Spring has hardly sprung, and already my spring outfit count is on the rise. In the past month, I have made hundreds of outfits for my clients, ranging from casual, to professional, to dressy. With such a busy season under way, I am left wondering, "When am I going to find time to dress myself for spring?" Before you worry too much about me, let me reassure you that I have never been one to choose much over fashion, and I am sure I will find the time to fine-tune my wardrobe, even if it means working into the wee hours of the night.  Sleep can wait, fashion comes first!

While I know that I am in the minority when it comes to loving fashion more than, well a lot of other things, I don't expect others (including my clients) to stay up all night putting together their outfits. If you haven't made your appointment for a spring wardrobe overhaul (or at least a spring wardrobe remix), now is the time. My appointments are booked a month out, and I want to make sure that you don't miss out on your opportunity to look fabulous this spring!

For your enjoyment, here are some samplers from my spring wardrobe creations. Don't you want your outfits to be this fabulous this spring? Call or email me asap to reserve your spot on my calendar!

Well, the big night has come and gone, and I'm left thinking how brightly many of the stars shown, and how, well, others didn't. Here is a quick review for my best and worst dressed of the evening.

Best Dressed: Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth stole the show in her wispy, blue gown. She was 100% on trend, wearing the hottest color of the season in ruffles and frills that are spring 2010 inspired. The shape of the gown showed off her beautiful shape, and her earrings and clutch complemented her and the outfit effortlessly.

Worst Dressed: Katheryn Bigelow (won the Oscar for Directing)

Fashion may not be her thing (directing sure is, way to go girl!), but Katheryn needs to hire a stylist that has her back. Her dress was dated, reminding me of a 1990's prom look, it was way too tight with drag lines around the hips and waist, the color washed her out, and she wasn't properly accessorized. All the other starlets at least wore a brillant bracelet or earrings. Katheryn only worn diamond studs, leaving much to be desired, frosting-wise.

Just as any great pastry chef understands the importance of decorating their masterpieces, as a wardrobe consultant, I know that my clients are not truly dressed until they have added their frosting. Of course, by frosting, I mean accessories; all those little baubles that complete an outfit. Like a cake missing its topping, your outfit sans accessories may be nice, but it will not be a wonderfully delicious visual experience.

If you have not taken the plunge into the world of accessories, spring 2010 is the perfect season to identify your favorite flavor of frosting. Begin by purchasing a few of the top accessory trends for the season. Read below for a "how to" on wearing my top two frosting picks this spring.

Floral Jewelry: This trend is perfect for bringing out the romantic in all of us. Keep your outfit simple by pairing ankle pants or shorts with a solid top. Then pump up your wow factor by adding a flirty, floral necklace (see picture).

High Impact Gemstones: Think dramatic bangles dripping in gemstones and stacked halfway up your am. If you prefer a little less drama, opt for a single cuff in an assortment of colored jewels (see picture). Contrast your statement gemstones with a soft floral blouse or skirt.

If you need help selecting your spring frosting, don't hesitate to give me a call! I will teach you the ends and outs of adding the finishing touches to any ensemble. Just remember that when it comes to getting dressed, skipping the frosting isn't an option.
