Spring 2011 is filled with flirty variations of lilac- the warm weather answer the deep jewel tones that we couldn’t wear enough of through all the snow and sleet. I’m particularly fond of strongly contrasting hues like lilac on black, white, or yellow. This dress from Maison features draping details that flatter most body types (draping can conceal tummies and highlight gorgeous shoulders). <3

It’s over 50 degrees here in NYC, so I was pretty excited to head up to Polished Beauty Bar on the Upper West Side yesterday for a fresh coat of the season’s hottest hue (which was also totally healthy because they don’t use any chemicals in their manicures):
