glitter and rhinestones.

The spring look, in its entirety, is typified by the new line of shoes from that fashion maven, Paris Hilton. Her new line, Paris Hilton Footwear features two shoes that describe the entire season.
One is "Savor"-a leopard print patent peep toe flat with silver accents, incorporating three looks: peep toe, silver and animal print.
She herself wore a yellow patent pump to her show at Fashion Week. What does that tell you?

SHOPPING TIP:
When purchasing fashion-forward item in a hot seasonal color, update your look with an accessory in that color, rather than a whole item. For instance, purchase a lemon yellow scarf this season, rather than a whole raincoat.
Shoes are another way to update a look and create fashion forward, at little expense.

Spring is the time to lighten the color palette, and enjoy the fresh new season. Add a few new items in the colors and styles of the season and you can create a modern seasonal look.
