Swanky Sunglasses...
Sunglasses used to be purely functional – you know, protecting your precious eyes from the sun’s deadly rays and all that – but this year, the styles of sunglasses are more -- original -- than ever. On the spring runways, designers from Rochas to Prada sported multiple colors and strange shapes to create a rainbow of fresh new looks.

Bright Prints...
Bright colors dominated the spring runways on bags, shoes, shifts and even denim. Among the hottest spring looks: floral denim. These brightly patterned pants and shorts are perfect for spring, but you can also wear them right now topped with boots and a cute jacket.

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.
Black Nail Polish...
In an ironic twist, a color straight from the depths of darkest winter has been dominating celebs’ nails just in time for spring. Black nails are no longer strictly for teens suffering from hopeless cases of ennui, celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Amy Brennemen have been sporting inky tips.

Backpacks...
Athletic looks flooded the spring runways, with designers from Michael Kors to Helmut Lang apparently taking inspiration from the Olympics. This look is easy to incorporate with a cute backpack. No, not your trusty gym bag; this year’s models are crafted from leather and are suitable for city wear. Among the best: Backpacks with a vintage, worn-in look, or urban-chic models with edgy, sleek style.
So crawl on out of hibernation and hop on your laptop! It’s time to get shopping – after all, spring is just around the corner.
