Hi, you should make a spring 2011 wardrobe essentials list, I need a guide of what to get this spring! —K

Great question (er, request?)! I need a guide to help me shop for spring, too. In addition to restocking your basic tees and cardigans for layering, here's a list of 10 must haves to add your wardrobe - of course these are just suggestions, edit and seek out styles that suit you!

I am looking for a knee length floral dress for spring. Any suggestions? Modesty is key. —@chloecolette

Natalie Portman wore a floral Rodarte dress to a Black Swan screening, while Rihanna donned a demure floral dress to a book signing.

Floral prints always feel right for spring. Here's are some of the best floral dresses I've seen under $100.

First, I am totally obsessed with the Kinder Aggugini collection for Macy's, which includes a number of high-fashion florals at unbelievable prices. This one's $69:

All the options I've shown can be worn with blazers or cardigans and tights for a more modest look. Hope this helps - and happy spring! —BB

My sister's prom is this year and we have been searching for a dress similar to the one Selena Gomez wore to the 2011 People's Choice Awards (shown below). The dress was designed by Irina Shabayeva, Project Runway's Season 6 winner. I can't seem to find anything close enough to it and I was hoping you would be able to help with the search. —Tina E





Selena looks so cute in that dress, I've been trying to find a similar hi-low gown for weeks! So far, this is the closest I've seen. But it's not cheap - it's $338 at eDressme.com:



Here's another option that might work for you. Although it's a solid color rather than a print, I think it's a gorgeous shade of blue and it will create the silhouette you're going for. It's $248 at Bloomingdale's:



If anyone knows where Tina can find the dress she's looking for, please let us know in the comments!

I will be celebrating my 21st birthday shortly and I am looking for the perfect party dress. I loved Vanessa Hudgens in the silver bandage dress and this is the type of look I am going for. Do you have any budget friendly recommendations? —Andrea





The bandage dress continues to be a go-to style for celebrities looking to turn heads! Here's the latest crop of budget-friendly bandage dresses that I found, starting with my top pick by French Connection:



Here's another great dress from Lulus.com. Hurry, these are going fast at just $48.
