And Finally, Banana Republic Shoes Hit the Canadian Market! LOVE!

While Banana Republic sent shorts and skirts down the runway, silky cropped pants also played a key role in the Spring 2010 line up. We love it. Long-legged girls rejoice - clean-cut chinos and jeans were cut right above the ankle for a refreshing, chic look. On the accessories front, we love the straw fedoras and leather-mule sandals. Affordable and amazing this is the only fast fashion with high style integrity.

Style-savvy women are bound to fall in love with the great leather motor jackets in white and cognac, classic khaki trench coats and easy, colorful day dresses. As for accessories, the season's obsession with the clog continues. Models rocked what might be one of the best (and most affordable) styles we've seen thus fargray and tan leather slingbacks with an open toe.

Banana Republic is giving us all a breath of fresh air. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. This is the best line of affordable neutral-tailored separates accented with colorful, silky splashes this spring.
