I might be jumping the gun a bit to already be blogging about tank tops, but the weather is so beautiful today, I am feeling the need to feature some adorable designer tanks designed by Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea’s vivid patterns are a signature look at any time of the year but especially spring/summer these bold colors will help any gal stand out- in the best kind of way.

Sleeveless Front Tie Top by Sweet Pea
This Sleeveless Front Tie Top is adorable and the cut is really flattering on everyone. I also really love this print- it is a dark navy background. The neck ties make it fully adjustable and allows you to decide how to adjust the neckline. As always this top is in Sweet Pea’s trademark mesh-nylon.
This solid blue 4-Tier Ruffle Tank by Sweet Pea is favorite of mine. While sweet pea mostly designs bold prints, this tank comes in solid blue (rain) or fuschia (cranapple). I love how the 4-tiered ruffles makes this tank simple but trendy and feminine. This tank is a perfect to stand alone piece but also looks great paired with a cardigan (see below).

Laurie ‘B.’s Puffsleeve Cardigan Sweater is one of my must have cardigans. And I love the look of Sweet Pea’s Tank with it. Find great designer tanks from Sweet Pea and other designers at Vintage Fringe!!

This is about the time of year when I dump my coat and jacket and start wearing the cardigan. A cardigan is a versatile addition to your fashion wardrobe. A cardigan can be worn with jeans, pants, skirts, dresses or almost any garment. Designer Cardigans will be a great addition to your wardrobe for both the cardigan’s versatility and those added designer details that make your clothes stand apart from your friend’s clothes. Below are some of my favorite cardigans for spring.

- Ella Moss Miley Striped Cardigan
I love love love the bold colors of this cardigan. Ella Moss designed this cardigan in Candy Apple (red) with with blue and yellow stitch detail or in Admiral (blue) with red, white, and yellow stitched detail. This Miley Cardigan is cropped and features a button top. Below is a picture of the detail in the back of this cardigan in Admiral (blue).

Another cardigan I can’t get enough of is the the Gable Stripe Cardigan designe by renowned knit designer Laurie B.

- Laurie B. Stripe Zipper Cardigan
I love to wear this Gable Stripe Cardigan on its ow as a top or as a cardigan with a black dress or black top. You essentially get two great looks in one top! As always designer Laurie B.’s taste is immpecable.

- Joy Joy Heart Button Cardigan
I love this Heart Button Cardigan for all it’s adorable little details. Joy Joy designed this cardigan in black, yellow (picture above), green, and hot pink. I love the adorable heart buttons and the perfect elbow length in the sleeves.

As things finally start to warm up outside, I thought I would finally do a blog about some of my favorite tops and designers that I am wearing these days to look fashionable in this transitional weather. I love layering and since it is still a little too cold to wear tanks and short sleeves in Colorado I have found this tank works great over a basic long sleeve scoop neck.

Tie Tank by La Bafana
This tie tank is perfect for layering or wearing alone. I also love its sister tank which is the same style, but with an adorable polka dot pattern.

La Befana Polka Dot Tie Tank

Hampton Widesleeve Scoop Neck by Ella Moss
I’ve been wearing this Hampton widesleeve scoop neck top by Ella Moss with jeans all over the place lately. The scoop neck with the empire waist tie allows this top to be loose but also flattering at the same time. I also love this deep crimson color. I tend to pair this top with Splendid’s Very Light Jersey Draped Cardigan in white.

Splendid's Very Lighe Jersey Draped Cardigan in Coffee
This jersey cardigan comes in coffee (brown), white, black, and parsley (green). It is super comfortable and perfect to add a little extra warmth on a chilly spring night.
These are just some of my favorite tops lately, you can see these tops and more at Vintage Fringe.

Ella Moss clothes can be described as hip, quirky and fashionable. But my favorite thing about this clothing line is that the pieces are so comfortable! They are as stylish as ever, yet feel like you are wearing your favorite old t-shirt. I also appreciate how versatile these clothes are, they can easily go from day to night depending on what you pair them with. Here are a few of my favorite pieces, starting with this ultra flattering
Costa Puffsleeve V Neck. The draping at the bust line looks elegant and stylish, this would be great with white jeans and embellished flats for summer.

Ella Moss Costa Puffsleeve V Neck
Right on target with the nautical trend, Ella Moss’s Melbourne line is chic, comfortable and features wide stripes in a variety of colors. I particularly like the
Melbourne Puffsleeve Front Tie Top, the oatmeal color is great and the v neck in front and back add great detail to this slouchy top. It could be paired nicely with just about any color and dressed up with dark denim and heels or dressed down with cute cut offs and sandals.

