Happy Easter lovely dollies!~*

Spring has been upon us for about two weeks now! Once the rain dissepates, the sun is sure to bring out the beauties with the fashion trends for spring and summer 2010!  I have yet to see a change into warmer weather but I'm sure it'll come soon! <3

One trend that I have definitely fallen head over heels for is the woven accessories.  It goes oh-so-well with the crisp white babydoll lace and cotton dresses that are sure to pop up everywhere during summer!

* luvs it! * ~*

Okay so here is a woven belt that just came out now on the Marciano website:
Ellisiana Braided Belt $88.00 (cdn)


This darling belt is a perfect spring/summer accessory to any neutral/crisp white outfit that you rock this upcoming season!  It gives off that earthy contrast to the light colours of spring! I luv luv luv the braided effect of the belt itself, sort of like one of those wicker bags that do look so adorable during the summer months!

For the thrifty shopper, fear not!  Not everything will cost an arm and a leg this spring/summer!  If you're one to accessorize on a budget, here are 3 options that I have found courtesy of Forever 21 that are at fabulous prices that won't break the bank!

The first is the double buckle belt $7.80(CDN) - It has sort of a crochet style band that goes around the waist with a deeper coloured buckle. The crochet is reminiscent of the crochet style bags and shoes of spring!
The second, which I recently bought but in the brown (which for some reason isn't available online anymore) Jennie Woven belt $10.80(CDN).  This is a super cute belt (which I have yet to wear) that I think would pair perfectly with my spring wardrobe an transition into summer.  It is so rustic, not polish or clean, it's earthy toned and also has the braided band around the belt that is similar to the woven accessories for this season.


The next one is more if you want a pop of colour.  Since most of the colours I have shown are in earthy browns and blacks and cream colours, I thought I'd show one with a pop of a bright tone to set a beautiful contrast that can transition wonderfully from daytime dress to nightime wear!  I love the chic casualness of the braided belt mixed in with the two toned laces.

The Woven Laces belt $9.80(CDN) - interwoven two colours, comes in red and cream or blue and cream.  Luv luv! It gives off the unusual pop of colour that sets it apart from the usual pastels and neutrals.



These belts that I have chosen (courtesy of Forever 21 Canada website) are eye pleasers that don't break the budget!  In the fashion world, the trends are ever-changing.  It doesn't hurt to invest once in awhile in some timeless classic pieces, but there's nothing wrong with a trendy yet inexpensive item to accessorize the season's look!

Happy shopping!~*
