On a recent jaunt to LA, we noticed many a girl expertly pulling off a fab spring look that can often read as, um, tarty: short shorts worn with slouchy boots. The key to making it work? Paying attention to what's on top.

Sweet, youthful and loose, this Avery Button Top makes the look bohemian-chic rather than street-cheap. Score it right here at the always youthful, playful and fun Delias.

What would you do without her? Whether the mom you're celebrating is your mom, your wife, grandma or that special friend or sister, she deserves something that will delight, surprise and inspire.

Glamazons probably think 'green' and 'eco' sound about as appealing as Wal-Mart and a Big Mac, so will be that much more surprised by Green With Glamour.

Dedicated to all things eco-chic, the new e-tique serves up a bevy of lovely goods, including sky-high Charmone sandals, cruelty-free bone earrings, hip reconstructed Super Lucky Cat retro tunics and tops, and even fabulous homewares like spotted shell napkin rings, which would make the perf hostess gift.

We love the iWood sunglasses, which are crafted from sustainably harvested wood and have a very retro Kate Spade vibe -- perfect for our new sexy '60s beach-chic look we're going for this season.

The Passenger Pigeon Norah Reversible Wrap Dress is also fab -- we're suckers for versatility and getting two cool dresses in one is about as versatile as it gets.

Scope out the entire shop, which includes fashion-forward labels like Edun, Grace & Cello, Loomstate, Loyale, Carol Young Undesigned, Stewart+Brown and many more, right here at Greenloop.

In honor of Earth Day, we'll be highlighting all things green and eco-chic on the design scene this week. Fortunately for fashionistas and style lubbers everywhere, eco and chic are no longer mutually exclusive terms. Case in point? The new spring 2007 line from Ecoist handbags.

Hitting on one of spring's biggest trends, futuristic metallics, the one-of-a-kind handbags are crafted from discarded candy wrappers (sweet!), making doing good and looking good as easy as eating a Mr. Good Bar.

Scope out the whole line, including bags crafted from movie billboards and soda can tabs, right here at Ecoist.

While we love vacay as much as the next high-maintenance girl, we utterly loathe baggage claim. And no, it's not because of the waiting game -- it's because of the sea of sameness whirling around the carousel. Seriously, another black bag?

Break the cycle and say bon voyage to boh-ring with a Halsea bag. Made with the happiest beach-chic prints (we're suckers for seahorses), nab a new rollie and you'll never have to wonder which bag is yours again.

Be sure to check out the darling sunglasses cases, cosmetic bags, weekend bags, totes and tennis racket covers too -- pretty much everything you need to jetset in style, save for a martini and a mysterious stranger -- right here at Halsea.

Martha mavens know it's time to get in gear and do some spring cleaning. But it needn't be such an unsightly chore. Spruce things up on the home front with home-chic-home items that will inspire you to ditch the TiVo for some haute housekeeping instead.

We love this black-and-white ornamental ironing board cover at The Spoon Sisters so much that we just might start ironing again (even though we haven't in, say, seven years -- don't judge us!).

We'll also doll up with some designer dish gloves so when it's time to scrub-a-dub-dub our hands won't give our domestic goddess-loving ways away when we're rocking spring's new bling.

And, as if we could resist if we wanted to, we'll nab a matching Marilyn or Sweetheart apron by Carolyn's Kitchen too, so we'll look as good as our casa feels when we're playing 'Suzy Homefaker.'

Whether you prefer to be dripping in gold or are a minimalist maven, this spring there is something gorgeous for everyone in jewelry. Check out our top picks and trends for spring bling, from bold baubles like cocktail rings to vintage-inspired jewels and all the styles and colors of the rainbow in between.

Oprah and the Today show recently had on Rev. Bowen of Christ Church Unity to discuss his 'Complaint Free World' campaign (we won't complain about the lack of a hyphen in that title).

If you're not in the loop, you're basically supposed to sport a purple rubber bracelet, a la the Lance Armstrong ones, that reads 'a complaint free world' on one arm for 21 days (supposedly how long it takes to break a habit). If you catch yourself complaining, you move it to the other wrist.

While we're all for hearing peeps kvetch less and couldn't agree more that complaining sucks (seriously, what a downer), we're not as keen on the purple bracelets.

Instead, we propose that you rock one of these 'sometimes I get tired of my own b*tching' totes. If you wanna get hip to la revolucion and support it in your own way, pick up an Angry Little Girls tote here at Satinbox.

Fashionistas know the power of accessories. They can take you from drab to fab faster than you can blink your mascara-drenched eyes.
