Macy's Ready-to-Wear Spring 2011 Lookbook




For Spring 2011, Macy's is celebrating the season with four main trends: Ocean View, Urban Island, Mediterraneus and Rainforest. This means we can look forward to harmonious colors inspired by nature, sophisticated utility, modern day goddess-inspired attire and rich combinations of textures, colors and silhouettes. Must-have pieces to get the looks include airy knits, flirty skirts, Grecian draped dresses, chic jackets, slim cropped pants as well as slouchy cuffed trousers. I love how Rachel Rachel Roy mixes prints and plays with proportion. And check out that pastel nail polish the models are sporting - gotta have it!
