Recent disasters in Haiti, Chile and elsewhere around the world have shown that the entire world can rally together to help others during a time of desperation (regardless of the economy, unemployment or any other personal setbacks we’ve all experienced in the last few years). Individuals and groups have donated money, sent supplies and volunteered around the globe even while facing their own financial crisis.

Many companies have also supported causes by donating resources and portions of profits to disaster relief funds.

Neutral Tones:
Looking for a clean look this spring? Add some neutral colors to your current collection. They will play off existing prints or bright colors you probably already own.

A great way to add some pop to your fashion this season! Add some metallic. A little trim on a shirt adds a trendy accent. Another easy way to add a punch of metallic, make your shoes shine!

Feathers:
There is something extra fun about adding feathers to your outfit. Accessorize, add them to your hair and be creative for a subtle look. Want something more “over the top”? Step it up by incorporating feathers into your actual garment. (Even a play on fabric can give the appearance of feathers.) Popular feather placements this season: skirts, around the neckline and shoulders. Think you can pull off the Brandon Flowers look?
