COVETING: Steve Madden Noahh boot in Stone Leather (also in Black Leather, Black Suede, Cognac Leather, and Taupe Suede)
www.stevemadden.com; $129.95
I'm desperate for a pair of darling short boots for spring -- and these Steve Maddens fit the bill perfectly. I love the chic shape and perfect gray color; it would be fantastic paired with anything from a pair of dark skinny jeans to a short, flirty sundress. I think I need a pair in every single shade.
The idea of pastels for spring is one which seems like such a no-brainer: they're light, flirty, and everything that spring fashion should be. However, I find that I often grow distracted in a sea of bright florals and bold neon shades, forgetting about their pale counterparts completely (especially as most pastels tend to wash me out anyhow). With these tones all over the runways for spring, though, they're at the forefront of my mind -- and I'm desperate to find as many ways to wear them as possible, from my nails to my shoes and everything in between.
Essie Nail Polish in Sugar Daddy
www.beauty.com; $8
When it comes to a quick, easy, incredibly nonpermanent way to try out a trend, nail polish is the greatest way to do it. I adore this pretty Essie shade -- in the softest pink, it's perfect for spring and a way to try the pastel trend that won't make even the palest of us look anemic.
J Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans in Coral (also in Nude)www.shopbop.com; $170
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of colored jeans; however, these pretty coral ones have a special place in my heart right now. I love that I could still pair them with knee-high boots when it's chilly, but they'd be so chic with a pair of flat sandals as days grow warmer. And with a pair of fantastic pumps and a pretty chiffon shirt, these would be perfection for evening.
Gap Pleated Trench Coat in Praslin Green (also in Pink Light, Active Blue, and Blue Galaxy)
www.gap.com; $98
I love a trench coat. I love a colored coat. A colored trench? Sounds like an instant winner to me. This Gap one is absolutely darling -- it would be perfect over a dress or so chic with a pair of wide-leg trouser jeans and heels. Such a perfect statement piece for everyday.
Lulu's Cloudburst Light Blue Striped Dress
www.lulus.com; $39
Another way to introduce the light-hues trend into your wardrobe is in a print -- and these stripes are brilliant. I love the alternating shades in this dress, and the shape is absolutely darling: so fun and flirty for spring.
How are YOU wearing pastels this spring?

Thanks to Steve Madden, beauty.com, J Brand, Gap, and Lulu's for the photos.

I bought a cute lemon and white striped tee the other day but apart from that I've been on a bit of a Bright's buying spree with a bright green and a bright orange dress! ha ha :)
Love, Vanilla
I love that green trench coat! I have wanted a trench coat for ages and have never found one that I've liked the fit or even the color of. I think I'll be watching for one this spring, especially in a fun color like that!
love that pastel color of nail polish! :)

i love these spring colors. I can't really do too much pastel so i'll stick with my neons and brights!
You have such amazing taste, love all of these! I'm especially lusting after the leather boots and the Jbrands! Perfection.