The last Ella Moss top I want to highlight is this light and breezy Jocelyn Puffsleeve Boatneck Top. I love the bright color {this beauty is also available in Lemonade aka yellow, which is fab!} and the gathered cuff, collar, and hem which make this shirt all the more flattering and forgiving for those of us without the picture perfect body shape. This shirt could easily do double duty this summer as a swim cover up, and because of the fun print you don’t need loads of accessories. {Although I have always been one to do a bit more rather then a bit less when it comes to accessories!}

All of these tops and more Ella Moss beauties are available at Vintage Fringe, go check it out and tell me your fav!

Whoever thought sweaters were out for spring was certainly wrong!!! Short sleeved sweaters are a perfect must have for this time of year. Especially on those days that seem to be warm, but could easily turn cooler. This time of year I find is perfect for short sleeved knitwear.

Look Perfect for Spring in Sweet Pea's 4 Tiered Ruffled Tank and The Rumba Puffsleeve Sweater by Laurie B
Laurie ‘B.’s Puffsleeve Cardigan Sweater is one of my must have cardigans. I love how this cardigan sweater snaps closed for one kind of look, but can also be worn unsnapped as a cardigan. The puff sleeves and pocket detail sets this cardigan sweater apart from any of your friends clothing. Available in Grey or Black this sweater is perfect for layering this spring.

Laurie B.'s Venice Keyhole Sweater
This short sleeve sweater with it’s traditional design with a few modern “fringe” details is the perfect sweater for spring. The front features flared sleeves and a traditional cut, while the back has a unique and subtle double keyhole detail. Laurie B.’s Venice Keyhole sweater looks great for work or play and is available in purple and ivory.
Whether you are going for a spring walk or walking into work, these short sleeve sweaters will keep you just warm enough without looking too wintry. For these and other knitwear designs perfect for spring, just visit www.vintagefringe.com.

Whether it’s chartreuse, jade, emerald, or lime, green seems to be my favorite color for spring.

Velvet's Martha Boatneck Tunic Dress is Perfect for Spring
This tunic dress designed by Velvet is a great choice for spring. Pair it with legging, jeans or wear it as a dress and you have an adorable look for spring. This green color also pairs perfectly with blue, denim, red, or yellow so don’t be afraid to spotlight more than one color this spring.

Splendid's 1x1 buttonup long sleeve shirt
This long sleeve top made of the softest supima cotton is so versatile you can really pair it with anything. I love to wear it buttoned down with a cami underneath. I love how Splendid designed this top with a layering effect that makes this shirt unique from any other long sleeve shirt you have in your closet.

Splendid's Baby Fleece Hoodie
Also designed by Splendid this Tie Waist Hoodie is perfect for spring and summer. Featuring an empire waist and a hoodie this top/dress is great to style for any occasion.

Daree Widesleeved Boatneck by Velvet
This boatneck top is one of my favorite tops in my closet right now. I love how Velvet found the perfect shade of green that looks great with every color. Seen here accesorized with a yellow belt, I wear this top with a red belt,dark jeans, and red shoes. I have often worn this shirt with a long sleeve underneath and it still looks adorable. Grab this top and any of the other green tops I’ve featured at: VintageFringe.com

Sweet Pea's Sleeveless Front Tie Tank
Life is sweet for Sweet Pea’s designer and brainchild Stacy Frati. This Miami based designer launched her first mesh top over 10 years ago because she felt “there was a void in the market for something very beautiful that could just be a day-into-night style blouse.” Few knew then that Staci’s nylon mesh line she titled “Sweet Pea” would become a landmark of feminine vintage-inspired clothing that could “fly by night”.

It's easy to go from day to night in this short sleeve v-neck by Sweet Pea
At Vintage Fringe we love how Sweet Pea designs can be worn not only in the boardroom with a suit but also on the beach with sandals. Sweet Pea has also crafted its own niche with very feminine and flirty prints and designs that also have that Miami-inspired bohemian vibe as well. The center of Sweet Pea’s trademark look is the nylon mesh fabric that transcends seasons as well as easily slipping from day to night. At Vintage Fringe we love Sweet Pea for it’s bold colors and vibrant prints. Pick your Sweet Pea designs at Vintage Fringe and get in gear for spring.

Fashion Trends were not hard to spot last week in New York at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. New York’s Bryant Park hosted the Mercedes-Benz Fashion week for the last time. The every popular semi-annual fashion event will now move to Lincoln Center starting with September 2010. As usual Hollywood’s royalty found front row tickets to admire the couture fashions and be seen and heard. From my observance there were three major trends to this past week’s events: texture, color, and celebrity.
Texture

From fur to textured material to knitwear texture was all over the place last week.

Color
While black and grey are always the most popular colors some other colors made their mark: orange, red and purple notably

Celebrities:
As always Celebs and other Hollywood types flock to New York to take in the couture and get photographed while doing it. At many shows it was young hollywood versus old hollywood. Which celebrity do you think looked the most fashionable at fashion week?
