It dawned on me that I hadn't heard from L.L. Bean Signature in a while, so I headed over to their website to see what was new for spring. Under a banner of "effortless sophistication," the online catalog showcases eight key looks that define the season, from a silk scoopneck blouse tucked into a striped A-line skirt, to a pineapple print pullover paired with gabardine ankle pants. Defining New England style for nearly a century, L.L. Bean is known for classic lines and impeccable quality and it's Signature line brings back retro styles from the brand's archives. I seriously love everything, it's practical and outdoorsy yet romantic and feminine at the same time. Even if you don't think of yourself as an L.L. Bean shopper, I guarantee you'll fall head over heels for these cork wedges, this butterfly-print sundress or this mariner leather purse.

More looks after the jump.

Shades of coral are everywhere in the fashion world for spring, including nail colors. One of my favorite shades of this vibrant orange hue is Life Preserver by China Glaze, part of the 12-piece Anchors Away collection for Spring/Summer 2011. Life Preserver is a "highly pigmented and luxurious poppy crème." Think of a natural coral branch, the kind most commonly sold at bead stores and art fairs, and you'll have Life Preserver. It's more of a brick-red or rust, rather than a punchy neon orange or pink.
