Trend Report: World Traveler

Embark on a safari of style in these well-traveled frocks. Beautifully inspired tribal prints, flowing fabrics, natural elements and beaded accents are among some of the stylish attributes of this worldly trend seen gracing the Spring 2008 runways. What I love about it: Sometimes utilitarian, sometimes soft, the look is eclectic and bold with a charming amount of substance. What to look for: Intricate details, ethnic adornment, bold patterns in fabrics, and animal influences in jewelry. In addition to the items in the collage, I've also put together two looks for this trend—one for day and one for evening and a celebrity inspired look as well. Check out Paris Hilton sporting the World Traveler trend in Diane von Furstenberg. Please remember, everything pictured here can be clicked on! I hope you enjoy the new blog. Happy Shopping!
