The Budget Babe

This spring's trends include something for everyone. Bold prints, especially those with a vintage feel, are especially appealing, as is glossy, glamorous patent leather. Enjoy both sparingly, however. You run the risk of having too much of a good thing with both these looks.

If prints frighten you, start with simple designs in black and white, like this perfect Bisou Bisou® Belted Dress. Jcpenney.com, was $70.00; now $49.99.

Kill two birds with one stone when you carry this yummy canvas tote. Covered in a multicolor tulip design, it also features patent leather straps. Target.com, $12.99.

We burned our corneas just lookin' at these sizzling Madden Girl™
Patent t-strap sandals. HOT. They look suspiciously similar to some Dolce & Gabbana's we've seen—a definite plus. Victoriasecret.com, $49.
