Do you like this?

One can see evidence of the popularity of animal prints, floral imagery and ethnic inspiration in the diverse levels of merchants such as Chico's, Nordstrom, and Anthropologie. I can confidently predict that these large retailers, and many small retailers, will be stocked this spring, summer and fall with all of the three of these design styles.

For your web-surfing pleasure, I have provided a few stores with links below. You can also be old-fashioned and actually visit these retailers throughout the state of Virginia. Go out and have a little retail therapy with your friends, and get up close and personal with some of these hot trends.

Whether large retailers or small boutiques, here are some of my favorite stores offering a broad selection of accessories, with locations in Virginia:

The Big Ones

Nordstrom: Dulles, McLean, Arlington, Richmond, Norfolk

Chico's: Alexandria, Arlington, Charlottesville, Chesapeake, Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Leesburg, Lynchburg, McLean, Newport News, Norfolk, Reston, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Winchester

Anthropologie: Charlottesville, McLean, Reston, Richmond

Saks Fifth Avenue: Leesburg, McLean, Potomac Mills, Richmond

Small but beautiful:

The Pink Palm: Richmond, McLean, Charlottesville

Gossypia: Alexandria

Lou Lou’s Too, 18 East Washington Street, Middleburg 540-687-4204

    Joanie,
    Thanks for sharing the latest trends. I always love to know what is "in." And I too adore scares, so I appreciate your passion for finding amazing fabrics which feel good, like cashmere, and look stunning. Add some earrings and, voila, it's a great day
