Trendspotting: Weekly Fashion Roundup

Jade Earrings have been showing up on the ears of various Celebutauntes... they can give your outfit a nice pop of color that feels right for this Winter/Spring season the Midwest is in currently.
Jessica Lowndes, Minka Kelly, Shantel VanSanten
For inexpensive jewelry, I always head to Forever 21...




While we're on the earring topic, another trend du jour is the feathered earring.  This trend is much easier to get to than the feathered hair extensions idea... but who knows, maybe the accessory is the gateway drug to multi colored hair a la Carrie Bradshaw in the first SATC movie.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Biel
Again - all items below are from Forever 21


Feather Earrings, $3.80
Peacock Teardrop Earrings, $3.80
Dangling Feather Earrings, $4.80


Speaking of overt embellishments... I'm totally feeling the 3D embellishment movement.  Especially if it's soft flowers.

Dianna Agron, Jessica Alba, Katy Perry
Many retailers have jumped on this bandwagon


Abercrombie & Fitch Dawn Top, $38
LC by Lauren Conrad Rosette Top, $27.99
Gilly Hicks Beaconsfield Sweater, $49.50
Modcloth Gardens of Versailles Dress, $119.99

The final trend goes along with the floral direction and is a personal favorite of mine:  Tulip skirts.  The tulip skirt drapes around the hips and cinches in at the natural waist for a flattering, womanly shape.

Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alexis Bledel

Tulip skirts are just beginning to bloom in retailers, but some options are still available to thrifty shoppers.


Modcloth Drape Work of Art Dress, $64.99
Forever 21 Classic Knit Tulip Skirt, $10.80
Chelsea & Violet Polka Dot Tulip Skirt, $78
