Silk Scarves are the perfect way to dress up a plain outfit. This spring it is important to make sure you are accenting your outfits with bright colors (such as fuchsia, turquoise, orange, green, and yellow). There different ways to tie your scarves, I highly recommend searching for a website that gives provides you with a photo or video tutorial of how to tie your scarves so that you can look picture perfect.

There is no better way to make a fashion statement or protect your eyes from the sun than to wear over-sized sunglasses. Not only do celebrities wear over-sized sunglasses but you will see your best friend wearing them this spring; please do not make the mistake of missing out on this trend. It really does not matter if you purchase high-end or low-end a sunglasses, please remember is to make sure they are in good taste.

Cocktail rings are a great accessory item for going out with friends or a significant other. I do not recommend them for work; however, I would find them appropriate for school for high school or middle school students. All colors and varieties seem to be in fashion, the more elaborate the more fashion forward you will appear.

Necklaces are important to wear for any occasion; this spring plan to wear a variety of necklaces to update your wardrobe. Necklaces seem to really make outfits stand out; it does not really matter if you are out with friends or in a business meeting because necklaces are a must have item for everyone. The one thing everyone must be cautious of is making sure that the necklaces are appropriate for the occasion.

Milan Fashion Week has begun with Elena Miro showing off her 2010-2011 Fall/Winter Collection. Her show drew significant attention due to the models showing off a different look. Apparently, the days of super skinny models are out of style. The fashion industry does not want to encourage models or aspiring models to starve themselves. This show was put together to “help real women to feel confident and at peace with themselves”, Elena Miroglio.
