When it comes to must-have pumps for adding to our shoe wardrobes, is white the new nude? Maybe not quite, but considering the season’s fascination with black-and-white color-blocking and spring-friendly white accessories, white pumps have been rapidly growing in popularity. Easy to coordinate with almost anything, not to mention totally flattering against a Spring Break tan, white pumps are clean and stylish, but it can also read a little too 80s-tastic when not done correctly. To keep the look modern, it’s important to switch things up a bit with more fashion-forward details like hardware, metallic details, ombre details, and sexy straps, just to name a few! Rock ‘em with your favorite LBD for some eye-catching contrast, or keep it casual with your favorite pair of skinny jeans and a colorful leather jacket. Browse some of my favorite picks in the links below!

Now that we’ve officially welcomed 2013 with open arms (and open wardrobes!), Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year, emerald, opens up plenty of exciting opportunities when it comes to beauty, clothing, and accessories – especially jewelry! While last year’s big jewelry trends included chunky bib necklaces, neon accents, and of course, plenty of spikes, 2o13′s baubles are going in an even bolder direction with statement stones and bold geometric shapes, namely in the shade of the year, emerald! And if you’re excited to try adding emerald to your jewelry collection for the new year, but not so stoked about the price that normally comes with actual emerald jewelry, I’ve rounded up some great on-trend pieces to help you rock the look for less! Bold bangles, graphic earrings, and more spikes – peep some of our favorites in the links below!

Just when I think I’ve exhausted all the possible excuses to stock up on more booties and decide I should probably cool it on my shoe addiction, a new trend emerges that has me convinced I need another pair (or several). Western-inspired, wedge, studded combat styles, and more – booties serve as an easy fall footwear go-to, since they can so easily transition and be dressed up or down, from day to night, and from work to play! The latest bootie obsession on my radar is the snake-printed boot. After all, the fashion world’s obsession with prints isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That said, don’t let the wild pattern intimidate you – the neutral tones make them easy to match with almost anything, including other prints – and they’re a saucy, sassy way to upgrade your current bootie arsenal!

From our friends at thefind.com:
Animal prints have made their way back onto the style scene after a few decades of being exiled to the realm of tacky extinguished fads, and now it’s time for animal graphics to get another chance in the style spotlight! Forget what you know about animal motifs and cheesy knit sweaters – these modernized, ironic takes on knitwear may be partly inspired by the horrendous gifts our grandmothers used to create for us every Christmas, but they’ve got a much better sense of humor. Cute, quirky, and perfectly cozy for the nippy fall weather ahead, animal motif sweaters are a fun way to add flair and character to an otherwise boring work ensemble. Tuck in to a pencil skirt for a silly meets sophisticated look, or rock with leather-effect coated jeans and some combat boots for a sweet-yet-edgy contrasting ensemble.
