Trending: Max Out for Spring

Seventies hippie and nineties grunge collide this spring as a flurry of maxi skirts and dresses will surely pop up on the sunshine-paved streets. You no longer have to pick between sundresses, shorts and mini-skirts to celebrate the season. If you're like me, who doesn't plan on emptying my local drugstore's supply of shaving cream, lightweight ankle-length skirts and dresses are just what you need to add comfortably breezy options to your wardrobe that will last through summer.

Wear maxi dresses with tough accessories, cropped tops and open-toed booties with long skirts. Shorties (because not all of us are supermodels) can opt for sheer alternatives to show glimmers of skin. With these babies added to the game, getting dressed in the morning just got a little more interesting. Oh and don't worry, these picks won't make you look like a pilgrim lost in time.

Label Watch: Sophomore FTW

If you catch sight of a double rainbow in the sky, you don't keep that secret gem to yourself, do you? Chrissie Miller's label Sophomore has been making basic staples with a twist since 2003. In collaboration with Madeline von Froomer, Miller creates collections that are inspired by New York City's Lower East Side. Of course, Sophomore is hardly news to anyone who's been paying attention to small but awesome fashion labels, that are in abundance out there. The epic t-shirt above (which is currently sold for a limited time here) however, is definitely one of those Sophomore gems that will always make the label as newsworthy as any "winning" celebrity.
