Spring Shoes & Accessories Report

We’ve highlighted Spring’s biggest and best trends over the last month, but we can’t forget our favorite (and what we consider most important) category….shoes and accessories!  As we often see in fashion, accessories tend embody the biggest trends of the season, and are a great way to try new looks in small doses.  See how 70’s inspired, Tribal, Florals and Sporty make their statement in accessories…

Pumps have feminine ankle straps, and can be found in pretty pastels and statement prints of the season.  The t-strap shape is ultra feminine and a nod to vintage.  The pointy toe flat continues to impress.

 The Sporty trend remains strong, with vintage and slip-on sneakers making for a laid back look.  Birkenstocks, flat slides and sporty soles are making their mark.  Pair them with feminine pieces to balance the masculine feel.

 Statement jewelry is still a favorite, with fringe and tassels making them feel fresh and updated.  The statement earring has come on strong, with cluster earrings, and earring jackets on the scene. Paired with your LBD or even a plain white tee, these statement pieces can make a look.

Bucket bags feel new and easy and are a good size for sunscreen, a good book and a bottle of water for summer days to come!  We’re loving all of the fringe and tassel details on bags across bag silhouettes.  Belts look new again with the obi shape and knotted detail – a perfect nod to the 70’s vibe.

Spring ’15 Trend: 70s Inspired

Our next Spring ’15 trend is 70s Inspired. This trend really covers a lot of the spring trends we will be talking about in the next few weeks – so consider it a preview of trends to come, and a great guideline when shopping for trend updates for your wardrobe!  Like we discussed with floral prints, the 70s trend is a nice change from where we’ve been for the past few seasons.  Pant legs are getting wider (and the waist band has moved up!), we’re seeing flat and platform sandals, tons of jumpsuits and rompers, flowy tops and kimonos, a lot of pattern, crochet and lace, and lots of trim details: fringe, tassels, and pom poms.

Shoe Guide: Fall 2014

Boots and boots and boots and boots!  And why not?  They are perfectly practical for the cooler weather that is upon us, and it’s not every day chic fashion and practicality find common ground.  They’ve taken just about every form possible and can work on your most casual days and your fanciest nights out….Ankle boots, riding boots, over-the-knee boots, moto boots and booties.  Take your pick…or 2 or 3.

Pointy toes in heels and flats are still ever present, along with various animal prints to wear with absolutely everything.  We’re seeing “cage” heels and lace-ups as the fresh, new silhouettes.  In keeping with the booming sporty trend, lots of sneakers are on the scene, from high-tops to slip ons and everything in between.

The shoe completes the look so don’t always go for the “safe choice”…  be bold, have fun and show some personality!
