Bold Color
With a change of weather comes a change of colors, and I can't wait to start wearing pops of color like this coral (which is probably less red in person). This cutout dress from BP. Nordstrom reminds me of polished Versace, and I am currently trying to think of an excuse to order it online.

Peplum
The 2012 Oscars red carpet coined the term that this year is also the 'Year of the Peplum', and as a girl who loves feminine details & frills, I'm all for it. Top from BP. Nordstrom.
Flirty details
When I think Spring, I also think of collected, fun fashion. Spring is a time to be carefree and easygoing in your wardrobe choices, and this sweet scalloped hem top (from BP. Nordstrom) is a great example of this philosophy. I didn't believe it when I first saw it on the runway, but bird print seems to be in, no?

Florals
I am absolutely obsessed with floral print shorts, but I am also really picky when it comes to finding the perfect pair. However, I'm pretty sold these; they have the light wash and subdued feel that I've been looking for! Shorts from BP. Nordstrom.
Sandals
One of my favorite parts of Spring is the footwear. Don't get me wrong, I love my flats, but sandals will always have a special place in my heart, especially considering the fact that they elevate my height by a good couple of inches. Naughty Monkey sandals from Nordstrom (love the serpentine textured platform heel!).
In all honestly, my online shopping posts will probably mainly pull items from Nordstrom, since that's the only store that I really order from online (free shipping, how can a girl resist?). If you have any suggestions for websites though, be sure to let me know! Happy shopping :)
