I never tire of the navy and nautical inspired apparel that resurfaces in many pre-spring and resort collections each year. My navy addiction is almost as bad as my addiction to black clothing items, but don’t worry about me- my credit cards will just be hibernating until Punxsutawney Phil gives word that spring (with its new color palettes) are upon us.

The best part is these nautical items can be integrated with your winter essentials like blazers and bulky cardigans that can’t be stored away just yet. You can freshen up navy pieces by mixing them with black staple items (no longer the fashion sin from your mother’s generation.) For a taste of spring, add a pop of color to your navy clothing (think kelly-green, turquoise or vermillion) with your accessories.

Time to channel our inner Madonna and Courtney Love because intimate-wear has hit the runways and this time it isn't anything to be hidden. Spring 2010 proves to be anything but intimate with revealing scalloped-lace camis, structured bustiers, and everything sheer.

Christian Dior, Dolce and Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and more were all caught with their clothes off on this seasons runways and has us pulling off the layers for Spring.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that lately I have found myself squinting to read words in the distance, but I am infatuated with glasses. Until I bite the bullet and make an appointment with the optometrist, I plan on checking out a few funky faux, or affordable vintage options to see what suits my face shape.

And no, I don’t think I will be testing out the "Sarah Palin".

If you are a Midwesterner then you know that winters can be akin to a hit with an ugly stick, and autumn isn’t much better. Everywhere you look you see UGGS (which might I add, were originally designed to be worn in hot sand,) everyone's heads are in a permanent state of matted-down hat hair, and we sometimes give off a paler glare than the snow.

Thus the transition from fall to winter-wear begins. What better time to adorn yourself with whimsical, unique and cozy accessories? Lately, I have been digging the knitted and crocheted necklaces that have been popping-up everywhere. I have spotted options on Etsy, on the cover of LOVE magazine, during MN Fall Fashion week and more.

So, in-between finding the perfect self-tanner for your winter glow, and adding a new hat to your growing collection, be sure to check out some of these accessories options. They should have you knitting or crocheting your way into a more attractive season.

Toss out those animal prints and throw on some prints of animals! Christopher Kane roars in this Fall season with his large baboon prints on tees and dresses and has style editors, on the streets of Paris Fashion Week, and celebs such as Rihanna going wild.
