Season's Must Haves

What are you waiting for?

It's time to whip out the bright prints. You know, the ones you've been holding back for the perfect occasion. Well, your opportunity has arrived.

Every day just so happens to be the perfect occasion for spring's bold prints. Mix them, don't match them. But do have fun with them! Stripes with florals. Paisleys with geometrics. Abstracts with animal motifs.

Too cold for some of your favorite print dresses? Layer them — under or over. No more excuses. Embrace all that spring has to offer!

While bold denim has been on the scene for over a year, this spring it's gone to a whole new level. I recommend this fun form of expression to most of my clients. You'd be surprised how a bold color can suddenly pass itself off as a neutral, pairing perfectly with a ton more than you imagined. Pick your poison — there are over two dozen varieties on the market. What resonates with you?

Splish splash fabulous!

This season, shoes get infused with color to the max
! I am loving just about everything with sass. The fun comes in all shapes and sizes from flats to wedges to heels. So there's no reason not to bring home a little happiness in a box.

Aww, the colors of the season! Brilliantly bold. Deliciously daring. And definitely inspiration-inviting.

Not only is the color of the year a must have for spring, when you add a vivid yellow or citron to the list, you can be sure it's a spring/summer and fall/winter hit! In clothing, jewelry, shoes or handbags, you simply cannot go wrong with these two fabulously fun colors!

lf you love accessories, then spring 2012 is your season! From mega earrings to stacked bangles to ladylike shoes, you can have it all! And wear it all together.

Chances are, you have all three of these items sitting in your closet just waiting to be loved. Whip out those enormous statement earrings and wear them with a sheath dress. Or, layer several bracelets on your arm with a tee and colorful cropped jeans. And if you don't have a gorgeous pair of chic heels, here's your excuse to pick some up!
