Tribal and global have been two trends that have stuck around over the last few seasons, and now we’re seeing an interesting twist on this trend. Gladiator sandals, which came in style a few years ago but were made even more popular in the U.S. when Sarah Jessica Parker sported a pair of sexy black Christian Dior gladiator sandals in the hit movie “Sex and The City.” Well, maybe we should be thanking Ms. Parker (or her stylist), because the gladiator shoe has brought with it a whole new style all its own: Warrior.  Structured and intricate collars, graphic tribal inspired prints, and earthy textures reminiscent of armor are all part of a growing trend that speaks to the uniforms of warriors past. This trend is not just for the tomboy either! Try this trend in embellished gladiator flats or a black leather mini skirt with a structured top with intricate embellishments inspired by armor (like unique boning, studded details, or layered fabrics in tough patterns). Sterling Silver Jewelry is a fabulous way to accessorize this look. It is such a reflective metal that it is perfect for a rough and tough warrior look. A shield inspired Silver & Gold Ring in sterling silver and 18k gold or a Wide Silver Cuff Bracelet are perfect for warrior attire. An oversized Silver & Gold Pendant will also make the perfect statement piece for this look. Here are some of our favorite pieces that will look wonderfully warrior and perfectly polished:

It’s slowly but surely warming up to spring, and what is more appropriate as the weather gets hotter than bright, bold gold. Sequins were a huge trend last year, and will continue to be a trend through this spring and summer. Designers are using this sparkly trend to their advantage, showing tops, dresses and even leggings in shiny gold sequins.  We’re even seeing pants in gold tones! Shoes and handbags are going metallic as well, and labels such as BCBG and Michael Kors are showing lots of texture in metallic leathers in handbags to keep the look fresh and updated. Along with other accessories, bold gold jewelry is also a must have for spring. Look for pieces that have interesting textures or that move in cool ways.  Try a pair of Gold Circle Earrings with a black strapless dress and heels and you’ll look red carpet ready in no time at all. Or for a more summery look, try mixing a white sundress with gold jewelry and sandals for an exotic-resort style.  A gold Dangle Necklace or Gold Bangle Bracelet are more subtle options that work well if you are wanting to try out this golden trend without looking like someone out of an Austin Powers’ movie. We love these glittery gold goodies:

 In a man’s world, we’d all be running around in our delicates. Well, I suppose it is a man’s world now as far as fashion goes, as Victoria’s Secret has spilled out from under our clothes and onto the Spring runways. Bralettes and sheer fabrics are the core of sexy this season, and anything under-garment inspired will be hot as outerwear for the hotter months to come. Designers are showing bralette tops layered under sheer fabrics intended to show off these oo-la-la pieces. Designers are also showing off some skin, as nude is the name of the color game when it comes to this trend. Look for pieces in light, flowy fabrics in nude tones like light peaches and pinks. This is a pretty racy trend, so try to look for pieces that are super feminine to make this look a little more demure. Lace is a major trend this year, so if you’re not quite ready to walk down the street in just a lace bra, try a top with corset detailing and wear it with a pair of fitted jeans and heels for an ultra sexy (yet less Madame) look. Accentuate this look with Couture Jewelry pieces like a Pink Sapphire Ring or a Diamond Link Bracelet. Delicate feminine pieces like these are perfect for this sultry trend. A pair of Diamond Flower Earrings might also add some sweetness to this otherwise super sexy look. Wow your significant other with these sweet and sexy Couture Jewelry finds:

