Spring 2019 shoe trends are here! Stores are well stocked with the most fabulous shoes for the upcoming warm weather season, and there are so many trends to look for while shopping! This spring 2019 season, you can look forward to more comfortable shoe styles, funky heels, and playful designs. It’s going to be a fun season!

Chunky Heels

The spring 2019 season is all about chunky, funky heels. Often times the heels will be multi-colored or PVC. Look for interesting heels while shoe shopping! Of course, of you aren’t into chunky funky heels, kitten heels are in too; but big and clunky is way more fun!

Espadrilles (Obvi)

Did you know espadrilles are huge for spring? Um-did you know florals are in too? Groundbreaking! Ha! Yes, pull out last year’s espadrilles because they are very, very fabulous for spring 2019.

Snakeskin

You saw it on the streets! One of the biggest trends on the streets of New York Fashion Week was snakeskin. This is a huge fabrication for the spring 2019 season. While most of what you see on the market will be faux snakeskin-usually snakeskin print on leather; it will still have the look. I love the look of snakeskin. The texture looks fresh, making it  a great way to update your wardrobe this spring season. Love!

PVC

Well, PVC is huge. I plan to rock this trend with a handbag, but if you are brave, you can try rocking it in shoes. PVC shoes are very hot this spring, so if you think you can handle the chafing-go for it!

Chunky street sneakers

Chunky street sneakers are so big for spring, I already wrote about them! You can read my post here. This is spring’s most comfortable trend. After you kill your feet in PVC shoes, you can relax in a pair of chunky street sneakers. That works! Look for funky soles, bright colors, and statement making sneakers. Have fun with this one!

Anything Yellow

I know coral is the color of 2019, but yellow is having a moment too. Look for yellow shoes, in any style! This is a fun way to add a little sunshine to your footsies.

One of my favorite lipstick collections is Chanel’s line of Rouge Coco lipsticks. The Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick collection is sheer, and hydrating. They make the perfect daily lip colors! For the spring 2019 season, Chanel has created a new collection of colors in a bridge collection named Chanel Rouge Coco Flash.

I don’t really see any difference between the regular Rouge Coco lipstick collection, and Rouge Coco Flash. They are both collections of hydrating, sheer lip color. I love how smooth this lipstick applies, and how it’s just as hydrating as a lip balm. There are a wide variety of colors to choose from in the new Chanel Rouge Coco Flash lipstick collection. I decided to try out a soft neutral hue named Casual. If you prefer going by numbers, it’s color #52.

This is a really soft hue, which my daughter describes as “the same color as you.” OK, so Chanel Casual is my skin color. I guess that is a an easy way to describe it! haha. Just know, this colors appears more peachy in online stores. In real life, as you can see in my photos, it’s more of a warm beige.

There is a wide variety of colors in this collection. I definitely want to invest in a few more colors for the upcoming spring season. There are some really pretty pinks shades, and neutral hues which have caught my eye. You can see the entire range of colors here. Which color is your favorite?

All about the black and white bag

OK, so it’s March, and it is still freezing! Whaaaaaaat is going on!? We always have cold weather in March, but it is normally weaved in with a few days in the 60’s, and sometimes a day in the low 70’s will creep in once in awhile. This year, it’s all grey; and the forecast is grey and rainy. Where are my random sun days?! I’m trying to keep my head up, because let’s face it, this grey weather is starting to get old and depressing.

In order to brighten up the day, I have been pairing tee shirts with jeans and spring accessories. Of course, I still need to throw a winter coat over my looks in order to not freeze to death. I have been wearing this spring cross body bag for a few days now, and I am falling in love with it! It’s just the right size to fit everything I need to carry around, and it also has a funky, black/white design which I love. In addition, it has this really comfortable cross body strap, and it also has a second strap for converting the bag to a belt bag; not that I will wear it that way, I am anti-fanny pack, but I digress. It’s nice to know the bag has that option in case there is some weird reason I need to use it. haha

For years I have been wearing skinny stiletto, black heels when it is time to wear heels. This season I decided to freshen up my look with these on-trend, chunky black heels for the spring season. They are great for pairing with jeans, pants, skirts, and dresses. Since they have a patent finish, which is surprisingly soft and comfortable, they are easy to dress up or dress down. These will be nice and comfy for standing at parties and events. Love that!

I have been jumping on the resin/plastic trend this season too. I think these plastic accessories are so fun and retro. I remember when they were hot in the 1980s, and it’s a fun trend to revive this season. There is something festive about plastic jewelry in bright colors. Loving it!

Stay tuned! I will be doing a review of this fun little cross body bag later this month.

Thanks for stopping by!
