I love traveling almost as much as I love shopping. Tibi rolls my favorite pastimes into one with bold prints and feminine silhouettes perfect for a trip to St. Tropez or Ibiza.

Today, Tibi and Bloomingdale’s are teaming up and giving the NYC set the perfect chance to start on Spring shopping. A fabulous gift comes with every purchase (don’t worry I won’t spoil the fun) and a beautiful runway piece will be given away to one lucky winner (the piece featured to the right).

I caught up with Tibi’s fashion experts ahead of time to get some spring/summer wardrobe ideas and to talk about some key pieces in the Spring 2010 collection.

What are some key pieces from Tibi’s Spring 2010 Collection?

The Cala Lilly Cap sleeve dress has been selling out like crazy! For a more glam casual look, we have a couple draped blazers in the collection that look amazing paired with our pastel colored ruffle shorts.

Cropped jackets in fun textures – Tibi has an amazing suede blazer for spring that completely complements a flowy dress, and having something to slip over a dress or tank when it cools off at night is a travel savior.

Day Dress – We have a few jersey pieces in the Spring collection that you can completely ball up and won’t wrinkle, so amazing for living out of a suitcase.  Personal favorite is the Bouvier Jersey One Shoulder Printed Dress: it’s a perfect mix of downtown style and travel sensibility.

LBD – You always need to have a dress for a glitzy night out to make you feel like a rock star. Our Oleander Beading Slip Dress has a vintage silhouette with allover beading for a fun update.

Go short and show off your legs. Also sheer tops with embroidery or crochet detail in more conservative cuts perfectly mix coy and casual.  Until the weather warms up, throw a trench over everything and you’re guaranteed to look chic.

Always wear sunscreen and never miss a chance to wear color. The Tibi line includes so many fun prints and saturated hues, and summer is the perfect excuse to brighten up your wardrobe.
