Don’t give in to winter’s frosty chill without a fight! Instead of sticking to dark wools and neutral tones, brighten up your day by adding a few warm weather items to your daily look. Although it’s far too cold to walk around in shorts and sandals, you can remind yourself spring is just right around the corner with one of these fresh style choices:

1. Fruitz Watches

Simply glance at this colourful timepiece, and you’ll remember the smell of fresh summer fruit at the peak of ripeness. Whether you prefer blueberries, raspberries, or exotic dragon fruit, these brightly colored watches by Fruitz will definitely tease you with thoughts of spring!

2. Spring Colour Choices

The catwalks at the New York Fashion Week’s spring show lit up in bright orange and chartreuse. How can the winter blues affect your mood when you’re wearing such lovely warm-weather colours?
3. Add a Few Floral Touches

With floral prints also heavily represented in spring fashion shows, get an early start by adding a piece or two now. Pair a lovely floral camisole with a warmer jacket for an eclectic look.

4. Long, Romantic Skirts

This spring and summer, hem lengths have dropped. From knee lengths to flowing skirts that brush the floor, yards of fabric that catch the breezes are in, and minis and micros are out.

If you pair the lightweight fabrics of these newer items with a seasonal trench coat, you’ll be able to weather the storm outside while pretending springtime has already arrived while you’re inside!

5. Pre-Swim Suit Season

If you’re already dreading shopping for a new bathing suit, why not update your lingerie collection instead? Indulge yourself in a few lacy little next-to-nothings.

Not only will you feel renewed while wearing fresh silk and lace against your skin, it might inspire you to get a head-start on preparing for this year’s beach season.

6. Add a Bloom to Your Cheeks!

Who said that your spring-time look has to stop with clothing and accessories? Why not update your hairstyle or change your makeup for a lighter look? Nothing makes us feel more refreshed than a trip to the salon.

Make an appointment for a whole new you complete with a facial, cut or blow-out, and a makeup consultation. While you’re at it, why not add in a great spray-on tan?

7. Pamper Your Feet

While you may keep up with your manicure all year long, it’s easy to neglect your feet during the cold weather months. Why not give yourself a full-blown pedicure?

Although you can’t show off your perfectly-groomed toes in flip-flops and sandals just yet, it will make you feel better knowing that you could if you were suddenly gifted with a trip to the tropics. This year, it’s pretty much anything goes with nail colour.

Choose from the brightest neons, the darkest vibrant shades, shocking metallics, or safe neutrals.

By carefully pairing the new fashions of spring and summer 2011 with enough of your sensible winter clothing to stay warm, you can feel comfortable and fresh as a summer’s day!
