One-shoulder Dressing
From Michelle Obama to every other actress on the red carpet, ladies are showing their shoulders -- at least one of them!

Snakeskin Accessories
Whether you stick with the real thing or go for faux, the slithery skin will be everywhere you look this season.

Statement Shoes
Embrace the platform, and stiletto! Shoes are chunky, bright and fierce, with serious straps, buckles and embellishments.

Ruffles
You'll see ruffles on blouses, dresses, even bags. From full to subtle, they add movement and femininity to every look.

Carryalls
Be ready for every situation and occasion -- just throw it in your tote!

Colorful Cardigans
Brighten up a little black dress for day wear with a magenta sweater. Or layer two - or more! -- in complimentary colors to create depth and drama.

Graphics
Be vivid! Go for geometric blocks of color, or pick wild optic prints.

Ken Downing, the Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus, has released his list of nine trends that will be super hot this spring. We're excited to add some of these looks to our wardrobe and shake off the winter blues!

His predictions include luxe items -- think giant snakeskin totes and fabulously crazy platform shoes -- as well some easier to wear trends, like bright cardigans, one-shouldered tops and dresses, plus anything pink.

Some of the trends, like ruffles and graphic prints, overlap with others. This May, you will be the height of fashion in a ruffled, one-shouldered, pink snakeskin-print dress.

Well, maybe that would be a bit much, but you get the idea. Check out the complete list for ideas on how to dress "to the nines" this spring!
