Looking for inspiration? You have come to the right place, brought to you straight from our Sky-List, Jen Dorman, of the blog, Boston Bachelorette.

James Perse slim fit shirt
I feel fresh when I am wearing a thin, basic T. It’s perfect for spring and great for layering. This is a great foundational piece.

Valentino leather coat
A nice trench is a necessity for the spring. I like the transparent trend and the details on this coat!

Hudson Jeans skinny fit jeans
The perfect pair of jeans can take you just about anywhere. Embrace pastels for spring. Colored denim is easy to wear. I just stocked up on three new pairs from Barney’s.

Hunter wellington boots
April showers are upon us. Be ready for them with a cute yet functional pair of boots. A fun color will brighten up a gloomy day!

Transparent umbrella
A clear bubble umbrella is a must-have for city life. It’s tough to grab a cab when it rains, but open this umbrella and you’re ready to stroll.

Clinique
A bright lip color is a great way to freshen up for the season. Go light on your makeup and keep your routine simple with the focus on your lips.

Murad
It’s very important to protect your skin, especially when you walk around the city all day from one meeting to the next. I’m a big fan of Murad’s products.

cpotter202 — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:00:30 +0000

Start your day the trendy way, brought to you straight from our Sky-List, Kaitlin Madden, of the local fashion, food, events and nightlife blog, Lux & Concord!

Patch NYC – Candle

“Don Carney, one of the owners of Patch NYC on Waltham Street, is an amazing artist, and his ink drawings are recreated on lots of stuff in the shop, including this candle. I love the skull drawing, but the candle also smells amazing.”

Fresh- Creme Ancienne Infusion

“My skin gets so dry when it’s cold out, so in the winter I add a step to my skincare routine. I splash Fresh Creme Ancienne Infusion on my face before moisturizing (another favorite: Cetaphil moisturizing cream – the kind that comes in a tub. I put it on head-to-toe everyday).”

Vince – Sweater
“As soon as December hits Boston, I just want to be warm. I’ve had my eye on this sweater since I first saw it in the Vince lookbook over the summer. I don’t own it yet, but it’s definitely on my Christmas list.”

J.Crew – Leopard Flats

“To me, leopard is a neutral, in the sense that it can be paired with basically anything. Plus, I love the pointy toe on these flats, it’s a fresh update to the ballet flat.”

Jonathan Adler – First Lady Pillow

“I’ve been a fan of Jacqueline Kennedy since I read a biography on her in high school, so when I saw this pillow from Jonathan Adler, I had to have it. It’s also on our Lux and Concord holiday gift guide.”

Skiler Love – Laylove Bracelet

“I typically don’t wear clothes in bright colors, especially in the winter, so I rely on jewelry to add some interest to my outfits. My pick from Skiler Love is definitely the Laylove bracelet, which I’d wear layered with other bracelets and my watch on one wrist.”

Look 1: Low Rise Skinny Jean,$185.00// TOPSHOP – Crochet Vest,$72.00// Ivory Skull on Skilerlove.com,$12.50

Look 2: The Row-Hunting Dress,$550.00// Electra Body Chain on Skilerlove.com,$65.00

“I can’t stop wearing these. They’re such a great cut, and come in a variety of fun colors! Seriously, the outfit ideas are endless!”

Maybelline Red Revival Lipstick

“The Bostonista turned me onto this killer shade. I swear, it looks good on everyone!”
