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? This is the must-have shoe for the warmer weather and there are tons of unique variations on the market. Plus, they're great for upping your denim, cropped pant and midi skirt game this season. 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.
