Trends are an integral component to any fashion collection. While the word “trend” may evoke a feeling of fleeting fads, trends are actually what set apart chic style from boring basics! Anyone can wear a striped tee, but when it’s designed with thoughtful intention, beautiful fabrication, and enduring style, that striped tee instantly becomes a splendid staple! So journey with us behind-the-scenes of the Spring ’13 Photo Shoot and learn from our team of professional hair and makeup artists, jet-setting models, and expert stylists what our must-have trends for this season are! Ooh la la, CAbi Girls are so trend on!
Printocracy
Hear ye, hear ye – your prints await! Prints are always synonymous with every CAbi Collection, but this season, we’ve taken the patterns up a notch and given them something to talk about! Conversational prints like the Tweet Top and Seahorse Camisole are all the rage this spring!
Stripe Hype
What’s the hype with stripes?! Everything! Stripes add intentional dimension, giving your classic outfit an extra oomph of ooh la la!
Skinny Minnie
Hey you hot little thing! While that dinosaur diet may be the fad du jour, one thing is always for sure: long and lean proportions work for every body! Who can forget Coco’s wise words: “Fashion is architecture; it’s a matter of proportions.” That’s why we’ve brought you the Stella Jean and the Ruby Jean – two fits that flatter every figure!
The Separatist
The Separatist…sounds so bold and daring…and it is! Break up a suit, and pair the pieces back to something totally different! Open up that shirtdress and rock it as a topper over your jeans! Show the world you mean business, while oozing insouciant style!
Mint Condition
From Jordan Almond to Thin Mint, cool but creamy hues of green and blue are so on-trend this season! We saw a hint of this last year, and now the Mint Condition trend is back faster than you can say “Girl Scout Cookies!”
Jewelry
Statement jewelry is hotter than ever, and now is the perfect time to pack on the baubles! A bold brooch can add pizazz to a monochrome outfit, or a bold-baubled-necklace can actually ground a busy print! Whatever your jewelry quotient is, practice adding a chic shock of glam to your spring ensemble!

handbags
Did you know that French women so highly covet their handbags that they actually insure them?! Lucky for you, all the insurance you need for your handbag is to know how fabulously it pairs with your ensemble! From your all day tote to your evening clutch, an exquisite handbag adds the perfect touch!

Shoes
Summer booties, rope soles and anything with metal toes are all the rage this Spring ’13 fashion season! These über cool, but oh-so-cute summer boots are the perfect transition from winter to spring. Give your shoe closet a little zing with some metal-dipped toe bling! And don’t forget the sandal that doesn’t quit! A rope soled heel removes any memory of winter’s frosty chill!
