Yesterday was the first day I realized that Holidays are over and it is time to get ready for Spring 2013!!!! Does not Spring 2013 just sound fabulous? My perfect plan for this coming summer is to visit Russia and my great friend from childhood is going to turn 30 (as am I a little after her). It is a big deal in Russia to celebrate those dates with zeroes at the end. So my friend will celebrate it in a big way, and it got me very excited to start looking for a cute dress… and for some trends for S/S 2013. So I thought I would share.

Not to bore anyone with details, in short these pictures summarize 6 big ideas – contrast of black and white, see-through lightweight materials, high-end patchwork, over-the-top ruffles, power suits, and origami. Personally, I am in love with 1st, 2nd, and 4th – can’t wait to find a ruffled dress for myself!
