Wild Woman: Spring Safari Trend

Wild Woman: Safari Chic

'Safari Chic' is a one of Spring 2008's leading trends. The safari trend is nothing new but this season there is definitely a new spin on it. The look isn't as rugged and boxy as it has been in past seasons. In 2008 more structured cargo pieces are being paired with draped pieces to soften the look. Some of my favorite pieces for spring come from some of the hottest contemporary designers around:

3.1 Phillip Lim Oversized safari cardigan
The safari look is hot for spring 08 and this cardigan is perfect if you only wanted to buy one piece for this trend. Wear it with a dress, or wear it as a dress. I bet this cardigan would look good over jeans or even gray pants.

Tom Ford Aviator sunglasses

When I think about safari I think about aviators and when I think about chic I think Tom Ford. Put them all together and what do you got? Yep, you guessed it 'Safari Chic.'

Maison Martin Margiela Bamboo knitted long cardigan
This bamboo cardigan is pretty freaking sweet. Every wardrobe needs a new go-to comfy sweater each spring for those chilly nights.

Helmut Lang Draped racer tank top
The safari trend used to be all brown and khaki but this spring 2008 season gray has been added into the mix. I love the idea of mixing this draped piece with a more structured cargo jacket.

Alice + Olivia Sequin Panel Tank Dress
This is an example of a safari looks that is much more fun. Alice + Olivia have added their signature sequins to this khaki pocket dress.

Dolce & Gabbana Safari Shorts

You can't go on a safari without fashionable shorts. I love these from Dolce & Gabbana they will stay stylish for years and years to come.

Dress of the Day: BCBG Max Azria Poplin Pouf

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

bcbg max azria poplin poufGirls, it is week two of the new year. Do you know where your waistline is?

So maybe that new "diet" that you've been following as a new year's resolution hasn't quite kicked in yet. Well, did you expect to regain that hourglass figure in a matter of days? Not to worry! Since it is technically still Fall/Winter, we can take advantange of what has been a hot silhouette in dresses: high waistlines. We love any dress with an empire waist that lets us breathe around the middle, and we love the gathered, empire waist and full skirt of the babydoll for its figure forgiveness even more. We'll be looking at these all week!

Though BCBG Max Azria's Poplin Pouf Dress isn't exactly a babydoll dress, it does feature the high, empire waist that not only has a self-tie, but is elasticized, even though it narrows into a sleek pencil skirt. The sleeves are ¾-length with a dramatic pouf.

The dress is $180 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
