April 3, 2007 — -- Spring has officially sprung, so break out of that winter funk with designer Isaac Mizrahi's five favorite things for spring. With his tips and trends, you'll be warm-weather ready in no time.

Think pink with a pink gingham dress ($325; www.isaacmizrahiny.com) from Mizrahi's new online collection. The shirtwaist dress in lightweight silk taffeta has a fitted bodice complemented by a full skirt with matching belt and mother-of-pearl buttons. It's great for any figure and just screams spring.

Incorporate gold into your wardrobe with gold ballet flats. They go with anything, look great on anyone and are comfortable. The best thing is, you can find them anywhere -- from Fifth Avenue to Target. ($195; www.toryburch.com)

When it comes to makeup, women should wear warmer colors for warmer weather. To do that, Mizrahi recommends Bobbi Brown Surf and Sand Eye Palette ($42; www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com), a new, limited-edition eye palette that features 10 exclusive ultrasheer shadows with pearlized pigments. The sheer, shimmering shades of soft pink, aqua and beige are modern, wearable colors. They also work for a range of complexions and ages.

Add glitz to your dining room table this spring with recycled aluminum bark candlesticks (2 for $125; www.vivaterra.com). These candlesticks are molded to resemble tree branches and add a classy touch to any dinner table. With their bark detail, the candles are especially appropriate for outdoor dining.

With the Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream and Sorbet Maker, you can make fat-free sorbets, low-fat frozen yogurts and rich ice creams. It's great for backyard parties and for people who are calorie-conscious. ($49.95; Williams Sonoma)
