Chunky jewelry is the best way to take an outfit from plain to pretty. Oriental influenced and retro pieces are the signature qualities to look for when selecting jewelry for the upcoming season. You can hit the department and specialty stores to find fabulous chunky pieces, but a one-of-a -kind piece found at a vintage location or in your grandma's jewelry box will be a great conversation starter.

Fitted button downs are a great way to look tailored yet femine this season. The crocheted embellishments across the midsection of this top set it apart from all the rest. Keep an eye out for crocheted lace and eyelet patterns.

The natural waist cinching belt is replacing the low slung loop. This particular piece is especially interesting because it incorporates leather and cloth. This spring jump at the chance to mix textures and patterns.

Grecian influenced sandals are the new Birkenstock or Dr. Martens. No more bland leather straps and simple buckles; this year is all about colorful accessories accented with large beads and buckles.

You might think white denim took its final bow in the 90s but it's back for an encore. No it isn't slimming or flattering, it doesn't stay clean and it probably won't be around for long but for now it's back. The theme of the season is neutral tones accented with pops of color, so squeeze into these white devils if you dare.
