Spring Danger: First Exposure to Sun

I'm definitely feeling Spring fever now that the snow around me is melting and the temperatures are reaching in the 50s.

I'm definitely feeling Spring fever now that the snow around me is melting and the temperatures are reaching in the 50s. It's inspiring me to exercise outdoors and take walks on my lunch break. If Spring is calling you outside as well, I need to act like a mom here for a sec and tell you to be careful of the sun's rays. In the Winter months, most of us have our skin covered by coats and mittens, and our face is probably the only thing exposed. Hopefully, you've already been wearing a daily moisturizer that contains SPF protection, but when you step out into the Spring sunshine for the first time in less clothing, your skin isn't used to the sun's strong rays. That can spell danger for anyone, especially those with pale or sensitive skin. Sunburn isn't the only thing you need to worry about, so keep reading

London-based Central St. Martins graduate Danielle Scutt's second collection for Topshop hits stores (and the online shop) this week. For Spring 2010, Scutt designed vividly-hued digital prints that appear on deconstructed swimwear, ruched dresses, and chiffon tops. Her inspiration runs the gamut from 50s demure — a floral playsuit in lime green and yellow — to 90s body-con — a dove-gray high-neck one-piece swimsuit. Click below for images.

Isabeli Fontana was photographed by Craig McDean for Gap's spring 2010 campaign. Karl Templer styled the knee-patched denim jeans and slightly lighter-wash button down in a vampy version of Chloe's denim-on-denim look for spring. Replace flat leather sandals with open toe stiletto booties and unbutton shirt to navel to achieve this more-revealing look for less.

Tory Burch and Famed Photographer Tina Barney Find Artistic Influence in Tory's Apartment!

When I caught a glimpse of Tory Burch's Spring 2010 collection, shot by famed photographer Tina Barney, it was obvious that the photo shoot's sophisticated, European-style set was meant to be an important part of the images.

When I caught a glimpse of Tory Burch's Spring 2010 collection, shot by famed photographer Tina Barney, it was obvious that the photo shoot's sophisticated, European-style set was meant to be an important part of the images. The décor in this shot alone is so captivating, and the wallpaper-esque apparel is hard to ignore. As it turns out, the apartment featured actually belongs to Tory Burch, and she hired Barney to shoot a series of limited-edition prints of a fictional family there. Barney is actually best-known for her photographs of well-to-do family and friends in equally glamorous settings, so it came naturally to her. You can get a peek at some of these in Barney's new book Players, set for release in May.

During a behind-the-scenes talk with Tory during the shoot, Barney had much to say about her enthusiasm for decorating. Here are a few excerpts:

On people matching their interiors:

What I've said in my book is I'm always curious of the way people tend to dress, the way that they decorate their houses, and that sort of is evident in my pictures. Their clothes sometimes sort of match their interiors and they're not even aware of that.

There's more to hear from Tory and Tina about finding influence in interiors and more gorgeous rooms in Tory's apartment to see!
