Spring is my FAVORITE season for fashion, so I revel in each and every look that walks the runway in anticipation of the great colors, silhouettes, and trends coming down the pipeline. How else can one endure a New York winter without the glimmer of stylish spring hope ahead? Below are select highlights from a handful of the Paris Spring 2013 collections, noted for the unique use of print, color, texture, silhouette, and overall design. Enjoy!

Are you ready for THE next big thing? Victoria’s Secret’s largest store, with an entire floor dedicated to PINK, is opening soon at Herald Square this November! Currently you can get your PINK-only fix at the two exclusively PINK stores in NYC; one in SoHo at Prince and Broadway and the other at Kings Plaza in Brooklyn.
A GREAT, unique aspect of the PINK-only shops is that you can have a little DIY bling-fest for free (with any purchase over $50) on the last weekend of every month via the brand’s bling machine. Bedazzle and deck out your new gear to truly make it your own.
And without further ado….the PINK LOVES NEW YORK CONTEST DETAILS! In a PINK contest brought to you by ELLE, and in honor of the exclusively PINK SoHo and Kings Plaza stores, and the opening of the VS with PINK Herald Square store, I’ve got an amazing giveaway to share with you.

Walking the line between casual, edgy, and an all- encompassing Parisian aesthetic, MM6 Maison Martin Margiela for spring 2013 was a mixture of neon footwear, lucite accessories, must-have handbags, and muted pastels and neutrals. No shape was overly body conscious, but rather took on loose, flowing forms, perfectly layered to show off the mastery of each piece’s cut. We’re putting money on the shoes, particularly the orange sneakers, as the blockbuster items from the collection for spring. Click on the slideshow above to view our top nine favorite looks.
