Spring 2011 Fashion Trends: Must Haves Shoes and Bags
What a harsh, snow-laden winter it’s been. Greys and monochromatic palettes ruled the runways in the fall, with Mad Men-inspired 50s attire making an overdue comeback. But, that’s all in the past now. According to our furry weather-predicting groundhog, Spring is fast approaching and bringing with it the latest fashion trends: bolder, “hyper” colors and a nod to YSL-inspired 70s chic; high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, skirts with longer hemlines, lace and goddess gowns are also in store. Naturally, you’ll want to pair your shoes and handbags accordingly, either playing them up when complimenting the return of white to your closet, or going neutral (and textured) when wearing bolder prints and eye-catching colors.
The return of spring brings open-toed pumps, sandals and wedges back, and this season is all about the espadrille. Step out in style during the day with these to-die-for
Stuart Weitzman Raffia Crossover Espadrille Wedges
. (And if you’re feeling particularly daring, try them in pony skin
.)

For a more sculptural, glamorous take on the espadrille, check out these Christian Laboutin patent leather ones, which combine the elegance of an open-toed slingback with the fun espadrille wedge.
It wouldn’t be a 70s revival without the funk, and these
Maison Martin Margiela Twist Front Suede Sandals
will keep you looking divine at the disco, darlings! A modern take on the classic twist motif, these suede sandals remain true-to-trend in their neutral color. (Try them in black leather and pair them with a motorcycle jacket for a truly modern, hip approach.)

Finally, it wouldn’t be spring without the latest “It” bags and clutches. Paint the town red with this Alexander McQueen red patent leather long clutch. With its goldtone skull knuckles, you’ll surely be a knockout.
And for a classic, upscale tote, try Burberry’s Canvas Check Tote. With patent leather trim and the trademark check print, it’s the perfect tote for spring’s first picnic in the sun. Can’t you just hear the birds chirping? The bees buzzing about the flowers? Not yet, you can’t. But you soon will, and these shoes and handbags will ensure you’re the talk of the town.
