Denim in the spring and summer? Yeah, we’re planning on it. But as the weather gets warmer and it’s time to frolic in the park or take a stroll through the lower east side, city girls know a cute, versatile dress is the key to an outfit that will be comfortable and classy all day long. Denim dresses are one approach we adore, and we’ve listed 6 of our fav’s below.
2. Paul & Joe Diffus stretch-denim dress
3. L’Agence Stretch-denim dress
4. Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Polka-dot denim dress
5. Carven Knitted cotton and denim dress
6. See by Chloe Denim bustier babydoll dress
Happy spring!

We love talking denim, but let’s face it, we’re not wearing denim in our hair, on our feet, or on our lips (okay, fine, there are some theatrical exceptions to that in photograph form somewhere). But denim-love aside, we’re sure you’ve been hunting around for some universal spring shopping advice too. After all, a good foundation, sunnies, and cute accessoires are just as crucial as your on-trend neon jeans. That’s why we’ve rounded up 9 essential accessories staples we’ll be buying…
1. BaubleBar Candy Striped Bangles
3. BareMinerals SPF 15 Light Powder Foundation (available in 20 skin tones)
4. Camelbak Blue BPA-Free Water Bottle
5. Lilly Pulitzer – Trellis Tote In Gold Metallic
6. Movado ‘Small Bold’ Metallic Marker Watch
7. Butter London – Dressing Table Duo (Tart with a Heart & Fairy Lights)
8. BaubleBar Neon Stoned Drop Earrings
9. ASOS Spike Stretch Bracelet
Happy shopping!

Newsflash! We’re in the 21st century. And while we may not have flying cars or a cure for the common cold, we’re certainly making progress in how our shopping and style lives are becoming increasingly high-tech. In honor of that, here are seven awesome fashion, style, and shopping apps that you should download on your phone (most of them are free!).
Stylebook ($3.99): Remember Cher Horowitz’s enviable virtual wardrobe in Clueless? Well, all your ’90s dreams can come true because this app is kind of like that. Snap photos of your clothes, create and save looks. Plus, take advantage of the slew of cool features that Cher would have killed for, like the ability to collect style stats (i.e. most and least worn items) and inspiration, in an easy-to-use interface.
The Outnet StyleCred (Free): The online designer discount retailer’s app lets you shop its site (no surprise there), but the real kicker is in the styling fun. It’s totally addicting, but you can create looks and share them with friends on Facebook or Twitter. If one of your buddies likes a piece and buys it, you’ll snag a $30 credit.
BeSpeak (Free): Most fashion and style iPhone apps are geared primarily towards the ladies, but this one allows men to input info about their height, hair, eye color, skin tone, and build and receive advice on how to look stylish in business formal wear. Maybe you don’t need pocket square recommendations every day, but it sure is nice to have that information at your fingertips.
FashioNomad ($1.99): If you’re a global shopper, download this shopping app and use it the next time you’re in a new city. You have to pay $0.99 for each new locale–besides New York City, which comes with your purchase–but you’ll get some valuable information. The app lists the best in-city boutiques and brands, along with brief descriptions of the neighborhood, including the best places to take your obligatory coffee shopping break. It’s also GPS-enabled, complete with maps and directions to direct you on where you want to go.
The Find (Free): Perfect for bargain-hunters, this comparison shopping app reveals the best deals for products that you actually want. Scan a barcode, and you’ll get a listing of the local stores and websites that offer the item, along with any coupon codes or shipping deals. Plus, there are no annoying ads!
Pose (Free): This app melds together social shopping, style inspiration, and retail deals all in one. Snap and upload photos of your own outfits, learn about contests or snag specials from brands and retailers, and check out the merchandise that other community members have grabbed.
chicfeed (Free): For easy access to the best street style photographs, flip through fresh pics from sites like The Sartorialist and Face Hunter. Though you can’t scroll through multiple images at one time (a bummer), it’s still a quick way to gain fashion inspiration on the fly.

If you’ll be trimming the tree and then hitting the town for some ho-ho-holiday party action this year (maybe more than a few nights before the year is out), you’ll want to wear denim that accomplishes three things:
1. Catch eyes as they walk in the room.
2. Feel good while you’re cutting a rug.
3. Start conversations about “Omg-where-did-you-get-them”.
Here are nine pairs of jeans that win the “most likely to be caught on a dance floor” from a range of price points on the market right now. And remember, if you rip your jeans while you’re starting an aerobics-mosh-pit, we’re here for you.

2. Siwy Denim Hannah Cropped Glitter Skinny
