This kind of flower power will get me through springs eternal.

Gold links with just a touch of twinkle. Yes, please!

Spring's must-have bag requires some major spring cleaning. As in you'll have to oust everything but your lipstick. Because these new bags are so itty-bitty you could carry two, or maybe one small and one standard-size. But one thing's for sure: you'll definitely want to show it off. The go-to is Fendi's (along with the !) seen in these pics, above and below, taken last week in Paris. If those are too petite/impractical, then try one that can at least accommodate your cell phone like these by (which I'd monogram, of course), (with its chic link strap) and , or expand to clutch-size like these by and (vintage).

Loafers so good (and cheap!), I want them in , too!

I have big plans for this Topshop dress, which include jam-packed work days (with a blazer and heels) and unbridled beach loafing (unbuttoned over a black bikini). Want to join me?

Bright and sunny is in the forecast, according to Paris' haute couture show-goers, whose bags are anything but black. Rather, red, pink and green are current faves, especially in the Chanel variety (some vintage ones can be found and ). These bold beauties by (LOVE!), , , , and also deliver high-impact, spring-ready style. Oh, and baubles are bright too, just FYI. Come in hot with these by, , , and .

As you can see, a little faux shearling does a lot for denim. (It runs big, so I sized down.)

Spring bottled up in this fresh and pretty blouse! (I like to wear it unbuttoned with the tie and ruffles gorgeously cascading down the right sleeve.)

I would happily zip around this winter in this (on sale!) cutie.

Hoping all the elves out there have pounced on this (crazy-on-sale) Missoni!
