April Showers Bring the Perfect Reason to Shop These Cute Umbrellas

April showers are inevitable — and if you're in NYC today, they are a reality — but that doesn't mean you can't add a little sunshine to your day with a cute umbrella.

You'd Never Suspect That Half of Olivia Palermo's Outfit Is Shoppable at Zara

Part of what we love about Olivia Palermo's style is that it's all at once inspirational and totally accessible.

Part of what we love about Olivia Palermo's style is that it's all at once inspirational and totally accessible. The fashion pro knows how to mix and match our favorite high-street labels with her own eclectic-chic angle. Case in point: her latest Spring party look relied on two great pieces that you might never suspect are from Zara — and totaling just under $220. Her peachy-hued Zara lightweight coat ($159) is sophisticated enough to top your Spring party dresses or provide a sleek outer layer to your workwear, while her printed Zara miniskirt ($60) could provide the standout counter to a basic black tee or white blouse, just like it did here. Both make worthy investments to wear together, à la Olivia, or mix and match all season long — and the best part? They're not really major investments after all. And, if you're in need of more Olivia Palermo outfit inspiration? Check out all of her recent looks here.

Karolina Kurkova's Spring Layers Are Perfect For Peeling Away

Karolina Kurkova's most recent street-style look is hip, effortless, and especially ideal for Spring's finicky weather patterns.

Karolina Kurkova's most recent street-style look is hip, effortless, and especially ideal for Spring's finicky weather patterns. While out and about in NYC yesterday, the Czech stunner pounded the pavement in an outfit that was chock-full of chunky layers, yet had undeniable Springtime appeal. Karolina started with what very well may be the skinniest pair of Citizens of Humanity skinny jeans ever, then topped a cozy gray cashmere sweater with a tough-chic leather jacket — which, of course, she wore in the coolest way possible. Even though her layers may look too heavy for a warm day, it's actually the perfect ensemble for running around town, especially when your city hasn't quite figured out Spring weather yet. In addition to her edgy-cool clothing, Karolina's navy fedora, black ankle boots, and houndstooth satchel were statement pieces in their own right. What we love most about her look is that each piece could work just as well on its own as they do together — and you can shop similar items below to copy Karolina's Spring-ready look right now.

Mix Prints (and Wear Your Pajama Bottoms) Like This Street-Style Pro

If we're keeping tabs of all the Spring trends we want to wear (and we are!), then mixed prints pretty much top the list — and this Sydney Fashion Week attendee has the perfect way to pull it off, even for all of the print-on-print skeptics. What makes the outfit work? Approachable silhouettes, like a boxy t-shirt and easy pajama-style pants that make pattern on pattern feel nonchalant, not overdone. And, since we don't ever want it to actually look like we're wearing our pajamas in public, this showgoer countered her breezy bottoms with a pair of ankle-strap, block-heeled sandals, tasseled earrings to dress it up, and a structured satchel that makes this outfit just as well suited for work (with a white blazer!) as it is for play. Just shop our editors' picks below — aka all you need to pull off stripes and graphic print like a pro.

Rebecca Minkoff's Camera Bags Are Adorable — and Under $200!

As far as Spring handbags go, Rebecca Minkoff's adorable camera bags come pretty close to perfect — and they're all under $200.

As far as Spring handbags go, Rebecca Minkoff's adorable camera bags come pretty close to perfect — and they're all under $200. With a range of cool colors to choose from — though we think mint and light blue would look especially fresh with your warm-weather wardrobe — and a handy crossbody style strap, they may just be one of the best little day bags on the market. Of course, they're not necessarily made to house your camera (though you can definitely throw yours in there, especially for music-festival season!). This is more like the kind of bag you want to take with you on all of your daytime jaunts — from errands to lunch with the girls — perfect for holding all the essentials, like your wallet, phone, keys, and maybe a lipstick. Though the lighter-hued styles scream daytime, there's nothing wrong with also putting them in rotation after dark. If you love Rebecca Minkoff's adorable camera bags as much as we do, then shop your favorite hue below.
