One of my favorite trends right now is the studded belt. We first saw the return of the belt on Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City Movie last year. I loved how the belt looked surprising perfect with a floral dress. The studded belt is everywhere this season, and budget retailers, including H&M and Express are offering them for an affordable price.

Another fav piece that has gone from the fashion runways to the streets is the statement necklace. A simple white T-shirt is transformed when paired with a fabulous necklace. You can choose from floral designs to geometric patterns, that are bib style or super-long and big. H&M and Target’s Erickson Beamon collection offer beautiful choices to try on a necklace to see which style suits you.

Remember that fashion is not about duplicating a model’s look in a magazine. It’s about finding your own style and what feels comfortable on you. Don’t try to follow all of the old rules. Have fun with fashion!

Some of the pieces from his collection, like the pink studded belt below, are currently on eBay for auction. Since the dresses are starting at $300, I hope to score some of the hot accessories, such as the studded belts and the beautiful print scarves, at affordable prices. Stay tuned for new photos for the summer collection from Williamson, which will be available at H&M stores on May 14. Did you check out the spring line at H&M?
