I have been an avid reader of Kansas Couture for several years now, so when I launched the website it just felt natural to contact blogger Katy to help showcase all of the lovelies available at gracie b. I just adore her latest post with the It's a Colorful World Skinnys. Mixing several pink elements into one outfit can be tough and is not a task meant for the weary. However, she makes it look so easy! The peach top with the fuschia skinnys, tied together with some a-ma-zing shoes makes me want to pull out every piece of pink I have in the closet and wear it at once!
I am completely delighted to work with N.E.E.T Magazine again on their June issue! I just love the two page spread that editor Stephanie put together. Isn't it lovely?!
I am proud to announce that the Spring 2012 Look Book has officially arrived! I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out and I'm already eagerly anticipating Fall's!
Things around gracie b. have been pretty amazing lately! I have not been very good about posting all the excitement, but I hope I have done an o-kay job of keeping you up to speed via Twitter and Facebook. In case you missed it, about a week or so ago I was privileged to have Katy of Kansas Couture style The Green Dream Shirt Dress on her blog! And, she knocked it out of the park! I love the tights and short boots to offset the dress's feminine, flowy chiffon fabric. She looks amazing, doesn't she?

From preppy style to pretty florals to fun micro prints, there are some really great fashion trends to choose from this Spring. At gracie b. I love dissecting the latest trends and bringing the best of the best into the shop. For one of our latest emailers (if you haven't yet, you can sign up here), I put together a few of my top picks.
Florals Nothing says spring like a great floral piece and this spring there is an abundance of floral to choose from. From pretty pastels to bold brights, floral is making a big statement this year. I love the two floral options above for different reasons. The Blue Du Jour Maxi dress is a sassy little number, great for a date night but equally as perfect for a Saturday morning brunch with the girls. Just throw on a cardi and great flat sandals! The I've Got Sunshine Full skirt beside it is the perfect floral piece to wear to the office. A navy top with a great pair of pumps will make you trend right and office appropriate.
Micro Prints This is probably one of the funnest trends to wear this season, in addition to being my personal favorite. Micro prints can be whimsical and fun because the look very simple from a distance, but upon closer examination realize there is more than meets the eye. For example, something simple looking like polka dots turns out to actually be something unusual like the small outline of a cat, as seen here in The Cat's Meow dress.
Prep Club Finally, we finish with a classic look that is making a big come-back this spring: preppy style. Take a cue from the nautically inspired Red-dy to Set Sail top and start layering on the stripes and primary colors. Pair with a great pair of cuffed jeans and boat shoes, and you're off to the yacht club! For work, pull on the always classic You've "Red" My Mind Full skirt with your pearls and pumps.
So, there you have it! A rundown of some of the greatest trends of the season. You can check out the entire selection on our trend page.
