Spring awakening

With the last few days of 2009 rolling out this week, our minds are focused on the future, primarily Spring 2010 when fashion goes into soft focus with pretty pastels an flattering florals making a comeback.  And while these hyper-girly looks may feel like to much of a sweet thing, a little hint of happy prints can make even the dark hearted girls among us feel renewed.  Here are a few of our favorite hint-of spring pieces. 

Tulle Rose Tee, $42.59 at Jcrew.Even flowers can have an urban edgy feel when done ins soft silvery pewter, like this versatile tee from JCrew. Pair with jeans for day, or slim skirt and boots for an evening out look.  

Peony-pink gives a flowery feel to this uber-archetectural dress from Hussein Chalayan. $915 at Opening Ceremony. 

Soft brown never looked so Springy! Delicate branches, twigs and blossoms lend a sense of renewal to this neutral toned dress from the Banana Republic Heritage collection. $110 at Banan Republic stores nationwide.
