1/5Coming Up Roses
Nine West's gathered clutch is a gorgeous interpretation of this season's floral trend. The rich monochromatic red and pink rose print almost looks like it was painted with watercolor. And topped off with a chic gold twist clasp closure, this purse is nothing less than glamorous.

Nine West gathered clutch, about $69. (800) 999-1877.
2/5Eye Candy
This brooch by Tatty Devine could be the love child of two darling spring collections, combining Luella’s geek-chic glasses with Marc Jacobs’ playful Lego accessories into one adorable trinket. You could wear it on the lapel of your blazer or pin it to a spring bag—either way is bound to be eye-catching.

3/5three cheers for McQueen!
Wholesome American cheerleaders aren’t the first people who come to mind when you think of Alexander McQueen. But when it came time to shoot the ad campaign for the designer’s Olympic-inspired spring McQ collection, the bold Brit directed his team to none other than a football stadium (and yes, we mean American football) in the middle of UCLA’s college campus. One of the winning results can be seen here. Perhaps a change of uniform is in order for California’s star cheerleading squad?

4/5Flower Power
Florals blossomed everywhere on the spring runways, from Gucci to Luella. We even spotted Mary-Kate Olsen playing up this girly trend at the recent Annual Winter Dance in New York. Now Chanel takes it one step further by bringing you flowers in your eye shadow compact! Choose from four cute ’fleurs’, each in a delightfully pretty shade, to brighten your lids—and your day.

5/5the royal blues
After Gossip Girl's debut last fall, everyone's been dying to get that put-together uptown look. Channel your inner Blair Waldorf with this satin dress by Vera Wang. You'll feel and look gorgeous—the midnight-blue hue gives the dress a bold but distinctly royal touch, and the rhinestone detail on the collar finishes the look perfectly. Top it off with a matching headband, and you'll have what it takes reign as Queen B.
