Painterly Prints jump out and scream 'fabulous.' Spring's collection of painterly prints is not one to be overlooked, with its utilization of an array of different colors, styles and fabrics. From long, flowing gowns to short mod dresses, painterly prints make a name for themselves this spring.
Break-Out Brights intensify and enhance the spring collections. Beautifully bold, these break out brights set one of the spring's most favorable trends. Hues of sunflower yellow, violet purple, tiger lily orange, peony pink and poppy red are exceptionally stylish.
Full, Short Skirts are the canvas designers use to convey for the season's brightest colors and boldest prints, and are the breakout trend of the spring collections. This style is one to elongate and flatter any pair of legs.
Full, Long Skirts are one of Bloomingdale's freshest picks for spring. As diverse as Mother Nature herself, full long skirts can be dressed up or down for any occasion while maintaining a devastating fierceness. Printed as a bold solid, striped, floral, painterly or safari, the season's selection of full long skirts ranges far and wide.
Maxi Dresses, day to night, belted or full and flowing, are Spring's most unstoppable force. A plethora of colors and prints decorate the designs of the season. Perfect for spring, maxi dresses are soft to the touch and unforgettably piercing to the eye.
Mini Dresses or Tunics with jeans, shorts or on their own are perfect for both work and play. Seeking out inspiration from the simple yet fierce and vibrant aspects of spring's blossoming nature, designers touch on the delicate details of spring in order to construct the mini dress or tunic trend.
The Return of the Blazer is here and back with a vengeance. Worn with shorts, skirts or over dresses, the blazer is Spring's biggest return hit. Spring's assortment of blazers provides everyone with a choice that will suit their personal style.
Shorts ensure the coming of the spring and summer seasons as they force our legs to come out of winter hiding, and this season's newest rolled or in color styles have never given us a better reason to do so.
Cardigans: Bold & Bright, Striped or Printed, are no longer to be called 'grandpa sweaters.' These designs are fresh, young and blossoming into one of fashion's most comfortable and accessible trends.
Out of Africa: from Safari Details to Tribal Prints Safari details on jackets, shorts and dresses add qualities of adventure and the wild to the Spring 2008 collections.
Into the Boudoir: Translucent, diaphanous fabrics, voluminous soft shapes, ethereal chemises and camisoles are the unforgettable unmentionables of spring. As soft and luscious as a bed of roses, lingerie influenced collections of the season bloom before your eyes. These garments give women a reason to feel rejuvenated and revitalized after a long, hard winter's day.
