Makeup by Sherri Morris of Brushworx Hair by Sheree Manzanares of The Last Tangle Salon Models from Cast Images Furniture and home accessories courtesy of Room & Company Spring is a time for renewal-both of your spirit and your wardrobe. Here are eight looks for spring that capture the playfulness of the season along with the hottest trends. 1. TREND: Easy. This season sees the return of great fabrics, such as jersey and cotton knitwear, which complement a woman's curves. Elegant, sophisticated, the cuts are lean and uncomplicated-and never go out of style. -Bronze dress by Sky, $130, from Krazy Mary's Boutique. Oyster-shell earrings by Beyond Gotham, $12.99; bronze and brown animal-print handbag by Beyond Gotham, $46.99; from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: "Nob" by Franco Sarto, $79, from Shoefly. 2. TREND: The Dress-any style, so long as you keep the silhouette demure. The Dress should be the No. 1 item on your list this spring, along with that long necklace. -Black and white polka-dot dress by Nanette Lepore, $295, from Blush Boutique. Pearl opera necklace, 48-inches, by Beyond Gotham, $18.99; polka-dot bandana watch with crystal face by Beyond Gotham, $42.99; white "Greta Garbo" handbag by Beyond Gotham, $54; from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: "Goose" by Franco Sarto, $79, from Shoefly. 3.TREND: If you are going for color this spring, make sure to keep it subdued and natural. Subtle, romantic tones of yellow, apricot and baby blue put just the right spring in your step. -Lemon-yellow tube top by Trina Turk, $176; cashmere cardigan by Vince, $220; lemon-colored trousers by Trina Turk, $198; from barby k boutique. Flower-petal earrings by Beyond Gotham, $16.99; handcrafted silver bangle bracelet by Beyond Gotham, $18.99; from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: "Miami" by Bernardo, $85, from Shoefly. 4. TREND: The Belt is back. Except it's not slouchy around the waist anymore; it's still wide, but fits firmly around the waist. So go ahead and show off that sexy silhouette-isn't that why you work out so hard? -Aqua knit tank by Parkvogel, $46; multicolored capped-sleeve silk top by Development, $185; khaki embroidered pants by Burning Torch, $290; brown leather belt by Milly, $69; from Blush Boutique. Oyster-shell earrings by Beyond Gotham, $14.99; Victorian-style bracelet with Swarovski crystal and green and blue coral by Beyond Gotham, $16.99; from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: Biviel, style 312, $135, from Shoefly. 5. TREND: Cropped-keep trouser lengths short to show off great shoes! The less structured the pants, the better. -White embellished tank by Krista Miller, $64; denim overalls by Voom, $196; navy cardigan by Free People, $78; Krazy Mary's Boutique. Shoes: "Courtney" by Fornarina, $119, from Shoefly. 6. TREND: White is the color-or noncolor-of the season. From structured to draped and loose, make white your new black. -White rayon tank by Ya Ya, $109; black trousers by Trina Turk, $190; from barby k boutique. Mother-of-pearl bracelets by Beyond Gotham, $13.99 each; black leather handbag with white trim by Beyond Gotham, $48.99; from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: Fornarina, style 316, $119, from Shoefly. 7. TREND: Shorts couldn't be hotter this season. Any length will do, but the shorter the better. -Apricot beaded camisole by How & Wen, $245; pinstripe shirtdress by Alice + Olivia, $310; gold cuffed shorts by Alice + Olivia, $195; from Blush Boutique. Bohemian-style earrings with handblown Czech glass by Beyond Gotham, $21.99, from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: "Sibil" by Via Spiga, $169, from Shoefly. 8. TREND: Rock on! There is still a hint of a rebellious edge, but think street chic-not punk funk. -Double-breasted jacket by Fornarina, $106; white tank by Michael Stars, $44; cuffed denim straight-leg jeans by tag jeans, $210; from Dara Denim. Leather belt by Brave Leather, $67, from Krazy Mary's Boutique. Handmade embossed leather bangle by Beyond Gotham, $18.99, from Beyond Gotham. Shoes: Biviel, style 239, $118, from Shoefly.
