Warm weather is on the way and nothing says summer more than a sun dress.  Celebs like Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Miley Cyrus and Jessica Alba are all fans of a flowery, summer dress and this look can really work for you too, with the right accessories. Here are some great accessories that can really create a classic summer look.

Shoes:

A popular look among celebs is the cowboy boots +dress combo.  Wearing boots may have started in Nashville but it has moved out west to Hollywood.  It takes some styling to pull this off and this look may be little bit country but it’s also a little bit rock and roll. Cowboy boots give a classic look summer look to a billowy dress. It is better to go with a simple boot because cowboy boots make a fashion statement all their own.

Try these:

  159.99 Justin Bent Rail Cowboy Boot in Puma Tan from Boot City

Dress:

Select a dress that will hit above the knee.  For the pattern, you can either go with a simple flowery design or a solid color like white. Brighter patterns and colors are a more adventurous look.

Try these:

          29.50 Broomstick Gauze Sundress From Old Navy

       24.50 Boho Dress From American Eagle

Bracelets:

Complete the look with a cuff bracelet and bangles. The cuff bracelets are a really hot style for 2010. 

Try these:

              9.80 Silver Tone Beaded Cuff From Kohl's

         5.80 Embossed Bangle Set From Forever 21

Its the middle of Prom Season! Girls, are you ready? The guys have it easy, they just have to pay for the prom tickets, dinner and rent a tux. No big deal. How hard can it be to rent a tux anyways...

The Dress:

If you haven't found that ideal dress yet check out our blog post from February. Maybe you'll find something you didn't notice earlier. This is my personal favorite – its to die for in purple and looks expensive, though it only costs $25.

The Shoes:

These shoes from Overstock have the look for less at under $40! You'll be able to find a ton of great buys there.

This beautiful cloth shoe has a pleated color ribbon that flows over a simple yet elegant black bow. I promise, this picture doesn't do the shoe any justice:
  

These formal pumps are gorgeous and perfect for prom! With 4 or 5 different colors they'll match almost any dress. The uppers are covered in rhinestones, making them glamorous and a steal!

The Jewelry

This season if you check out the celebs you'll be seeing a lot of hoop earrings. And anyone been following Kristen Stewart's style? Her red carpet appearances have all been in a strapless dress without a necklace. It makes her - and her dress pop even more.

Keep your neckline empty or simple, instead wear a pair of "wow" earrings for prom - like chandelier earrings. For prom, you want the attention to center first on your dress and THEN on your jewelry. Try Zulumoon.com, they have some great earrings (and a huge sale).

I went a bit overboard with the earrings but what can I say? I love to look. The first 3 earrings are made with Marcasite (a type of gem/crystal) set in sterling silver and each is less than $30! The next 3 are made with Cubic Zirconia, also set in sterling silver.

If you click on these earrings, it will take you to their product page.
                         

The End

Hope that helps! You've got plenty to think about when it comes to prom, this should make all that accessorizing a bit simpler.

It may be freezing outside, but that's all the more reason to look forward to warmer weather, days spent sunning by the pool. To help you look forward to sunshine, Forever21 has posted a preview of their swimsuits for the upcoming season! All suits range for around $10-$12, so you can look fabulous without emptying your piggy bank.

Don't you just love when celebs wear something that's actually priced within your budget? Reese Witherspoon was spotted grabbing lunch with a friend in Los Angeles yesterday sporting this Urban Outfitters striped sweater. It's a celebrity fave; it's also been spotted on Ashley Tisdale. Best of all, it retails for only $48! Scoop yours up before they're all gone!

We don't know about you, but aside from Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2010 collection for Chanel, the last time we thought about clogs was during our time abroad in Amsterdam our junior year of college. Before that, it was when we saw the Dutch section of the "It's a Small World After All" ride at Disney World. In short, we don't exactly think of clogs as fashionable - but leave it to Karl to make them so. Lagerfeld sent these golden studded babies down his farm-themed runway for Spring 2010, and of course, there's already a look for less. We know, we know - clogs just aren't au courant - but, ma souers, that's where you're wrong. Once Karl says they're in, they're in. Hence, clogs are going to be all the rage for Spring. Get a great look for less with Jeffrey Campbell's Charli Platform Clog. JC's clogs retail for $178 at Free People, which we're betting is a fraction of the price of the real thing. 

This year for prom, try something new - instead of going long and slinky like everyone else, go short and sweet! There's no need to fork over a load of money for prom, especially when retailers like Fred Flare and Forever21 have a variety of dresses to choose from to fit nearly any budget.

We've spent the past week at the Bryant Park tents in New York watching the Fall 2010 collections stomp down the runways, and already, the trends for next fall/winter are becoming clear. We know, you're looking forward to spring and summer, what do you care about winter? We understand that - but we still feel it's important for every good fashionista to be educated on the trends that are to come. Just like country florals, denim and army detailing will be big for Spring, we've compiled the trends that will be huge come fall.

Like it or not, velvet is going to be huge come fall. It popped up on nearly every single runway in rich shades of burnt oranges, purples, reds and pinks. It made it's way into full length gowns and short party dresses, and showed up everywhere from Alexander Wang to Thuy, Rebecca Taylor to Tibi. Lace and fur were also everywhere, from Dennis Basso to Michael Kors, Thuy to Oscar de la Renta.
