Spring Shopping List

Spring Shopping List

Is it Spring yet? To bad the groundhog saw his shadow last week, because I could really use some warmer weather and be able to ditch my puffer coat for the foreseeable future. We may be months away from floral buds and tight free ensembles, but it's never too late to get a jumpstart on your Spring shopping list and ensure that your closet is perfectly stocked. Similar to a post I did this past Fall, check out your must-have items to get you ready for the upcoming season.

1. SUNGLASSES
NUMBER ONE SUNGLASSES - KAREN WALKER
Thank god for Daylight Savings Time and sunshine till around 8:00pm. As soon as our clocks "spring forward" we are all going to need a bright new pair of sunnies to keep our eyes covered for those longer sunshine-filled days ahead. Plus, my girlfriend Elana would agree that a girl can never have too many pairs of sunglasses in her wardrobe.

2. UMBRELLA
RAIN CHECK UMBRELLA - KATE SPADE
As a New Yorker, I carry an umbrella in my bag year round. I never know when I am going to be caught in a torrential downpour. Plus, when you meet that handsome stranger in the rain, ensure that your umbrella is big enough for sharing. April showers bring May flowers.....

3. STRIPES
LONG SLEEVE STRIPE TOP - TOPSHOP 
Stripes scream Spring. Whether it is in a top, pant, skirt, etc. this nautical pattern is sure to spruce up this season's wardrobe even if you're not spending all of your days on yacht.

4. BALLET FLATS
FELICIA LEATHER BALLET FLATS - SAM EDELMAN
One thing to look forward to once Winter is gone is ditching your socks and boots. Embrace the warmer weather and your feet with something stylish, comfortable and versatile. Pick up a pair of nude ballet flats because they are an amazing staple for any outfit in your Spring wardrobe.

5. STRAW
STRAW BEACH TOTE - CHICOS
A handbag material that thrives in the Spring is straw. It's the quintessential accessory to tote for a picnic in the park or a stroll along the beach. This old school fabric adds a little flair to your city look. Whether you prefer it in a handbag or a hat, make sure to grab something straw this Spring.

6. FLORALS
COLLECTION DUTCH FLORAL PENCIL SKIRT - JCREW
Another pattern that resinates with Spring is anything floral. For a solid 3 months (5 if talking about Syracuse) city residents tackle snow and wear darker colors due to the dreary weather outside their windows. Once Spring shows up, everyone ditches the dark hues and patterns for a floral pattern.  Plus it's fun to match the outside ambiance. 

7. TRENCH
EMPOWERED PROFESSIONAL COAT - MODCLOTH
The trench coat is the perfect coat for the Spring season. It is a great transitional piece for your commute to the office when the weather is still a bit brisk. Plus, it's super lightweight to hold or store in your bag, if the weather surprises you and you no longer need a jacket. A must have layering piece for Spring.
