Guest Post by Glitter and Gold: Hot Spring Trends

Today on this hot, hot Midwest spring day, we have a wonderful reader and guest blogger, Ashley of Glitter and Gold. Yesterday I received a nice email from her asking to contribute and her insight brings a nice change of pace to just outfit posts and food pics. She's here to tell you about some hot spring trends, which are all about the brights, structured versus flowy, and having fun with your spring-melts-into-summer style. Please show her some love and check out her fun collages and fashion reports! I spy with my little eyes several pieces that I would like to flaunt during my SoCal post-graduation summer :)   P.S. Happy birthday to JJ ! ♥

What are essential spring trends? For me the few trends I can't live without are messenger bags, pleated skirts, espadrilles and well a good pair of raybans. With all of this stuff you'll look trendy all throughout the few months of warm sun and sandy beaches.

BAG

Messenger bags! Who needs boring tan colored messenger bags, it's summer. Spice up your wardrobe with bold colors and shapes. I love this bag because it's so unique and can turn a boring outfit into something really fun!

A great long pleated skirt is one of my favorite trends. I think this will be a great piece for the spring and summer because these skirts are long and flowey.

{ Sandals + Espadrilles = Want them }

{ Blue+ Raybans = AMAZING!}

I love raybans! Well doesn't everyone! Latley I have been thinking that I need to great a pair of RayBan sunglasses for summer.
