With only a few weeks till Spring, it’s time to start updating your wardrobe for the new season. While it’s still a little chilly out, the easiest way to do this is with your accessories. One of the biggest trends? Pastels!

Fashion week can be such a tease sometimes. The designers are a season ahead so what came down the runways last week in New York is actually for fall later this year. But there was one trend that you can easily incorporate now: black and gold.

Black and gold was everywhere from the clothing to the makeup. At Reem Acra (1), gowns were bedazzled with glamorous shine. At Alice + Olivia (2), there was black and gold clothing and even black Essie manicures with gold polka dot nail art! At Tracy Reese (3), gold glitter eye makeup mimicked the sparkly dresses and metallic footwear.

I’m the first one to admit I was hesitant when beanies were all over fashion week. Sure, they’re functional but a knit cap with a dress? Would I ever wear that? The answer is still no. But I certainly love that since beanies are now trendy, there are more hat options to wear with jeans this winter.

A chunky necklace is the easiest way to dress up any outfit from jeans to an old black dress. Luckily there are brands like BaubleBar that make pieces that look ten times more expensive than they are.
