl flair, by pairing some wide-legged sailor pants with nautical stripes and espadrilles. Don't forget the red lips.
