Dear Diary,
I am turning 40 next month and have a low key dinner with friends planned.  As it's a fairly special meal, would you have any suggestions on what I should wear please?  I live in the UK.  Many thanks.
- Janey 

Dear Janey,
There's no better way to command attention (in the best possible way, of course) than with a flattering jumpsuit in a notice-me, of-the-moment floral print.  A cropped tuxedo jacket is perfect for covering your shoulders in the chilly night air, and nude platforms will help elongate legs.  Finish the look with antique gold jewelry and a chic coral clutch.  I hope you have an amazing birthday night!

There's nothing more refreshing and crisp for spring than a sleek pair of white denim paired with a relaxed and faded chambray button-down.  Add a pop of color with this red satchel (that features leopard side panels for added oomph), and keep the rest of the look simple: muted gold jewelry, basic aviators and neutral wedges.  No matter where the day takes you, you'll appear casual and chic.  (And maybe a little like you stepped out of a Michael Kors ad, but what's wrong with that?)

Dear Diary,
I am going to an indoor "Women's Night Out" fundraising event at the beginning of May.  The theme for this year's event will be a "Jimmy Buffet/Margaritaville party", and I would like to dress the part.  Any suggestions?
- Lisa D.

Dear Lisa,
While a true "Parrothead" will most likely be found in a grass skirt, a Hawaiian shirt and a lei, you may want to go a little more dressed up for your Women's Night Out.  This parrot-themed shift dress is perfect for a fundraising event (and possibly for enjoying a few Boat Drinks).  Paired with blue pumps or sandals, gold jewelry and a chain-strapped handbag, you'll have a look that is both fun and appropriate.  For a different approach, try white linen pants with a floral-patterned shirt, as in the Margaritaville-esque look below.  Complete the bright ensemble with wedges, a colored handbag and tropical-themed jewelry.  Here's hoping for a fundraising success!

Although we were able to spend a couple of hours at the beach back in January, this weekend's weather looks perfect for our first full beach day of the year.  I love the mintish-aqua hue of this bandeau suit, and my favorite beach coverups are always simple jersey t-shirt dresses.  Grab a pair of oversized shades, and throw your essentials into this Southwestern-inspired tote for an easy chic day on the sand.  If a day at the beach seems out of your reach, this laidback look will work just as well for a backyard get-together with the girls.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

The look above is a what's what of my favorite closet staples at the moment: cuffed denim Romwe shorts that I've been wearing since they arrived (a steal at $26); semi-sheer, ultra soft tees by Daydreamer LA that I've decided I need in every color; lightweight aviators; comfortable booties; a handbag in a bold spring hue; and jewelry in a combination of silver and turquoise (which Vanessa Mooney does so brilliantly).  What are some of your spring wardrobe must-haves?

In this fourth installment (just in time for weekend two) of the Coachella Dreamin' series, the festival fashion is simplified to a smart-ass Sugarhigh + Lovestoned tee paired with no-fuss colored denim cutoffs.  (If you haven't already checked out Sugarhigh + Lovestoned's line of knitwear, there's no better time than festival season to get familiar.)  Keep comfortable with these simple but chic flat sandals and a hands-free leather messenger.  Finish the look with aviators, layered bracelets and this mix, match and stack set of gold band rings.

With this week's weather forecast predicted in the mid-seventies for the most part, I can't wait to break out short skirts, tank tops and sandals.  I absolutely love the fit and flare smocked silhouette of this tribal-printed mini by Free People, and paired with a simple cropped tank, it creates the perfect laidback spring feel.  Gladiator-inspired sandals, a woven leather messenger, cateye sunglasses and understated jewelry complete the chic bohemian look.
