Spring Fashion Shopping Guide 2013

I love the sleek colorblocking and mixed-material construction of these Pierre Hardy Canvas and Leather Sandals ($595). The wood heel adds a bit of retro cool, and I think they'll look so fresh with a pair of white skinny jeans and a breezy top.

Starting this month, I have three weddings to attend, so I need to stick to a dressing palette (and state of mind) that allows for versatility — for the occasion and beyond. Thus, this Zimmermann Independent burnout T-dress ($295) is at the top of my list. With a bright statement necklace and kitten heels, it's wedding-ready, and with flat sandals and an armful of bracelets, it feels getaway-perfect, too.

This Reed Krakoff mini shoulder bag in Corsica ($590) is the perfect way to kick off Spring. The diminutive shape and cool blue hue will add a refreshing pop to all of my (future) Spring outfits.

I'm all about mixing prints, and this Topshop Half & Half Mix Print Tee ($64) takes the work out of it! Just pair it with dark denim now or white denim in the Summer, and you are totally done.

Even though I live in LA, I get cold very easily, so I'm counting on this Max Mara reversible coat ($775) to keep me warm (but not superhot) and stylish. I love that it's reversible and I equally dig both the yellow and beige colors.

I've needed a new wallet for ages, and this Tanner Goods Cardholder ($65) seems to fit the bill — pun intended. Of course, the slim design means you can't fit much in it, but who really needs to hold onto coffee shop receipts and movie stubs, anyway?

How sweet is this pastel pink Mango jacket ($100)? The soft hue is ideal for Spring, while the moto style lends just the right amount of edge. I'd pair it with a dainty dress and suede ankle boots for day, then black leather pants and caged sandals for a gothic-glam twist at night.

I've recently become obsessed with ear cuffs; this clear quartz ManiaMania Idol ear cuff ($170) fits the bill to a T.

It's been a long Winter of closed-toe boots and sneakers, I'm ready to make the switch to something that shows off my pedicure. It might be a little preemptive, but I can already think of about a million ways to style these perfect everyday Kelsi Dagger heels ($118).

The Riller & Fount Angelika Raglan Sweatshirt ($165) combines all my favorite weekend materials (chambray, sweatshirt, and jersey) into a top that's so chic I'd wear it all week long.

— Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Fashion & Beauty director

I am a huge fan of clothing with hidden surprises. My favorite part of this Thom Browne oxford cotton shirt ($392) has to be the red, white, and blue grosgrain trim running on the inside placket of the shirt.

— Robert Khederian, Style & Trends editorial assistant

I'm not one for ladylike pieces, but this ASOS floral midi dress ($71) immediately caught my eye. I'd wear this with a pair of metallic sandals for a fun twist on daytime dressing.

Catbird is one of my favorite boutiques in Brooklyn, and every couple of months, I like to treat myself to one of their rings. This classic hammered first knuckle ring ($64) is so pretty, delicate, and I love the idea of wearing it stacked above my other Catbird rings.

— Marisa Tom, Style & Trends associate editor

Duffy's Neon-Trimmed Cashmere Sweater ($265) is perfectly lightweight, making it a great layering piece for San Francisco's finicky weather — and the thin pops of lime are subtle yet fun. I'm planning on styling it with boyfriend jeans and gladiator sandals.

Maybe it's my love of men's fashion or the thrill I get from helping my brother choose the perfect black-tie ensemble. Whatever it is, I am completely smitten with bow ties. I like to style them with a feminine button-down, wear them as a hair accessory, or even tie them around my wrist for a one-of-a-kind bracelet. I stumbled across this skull-print Topshop piece ($16), which combines my love of dapper dressing with my obsession for skulls.

Such a cool twist on a basic neutral pump. The ankle strap is perfectly on-trend while the chunky wooden heel makes these Elizabeth and James Emily Snake-Print Ankle Strap Leather Pumps ($350) totally walkable.

— Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Fashion & Beauty director

Who said tuxedo pants are only for the male population? I'm totally borrowing the trend in these Vince tuxedo pants ($275). They'll add a jolt of color to my nighttime wardrobe. I like how they look like regular pants from the front, but when you turn to the side, you get a fun surprise with the cobalt stripes.

— Melody Nazarian, Style & Trends editor

I just don't feel right going into Spring without a sweet new sundress, and I've got my eye on this T.Babaton Wilkes Dress from Aritzia ($175). The silk georgette and girlie silhouette make it so romantic, while the colorful dot print keeps it modern.

— Britt Stephens, Style & Trends assistant editor

Coach's Leather Tanner ($258) in a sunny yellow color will quite literally light up my look. Even in the awkward transitional weather, I can kick-start Spring a little early with this bag in tow.

— Hannah Weil, Style & Trends associate editor

They say "if you build it, they will come" — I'm thinking if I throw on this bright Mara Hoffman dress ($286), I can will Spring to come early.

— Hannah Weil, Style & Trends associate editor

I learned about this Campbell baby V gold ring ($160) when Beyoncé wore it with her white Olcay Gulsen dress at the Super Bowl press conference. What I admire most about it (besides the fact that Beyoncé has it) is that it's subtle enough to work into my everyday wardrobe. Plus, when people compliment it, I can casually drop Bey's name.

Camo is everywhere — and I mean everywhere — in menswear. I love this pair of Camo Koto Tiger Camo Military Chinos ($59), with its dark color palette and slim silhouette. It would look especially good paired with a navy blazer.

— Robert Khederian, Style & Trends editorial assistant

Say so long to bad hair days with this garden baseball hat from Madewell ($24). Go casual in jeans and a V-neck or toss it on with a maxi dress and varsity jacket for a sporty-chic style.

— Mandi Villa, contributing editor

As we make the transition into Spring, I'm a little hesitant to toss my Winter anorak into the closet abyss. The style gods must have known I was in a dark place when they led me to this ASTR military-vest ($82). With its sage coloring, high-low hemline, and season versatility, it's the perfect transitional item to fill my military-inspired void.

— Mandi Villa, contributing editor

Suit Supply is my sartorial secret weapon. It offers ultratailored pieces, like this Washington Half Blue Check Sportcoat ($349) with a dramatic, peak-lapel collar, strong shoulders, and bold print, for prices that wont break the bank. The man, sadly, is not included.
