Kelly Saks - Miami's Fashion Girl: Spring Trends

Orange You Glad?

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of meeting Neiman Marcus' Fashion Director, Ken Downing, while he was in Miami to style a spring fashion show. (Impeccable style and unbelievably kind!) Of all the trends he presented throughout the show, one in particular stuck out to me. Orange, in every shade, "think safety cone," he declared. This sheer blouse c/o The Orchid Boutique is a must-have, with the added bonus that it doubles as a swimsuit cover-up. The necklace, also from the South Beach swimwear mecca, had to be mine when I saw it. Statement necklaces are my thing. I love how they can transform a simple t-shirt or blouse from casual to ultra chic. Love the look? You'll be able to shop for other great summer staples from The Orchid Boutique tomorrow at Style Sessions! (Hint hint, there may be a special something from them in the gift bags.) Get your tickets here.

Early riser? Start your day with a dose of spring fashion tomorrow morning on Miami's Local 10. I'm dishing on the season's hottest trends at Bloomies Aventura with my girl MJ Acosta in her new segment MJ in the Morning. I had so much fun dressing my ~~barbies~~ models, Priscilla and Kristina, in monochromatic dresses, denim, sparkle, and something I like to call sporty spice.

Priscilla wears Current & Elliot Chambray Top & Seven Bootcut Jeans.

My dress by Karen Millen (borrowed), Sandals by C Label (Only $20!)

Kristina wears French Connection Embellished Jacket & True Religion Destroyed Boyfriend Jeans.

UPDATE: This segment was originally scheduled to air on Tuesday, April 16th, but was postponed in light of the Boston Marathon terror attack. While fashion is an expressive art form that brings us joy and inspiration, I stand with the rest of the country in honoring the victims and heroes of yesterday's senseless act. May prayers, love, and light spread throughout Boston and lead us to a brighter tomorrow. x Kelly

BLACK + WHITE

It's THE trend of the season, and unless you've been hiding under a rock, you probably knew that already. Back in December, I told Aventura Magazine, "You only need two colors in your closet next season—black and white" Just call me Walter Mercado. (If you're not Latin, you'll have to Google that. I typically don't go crazy on trends, but this monochromatic phenomenon is far more. Black & white is tres chic, classic, and oh so easy to wear! Feel free to spice it up with a punch of color on your lips and nails, or with a bold handbag. I'm seriously crushing on Hoss Intropia these days (last seen here on NYE, and more to come.) The Spanish line's spring collection is chock full of feminine, flirty pieces that make you feel casually glamorous. This polka dot dress is flattering on any woman, and just plain fun. You can find Hoss Intropia exclusively at Bloomingdale's Aventura & Miami stores.

P.S. You're getting a sneak peek at my new digs! Since moving in December it feels like I've birthed a child... I'll get around to posting the extreme home makeover eventually.
