Spring 2010 Trends: Fashion Accessories for Women

I adore fashion accessories. Over the years, I have acquired quite a collection of belts, scarves, hats, and more jewelry than you can imagine. It seems that with each passing year, fashion accessories become more and more fun and whimsical, and accessories for spring 2010 are no exception. Here is a list of the hottest fashion accessories for women in spring 2010 and where to buy them online.

Feather Earrings

One of the most sought after earring styles this spring are ones made of feathers. Colorful, delicate feather earrings are a must have fashion accessory this year, and the best place to find feather earrings is etsy, the Internets largest handmade marketplace. Etsy has hundreds of shops that sell feather earrings in every style you can imagine, with colors ranging from natural browns and beiges to funky neons. Prices vary for every individual store, but many quality ones can be found for under twenty dollars.

1940s Inspired Veil Hats and Fascinators

Continuing with the feather trend, ladies hair accessories this spring are taking a step back in time, with gorgeous 1940s inspired veil hats and feather hair fascinators being the rage. These ultra feminine hair accessories can also be found on etsy, and different shops sell everything from simple hairclips with a few peacock feathers, to elaborate hats with veils, flowers, and fancy feather designs. Again, prices will vary depending on what shop you buy from and what style fascinator you desire. Forever 21 also has a nice selection of retro hair accessories, with many that are under ten dollars.

Cinch Belts

These tight, waist hugging belts are the must have item to cinch up your minidress or tunic. These belts come in a variety of colors, and the hottest look for spring is a solid colored cinch with an elaborate buckle in a fancy design such as a butterfly. Many trendy stores that sell fashion accessories such as Francesca's Collections carry a vast assortment of cinch belts (or statement belts as they are also referred to). Also, be sure to check your local thrift store for statement belts, as they were all the rage in the 1980s, and as such, many were given away to thrift stores as soon as that decade ended.

Scarves

Scarves in springtime? Yes, the fashion accessory normally associated with the autumn and winter months is sticking around for springtime. Many stores are now carrying pretty scarves in spring colors such as pink, yellow, and baby blue for the cooler spring months, with the hottest styles being ones trimmed with tassels or pom poms. Scarves can be found at any shop that carries fashion accessories, and Forever 21 has many for sale on their site for under ten dollars.

Lace Gloves

Believe it or not, frilly lace gloves are making a comeback into the fashion world. The style which was made popular in the 1980s by Madonna is being snatched up by fashion loving ladies in 2010 with a vengeance. Lace gloves in pretty pastel colors are perfect for spring, especially Easter Sunday, when worn with an elegant dress. The website glovepassion.com has everything you could possibly imagine in the way of lace gloves, from dainty white crochet to racy black fishnets, this site literally has it all and for very reasonable prices. This site is where I purchased a sweet pair of fingerless white lace gloves to wear with my Easter outfit this year.

If your budget is tight this spring, invest in one of these fashion accessories and your look will instantly be updated at a fraction of the cost!
