In addition to the cute shoes, I also snapped some photos of my favorite new spring pieces from the LC Lauren Conrad collection at Kohl's, which is having a big sale right now (when are they not having a sale?!) I spotted this denim vest and knew I had to have it, since it's such a versatile layering piece for spring/summer. See how cute Kristin Cavallari looks with a denim vest and white shorts (HERE), or Jessica Alba with a denim vest layered over a maxi dress (HERE)? I also couldn't resist buying this skirt with the prettiest beachy sailboat print that looked like something you'd find in an Anthropologie catalog on a French looking model riding a bike or something equally romantic. I wanted the white jeans, too, but um, not such a good idea with an 11-month-old. If you're looking for cute denim shorts, or a lovely dress for a special occasion, LC has you covered.

Kohl's is having a sale right now where you get 10%, 15% or 30% off with your Kohl's charge, plus $10 Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent (with or without Kohl's charge), so I stopped by my local store yesterday to scope things out. In the shoe department, I found a couple cute spring styles worth checking out, like these Apt. 9 slingback sandals featuring an on-trend block heel and neutral colorblocking. Simply Vera Vera Wang has a couple styles that fit the sporty/comfort shoe trend look that people are either loving or hating for spring, like this embellished style.

For cute and cheap espadrilles (a style you don't really want to spend a lot on anyways because they get dirty so quickly), check out this pair by So. And Candie's has you covered with everyday gladiators like this pair that will go great with skirts and rompers.

Finally, you can also get Birkenstock knockoffs by Mudd (here) or Sonoma (here), but as I mentioned on Instagram, I won't be partaking in this trend this time around.

I was hoping you could help me find a budget-friendly alternative to Nicole Beharie's look in the People Magazine "50 Most Beautiful People" issue. I'd die for that leather jacket and the earrings (well, the one you can see in the photo)! —Crystal B.

I, too, have been searching for a simple bar earring ever since seeing Cupcakes & Cashmere in her Zoe Chicco pair. I prefer dainty jewelry for everyday; it's also practical when you have a baby.

So, when you sent me this question, I started hunting in ernest and found (and purchased!) these bar earrings at BAUBLEBAR.COM ($24, gold or silver):
