A mundane staple gets a spring-ready update with a little lace embellishment. Pretty!

1. J.Crew flower sleeve sweater,

2. Warehouse scube coat,

3. Paige jeans,

4. Asos bracelet set,

5. Kenzo clutch,

6. Belle by Sigerson Morrison metallic flats,

This cute clutch has that kind of reach-out-and-touch-me (Prada-ish) texture that I find hard to resist!

I love how this zebra print topper can energize an everyday outfit and turn heads. I'd layer it under a winter coat now (for a little wild pop!) and pair it with jeans come spring.

Thinking I'd stand out in a sea of dresses, I borrowed a friend's slinky jumpsuit to wear to a fancy disco party on Saturday night, but, as it turned out, many others were in jumpsuits, too. Clearly, the universal adoration of this throw-on-and-go outfit is deserved. This jumpsuit is especially excellent because it can go from the office to the disco as fluidly as The Hustle.

Infinitely versatile, everyday practical, nude-hued goodness in this bag. I also happen to think that the more battered it gets, the better it will look!

I love how a little gold trim elevates these basic black pumps into a full-on glamorous statement.

An embellished neckline dresses up this tee just the way I like it!

This mixed print skirt is a nice way to shake up the office uniform--and then some.

I can see this statement shoe--and all of its () super sexy strapiness--being an endless source of delight for me this spring.

The backpack was once a school essential, but now the eminently practical carryall is a street style staple. Initially, when backpacks came on to the fashion scene a few years ago, I was opposed. Too cumbersome, I thought. And maybe even a little tourist-y looking? But now designers are making backpacks in luxe fabrics, and many of them double as hand bags, so you don't have to sling it on your back. On those Sandra Bullock in Gravity days (i.e. when I'm feeling like I'm up against perpetual adversity!), it would be nice to have a big (and stylish) bag of tricks, stocked with everything from emergency snacks to various hand-held devices to an extra layer to throw on in case I get cold. Prime examples include this , this white croc , and this slick, zipper-accented .
