With flowers blooming and the lucious green folliage coming back to life, there is no doubt that we have hit spring head on. There are so many things to love about spring from the beautiful flowers to the warming weather and of course the hottest new trends that begin to appear as we swap out our winter wardrobe. Here are some of the hottest spring trends that we find absolutely CRAVE-worthy!

BRIGHT COLORS

Yellow will be most popular color during the springtime and among the favorite colors of 2010. Even though white is the most preferred color for the springtime, yellow will often be seen everywhere.

Mimosa (the orange juice and champagne yellow) was named as the color of the year for 2010 by Pantone, but any shade of yellow is a good bet. You might not prefer to wear a bright yellow color though. In this case, we advise you to look for more subtle shades such as chartreuse or mustard.

In addition to yellow, we’ll also be seeing a varying shades of pink. Pink is always the color that says feminine. This springtime we will see pink in every shade in our cotton-candy to our earrings, from bracelet to hand bags. Pink accessories will be almost everywhere. If you want to have a glamorous look, look for pink handbags and totes in glossy pink patent leather.

Don’t worry about sticking to these two color pallets though. Spice up any neutral outfit with pops of bright color. Accessorizing with chunky bangles or flashy headbands will not only liven up a simple outfit, but will definitely garner compliments on this new spring wardrobe. Accessories is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to transform a wardrobe and try out new trends. No need to splurge on all new clothes when you can update the classics with a few fun pieces.

JEWELRY

Do you have to spend all your money in your saving account to stay trendy? Although budgets are tight nowadays, it doesn’t mean that you need to stop being  fashion conscious.

As you know, jewelry is one of the best ways to stay current with today’s fashion trends. Fashion trends don’t only consist of clothes. Although jewelry is expensive, they are an important part of staying in line with trends. To get the most bang for your buck, it is important to know what the top trends and styles are going to be so you can choose right pieces that will update your style.

You can wear chandelier earrings this year! They are back. They bring with them an instantly feminine and glamorous look to any outfit that you wear them with. You can also pair them with simple jeans, heels, and a T-Shirt for a casual, but glammed up look.

Turquoise jewelry, such as earrings, pendants, necklaces, rings and bracelets are the season’s hottest trends. Blue is the most common and attractive shade in Turquoise. You can pair these pieces with just about anything from crisp white to nice coral tones to browns, blacks, and grays, and it instantly warms up your outfit.

PRINTS

Also a big trend for this spring is the return of the prints. Whether it be floral, geometric, or animal–prints are back, but with a twist.

If you’re looking to to floral, try going for a more abstract look. If the print is more traditional, look for it in a more non-traditional color pallet like black and white or neon colors. Look for florals on flowy materials or on a very structured silhouette. This is an easy way to take the child-like nuances of the floral print and update it for today’s woman.

Geometric and graphic prints bring and exciting element of interest to the simple structured dress. This is a great way to take your favorite shapes and silhouettes and make them utterly unique. Wear this trend with a pair of simple pumps and funky jewelry, and you’ll surely be a trend setter in your circle.

Animal prints seem to always be in the mix of trends in one way or another. This year animal prints are going to be seen in an entirely different way. Instead of throwing on the usual neutral tones that are found in the wild, try animal prints that feature bright splashes of color. Think of a leopard print dress featuring black with splashes of blues, greens, purples, and pinks. We know this might sound wild, but done the right way and this trend can be ultra chic.
