A trend we can’t wait to rock, is the Floral Pant! ASOS Curve Floral Pants are right on trend with the bold florals from head to toe found on blazers, pants and pencil skirts!

Not having to worry about what bag you should switch into at night is both time efficient and worry-free when it comes to that nightly dilemma of “which items in my day-purse will make the final cut in switching to the night-purse?” We LOVE the tangerine color trend that has been emerging for Spring and when it comes to your bag, this color is the perfect look for either your day time routine or your night out on the town!

What a great way to start the new year with a Redbook magazine mention in their January 2012 issue! The article features post-pregnancy tummy-hiding tips with two of the models wearing dresses from Kiyonna.

Anna (above) is wearing the Kiyonna Tory Clinch Dress in Bitter Sweet Garnet.

Christina (above left) is wearing the Kiyonna Betsey Ruched Dress in Temptress Teal. Tummy-hiding or not, these dresses flatter and look amazing on the models!
