Iridescence
We hope you have your sunglasses handy because it's about to get bright this spring. We're not talking about the punchy florals that crop up this time every year. Rather, glowy iridescent fabrics turned every spring/summer runway into a shiny metallic and rainbow laser show. And now, fashion bloggers and A-listers are ablaze with their own take on Fashion Week's holographic trend. The looks we're loving instantly make a statement -- iridescent pieces have all the boldness of neon mixed with the high shine of sequins, after all. Kiss any lingering bouts of SAD behind -- this luminous trend is just what the doctor ordered.

Made You Blink
Phillip Lim's Spring/Summer collection epitomized the term "surfer-chic." From the wet hair look to the shiny luxe sweatshirts, these iridescent surfer sunnies made the whole look sparkle like an ocean at sunset.
