No look feels complete without the finishing touches—shoes, handbags, accessories and jewelry. This season delivers standout must-haves like the mini bag, the gladiator sandal, the long pendant and more. The idea is simple: mix and match these accessories with key RTW pieces to create a fresh, effortless spring uniform. With endless options in color, pattern, texture and material, the styling possibilities are wide open. Time to dive in.

Denim is back in a big way—and this season, it’s all about fresh fits, new washes, and updated silhouettes that make getting dressed feel effortless and exciting. With so many options to explore, I created Denim Nation: a go-to destination for finding the denim that feels just right.

Fresh. Modern. Easy to shop. Denim Nation is here to help you explore, experiment and fall in love with denim all over again.

As the weather cools down and new fashion starts to deliver, it's important to hone in on those must have key pieces and trend statements that will elevate your Fall wardrobe. For Fall, 2016, those key RTW pieces included the Poncho, the Peasant Dress, Denim Dressing, Suede, Fringe and Matched Sets. Helping complete those looks were key accessories including the Western Bootie, the East-West Bag and loads of complimentary Statement Jewelry.

When summer arrives, the customer is looking to score fun, easy pieces that are comfortable, yet trend right. Modern Maxi Dresses, Jumpsuits, Botanical Prints, Fringe and Global-Print Swimsuits are just a few of those must have items of the season. The long form static page is the perfect platform to showcase those items, with an easy navigation strategy for clean, fast shopping.

Dresses are top sellers in the digital space and customers are always searching for the perfect dress for every occasion. Thus, the Dress For It Campaign was born. Updating on a quarterly basis, this campaign is comprised of freshly designed emails, digital display ads and a user-friendly sitelet.

The sitelet is the perfect tool for the customer when searching for the latest trends, colors, prints and dress silhouettes of the season. It both educates the customer and curates the assortment based on her needs. For February 2015, the campaign featured popularly searched occasions for this time period including Sunday Brunch, Work, Night Out, Guest of Wedding and Bridesmaid Dresses. 

This spring, the newness in wear to work attire centers around a feminine color palette, accented by watercolor florals, textural fabrics and illustrative prints. Pulling the whole look together is the modern pump and carry-all tote in neutral colorblock tones.

Children are a reflection of their parents, so why should their style be any different? This macro-trend helped influence the launch of this pint size trend report. Jam-packed with style, this experience offers everything from special occasion dressing to outdoor activities to "mini-me" fashion.

The petite fit guide is where fit, function and fashion converge. This user friendly tool will alleviate the frustration of finding that perfect fitting item for all those ladies 5'4" and under! Start with the basics like a great two-button suit jacket or easy capri pant, then layer on the fashion with the perfectly fitting matched set, wide-leg jumpsuit or floral printed soft pant!

With the start of a new year, wedding season is upon us. The customer is on the hunt for the hottest bridesmaids' colors of the season and this year, the leading color is Blush. Complimenting and rounding out the assortment are other light and feminine pastels including canary yellow, sea-inspired blues and beaded silver metallics. Completing the look are fun and flirty accessories including peep-toe satin encrusted pumps, bow-embellished clutches and hints of sparkle in accent jewelry.

Catering to a cross section of lifestyles, occasions and seasonal needs, the Center Core Trend Report always showcases the hottest footwear, handbag and accessories trends of the season. Some of the most popular trends from the fall season included fashion booties, beanies and evening clutches, while spring ushered in newness with bucket bags, jeweled flats and fringe scarves.
