Chris Benz, Proenza Schouler, DVF (obvs), Rodarte, Suno, and so many more seemed to have an inkling that Spring would be all about the unexpected print. After seasons of so much minimal, and neutral upon neutral pairings, it feels like a bit of a renewal to add a pattern (shouldn't Spring do that anyway?).

There are certain types of foods that we all know to stay away when we're making that often feeble attempt to lose weight and be healthy. For example, anything that begins with frosted, crispy or dipped is usually off limits. But what about those foods that hide behind labels like low fat, sugar-free and multi-grain? You may think you're making smart, informed decisions, but before you know it, you won't be able to fit into that itty-bitty bathing suit you've already set aside for spring break. To help you out, click through for seven unhealthy foods that you may not know are making you fat.

At this point there's no need to explain the John Galliano/Dior situation, but fashion critics and publications certainly wasted no time putting in their two cents about who should take the helm of the legendary design house. Experts from The New York Times, The Telegraph, The Daily and more have given plenty of predictions as to who should step in as Dior's creative director, and Vogue UK is reporting that bookies in Britain are taking bets about the brand's successor-in case you were wondering, YSL's Stefano Pilati is currently leading the odds.

First Galliano, Then Decarnin: The Price Of Fashion Fame?

The thing that's tricky about filling the position is this: Galliano is famous for his theatricality on the runway, as well as for his abilities as a couturier. The designer who takes over for him not only has to have an incredibly strong creative vision, he or she also must be skilled and well versed in the

Spring is knocking on the door so it's time to put away the winter jackets and bring some flair back into your wardrobe! To cut through the clutter, I've compiled some of Spring's hottest trends and tacked on styling advice for each so you can feel confident in wearing them in the best way that works for you.

Springtime Layering Tips With Converse One Star For Target

1. Prints Please: We're seeing prints everywhere for Spring so if you want in on the trend, just remember that prints are all about proportion. The size of the print matters. If you are petite, large prints will drown your frame; if you're larger, small prints can actually emphasize the size of your frame because of the vast visual contrast. You don't have to be afraid of prints or even mixing them. They don't make you look "bigger". Always look for the most flattering cut and then choose the print. Cut determines body flattery primarily and print is

As if we'd wanted to be spotted next to them on any beach anywhere, I asked some of the prettiest girls in the world what their Spring Break plans are at the SoHo Victoria's Secret Store last night. Lily, Erin, Adriana, Candice and Chanel were on hand in their most sparkly for the launch of VS's new Incredible fragrance and bra.

Read on for their beach and Paris adventure plans.

Lily Aldridge: I'm going to go to Coachella in California, which I'm really excited about. Arcade fire, and Mumford and Sons, and Empire of the Sun are who I'm really looking forward to.

Erin Heatherton: My friend said she's leaving for Spring Break, I don't even know when Spring Break is anymore that I'm not in school. But, my birthday is March 4, so I'm going to be in Paris and I'm going to celebrate my birthday in Paris, and that should be really fun. I'm really just there to be

With Paris fashion week now upon us, I'm sure many of you have caught yourselves daydreaming about jetting off to the City of Light. While it sounds tempting to drop everything for the land that brought us Balmain, Dior and Chanel, it remains but a fantasy for a working girl entangled in the daily rousing of the city that never sleeps. Wouldn't it be nice to fly to Paris, shop along Avenue Montaigne and walk away adapting the effortless chic French style that women like Emmanuelle Alt and the Roitfelds are born with? While the high-energy, taxi-cab filled streets of NYC are undoubtedly lovable, there's a sense of peace and pleasure only Paris can pull off.

Riddle me this - why is it that most guys I know think an acceptable "date" is a 1 AM drunken encounter at some dive bar on a Saturday night? And if you disagree, then by all means, please feel free to let me know what I'm missing in the comments. This isn't to say that there's no such thing as wooing and romance among twenty somethings, it just isn't necessarily a common occurrence.

So it stands to reason that if dates are such a foreign concept to us, then there's a good chance we'll be totally clueless in the off chance we're ever actually faced with one. But if you are one of the lucky few girls who finds herself on a real life first date - I mean dinner, movies, the whole shebang - here's a little guide for you to figure out if it's going well. Read on for seven signs your date isn't going your way. Because let's face it, no one wants to be that girl who thinks the guy's into them when the reality is he

With all the buzz surrounding Kate Middleton and Prince William's much-anticipated royal nuptials, there has been quite a lot of wedding talk going on lately. Today being March 1 may mean we're finally done with the coldest month of the year, but it's also just another reminder that spring wedding season is right around the corner. Those invitations you received months back - that you definitely stuffed in one of those "I'll get back to you" drawers - don't seem so far away anymore.

Kate Middleton Gets Her Cinderella Moment

Now you have to start stressing about flights, gifts and most importantly, the outfit. But why should the stress be on the guest? Let's face it, weddings are supposed to be stressful for the bride and groom - as the guest, your only job should be making good use out of that open bar and enjoying the free food... yea, I said it! So to make your life that much easier, I've done the
