Hot Trend: All-Natural Accessories

As you well know by now, neutral colors are all the rage for Spring- which makes it a perfect time for some all-natural accessorizing. Designers are making liberal use of materials like cork, straw, linen, wood and raffia, and luckily for us, that makes for some very affordable shoes, bags and jewelry. Here are a few of my personal faves...

I have looked at a lot of raffia/straw/linen/cork shoes now, y'all and for the money, these $65 sandals from Victoria's Secret are my top pick. They are uber stylish, way sexy, and totally affordable. Plus, you can probably get them for even less, since Victoria's Secret always has some kind of deal going on. Just do a Google search for "Victoria's Secret Coupon codes" and you'll turn up the latest deals.

You Can Do This: Eva Longoria Parker's Casual Neutrals

I absolutely LOVE Eva Longoria Parker's outfit in this shot- so simple, so comfortable, yet so, so chic. She manages to rock both the neutrals trend and the bright blue bag (which all the stars seem to be carrying lately) and yet still look refreshingly NORMAL. Easier said than done in Hollywood.

So let's figure out how we can copy this look on a realistic budget, shall we?

Hot Trend: Break Up Boring Black with a Neutral or Bright Pink Scarf

The stars are livening up their winter wardrobes with scarves in two colors-of-the-moment.

Jennifer Westfeldt got a jumpstart on the Spring neutrals trend at Sundance last week by breaking up her basic black with a beige scarf. And she wasn't the only celeb with this bright idea...

Anthropologie's Take on Spring Neutrals

Anthropologie has a gorgeous spread showcasing its neutral clothing for Spring- The photos gave me lots of great ideas on how to wear neutrals and what to pair them with. I also love seeing the shoes and accessories Anthropologie's stylists chose to accentuate the looks. The good news is that you probably already have some of these pieces in your closet. What's more, the neutral pieces you buy now will always be in style.

You'd almost certainly be the most stylish girl in the car rider pick-up line with this ensemble!

Spring Shoes: The Neutrals

One trend I'm liking a lot for Spring is the neutral shoe. Wearing shoes that match your skin is a classic way to look thinner, since the color blends with your skin and lengthens your frame. Neiman Marcus has a great page with designer takes on the trend-

Pretty pumps.

Hot Trend: Neutrals

If you're not much of a black/white and red girl or you're just looking for something new, never fear, ladies. Neutrals are another big trend for Spring. But you have to be careful with this look- Done wrong, it can totally wash you out or worse, leave you looking like a clown. Take a look...

When wearing neutrals, don't overdo it on the makeup. The results can be disastrous, Rachel McAdams.
