January and February are challenging months to get dressed-Fall is long gone and Spring is not quite here. This, combined with a possible vacation to somewhere warm and tropical, means your wardrobe is doing some serious multi-tasking. With the help of these five fantastic wardrobe basics, looking great will be effortless:

1. Have a Blazer On Hand - A blazer is an easy way to dress up an outfit: mix it with jeans, khakis, pants or even a pencil skirt to go from casual to dressy. Blazers in black, gold or white mixed with floral print dresses are a big trend for Spring, so a well-fit blazer will be an essential piece throughout the year.

Pregnancy Style Tips

Managing to stay stylish during pregnancy is quite the challenge, and Project Runway’s Kristin Haskins-Simms is no stranger to being creative with her wardrobe. Kristin, the master behind the clothing label Strangefruit has provided her tips for how Mom’s to be can get celeb worthy style without breaking the bank.

Kristin's tips on how to dress your bump in style:
 
Wear Leather (or Faux)!
“ I know it sounds crazy but I find that when I wear a light leather motorcycle style jacket paired with black yoga pants, ballet flats, an elongated Tee to cover the belly and a scarf, I always get a double take. Sometimes I wear tights/leggings with knee high flat boots (2" and under) and wear one of my old tube-style dresses or skirts that have an elastic waistband. Pair this with a motorcycle and you are just as fab as the fashionistas. I also have leather wristlet accessories that I wear over a long sleeve tee. It's more of a statement but it garners attention as most don't think pregnant moms can or want to be fabulous. “

We’ve taken a look at the biggest trends for fall/winter and we’re excited to see the return of leather . This season it’s been given an ultra feminine makeover, and is no longer venturing along the lines of biker chic and Goth.

The playful and extremely feminine romper trend of 2011 are amongst the hottest tendencies of this summer. These super stylish and comfy pieces can be spotted all over the runways and in the latest street fashion as well. Just when everybody thought they have been forgotten, rompers made a huge comeback on the fashion scene of 2010. Rompers, jumpsuits and playsuits are excellent choices to expose your wonderful, tanned legs and flash some skin with confidence and style.
