About two or three years ago now, girls stopped taking their scarves off when it came time for spring. Sure, the material got lighter, but that little wisp around the shoulders became a staple that it seems mainstream, mid-price retailers are finally ready for this year. The vintage stores I was turning upside down to find them can breathe again!

Colors and shapes are all over the place, but the fabric is consistent- most girls are choosing whisper-light silks and cottons. This trend does a lot to punch up a look without spending a bunch of money at one time (although if going luxe is your thing, check out this beautiful version from Missoni). I like wearing them over a thin, strappy tank top or with a sundress; you’re still showing the nice line of your neck- a pretty part of almost every girl- without feeling naked.

I happen to be a Leo, and we love gold, shiny things. So it’s no surprise that I adore these necklaces and rings from The Constellations collection of jewelry designer Ella Poe. They are a unique way to make a statement and show your zodiac pride.

At $1,050 for the necklaces and $1,250 for the rings, these pieces are not cheap. But do not despair! There is a coupon code at the Ella Poe website that lets you save 15%: EXTRA2008
Also, you’ll be helping a charity called Women for Women International with your purchase, as a portion of the profits goes to them. Style with a cause! Loves it.
