RI Beauty Expert: Spring Trendspotting – Five Surprising Musts
Saturday, April 25, 2015
Early spring is all about shedding: the winter coat, the scarf, the boots, etc. But it’s also about putting on some new. Here are five fun trends we couldn’t help but notice:
Mirrored Metallic
Timeless aesthetic meets modern sophistication in a new way to wear leather. Find sandals, hair accessories, and handbags in clean-cut sporty mirror. Reflective and eye-catching, it’s more than just silver and gold this season – it’s edgy and cool instead. Target

From Ralph Lauren to Michael Kors, the bucket bag has reappeared in all major design collections and price points. It’s perfect for an easy spring lifestyle and holds more than your structured winter bag. Perfect for the Little League bleachers, the boardroom, or on the back of your chair at that sexy new bistro. Find it in a happy bright spring color or stark white for the sultry days ahead. Old Navy, Nordstrom
Paisley
Pretty paisley with all its swirly hues is the print of choice this spring. Sexy sheaths or fun tunics and you’re embracing the movement head-on. Ted Nugent never had it so good. Macy’s
Sunnies
If you need new shades this spring, you’ll find everything from iconic John Lennon rounds to aviators to cat eyes. Retro is super fun and hip right now. Sunglass Hut, Warwick
Stack ‘em up
After years of the statement necklace, rings are finally front and center again. Not one, not two, but stacks and stacks. Mix contemporary metals with sweet vintage. More is more. Check out local junk shops for slim bands to combine with colorful new gemstones.
