Spring 2013’s ready to wear collections can been summed up as one thing, an utterly fabulous sugar shock! Labels such as Betsey Johnson, Alice & Olivia, Philosophy and more have blazed the runways with sweet looks sure to hit the spot. I\u2019ve taken the liberty of matching up these sweet looks with their sugar filled soul mates to bring you a refreshing look at what will be coming up next season. Let\u2019s see how some designers approached \u201cDressing Sweeter\u201d.<\/p>\n

Alice & Olivia<\/p>\n

Alice & Olivia demonstrated a sassy sweet tooth for the spring season. This line is full of vibrant playful colors that bring 60\u2019s glamor back with a vengeance.<\/p>\n

One of A&O\u2019s new looks capitalizes on the lush vibrant blue we\u2019ve all come to know and love.<\/p>\n

M&M\u2019s come in an array of colors, but if willing to be bold you can make mouths water too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Pop quiz! What\u2019s the most precious jewel in the world\u2026rock candy! Lemon to be exact. This vibrant canary yellow dress has a seductively sweet sass sure to make your lips pucker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red has always been a tempting color, but when paired up with cake and cream cheese frosting, you\u2019ve got a timeless classic! Just to stay contemporary we\u2019ve lessened the serving size to a mini skirt and perched it on top of a lollypop. Who needs your grandmother\u2019s cake dome, you\u2019re a sexy display all by yo bad self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Black liquorish isn\u2019t for the faint of heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Philosophy<\/p>\n

Philosophy took a more angular modern approach to their line, lots of patterns and prints. The juxtaposition of color in this line is fairly reminiscent to the hard candy.<\/p>\n

This lovely blue and tan combination hugs the body gently enough to show off a feminine figure but not restrict or over exaggerate it. The beautiful curve this outfit creates is reminiscent to that of ribbon candy. Neither are over powering nor understated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Peppermint\u00a0is as versatile as it is tasty. We use it all year round, then in December we change its shape to a cane with pinstripes and all of a sudden its everywhere you go! When I think of peppermint candy I think of freshness and holiday joy. ‘Tis the season, to be a hottie. But, then again every season is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Betsy Johnson<\/p>\n

Betsy Johnson is known for producing fun and flirty lines, so it\u2019s no surprise that she is featured as one of our sassy sweet designers.<\/p>\n

This perfectly pink pastel looks light as air and fluffy just like one of my favorite sweets, cotton candy. Honestly it\u2019s a wonderfully playful look that sends a delicate yet spunky message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
