Shopping list for spring: rich, intricate detail... awesome, rare colors... silky, light fabric...

It feels like a new year really begins at spring. Who better than Audrey Hepburn to look for inspiration during a wardrobe change?

All of these photos are recent--from 2007 except the one of Nora Zehetner. I get alot of inspiration from models' style as you can see. Because of their job, all of their outfits are comfortable and effortless. But obviously always stylish and just beautiful! They have an eye for unique pieces as well.

If you've watched How to Steal a Million (1966) with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole, you know what I mean when I say "togetherness".

I've been looking through the Spring 2007 runway show photos at style.com and I see alot of inspiration from the 20s and the 70s. I am definitely not one to be obsessed with trends. I prefer to find what fits me and my personality but I'll hear about the trends and take them if I like them. Such as satin is the fabric to have for spring 2007--I like that (very 20s by the way). And then these long 70s-inspired dresses with billowly sleevse have appeared on the runway.

Photos from the past...

Just made this, it's sloppy but oh well.

Here's some of my cut-outs from magazines:

I've taken an interest in skirts starting yesterday. Skirts. (I'm not talking about the denim mini which everyone knows who to wear.) Hardly anyone wears them anymore. Everyone is either wearing a dress or skinny jeans. Wear a skirt, and you'll pretty much instantly stand out.

Skirts are harder to style though. And your outfit will probably cost more compared to a dress outfit. But knee-length skirt or floor-length, you can put together a comfortable and chic outfit. To wear a skirt casually, you can follow the lead of Kirsten Dunst and Keira Knightley and just wear a casual tee on top. (See photo collage below.) For a dressier occasion, find a stand-out skirt and pair it with a relatively plain neutral-colored top (see Chloe Sevigny and Rachel Bilson). Funk it up with a bright pair of flats (Mischa Barton and Mary-Kate Olsen) or add a cute, vintage purse (Zooey Deschanel). Feel free to define your waist more by adding a belt like Selma Blair, Kirsten Dunst, and Rachel Bilson. However you decide to put together your outfit, have fun with it and feel unique!
