What better way to beat the winter blues, than to bring a little “spring” into your style! Posh Beauty Blog sourced Top Manhattan Fashion Stylist Kirsten Angeli who provides the following tips to help us get ready for spring. Here are 3 ways to add spring touches to your wardrobe straight from Kirsten Angeli.  

Spring Florals

There's something for everyone this Spring. Whether you’re sensible, cute, sexy or like to sport an attitude, spring has it all! Blooming florals are everywhere, from flirty floral dresses, sweet street floral biker jackets, floral lycra to floral sport chic. Pick up one of those to-die-for skirts from Christopher Kane  or go head to toe floral with Matthew Williamson for Topshop. “Waking up to these blooming florals can light up even the most seasonably depressed!!” says Kirsten. 

 If that doesn't make you happy, it's now chic to bring your cross trainers to your next formal event. Tread carefully and choose a sneaker with style that brings another dimension to the dress. Choose a dress with lycra ribbing that hugs all the right places, turn up the heat with a bold color and floral sneaker to match.

Tangerine

Once spring rolls around get ready for the extra-sensory experience. A must this year is tangerine, everything: tangerine lips, tangerine coats, jackets, tops, dresses and accessories!

Accessorize Your White and Black

If color is not your thing, choose the perfect white top to match your black pants and a black top to match your white pants. Texturize the look with bold tribal jewelry in black and white lacquerTake a stand; Doesn't matter where, just get out there. Spring 2014 offers plenty of options to help you make the perfect statement.  Kirsten says, “Get graphic and add these Chanel bangles. A little over the top, use them as a statement to your favorite black on black or allover white look.”

Radiant Orchid is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2014 and I am loving it! When it comes to fashion, I tend to wear a lot of neutrals but love to add pops of vibrant color, so Radiant orchid is exciting for me. But I want to be sure to wear this stunning color in a way that is, well…Posh!

Posh Beauty Blog tapped Style Expert Lori Riviere, for tips for wearing this energetic color without overdoing it. Read on for Lori’s tips for styling your wardroble with Pantone’s Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid: 

The Color Gods have spoken and Radiant Orchid is forecasted to be all the rage for 2014, but striking the right balance is key or you run the risk of channeling Punky Brewster, or worse yet, that lovable 90's dinosaur Barney. Follow these 3 tips to wear the color of the season and not let it wear you:

Neutralize it With Nudes

Wear separates with one pop of Orchid and keep the rest neutral and nude. Think Orchid pencil skirt, crisp white blouse and nude pumps. By pairing your pop of color with neutral hues you keep the color from outshining you.

Carry Your Color

Instead of trying to incorporate purple hues into your clothing pieces, try using a handbag to sport the trend. What better way to sport a splash of color, than with your handbag and this leather lovely from Hayden Harnett has a simple silhouette and neutral hue that will work with wardrobe staples (HaydenHarnett.com $248)

Keep things Polished

2014's color of the year makes the perfect manicure partner because there are endless shades of purple so finding one that will compliment your skin tone should be easy. I love the Butter London Nail Lacquer in Molly Coddled because it is universally flattering at (ButterLondon.com $15.00)
