We picked out lush layers, statement sleeves, florals, denim separates, super bright colors, and neutral basics for the warm weather ahead. Take a look at some of the pieces and spring fashion trends that are inspiring the #CrossroadsNewCollection this season!
Florals and Yellow
It’s just not spring without florals! We love how prints are bigger and bolder this season!
Denim
Denim, denim, and more denim please! Denim shorts and jackets are a must come spring!
Bright Pops of Red
Bright cherry red will continue to dominate this season. Try an all-over red look or use it as an accent color!
Stripes and ’70s gym-inspired
It’s just not spring without stripes! You’ll be seeing a lot of ’70s gym-inspired tees and trousers with piping and striped accents.

What’s colorful and striped all over? The newest fashion trend this season! The sophisticated rainbow stripes trend has been spotted on all of our favorite fashion bloggers, and we’re all for this statement combination. New to the look? Get started with these outfits for inspiration!
1. When in doubt, say yes to thick-knit sweaters and high-waisted denim.
2. Pair a colorful striped skirt with a plain white v-neck tee to create a cute and casual outfit that’s perfect for spring!
3. Break all the rules this year by mixing a rainbow stripe sweater with another bold pattern, like leopard print.
4. One of the easiest ways to wear the colorful stripe trend? A vertical striped dress in a flattering fit-and-flare cut.
5. Drape a rainbow striped scarf over your neutral-colored outfit for that coveted pop of color!
6. Upgrade your jeans-and-a-tee look by opting for a colorful striped sweater instead. Half-tuck your sweater to complete this easy, chic look.

Finding the perfect fit can be hard, but at just $30 a piece, we recommend grabbing more than one pair. From classic skinnies to high-rise flares, this denim collection won’t last long!
Girlfriend Cut
These may be the perfect jeans for spring. They’re slightly relaxed through the leg, with light distressing and a medium wash. Pair them with our Layered Tee in Heather Grey ($22.50).
Stovepipe (Mom) Jeans
My personal favorite cut. Featuring a super high rise but straight through the leg silhouette—it’s the perfect pair for cuffing! Pair it with our Patch Ringer Tee ($16.50) for subtle camp vibes.
Skinny Jeans
Everyone needs at least one pair of classic black skinny jeans. These feature a mid rise and are extra skinny through the ankle! Pair them with our Ring-Back Tee ($22.50).
Flare Jeans
Kick back and dial into your inner ’70s child with these high-rise flared jeans. Add our Ombre Denim Shirt Dress ($35) over it and wooden clogs to complete the look.

February 7th, 2018 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Cold Weather Accessories to Get You to Spring
We’re in that long final pre-spring stretch, and while you may feel like your only fashion options are a down coat that closely resembles a sleeping bag or a coat that barely keeps you warm, there are still ways to brave the cold while keeping your style! Today, we’re sharing six trendy accessories that will mix things up until that glorious spring thaw.
Scroll on to see which accessories you should have on hand:
When it comes to the chilly weather, a faux fur vest will always be in style.
I can’t count how many times I’ve reached for a scarf to add that extra bit of flair to my outfit during winter. Anyone else like their scarves the same way they like their peanut butter? (…Chunky!)
While baker hats and dad hats might be trending this season, they won’t keep you as warm as a beanie can!
Don’t underestimate the power of earmuffs! Skip the plain black ones and opt for a pair with a faux fur finish to stay stylish on the go.
Pick up a sleek pair of gloves that have touchscreen capabilities, and you’ve scored yourself a win-win purchase.
Leave it to Rach Parcell, the blogger behind Pink Peonies, to make these cream white legwarmers a chic focal point of her winter outfit.
February 6th, 2018 by Jennifer Beile 5 Fashionistas to Follow on Instagram for Style Inspiration
Instagram has quickly become the fashion lover’s go-to for instant outfit inspiration. I would go so far to say that Instagram will—if it hasn’t already—quickly surpass the traditional blogger’s platform.
When you’re looking for outfit inspo, it’s as easy as plugging in a descriptive hashtag or simply scrolling through your feed in the morning. Just follow your favorite fashionistas for a daily dose of style delivered straight to you! Need somewhere to start? Take a look at five of my favorite fashion babes you should be following on Instagram if you aren’t already.
Anine Bing, aninebing
Designer Anine Bing (check out her self-titled line here) is the queen of chic and classic with just the right touch of modern. Known for her outfit uniform of graphic tees and blazers, Anine can also be seen rocking badass booties, leather jackets, and the denim of your dreams.
Casey Carlson, officiallyquigley
A little boho, a little rock and roll, and a lot of funk. Casey has a smile that lights up the entire room and definitely has fun playing dress up everyday. Fun fact: I met Casey at our local dog park before she moved out of the area, and our pups were obsessed with each other!
Lauren Johnson, discodaydream
Lauren is the ultimate cool girl, and I am almost embarrassed by the amount of likes she gets from me! She is an unlimited source of outfit inspo, whether I’m feeling chic, casual, or playful.
Chloe Miles, chloehelenmiles
Chloe is a total style chameleon and showcases her effortless chic fashion sense throughout her Instagram.
Zoe Lazerson, zoelaz
Zoe shares her personality through her fashion! A fan of color, Zoe nails playful yet wearable style and shows you how to wear just about every trend perfectly.
