As we begin to enter spring, it’s time to switch gears and embark on a light hearted, fun and flirty season! We predict colors will be huge this spring and summer. A lot of you are seeking a fresh twist in your closet without having to spend a fortune and we’re here to help you create your own paradise during these times through your wardrobe. By taking what you already have and adding a few new but affordable accessories, you’re sure to turn heads in the upcoming seasons. Invest in some chunky bracelets and bangles (gold always brings out the goddess in you). We are also huge fans of link necklaces. Most importantly, invest in a bag that you can dress up or down. Check out some of our suggestions below and you won’t be disappointed!

Nicole Richie is bohemian chic accessorizing with this fabulous clutch

There is a right way and many wrong ways to incorporate animal print into an outfit. Our favorite and by far the most chic way is through accessories. You can highlight a gorgeous dress whether flowing or structured with a simple animal print clutch or peep toe pumps. We love Nicole Richie’s use of the clutch above. It provides an understated elegance with a pinch of the “wild”. The overall result is a very sexy bohemian look. Nicole’s look adds up to thousands of dollars but below is a much less expensive animal print clutch from Rue de Chic to spice up your wardrobe.

If you’re just looking to tip toe into the animal print kingdom and not go as bold as the clutch, this necklace is perfect for you!
