FBFF: Spring Trends

FBFF Topic this week is Spring Trends!

What are the top 5 Spring Trends that you are looking forward to seeing/sporting this season?

Of course I chose clothing & shoes trends to feature!!

Spring Trend #1: Wedge Sandals!!

Well apparently they only show images of the right shoe. All images from DSW.

Does this not make you wanna go shoe shopping? With so many adorable wedges out there, I know I'll be buying some soon. This is sad, but I have some amazing royal blue ruffle wedge sandals sitting in my closet that have never been worn. I'm making a resolution now to wear them in the next month.

Spring Trend #2 is Florals

Spring Trend 2011: Florals by lemondrop_linz featuring a striped hat

Dorothy Perkins white day dress, 24 GBP Rue21 floral cocktail dress, $30 River Island purple floral dress, 25 GBP Floral top, $57 TopShop floral top, $45 TopShop skirt, $60 French Connection floral skirt, 47 GBP J Crew floral swimwear, 35 GBP J crew bathing suit, 35 GBP Floral print pumps, $99 Floral print bag, 60 GBP Fat Face floral handbag, 35 GBP Juicy Couture polka dot hat, $58 H by Henry holland, 15 GBP Forever21 striped hat, $12

I'm seeing both bright big floral prints and small vintage florals and I'm loving it all! I definitely think some florals can pair together, but you just have to be careful if you don't want to come across as eclectic. By the way, all the picks above are less than $100!

Spring Trend # 3 is Wide Leg Pants

Spring Trend 2011: wide leg pants by lemondrop_linz featuring high waisted pants

TopShop linen pants, $80 ASOS pleated pants, $81 Adam wide leg pants, $84 Black pants, $180 Akira Black Label high waisted pants, $45 Topshop, $76 ASOS wide leg pants, $54 Stoneware Hearts, ABC Carpet & Home, $50 MERCI GUSTAVE Eiffel Tower, 49 EUR

Pants are really going retro this spring and channeling the 70s. What I like about wide leg pants now is that they have more of a classic look these days. And also, they're SO flattering for almost every body shape!

I don't think I'm really feeling the red floral pants, but all the other ones I would totally buy.

I included the Eiffel Tower because it's wearing wide leg pants too!

Spring Trend # 4 are this season's color trends: Orange & Chartreuse!!

Spring Trend 2011: Color Trends by lemondrop_linz featuring cotton dresses

Dorothy Perkins cotton dress, 40 GBP Lemlem tunic, 59 GBP Calypso crochet tunic, $68 Betty Jackson Black ribbed cardigan, 38 GBP Principles by Ben de Lisi top, 32 GBP Kate Frankfurt jacket TopShop cotton skirt, $70 Cork wedge, $140 Windsmoor, 25 GBP CB2 - chartreuse floor pillow, $60 Set of 4 Porcelain Chartreuse Measuring Spoons, $2.50 Chartreuse Green Glass Candle, $2.75

I adore these bright colors!! I own some orange in my closet but I'm thinking I need to fill in some of the gaps with a few lovely chartreuse pieces.

And maybe it's just me, but as I'm looking at this Polyvore set, I'm really loving these 2 colors paired together...challenge accepted! I'm going to find some chartreuse to style with the orange I own and feature it on the blog.

Spring Trend #5 is Neutrals

Spring Trend 2011: Neutrals by lemondrop_linz featuring an envelope clutch

Oasis shift dress, 25 GBP Vanessa Bruno scoop neck tank, 28 GBP John Lewis top, 35 GBP Dorothy Perkins short sleeve top, 28 GBP Twill blazer, 30 GBP Dorothy Perkins crochet dress, 28 GBP Dorothy Perkins wide leg pants, 26 GBP Dorothy Perkins linen skirt, 23 GBP Rue21 crochet skirt, $22 Calvin Klein high heel shoes, $30 Dorothy Perkins brogue shoes, 25 GBP Dorothy Perkins envelope clutch, 10 GBP BCBG Max Azria fringe scarve, $98 Cream belt, $32 Straw hat, $18 Linea Linea Neutral checked short, 28 GBP windows to the soul eye shadow palette philosophy, $38

SO maybe this choice threw you off a little. Neutrals...on ME? But seeing them over and over in magazines and online is just making me love them even more.

Layering neutrals is really big for the spring, but just make sure you don't get all matchy matchy with it. You want to stay monochromatic.

What are your favorite spring trends you are seeing and wanting to show off?

Any pieces above you are craving?

Or how bout any ideas for styling some of these trends?
