creative index is now union shore: Style Files: Spring Essentials

I’m in love with the J.Crew Spring collection. All the bright colors are something to look forward to! Have you checked out their 12 essentials for Spring? These are just a few things on my must-have list...

Colored Denim: There's always room in your closet for a new pair of denim, especially when they're so cheerfully colored. I've been wanting a red pair for a while now, but those cobalt blue ones have me smitten!

Statement Necklaces: Punch up any outfit this Spring with a bold, dramatic statement necklace... These are a must-have accessory year round in my opinion. :)

Breezy Blouses: Perfect for that effortless, chic look. Dress them up with a sleek pencil skirt or down with a pair of skinnies and flat.

Sperry Sliders: A true American original and a favorite is back and better than ever. I have a similar metallic gold Payless pair from last summer that I just love... but I'm definitely obsessing over these! I think Navy and Red ones are my faves...

On a side note, how awesome are these photos? The styling, the font choices, the colors. Pure perfection! ;)

What trends are you looking forward to this Spring? What are your must-haves?

The colored denim reminds me of when I was a kid :-)

I am looking forward to flowers. Im really into the floral prints right now, especially for tops, also another fav. of mine is Turquoise and coral. I think it's fitting for living in Florida.

J. Crew can honestly do no wrong! I'm so glad that colored denim is still in cause I can't get enough and don't even get me started on statement necklaces.

Pssst... you can get exact copies of the J.Crew bubble necklace on Etsy. I have a turquoise one and wear it all the time. :) It was $45 instead of $150.

Oh! Loving everything. I'm thinking the green pants would be fun. And the purple blouse! Not together, of course (:

I was considering some kelly green skinny jeans from Nordstrom the other day. I desperately want a pair of sperry topsiders but my feet are always cold!

I have been eyeing up the bubble necklaces! Amazing. And the toothpick jeans are fantastic colors for spring.
I was on the site last night looking through the top choices and these were a few of my faves:)

You read my mind about the font and layout on these photos! They are so the greatest!! All these colors kinda scare me though. I am a basics kinda girl. I would need some serious courage to rock that colored denim! No matter how in style it is! :)
