Whimsical fashion touches are always fun. A favorite find is this white cotton blouse with dice buttons, $128, topped with a ``Chinese Checker'' print silk jacket, $212, both by Dana Buchman and available at Statement Ltd., Hilltop.
The outfit would be perfect for the Chrysler Museum of Art's casino fund-raiser at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. For ticket information, call the museum at 664-6233.
Tie one on
What hot accessory will replace last year's favorite, the Y-necklace? Maybe lariats.
They can be worn in various lengths. Shown are several interpretations of the theme in silver and gold, with crystal-bead accents, by area designer Connie Hanna. Ranging in price from $38 to $46, these gems are available at Luna in Norfolk.
Citrus coolers
If these colors are any indication, we're in for a bright spring.
Patent-leather purses with cording and tassel details add shades of lemon, lime and orange to any spring suit. Prices range from $48 to $58 at Lili's of Ghent in Norfolk.
Nail it
A recent WWD cover story broke the news that a new line of nail polish called Candy Man, by a California company called Hard Candy, could be the next craze in men's fashion.
According to the article, men prefer deep, dark colors that send a masculine message. For men ready to try it, the line will be available only at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus department stores for now. Sounds like a trend that will take quite a while to reach our area. ILLUSTRATION: [Color Photos]
