Spring 2014 Must Haves: 3 instant updates that will bring your wardrobe into next season
With spring hovering that much closer, it’s finally time to recharge those warm weather wardrobes (insert smiley face emoji here). This season, there are a few key pieces that will easily transform your look, and we’re here to make that transition as easy as 1, 2, 3.
A ‘90s revival on the runways breathed new life into the slipdress, making it the ultimate wardrobe essential layered under knits, with plaid and camo. Meanwhile, sex appeal was made hip with the advent of the side-slit leather skirt on runways like Proenza Schouler and Reed Krakoff. The long-favoured bomber jacket also reappeared on the runway this season, in satin and with transparent touches at Marc by Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten. So get ready to ditch all that heavy winter gear and consider these three as your must-have items to elevate your look this spring

See the Spring 2014 nail art looks up close »
The nails at New York Fashion Week were right in tune with the ’90s minimalism style we saw on the Spring 2014 runways. Sheer is in, colour is out and the nail art trend seems to be winding down. The bare and buffed nails of last spring are still going strong for 2014, with designers like Altuzarra, Alexander Wang and Jeremy Laing opting for pale shades of pink, lavender or beige instead of punchy pastels and neon brights.

FASHION Plates: Host your own royal wedding watching party!
By Randi Bergman and Jordan PorterYou can’t tell, but we wrote this with a British accent. That’s how excited we are for the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton this Friday (has our month-long countdown taught you anything?) There was a point in time where Will’s “I do” might have sent us into the depths of despair with visions of our could-be life of polo matches, fancy hats and royal-crested pinkie rings crumbling before us. These days though, our royal loyalties lie with that crush-worthy bad-boy Harry, so for now, we’re totally game for rising at 6am to watch the event of the century along with the rest of the world. For those of you who’d like to join in full spirit, we’ve prepared a guide to the essentials you’ll need to host your own themed party. May the festivities begin!
