Our very own Samantha Lim sat down with What Not to Wear’s Clinton Kelly to discuss three trends this summer that every woman can incorporate into her own wardrobe as well as Macy’s Million Dollar Makeover contest. When I asked Sam how she scored the interview, she seemed frazzled then ran off muttering something about forgetting Stacy London in the trunk of a taxi…

This week’s trend is Neon Lights. This translates into big and bold colors all over the place.

The abundance of both traditional and stylized turbans in existence have fallen into fashion as of late, as you may be aware. I’ve been wrapping my cashmere scarf ’round my head all fall and winter long like this. Based originally out of necessity to shelter my ears from the cold, and the terrible noise I was subjected to at Death By Audio in Williamsburg on Halloween the night of my turban epiphany, I grew to adore its versatility and insta-chic effect. Now with Spring so close, I’m adapting my personal turban-tying method to lighter materials: silk, chiffon and the traditional cotton. Watch my instructional video for a way to turn just about any scarf into a fabulous turban. Then check the authentic Indian, African and other international lessons on how to master the real shebang.

Credit as you may Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Florence Welch and her machine, for the resurgence in long-sleeved gowns. This fashion month, however, few did it better than Valentino in his ready-to-wear collection. Demure, sheer infused and regal, these pieces make modesty sensually sexy.

In a collection sprung from the forties, Miuccia Prada has downplayed the playfulness in the clothes, morphing to a more austere silhouette. Where a glamorous modesty thrives throughout, the new Miu Miu sunglasses embody the ludic quality that could not be entirely contained. Shown first with the cat’s eye furrow, tortoise shell frame and yellow lens, they spell optimism. The shades that follow have a less exaggerated cat’s eye, but wilder frames – crystalized crimson, and glittering silver and gold. These shapely shades are some seriously covetable sunglasses for the Fall 2011 season.

In Sarah Burton‘s vision for Fall 2011 Alexander McQueen, one of the many components she nailed spot-on are the thigh-high open-front lace-up platform heeled boot. In gray. This evokes the “Icy Queen and Her Court” as she envisioned it, while also capturing exactly what we will most certainly be needing in roughly six months’ time. With the peekaboo sliver, I envisage a frenzy of patterned, textured, hued tights that won’t be lost under the many boots to which we’ve grown accustomed. Now just imagine the possibilities if you were to untie, fold and morph the leather, just for kicks. With that, this McQueen boot is a shoe-in for Autumn. In fact, I can already see Lady Gaga working these in my mind.
