Don't know whether to go for the skinny jean look or the wide-legged flairs of the moment? Either style works, but curvy figures find the best fit in boot-cut or wide-leg trousers, while slimmer frames feel their best in straight-legged or skinny jeans.

There comes a time in every season where a girl needs to buckle down, realize what she needs to break out the Benjamins for and choose her go-to shoe.

My go-to shoe inevitably ends up in the wedge category of any given e-commerce site and I'll give you the simple reason why - girl can walk miles in them. 4 inches? Yup. 5 inches? No problem.

We've covered polka dots and the floral print. As we continue this week's coverage of spring's hottest trends, we're moving on to a very prominent material that has not only dominated the past 2-3 seasons but also shows no sign of cooling down any time soon - leather. It's been all over the runways, the red carpet and the stylish streets of New York, L.A, Milan, London and Paris and from the view of things at the most recent Fall 2011 shows, it is most definitely here to stay. It started with black and brown and then interesting shades of red and green...it was only a matter of time for the season's hottest material to merge with it's hottest shades. You can now find your leather in pastel colors like tan, blush and light gray. It's the perfect soft, feminine look with an edge.
