Spring Shoe Trend: The Micro Heel

{ Refinery 29 }

AKA.....The Kitten Heel. Same shoe style, new name. I couldn't be happier. This heel height gives a lift, and always looks chic. Add a pointy toe, and the look becomes sexy. Here's the best styles this season for every budget.

13 Cool Coats & Jackets For Warmer Weather

{ Via Dior }

The image above is my favorite trench of all time! It's very special. Come spring, it is so liberating to shed winter coats, and pop on a lighter layer. This season, the trench is still trending but with a twist, like tulle, or neon plaid and pleats. Quilted coats and crop jackets are everywhere. It's a good season for coats!
