It's all on the shoulders. There's a new look these days giving your shoulders the focus. Puffy shoulders are back in fashion. Reminiscent of the 1980's exaggerated proportions on the shoulders are making a come-back. After several seasons of well-defined waists, the new silhouette creates a strong, powerful and confident look. Wear this look to sport the latest trend. Find it in varying degrees on the hottest spring and summer dresses.

The sun has come out and so has the colorful and bold prints to warm the season. Now is the time to play with color. Designers have gone all out for Spring 2009. A combination of yellow and hot pink brightens a long strapless dress. A dynamic graphic print flows across a handkerchief slip while a garden of rich florals makes the perfect spring maxi dress for all.

A touch of translucence infuses soft elegance into this spring's dresses. Designers played with sheer fabrics in unique ways this season. Layers of printed georgette create an artistic palette of color play while white lace subtly peeks through a soft black skirt. There are also the classic see-through sleeves and overlays exposing just the right amount of lovely skin.

Call it fuchsia, magenta or cerise, pink is the hot color this spring! The always cheerful shade brightens up a cute jacket or adds a sweet punch as a trim on a black and white dress. Of course you can go all out and flaunt that full on pretty in pink strapless for a perfect spring day.

After a bundled up season of winter wear, nothing feels better than slipping into something simple and easy and free! Let loose in bohemian chic dresses for spring. Silhouettes are still loose, but are slight more refined for a slimmer slouchy shape. Colors are soft, earthy and bright so there is a shade for everyone. Don't forget a great pair of leather sandals for the finishing boho touch.

It is amazing how two colors work beautifully together in any season of the year. Yes, the forever classics black and white are ready for spring again! Look for playful yet chic stripes or the never-ending options of elegant prints. Go bold with a solid blocking combination to make the perfect little black/white dress.

Pure and simple, white makes a flawless fashion statement for every occasion. The classic white wedding calls for a decadent gown with flowing layers of purity. A simple white slip with a little sparkle makes a perfect dress for your destination beach wedding. And when a big day calls for some simplicity, layer this traditional color under your graduation gown. The little black dress can always be the little white dress for a night out on the town. A trendy one shoulder frock will look effortlessly chic on that first date. And don't forget white for everyday- a sweet strapless with fresh detailing or an uncomplicated shift makes a youthful statement anytime.

The dress has some competition this spring. The new must have all-in-one is the uncomplicated jumpsuit. Effortlessly chic, the romper looks sweet as shorts and sexy in a pant. This leg-accentuating silhouette works with a great pair of wedges for day and fantastic heels for a night on the town. Keep the accessories simple with a belt or a long necklace for the perfect finishing touch.
