This season is all about wearing color, whether you love pastels, primary colors or bright neons. If you are looking for an easy and stylish way to add color to your wardrobe this spring, then a color block dress is a must-have for your shopping list.
Color block dresses combine two or more blocks or color to create a stylish look. These dresses take the guess work out of wondering how to style colors together because it is already done for you. You can just slip a color block dress on, and you're ready to go. These dresses are sure to be a hit for spring.

Trend alert: Beaded accessories for spring

Beaded accessories are huge this spring, and are definitely on the must-have list for fashionistas everywhere. Incorporate beads into your wardrobe with jewelry, footwear, bags, and other accessories to create a stylish spring look. Whether you prefer the intricate beading on an embellished clutch, or only a few beads added to a pair of hoop earrings, you are sure to find a beaded look that will turn heads this season. 
While out shopping, look for accessories that will compliment your wardrobe and reflect your own personal style. Beaded sandals or wedges will compliment a simple dress or your favorite white tank and khaki shorts. Instead of basic gold hoops, try some with fun, bold colored beaded accents. Add a beaded clutch to your look for your next special night out. 
If you are ready to start shopping for the perfect accessories, then check out these great beaded pieces available locally. You won't have to travel far to get these great looks!
