SPRING FLING, from page 22
“I don’t know who invented the high heel, but all men owe him a lot.” —Marilyn Monroe Sunshine, happy faces and freshly picked corn— nothing says spring like yellow. Brighten up your feet and practically any wardrobe (you can wear yellow like a neural in warmer months; goodbye, black!) with this yellow and wood sling back. And with the closed toe, even on the days when you haven’t had a chance to get your pedicure retouched, no one has to know your secret. Shoe Bar at Pieces, $98
Delicate gold teardrop-shaped earrings with a little something extra hanging from the middle says, “I’m classy, I’m fun and ready to flirt.” Handmade by a local jewelry designer for the Miss Monk line, you’re bound to get plenty of attention for your ear jewelry. Shoe Bar, $60
Roomy, bold and gold, oh, my! From its trendy top handle to the cutouts that make even a bag airy for spring, this mustard-yellow handbag will carry just about everything you may need while you’re out. There’s even enough space for a change of clothes, should you need it. Lipstick Lounge, $55
Spring means florals and billowy fabrics; this skirt offers both. The side elastic waistband allows a fashionista to pull it on and wear it as a high-waist skirt or a bit lower on her natural waist. Pair the skirt with any top (a tank, vintage blazer or blouse) any shoe (from Chuck Taylors to peep toes) and an unexpected accessory, and you’re liable to be stopped for a certain newspaper’s new street-style feature. Just saying. Libby Story, $44

When spring turns summer scorcher, remind yourself of the beautiful spring days with this hand-painted, toggle-clasp bracelet. The bracelet’s greens, blues and yellows on your wrist are sure to lift your spirits and get you a compliment or two. B. Liles, $125
