Nicole Miller One Sleeved Hammer Silk Dress $355.00

When I started to see prints sneaking their way into my favorite retail establishments last year, my blood pressure when up a few points. When I heard that prints were BIG for Spring 2011, I cringed at the thought of wearing large, multi-colored flowers, EVEN in the name of fashion. And then I saw the Nicole Miller One Sleeved Hammer Silk Dress. My blood pressure declined and the smile returned to my Mac Lip-Glassed lips. This was print that I could work with, and it’s not the only one. The beautiful array of water color prints that are available for Spring 2011 are a gorgeous, understated and sophisticated way to wear prints that anyone can wear.
