Spring Trend Highlight!



So, as you all may know, Spring is promptly approaching and we're reeling in a lot of different looks. I've been seeing alot of Ombre dyed pieces, several in the Matthew Williamson Spring/Summer 08 collection and I've also spotted several cloth Marc by Marc Jacobs totes with the Ombre finish. I love Ombre (which is best defined as, colors that gradually intensify from dark to light). I haven't yet mastered the technique, however, I'm quite familiar with it's cousin...Tie dye. I've always been one to experiment, and this past summer I've revamped many of my old T-shirts by tie dying them, just to give them a different look.

Do keep in mind: With tie dyed or ombre dyed pieces, accessories should be minimal.
