I buy a lot of colorful shoes – with very good intentions – but more often than not, I fall back on my favorite black sandals for spring. Black matches everything and when you’re wearing black leather pants or dark wash jeans, a black shoe finishes off the look and gives your legs that incredibly long and slimming effect. Here are a few sandals for spring I’ve been eyeing lately, and they’ve got everything from basic to bronze embellishments.

I have a love-hate relationship with jackets for women. I adore topping off my look with a blazer, which can be a huge pain during the winter when you also need another coat on top of that to keep you warm. Now with spring jackets for women, we don’t have that problem! A lightweight trench, blazer or cardigan can do double-duty as the focal point of your ensemble – yay for warmer weather! Check out four of my favorites below.
