Spring has finally arrived, which means it's time to break out the warm-weather wardrobe. And this season, one outfit essential is receiving all the buzz: fun and colorful accessories!
Chassie Post from Gilt.com stopped by Studio 1A to share a few of the hottest trends for the spring.
Mules & slides
When it comes to style, the mule shoe is a time-tested thoroughbred. The look is effortlessly chic and the slip-in, slip-out nature of the shoe is perfect for any location — the pool and the dance floor included! From easy flat slides to chunkier styles and block heels, this trend is popping up everywhere this spring.

Lace-ups
Spring is the perfect time to lace it up, and what better way to do so than with trendy, Scottish-inspired ballet flats?

Make sure to stay on the lookout for the wider fabric straps that wrap around the leg several times for dramatic effect or, go full-on golden gladiator in fashionable, knee-high lace-ups.
