For just a hint of neon this spring, try a natural straw tote trimmed with the dayglow hue. Rebecca Minkoff will get you the look for $195, but I found another bag that will let you try this trend for just $28.50. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below!

Spring is in full effect, and you can feel the heat in the Bisou Bisou Spring 2012 lookbook. With the brand's signature prints ever present, Bisou Bisou showcases tribal print tops, vintage florals and vivid maxi skirts and dresses. In addition to the bright and eclectic prints, the collection is also chock-full of colored denim and color blocking - like fuchsia skinny jeans and a cobalt blue sateen blouse. I can't say that a denim maxi skirt is on my spring fashion short-list, but I might check out the colored denim on my next trip to JCPenney. Click through to see the whole lookbook which you can shop now at jcp.com.

Just as floral jeans are all the rage, so too are floral denim shorts. One version by Current/Elliott costs $168 at bloomingdales.com while the look for less is just $17.80. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below!

Refinery 29 recently invited myself along with two of my favorite bloggers, Grace Atwood from Stripes & Sequins, and Jenni Radosevich from I Spy DIY, to create original spring-theme nail art designs in their New York City offices.

Grace did a sweet "Garden Party" pointillism manicure, Jenni went for a "Hot Mod" colorblock design, while I created a "Coachella Nights" inspired landscape.