Finally, a fashion trend that puts the Blue Man Group on the forefront of the fashion horizon– the world of fashion is singing the blues lately, and not in a bad way. From azure to blue zircon, blue is the hottest color of the season, with denim taking center stage on the blue tour.  Blue hues always can act as a neutral, so bringing in blue as a pop of color makes working this trend as easy as 1, 2, 3! Everything from shoes to bags, and of course, the staple in just about everyone’s wardrobe, jeans. For spring, try a cut off denim short; they’re back in style and hotter than ever! Denim heels or sandals with a brightly colored dress are also a fun way to add casual denim to an otherwise dressy look.  Chambray is also hugely hot this spring, so wear it however you want! A chambray dress with sweet ballet flats has a classic all American appeal. To accessorize denim or blue in general, here are two tips: First, pearls always look tasteful and elegant with denim. Try a Multi Strand Pearl Necklace or a pair of Akoya Pearl Earrings with a chambray shirt or denim dress. The second rule here is this: complementary colors can be some of the best accent pieces you can find. For blue, that means anything orange. Rock a Yellow Gold Citrine Ring in shades of yellow and orange. It will pop against a blue background! We heart these denim friendly pieces:

We all remember the favorite children’s story Alice in Wonderland. Tim Burton’s non-animated version’s release date is March 5^th, and this movie classic has been inspiring designers in the fashion world . We’ve been seeing a mass of whimsy in fashion as we move closer to spring. Ultra colorful prints in an array of styles are being shown in lady-like (or, in this case, Alice-like) silhouettes.  Flat Mary Janes are also becoming somewhat of a sweet and girly trend as well. And along with the darling A-line dresses and intricately embroidered cardigans comes whimsical jewelry. Look for pieces that have a demure and girly touch, as you don’t want to overwhelm an already loud outfit. Try pairing a brightly colored printed dress in a classic style with flats and a cardigan. If you really want to make your look especially whimsical, try a printed cardigan with your printed dress. Just keep within the same color palette and make sure one print is significantly bigger than the other  so that the prints do not overwhelm each other. A sweet Diamond Bow Necklace or a Pink Sapphire Ring are lady-like ways to accent this funky look. A charm bracelet is also a great way to accessorize an Alice worthy ensemble! Try a Tahitian Pearl Bracelet in a rolo link style, and then add your own charms to really make it a one-of-a-kind (after all, that’s truly what this style is all about!)! These pieces are sure to take your fashion sense right down the rabbit hole:

The ‘80s have made a serious comeback in the past year, and with the neon and spandex also comes a favorite trend of the big-hair decade: floral. Pretty flowers are here for spring, and they are springing up on just about everything. Everything from skinny jeans to mini skirts are being decorated in delightfully girly hues with both small and large floral prints. To work this look the right way, make sure that you just don’t go too literally ‘80s. Instead of breaking out truly ‘80s attire and going fully on floral leggings, try fresher takes floral prints. Digital prints (meaning ones that look computer or digitally inspired) are popping up on everything, and are a super fresh way to update a floral print. Also, mixing flowers with other fun prints is a great way to keep it fresh (just make sure to stay within one color scheme). If going head to toe in floral garb is a little too fairy princess for you, try just doing it with your accessories, since jewelry is along for the ride through the floral fashion meadows as well.  Try a classic A-line dress in a springy color like bright pink, green, purple or yellow, and then add accessories like a Diamond Flower Ring or Diamond Flower Earrings. Think about pieces that will add to the trend without making you look like you were delivered from 1-800-Flowers. If you want to add some color or sophistication, pearls are a great way to add to this look . Try an exotic Tahitian Pearl Earrings with an aster like detail to add a touch of glamour to your look. We love these sparkly spring pieces:

Spring couture produces many trends, and a top one we love right now is tribal. Sport anything you might take on a safari this spring and you’ll look like you stepped right out of Vogue. Starting with footwear, extra strappy sandals, whether platform, stiletto or flat, in different tribal inspired colors, patterns and textures will be at the top of the fashion food chain this spring.  Super bright reds or yellows are perfect accents for this trend. Along with that, tribal prints in luxe fabrics will be draped across every fashionista’s shoulders. This exotic look also lends itself to cargo pants and shirts, along with army prints and khaki galore! Look for pieces that mix mediums like silk and cotton or leather with faux fur detailing (leopard will be especially hot this season). As far as accessories are concerned, look for pieces that have unique textures and that feel global. Try an oversized Silver and Gold Pendant with a funky print or pattern. Statement pieces are still a fashion must! Diamond Hoop Earrings that are matte finished or intricately textured are a great everyday staple, as well as being perfectly on trend. A Sterling Silver and Gold Ring that resembles an old bottle top or maybe looks like you picked it up an eastern bazaar also embodies all that is the tribal trend. Here are some of our picks for pieces that you should take on your next African safari or getaway:

