The must haves for this Spring if you want to stay stylish. First we like big, bright earrings. This accessory looks best with upswept hair, like a ponytail or bun. The ones pictured are a great example, and you can find colorful, beaded earrings almost anywhere.

Spring Essentials - big, bold earrings

Another spring trend is acid wash jeans, but if your like me and can't stand acid wash, distressed jeans will work, as well.

The jumpsuit is in style full force. Get one.

The bondage or Bandaid dress. They are super figure flattering and act almost like a spankx dress.

Spring Essentials - Bondage dress

The platform shoe is the final Spring must have trend. This is great for those of us who could use a little extra height.

The trends for accessories this Spring 2009 is au natural. We will see a lot of natural materials like wood, stone and shell, and organic gemstones, like amber. This may be a reaction to the recession, using less expensive, more 'down to earth' materials.

I came across this super cool dress at Browns. It's Beatrice Boyle for Browns Focus and it's a simple white cotton mini dress with a unique and eye catching image. With this dress for Browns Focus, Beatrice Boyle shows her trademark distorted images of flawless models and glossy adveritising campaigns. Only $87 at Browns fashion.

Erin Featherston, a new, up and coming fashion designer, creates airy frocks, fairytale designs and has lots of ruffles. Her creations are thought to be very feminine and soft. Among her credentials, Fetherston collaborated with Ellen von Unwerth on several projects and has teamed up with Target for their Go! International collection. She received honors from the UPS Delivers Fashion's Future Initiative and the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation. In 2008, she was named a finalist for the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund.

I lover her designs. They are clean and light, a perfect look for warm summer months. Only drawback, her clothes are quite expensive.

Boucle Jacket in White, $1,430.
