FASHION FIX: Yellow fever hits Dubai, could spring be next?

With the winter doldrums hitting hard here in NYC, it's been refreshing to see the burst of yellow fever happening at this week's Dubai Duty Free Women's Open. Russians Vera Dushevina in Sergio Tacchini and Maria "Shriek"apova (who pulled out with viral infection) and Japan's Akiko Morigami in Fila were all spotted working this spring hue.

I say "bring it" and not just because it's one of my fave colors (see blog header). Will winter never end?

FASHION FIX: Morigami battles Kirilenko in stylish showdown

Fashion fight: Here's a matchup that was surely easy on the eyes - fashionably speaking. Japan's Akiko Morigami battled No. 27 seed Maria Kirilenko for a spot in the third round at the Australian Open. Although the Russian dismantled Akiko 6-1, 6-1, the fashion scoreline was much closer.

Both women showed up in one of our favorite trends -the flirty skirt. Maria was working a white tank-top and yellow skirt from Stella McCartney for adidas while Akiko showed up in a super-cute pink, white, and black Fila number. LOVE.
