Spring Favorites

A few must-haves on my latest lust list for spring!


Floral pants- Sometimes, I go through stages where I absolutely love certain floral patterns and others, I don't. In this case, I am loving floral printed bottoms. Obviously, floral prints are always a huge trend for spring. They are normally on blouses and dresses, but pants are where I have been noticing them a lot lately. I wrote about printed pants just recently seen here and I said it is all about balance. When styling this look, keep your pants the main focus. Add a neutral blouse, such as black, beige, or cream. If you're feeling brave, add a fuchsia or citrine blouse and play with color. As for shoes, you can go really simple with a pointed black flat or add some height in chunky wedges. I am all about versatility and printed floral pants let you create so many different looks for day or night. 

Neon belt- A pop of color is always a good idea, especially when it's a pop of neon. Whenever I put on color, it just makes me happier. I love the unexpectedness of having a bold bright in your outfit, whether it is your clutch or in this case, your belt. You can wear a neon belt over your favorite LBD for a night out with the girls or wear a neon belt with boyfriend capris and a basic black tee for a casual daytime look. I love an all neon ensemble, but sometimes it's just as fun to add color in the most unexpected ways. 

Round sunglasses- Something about the relaxed shape of these sunglasses make me feel like they're the ultimate spring accessory. Structured glasses are now a thing of the past. The cat-eye was big last spring/summer. However, this season, it is all about free-spiritedness and round sunglasses are the perfect accessory. The Prada glasses above are probably the most coveted round sunglasses for every fashionista in the industry. Their swirly side design makes them unique and whimsical.  

Pointed heels- I am really loving feminine heels right now. Honestly, I was happy to see there were not a lot of platforms on the runway this season. Pointed heels are making their way back into fashion and they are the perfect shoes to accompany any outfit in your closet. To me, a pointed-toe shoe exudes femininity and polishes off any look.  I chose a nude pointed heel on my lust list, because the wearability is endless. 

Pastel colored nails- Lavender, periwinkle, and peach are all my favorite nail colors to wear this spring. Pastels were a big trend on the runway from Phillip Lim, Louis Vuitton, and Ralph Lauren. Although these colors were all over the spring runways, I wouldn't recommend them for everyone. I have very fair skin and these particular colors completely wash me out. That's why I prefer to wear them on my nails! I really think pastel colored nails are a fresh alternative to the electric hues we're used to seeing for nail polishes.
