Spring “Must Haves” 2011

Spring has sprung. Flowers are flowering and birds are…birding. Let’s celebrate!

Here’s a quick peak at some simply “must haves” for this season of bloom and brightness from the lovely ladies at Refinery 29:

Stella McCartney Floral Dress, $4,095, available at Net-a-Porter, image via Style.com. “I always gravitate to this type of flowing floral dress…but this one’s the pinnacle.”

Petite Bateau Bralette, $35, available at Petit Bateau; Petit Bateau Boy Shorts, $28, available at Petit Bateau. “Every spring I like to ditch all of last season’s unmentionables and start fresh. And this sweet little top and bottom is precisely the reason why.”

Nars Lipstick in Funny Face, $24, available at Sephora. “Come spring, I love switching my red lip in for the most intense shade of hot pink (it always reminds me of big beautiful camelia flowers!). Julie Hewett makes a great one called Scarlett, and Nars’ shade of Funny Face is equally divine.”

Rachel Comey Bobcat Top, $255, available at Bird; Rachel Comey Shore Pants, $345, available at P.45. This silhouette pairing is kind of my uniform all year round, but it seems particularly perfect now in Rachel’s signature offbeat color combo.

Kenzo Metallic Jacket, image via Style.com. “Being from Long Island, I will always have a weakness for some flash, and this gorgeous metallic blazer could easily become my summertime staple.”

Acqua Di Parma Colonia, $98, available at Neiman Marcus. “This classic citrusy scent just smells like spring and summer. Plus the splash bottle really lets me overdo it, which I am sadly known for.”

Cartier Entrelaces Ring in Yellow Gold, $850, by Cartier. “Absolutely perfect in every way…a great piece on its own or layered with some of my other crazy rings.”

Keds Champion white canvas sneaker, $35, available at Keds. “These are probably the only kind of shoes both my mom and I swear by. The classic plimsole kick only gets chicer with age.”
