Spring season's - Top Looks


We took to Rhode Islands most stylish boutiques to get the drone on this spring’s must haves. Here are the season’s biggest trends—from retro bohemian to translucent lace, this is what you’ll be wearing this spring.

Eco-Green Style

Love going green. Now anyone can wear the color. Dish Boutique is showing a lot of the Seattle-based natural company, Prairie Underground, pictured in the coat, right. According to the fashion minds at Dish, the evolution colors as we head into spring are earthy, grey and green and the shapes are loose but still keeping some definition. Go for feminine draping in dresses, tops and even fold over pants to look easy but classic.

70s Glamour

Both 70s bohemian and sophisticated glamour are big this spring. Look for elegant blouses and pretty layers that are flowy but slimming for daytime. Mix in some vintage jewelry and testimonial accessories for added color. Celebrities have been showing us this look with Chan Luu wrap bracelets, left, sold at Therapy, Wakefield's fashion hot spot. Also: denim is coming back in big ways with the reemergence of the bell bottom jeans. Go for a high-waisted pair and a peasant blouse for a clean chic look.

Everyone is adoring The Kate Middleton Effect.



When Royal-bride-to-be Kate Middleton steps out, everyone takes notice….
People fight over buying a pair of her earrings, her £650 Burberry trench style coat which sold out within just one day, and her red twinset caused an absolute riot in the shops…

The British Fashion house of Burberry may be the latest designer to revel in the success of the Kate Middleton effect, but the fact is that ever since she appeared on the scene as Prince William’s girlfriend, (while they couple were attending St Andrews University), public interest in the stunning girl has been at times, feverish…

Even back in 2007, the Kate Middelton effect was alive and kicking when she wore a £40 Topshop Tunic for her 25th birthday and it sold out within 24 hours of her being seen in it…

Believe it or not,  that event proved to be a real learning curve for the Royal-bride-to-be, because up until that point, Kate had taken some pretty harsh criticism for her style choices, and was even labled as being rather frumpy.

But all that was soon to change as Kate Middleton ditched her knee-high suede boots, pashminas, cashmere cardigans  and knee-length skirts and dresses that dominated her wardrobe, and in their place came….
Now the girl who was dubbed as ‘frumpy’, has the power to create a fashion frenzy around the world, and often chooses a British designer’s to provide her with a natural blend of patriotic and classic, but at the same time, Kate, isn’t afraid to mix and match affordable high-street fashion, including Reiss ansd Topshop, with her designer labels…

Kate Middleton, with her great looks, figure, and fashion style. Is fast on her way to becoming the most famous woman in the world!

Nicky Hilton and actress Jaime King in same dress for club launch



With the hundreds of different fashion labels these days, it's not often two celebrities are spotted in the same outfits at the same time. But hotel heiress Nicky Hilton and actress Jaime King were left red-faced last night when they both arrived at a French Connection party in identical dresses.

They weren't the only pair wearing the same clothes - Carmen Electra and Brooke Burke were mirror images of each other in their fitted mini dresses. Hilton and King had both opted for a shiny leopard-print mini dresses at the launch of new Hollywood club Lexington Social House.

The pair - who have been friends for years - both teamed their dresses with towering heels, but Hilton gave it a slight twist with a wide black belt. But fortunately they saw the funny side and posed up alongside each other on the red carpet.
