    What makes a sexy statement this season? Shoulders. Whether it be one shoulder, cold shoulder or off-the-shoulder…shoulders are the must have focus this season.  Fortunately, shoulders are more forgiving than the midriff baring trend that started a few years back, flattering for most and create a pretty and romantic vibe.

    OFF-THE-SHOULDER

    Off-the-shoulder options abound this season, but my favorite is this gorgeous Joie Aria Striped Silk Dress. Despite the horizontal stripes, which are traditionally thought to be unflattering, the execution of the stripes on this dress are flattering and attractive on most body types.  Available at www.saks.com.

    ONE SHOULDER

    This lovely linen and rayon blend Santorini top by Backstage is a flattering and glamorous top with its ruffled hem. Be sure to order a size down as it runs a bit large.  Available at www.revolve.com.

    Update your wardrobe and be sure to show off your shoulders this season!

    Style & Life Spring Stripes 

    When it comes to Spring trends, stripes are a staple every year. It is as if they go hand in hand with warm weather. When I start seeing resort collections in November, there are always striped items that remind me that Spring is around the corner. There are many different kinds of stripes…nautical, brightly colored, variegated, bold…my favorites tend to be softer versions. Beachy, a little boho and romantic are the styles I tend to gravitate toward. One of the benefits about investing in striped clothing is that you tend to wear them for many seasons…they do not become as dated as other trends. I have created three looks with some of my favorite Spring Stripes items.

    Style & Life Spring Striped Top

    This Caroline Constas top makes a serious fashion statement this Spring. With its off-the-shoulder silhouette, voluminous sleeves and cheery stripe pattern, you will let everyone know you know what is in vogue. When wearing statement pieces like this, I try to keep the rest of my look simple. I wore this top with a pair of slim dark denim to keep the emphasis on the top and not add volume on the bottom. This top is now on sale and available at www.intermixonline.com.

The top also looks cute with denim shorts or crops. The top is available at www.shopbop.com. Pants available at www.neimanmarcus.com.
