Nude Sandals — Your Secret Weapon to Instantly Longer Legs

Not everyone is blessed with supermodel genes, so with warmer weather springing up, we're looking for ways to lengthen our stems before slipping into our cute shorts and Summer dresses.

by Chi Diem Chau

Not everyone is blessed with supermodel genes, so with warmer weather springing up, we're looking for ways to lengthen our stems before slipping into our cute shorts and Summer dresses. Our secret weapon to instantly longer legs? Nude sandals — and this season, the virtual shelves are stocked with covetable styles to complete your ensembles. The key to maximum leg-lengthening appeal is making sure your ankle straps are always nude-hued; it's also amazing what a nude-hued pedicure can do (we love Essie's Sand Tropez option) for an even more seamless look. From white dresses to bright prints, nude sandals work with just about any outfit (the power of neutrals!), so needless to say, they're worth the investment. Big budget or small, we've got you covered — click on to see and shop our favorite nude sandals on the market right now!

Olivia Palermo's Off-the-Rack Look Is Today's Reason to Shop at Zara

We usually want pretty much everything Olivia Palermo is wearing — here's the proof — fortunately, we can actually get it this time around.

by Hannah Weil

We usually want pretty much everything Olivia Palermo is wearing — here's the proof — fortunately, we can actually get it this time around. When the style star stepped out last night in NYC, she mixed and matched three of Zara's high-street pieces in one evening-chic ensemble, giving us the off-the-rack proof of each piece's potential. She gave Zara's Double Breasted Blazer ($100) a cool-girl makeover when she paired it with leather bottoms, then proved the power of great accessories with both Zara's Neon Minaudière ($36) and Zara's Multi-Strap High Heel Sandals ($90). No, it's not the first time Miss Palermo has relied on the label as the foundation for a killer outfit, but it's another testament to the fashion darling's high-low styling skills that you can apply to your own wardrobe — starting with these three pieces.

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.

by Hannah Weil

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.

Zara's TRF April Edition Casts Spring's Trends in the Coolest Light

Consider Zara's TRF April edition a look at Spring's pastels, florals, and '90s-inspired denim through a cooler lens.

by Hannah Weil

Consider Zara's TRF April edition a look at Spring's pastels, florals, and '90s-inspired denim through a cooler lens. Essentially, if you've deemed any of the season's big trends too sweet or maybe just not wearable, this lineup could quickly change your mind with its easy, albeit eye-catching, ways to outfit everything from softer color palettes to printed sandals. White boyfriend jeans are topped with a sporty zip-up that's washed in a global, graphic pattern; flower-print separates feel more sporty than girlie, thanks to a sweatshirt-style top; and acid-washed denim gets a moto-inspired makeover. In short, Zara does what it does best (yet again), turning out the most wearable versions of even the trickiest trends and styling it all just right. Needless to say, the lineup invokes an immediate "we have to have it" reaction to just about every piece. Click through and you'll see just what we mean.

Street-Style Proof That Spring's Denim and Tee Basics Can Be Polished

Your Spring wardrobe revamp doesn't always have to be a dramatic one, and we're looking to this street-style subject for proof of a more subdued kind of seasonal overhaul.

by Marisa Tom

Your Spring wardrobe revamp doesn't always have to be a dramatic one, and we're looking to this street-style subject for proof of a more subdued kind of seasonal overhaul. Between the eye-catching distressed jeans, the abundance of classic white layers, and the polished shoe choice, this is the kind of outfit that makes it impossibly easy to strike a balance between casual and chic. To achieve a similar effect, keep your worn-in, distressed jeans handy, then pair them with a white t-shirt (the more relaxed, the better) and an oversize white jacket. A white blazer or longer car-coat style will work just as well. As for the accessories, stick to the sophisticated basics, like black slingback pumps, a gold watch, and a neutral-toned bag. Now, shop the essentials below.

Shop, clockwise from top left: J.Crew Perfect-Fit Boatneck Button Tee ($27, originally $33), Reiss Finlee Gathered Back Coat ($425), Marc by Marc Jacobs Mini Marci Mirror Watch ($200), Mango Touch Zipped Bowling Bag ($90), Zara Chain Court Shoe ($50), Topshop Moto Vintage Lacey Rip Jeans ($84)

A New Batch of Floral Prints to Covet, Thanks to Zara's April Lookbook

Zara's April lookbook is rife with the kind of pieces that perfectly capture Spring's breezier sensibility.

by Marisa Tom

Zara's April lookbook is rife with the kind of pieces that perfectly capture Spring's breezier sensibility. That's not to say there aren't more polished styling counterparts — because there are — but if we're to forecast the month ahead according to Zara, it's looking like a laid-back affair. The floral prints, which are reminiscent of scenes stolen right off of a vintage china plate, take shape on cap-sleeved shifts, shorts sets, relaxed blouses, and pencil skirts. The quintessential blazer comes oversized with bold buttons, in a soft pastel blue tuxedo iteration, and cut in a longer double-breasted silhouette. And where there's silky texture, there's a flowing red jumpsuit, a sportier colorblocked maxi dress, and palazzo trousers to indulge in. Zara's latest is certainly something to be inspired by, and lucky for us, it's also within our wallet's reach. See the complete lookbook here.

Along with longer days in the sun, iced coffees, and fresh flowers, our favorite part of Spring is a closet refresh.
