Trend of the Week

We've been seeing a lot of fun colors and prints emerge for Spring, and the Watercolor Print is running rampant all over dresses, tops, handbags, and even jewelry. These dramatic prints make a bold statement, while maintaining a sense of femininity. Here are a few of our favorite picks, one of which will surely make it in to your Spring wardrobe. Don't forget to check out our "Looks of the Week" to see how we worked some of these pieces in to knock-out ensembles.








The mini floral embroidery adds a casual touch to this adorable top, which looks great paired with white denim and a simple necklace. The combination of embroidery and an elaborate pattern makes the top a little “heavy.” Pairing it with neutral pieces makes the top the focal point of the outfit.












Thick brush strokes cascade down this beautiful maxi dress, just as if it was a canvas itself. We just love the flowing chiffon overlay, and how it makes this dress effortlessly elegant. When accessorizing this dress, keep it simple. An understated pair of earrings and metallic flat sandals are all you need to compliment this gorgeous dress.












This sateen bubble top is an alternative take on the watercolor print, with less literal brush strokes of lavender, yellow, and teal. It is perfect to wear tucked-in to a high waisted skirt or with dark skinny jeans. Try wearing it under a fitted blazer, the sharp contrast of textures and colors will add a modern twist to this 80’s inspired print.
