From Susie to Rumi, fashion's fortune-tellers predicts spring's top trends. By Megan Baldwin

We can still remember a time when magazine editors led the charge in setting the tone for trends. But these days, waiting around for a new issue of W to arrive seems about as fashion-forward as a pair of Uggs. As much as we adore our British Vogue, we, along with loads of other fashion loyalists are gathering up our spring inspirations online. And thanks to the virtual world's most influential—from Susie Bubble to Louise Ebel—we know exactly who to turn to on an hourly basis.


Louise Ebel, Pandora

With her romantic take on hard-edged-grunge, Louise's look is part-Courtney Love part-art-history student. This season her eclectic neo-Parisian style goes from cropped black-fur boleros to tiered ruffled dresses and tunics worn with black lace-up booties and a feathered head-dress.

Her spring must-haves:Tikirani Floral Flounce Ruffle Dress, $88, available at Urban Outfitters; MiniMarket Wedge Boots, $271, available at Très Bien Shop; School Boy Readers, $14, available at Urban Outfitters.


Rumi Neeley, Fashion Toast

Rumi says her style is "alarmingly animalistic." Which basically means, she wears what she wants. Lately that's a lot of Topshop, paired with pleated mini-skirts, Alexander Wang booties, and her signature black backpack.

Her spring must-haves: Emma Cook for Topshop Boots; Black Leather Backpack, starting bid $13.50, available at Treasure Chest Vintage; T by Alexander Wang Tank Top, $79, available at Oak; Alexander Wang Denim and Leather Motorcycle Jacket, $1,495, available at Creatures of Comfort.


Susie Bubble, Style Bubble

Even with a sprained ankle Susie manages to inspire us. Lately we've been loving her futuristic-meets-gothic lean, seen in pouf-sleeved jackets layered over long sheer dresses.

Her spring must-haves: Emma Cook Black Chiffon Dress, $440, available at Creatures of Comfort; Opening Ceremony Black Gingham Tiered Skirt, $345, available at Creatures of Comfort.
