Casual day look with velvet platform sneakers.

Embroidered jacket is a great way to welcome spring.

Always feel best when wearing sky high heels. These booties are my absolute favorites. Click photo for more.

Spring is almost here! Don't get caught off guard, find all your spring essentials here! What are they you might ask? Anything floral, of course! I got to style my look from day - time to night - time by simply swapping up the shoes for killer floral embroidered velvet booties.

The best part about spring besides days getting longer, warmer and sunnier, is the fact that we can now focus on spring colors. Oh how I've been yearning for some pastels. This baby blue floral embroidered jacket is exactly what I call love at first sight. It's sold out, so I've linked other just as beautiful jackets for you. It's safe to say you can invest in anything floral and embroidered. I guarantee you will look and feel amazing in it, for years to come.

For daytime I opted out for my Steve Madden Velvet Bertie sneakers and for night time, dressed up the look with stylish over the ankle booties. And no, it doesn't hurt if they are embroidered too! I'm obsessed with those rose details on my (you guessed it) Steve Madden floral booties. Can't wait to wear them over and over again and with shorts and skirts in late spring/early summer.

And how awesome is my lash tee? I've linked my favorites for you below, so you can pick the one that speaks to your style. I think they will be great with cute shorts when warmer weather comes. I'm wearing super comfy high rise Old Navy rock star jeans, my favorites for every day look. I wrote all about my crossbody bag in previous post Choker Neck Sweater, it is by Coach 1941 collection. I can't stress enough how freaking exited I get every time I get to wear it. Yeah, it is that cool.

This spring go for pastel colors. embroidered jackets, shoes (from flats, mules or booties) embroidered jeans or patch jeans, embellished bags, and tees with suddle designs (preferably florals or lashes). Remember to pick one or two items, whatever speaks to you and your style, you don't have to get it all to be on top of your Style A-game.

with love,