We don’t usually think of a “country” look as contemporary. Of course, the classics are there—tan leather, denim, and of course, fabulous turquoise and sterling silver. But these days country is more than just where the cows roam, it’s where the trends are! Already-worn-in denim, tan leather, and eyelet dresses aren’t just for cowgirls, as we are seeing country go couture this spring. Western wear is a rotating classic—it may not always be in style, but it will always come back. Try a chambray shirt with a floral skirt for a fun twist on this look. Or make an old pair of jeans new again —here’s how: Wash a pair of old jeans in hot water with one box of tan colored Rit Dye. Rinse the jeans and dry. Once dry, use a dremel tool (you can usually fine one somewhere between $15-30) and run it along the edges of seams, on the knees, or wherever you want the denim to look worn. Ta-da—Brand-new vintage jeans! If you like the idea of country, but don’t want to look like you just stepped off the farm, try wearing cowboy boots with skinny jeans tucked in and a cute top. Accessorize this look with bold sterling silver jewelry, like a Wide Silver Cuff Bracelet or a two-tone Women’s Silver Bracelet with floral detail.  A two tone Green Quart & Diamond Ring with twisted rope detail also has a design Couture Jewelry feel that keeps things country with a sophisticated slant. Here are some of our favorites for cool country gear:

For all those who remember (and adored) the summer of love and the swingin’ ‘60s, you are in luck—the 1960s are making some strong headway in the fashion world, and that means everything flower power is coming back with a vengeance. The bohemian trend that has been teetering on the edge of fashion for the past decade is ready to explode onto the scene. We are already seeing how popular the peace sign is, as it is being worn by celebs big and small. And with trends like the maxi dress and the messenger bag having gained momentum over the past few years, it is only a matter of minutes before the decade that brought us a love of paisley returns. To get on board this love train, look for Contemporary Jewelry like a Sterling Silver Peace Sign Necklace or a Peace Sign Ring in silver or gold. Floral jewelry will also a big hit among the hippie crowd of 2010, so try something like a Silver Cuff Bracelet with floral details . The key to making the boho look work is to keep things light and easy. Here is a helpful hint: If the piece doesn’t feel appropriate to take on a day hike, don’t pair it with a boho outfit (I’m only half kidding). Here are some peaceful pieces that will turn you toward the flower power yet:

Here’s a trend you can feel good about! From apples to zippers, anything and everything is becoming earth friendly these days, and due to the advantages this green trend can bring, it doesn’t look like it will be just a trend for long. Huge organic chain stores like Whole Foods are becoming more and more popular as more and more shoppers go green. Clothing companies are finding more green ways to produce clothes as well. The earth friendly trend is also translating into fashion itself, and we are seeing a lot of materials and patterns that are earth inspired. Flowers, plants and even just the color green will be on skirts, dresses, bags and shoes this spring and summer. Look for clothes in materials like linen and organic cotton with whimsical earthy prints that incorporate things like trees and birds (a lot of dyes being used are also earth friendly).  And as for haute Couture Jewelry, you can bet that we will be seeing a green trend there, too. Keep an eye out for Couture Jewelry like a pair of  Diamond Flower Earrings or a Rutilated Quartz Ring. Rutilated quartz feels so organic and no two pieces are ever identical! Pearls are also a great way to work in the green factor. Anything looks more organic when it is abstract, so try something like a Multi Color Pearl Bracelet with baroque pearls. Here are some gorgeous green-inspired pieces that are sure to make you look like an earth goddess:
