When May Day hits, NYC comes to life. A quick walk around the corner from our STT offices, and you’ll see Bryant Park littered with young professionals on lunch breaks, scarfing down salads and shedding layers to maximize their intake of midday sun. Seasonal weather and a lightened mood means a refresh of trends, as ladies get ready to lose their coats for good and embrace bare legs. We’re ready for April showers to move out, and May flowers (and accessories, and jewelry, and beauty...) to move in! Here’s what you can put on as your sweaters come off:

White – It’s the color (or lack thereof) of the season, and boy does it make an impact. Bright white pieces, especially when juxtaposed with vibrant hues, make more impact than you’d ever expect.

Brights – I know I just said white is the color, but brights are stiff competition. Instead of choosing, layer your most colorful pieces with your muted ones, and enjoy the sheer fabulousness that ensues. My pick is the Ace Bright Hinged Bangle...in every shade. Worn together. All the time!

Mom – We love her, so we’re celebrating her (as if we need a holiday to do so!). Snatch up jewelry, accessories and beauty that’ll spoil her.
