Since my personal fashion style leans more towards classics, I like to think <a href="http://rstyle.me/idqeerhe" target="_blank">pieces like this</a> help me look a tad bit edgier. 3. This <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/" target="_blank">shagreen box</a> is a stunner, 'nuf said.  4. Camouflage, I'm such fan of this dynamic print which is really due for a major fashion moment again and <a href="http://rstyle.me/h3xqqterhe" target="_blank">these flats</a> are calling my name.  5. Ever since my white toy watch went <i>ca put</i> a few weeks ago, I've been eyeing<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bcxzerhe" target="_blank"> this one.</a>  6.Last week found me wandering into Space NK, when I walked out <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bb6zerhe" target="_blank">I smelled heavenly!</a>  7. Finally, this <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/" target="_blank">vintage dress sign</a> kills me, I'm trying to work up the nerve to buy it, ship it and hang it in our white walled living room in Florida.

(The girl is <i>bonafid</i>e.)  Here's her spin on the latest and greatest trends in fashion.<br /><br />Hi  there! I'm so thrilled to be on The Zhush, one of my  personal favorites! As a freelance fashion editor and blogger I see all  the shows and clothes and am excited to share the best of the  runway to real way for Spring 2012.<br /><br /><div>PEPLUM: Everyone thinks peplum is such a hard look,  but it's not. Keep the peplum in the top, not in a skirt, which could  make you look heavier, and pair with a skinny bottom. <a href="http://rstyle.me/g6t23verhe" target="_blank">Asos</a>, $39.39</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAdLDYeAnNRyCAl5fwZnHixwd9IE070l0cH1tKR2mm6IzPpr86OFX60vddaPSCDyLxY3ZjqXBwCXpT9gPjagZCLofzbDO62Ji-Y2XRm5FEtCpdcz9VzZw9cpB8K4rAV4inMfpJCsPAjD6/s1600/Picture+495.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAdLDYeAnNRyCAl5fwZnHixwd9IE070l0cH1tKR2mm6IzPpr86OFX60vddaPSCDyLxY3ZjqXBwCXpT9gPjagZCLofzbDO62Ji-Y2XRm5FEtCpdcz9VzZw9cpB8K4rAV4inMfpJCsPAjD6/s1600/Picture+495.png" /></a></div><div>MINIMALIST BAG: Bags are finally going back to basics! You can get the  simple shape almost anywhere, but be sure it has a long strap for double  the look - cross-body or over the shoulder. <a href="http://rstyle.me/u4jz2erhe" target="_blank">Dooney & Bourke,</a> $365 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_dAuhJ6QYyyh06qTti914rFjLWAE6O50xsH1wPPvQdfzbr5x8fWSLqQSiepC9zK7LPCnKarkP9ckG_xfubbnHZCbnuGIwAeuRpUjIJ_eaNqCS2zqrPWd77rcXP7h0WbtL61_y_LmtwDA/s1600/-37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_dAuhJ6QYyyh06qTti914rFjLWAE6O50xsH1wPPvQdfzbr5x8fWSLqQSiepC9zK7LPCnKarkP9ckG_xfubbnHZCbnuGIwAeuRpUjIJ_eaNqCS2zqrPWd77rcXP7h0WbtL61_y_LmtwDA/s1600/-37.jpg" /></a></div><div>COLORED LACE: Have fun with it! Black lace is great, but can get a  bit boring.

White is too hard to wear for most, so go with classic black here.
