With scent being the strongest sense tied to memory, it’s only fitting that you pick a scent worth remembering. Warmer weather calls for a departure from the woodsy, spicy scents typical of winter and fall. For spring and summer months, pick scents that are either in the fruity, light floral or fresh family, or a combination of these. These light, effervescent fragrances evoke images of sunshine, summer breezes and spring blossoms.

Here are some of our top scent picks for this spring and summer:

Chloe Fragrance: this sparkling and feminine fragrance has citrus, soft floral and fruity notes.

Calvin Klein Beauty: a sophisticated year-round scent that’s perfectly glamorous. Its rich and timeless combination of floral and warm notes is a great choice for summer nights.

Marc Jacobs Curacao: this deliciously refreshing splash is steeped with cool citrus and fruits that evoke a cool summer cocktail. This is a great breezy scent to wear beachside.

Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh: this bubbly and delightful version of Daisy was made for spring! It's a fresh, youthful choice for the girl who loves fashion.

Vera Wang Preppy Princess: a playful, charming and lively version of the ever-popular Princess  scent, Preppy Princess has luscious fruit notes that make it perfect for summer.

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom: this crisp fruity-floral scent captures a gorgeous New York City spring day. Its fresh and feminine notes make it a gorgeous daytime scent.

Missoni Fragrance: play up your exotic side with this classic scent of lush florals and tantalizing fruits. This modern and timeless fragrance is perfect for a night out on the town.

Nothing to Wear? Throw on a Scarf!

Now, we’re not suggesting you go sans clothing and just throw on a scarf&= ! But you can literally put on a simple white tee and your go-to pair of jeans , slip on a pair of comfy flats, then throw on a light and colorful scarf, and you’ve got yourself a look that’s effortlessly cool and pulled-together.

We’ve spotted this no-brainer of a trend on the hottest fashion mavens of Tinseltown season after season, and it’s no

Whether it’s at the airport or going out for a java fix, Hollywood’s hottest fashionistas like Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad and Rachel Bilson all know one thing; scarves are quite possibly the easiest way to throw new life into casual ensembles.

The rising temperatures call for lightweight and airy scarves, making a great transition from your winter to spring wardrobe. Try a lovely and flowy lavender scarf by Missoni with a simple tank top or a lightweight sweater for an instant pop of color, or for an edgy take on feminine, try this surreal Alexander McQueen silk scarf . These soft color palettes look particularly pretty when worn against a grey or black top for contrast.

If your style is more laid-back bohemian, opt for a bright pop of color in an overdyed Indian-style print, like this scarf by Lucky Brand. The exotic print lends such a worldly feel and the lightweight texture complements your warm-weather wardrobe impeccably.

So, next time you’re frantically searching your closet for something to wear, just throw on some basics and accessorize with a colorful scarf to get that uncontrived look that says, “I always look this good even on my off days”.

Reunited and it Feels so Good

Missoni and the Valentino Fashion Group announced Friday that they will renew the partnership both companies initially established in 2005. The VFG S.p.A., home to brands like Hugo Boss and Proenza Schouler, agreed to join into the partnership with Missoni to help expand Missoni’s secondary line, M Missoni.

M Missoni, a women’s line, first launched in 1999. “This long term renewal expresses the trust that Missoni has in the Valentino Fashion Group,” said VFG’s CEO, Stefano Sassi, to Fashion Week Daily. “ It will allow us to put more emphasis and attention on the development of the retail network and to continue with the ambitious goal of further growth of the brand at a global level.”

Celebrity Style: Flowers, Shoulders, and Scarfs

We have been seeing flowers all over the fashion trends on celebrities lately. Well, the new fashion trend among celebrities for flowers is on their shoes. Not just subtle little flowers on shoes, but big and bold rosettes on heels and flats. Eva Longoria Parker wore a black pair of stiletto heels with a large black flower on the front, while Cameron Diaz opted to wear flats with multi-colored and embellished flowers with her dress on the red carpet. This is definitely going to continue to be a big trend as we head into the spring and warmer months next year.

One less flashy celebrity fashion trend is the one shouldered black dress. This is a great option for a night out, or if you are a celebrity going for a more casual red carpet look. Lauren Conrad from The Hills, along with Amanda Bynes and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have all worn the one shouldered black dress to Hollywood events. This celebrity fashion trend would even go well with the flower shoes that celebrities have been wearing, like a cute, one shouldered black dress with some red high heels with a rosette on it. You could pass for a celebrity if you wore that!

If you want a more casual celebrity fashion trend that will also keep you warm in this cold winter weather, try a plaid scarf. Pairing a black or brown winter coat with a plaid scarf can get you that celebrity look. Hillary Duff, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift have all paired their black coats with a cute plaid scarf. There are several different ways that you can wear the scarf. You can tie it around your neck to keep you warm and trendy or wear it like Miley did by letting it just hang around your neck. Try a trendy scarf from Missoni to rock out this celebrity fashion trend while keeping you warm in this cold, cold winter!

LOOKS OF THE WEEK - LYNN

The ‘Lady Lynn’ is quite the fashion icon. She is always turned out in vintage designer pieces (a little Missoni here, and little YSL there), mixes high and low fashions, wears the most fabulous shoes this side of Vogue’s closet and never, ever looks like she is trying to fashionably hard. Having owned a vintage clothing boutique in the New England area, she knows a thing or two about clothes, how they fit and what works. Mix in her being uber fit, what more is there to say? Couture bows down to this BFF (that is beautiful fashionable female, in case you were not in the know).

Celebrity Fashion: Peep Toes, Leather Jackets and Studs

Even though it’s into the fall season, many celebrities are still seen wearing sandals and peep-toe pumps . Peep-toe pumps are all the rage on the red carpet now. From plain peep-toe pumps to ones with embellishments and flowers on them, the shoes can be seen all over the feet of the famous woman in Hollywood. Such celebrities as Kim Kardashian, Tori Spelling, Jennifer Hudson, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron and Halle Berry love wearing peep-toe pumps on the red carpet and to special events. These celebrities love the peep-toe pumps by designer Missoni . Actually, peep-to-pumps are a great show for the fall season. They add a little drama to the shoe but still are appropriate for the colder weather. One thing to remember when wearing the shoes is to never wear pantyhose with them, which allows you to see the end of the pantyhose where the toes show.

The cropped leather jacket is another huge fashion trend right now with the female celebrities. Such celebrities as Heidi Klum, Joy Bryant, Miley Cyrus and Rachel Bilson have all rocked out in the cropped leather jacket. Despite what you may think, the jacket can be worn with more clothing than just jeans. A cropped leather jacket can be worn with a cute casual dress, a pair of trousers, or you can go all out rocker and wear it with a pair of leggings. It makes a great alternative to a plain, fall jacket. Just stay away from wearing the leather jacket with leather pants; you might end up looking like you belong in a motorcycle bar.

For a quick update to your wardrobe, try what many celebrities are doing and add a studded handbag to your outfit. A studded handbag can jazz up an outfit and add some quick style to an otherwise boring outfit. Rihanna has been seen carrying around several different studded handbags. The girls on the television show Gossip Girl also have been sporting some studded handbags around the set. The handbags make a great accessory and everyone will be asking where you got that cool handbag from!
