Spring has sprung!

The sun is shining, birds are chirping and best of all.....SPRING FASHION IS HERE!! Retailers nation wide are exposing their bright color palettes and showing off their new collections. It could be easy to get lost in the shuffle of a new season, so it's ultra important to make your own list of your new Spring "must haves". If you don't narrow it down to a top list, everything could end up being a "must have". Here are my top picks from this seasons new trends...


The ENVELOPE CLUTCH. It is effortlessly chic to take you from day to night. You can fit your phone, lip stick, credit cards and many more essentials in these large sized pouches. Nothing is les chic than seeing a bulging clutch, so with an oversized option like this, the look stays chic while comfortably holding all the goods. Even Kate Moss (picture below) chose the trend in an always chic leopard print.
Best place to buy affordable versions: Topshop, BCBG, Tory Burch, Ted Baker


THE PLEATED SKIRT. It would not be spring without skirts. It's time to put the jeans away for a bit and let your stems show. I am loving the pleated options that designers have gone for this year. Pleats are a bit flirtatious without going over the top. They are a great option for most body types; They hide tummys that may be around still from the holidays, and high waisted options that are a bit fuller could give boyish shapes a better curve. Country singer, Taylor Swift, chose a golden yellow option for a casual stroll.
Best place to find affordable versions: H&M, J.Crew, Aqua in Bloomingdales




The ANKLE STRAP HEEL. Spring time is about dressing like a lady (Steel Magnolias, anyone?). There is nothing more ladylike than the dainty ankle strap heel. These are a personal favorite of mine because the strap gives you more stability to walk confidentally down the street without worry that your foot will come sliding out. These heels have been seen on the feet of Hollywood's brightest stars, such as SJP (seen below). And we have to agree, don't the shoes just look fabulous???
Best place to buy affordable versions: Steve Madden, Dolce Vita
