At the time of this writing, our part of the world is socked in under two feet of snow.  We haven’t seen the sun in days and don’t know when we will again.  We want to see something bright and sunny right about now.  Perhaps you do too.

As designers, models, editors, photogs and fashionistas descend on NYC next week to show off their Fall/Winter 2010 designs, we’ve got our eye on what you’ll be wearing in just a few weeks.  (Not to worry.  We’ll report on the highlights of Fall Fashion Week too.)  While the colors of the coming season get their inspiration from tropical waters, we’re in the mood for a bit of sun.  Blame it on the snow …

Many of the Spring 2010 collections include pieces that run the color gamut from bright yellow to butterscotch to chartreuse and are a perfect counterpoint to the various hues of blues so many designers favored. For some of the best of the brightest, check out INC International Concepts Collection, at Macys.  The line is not only spot on when it comes to color, but their feminine and often ruffled separates are flattering to many body types and on trend for the season.  Among our favorites: INC International Concepts Ruffle Knit Jacket, $99.; INC Cap Sleeve Colorblock Bandage Dress, $99., both at Macys.com.

Not mellow with head to toe yellow?  Use the hue to spark your spring wardrobe.  Sun-kissed accessories abound.  Ones we particularly like:  Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere silk and leather handbag, $1395. at Balenciaga Boutique, NYC and Tory Burch’s chic and sporty nylon Channing tote, $250. from ToryBurch.com and Bloomingdales.com.

It’s a brave blue world out there.  Be yellow.
