Shake Up Your Wardrobe with These Finds This spring's accessories truly embody the season: Flower prints call to mind May flowers; nude colors remind us it's time to show some skin; and we hear the birds chirping in every feather earring. Take a look at what else the spring season has in store at a store near you. In the Buff You’ll look runway-ready in no time with these sexy nude platforms. Nude accessories are a huge trend this season. We love the combination of a sexy heel and platform in this versatile Olivia sandal ($140 at Banana Republic). Plus, it will match everything in your wardrobe for years to come! Flower Power Flowers are in bloom everywhere this season! From floral prints to rosette appliques, you can’t go wrong with this trend for spring. Try this funky metallic rose ring ($6 at Wet Seal) to sweeten up any outfit. Fringe Messenger Bags With the comeback of fringe, jackets, bags and even shoes are swinging free this season, so unleash your inner cowgirl. The convenient messenger bag, like the one displayed with this Eve bag ($44.50 at Delia's), are not for geeky guys anymore, but chic fashionistas on the go. Skinny Belts Upgrading your style is a cinch with this python print belt ($59 at Banana Republic). Team it with yummy candy-colored sweaters (open or closed) for a fresh-from-the-runway look. Exotic animal prints also are a must-have for the season, so you can kill two trends with one belt! Bib Necklaces Chunky, bib necklaces in flashy stones have descended upon us in a hue of combinations. If you're looking to splurge, check out this stunning gold statement piece from Kenneth Jay Lane ($375 at Saks Fifth Avenue). This gorgeous five-strand necklace will take any outfit in your closet to va-va-voom territory instantly. Cut-Out Sandals This is a head-to-toe trend that makes for a great spring shoe. These Dolce Vita Birdcage Heels ($99.99 at Urban Outfitters) are surprisingly comfortable despite the 4.5-inch heel! Pair them with your favorite spring outfits with ease. Feather Earrings Bright, funky colors just scream spring, but if bold colors are just not your style, you can incorporate this spring trend with a simple accessory. These colorful feather and bead danglers ($20 at Urban Outfitters) are perfect for those looking for a dash of color to attract just the right amount of attention. Braided Headbands Unleash your inner ‘70s groupie with this boho-chic style. From Nicole Richie to Katherine Heigl, celebrities have been sporting slim, braided headbands like this one ($10 at Urban Outfitters), in single and double strands. You can pick from metallics, leather, beads, fabric, thread, chains and more. Wear them low over your bangs or high to accentuate an evening updo. '80s Neon Although we may cringe when we look back at our pictures from the ‘80s, we can’t deny the era was a lot of fun. This spring we bring back a bold ‘80s trend—neon—but we tone down the volume with this colorblock L.AM.B Rouse clutch ($262.50 at ShopBop.com). Spice up any outfit with this bold choice. Chunky Metallics Metallic bangles make a reappearance this season but with a bolder, edgier twist. With square shapes, embossing, studded and chain accents, this trend gets a much more industrial look. Stack up these chunky cuffs in different shapes and designs for a gritty, street-glam style. The Addison Oxidized Cuff ($194 at ShopBop.com) pairs beautifully with a plain black or white shirt for a low-key punk rock look. Oversized Watches This season, watches are not just telling time, they are doubling as bold spring jewelry. Remember when sporty meant bulky, ugly and boring black? This gorgeous gold chronograph watch by Toy Watch ($295 at Saks Fifth Avenue) gives sporty a glam makeover. The metal accents make it great for evening wear, too. Embellished Clutches Make a style statement with the hottest bag trend of the season. Embellished clutches like this Anguila Flat Ava by Kate Spade ($202.63 at Zappos.com) are a rage in straw, fabric, leather, patent and every other material imaginable. Multi-sized studs, rhinestones, crystals and beads adorn these chic accessories.
