A bucket bag is perfect for summer travel - as a cross body it's not easy for pick pockets to grab, it's easy to carry, and it keeps your hands free for snapping photos while sightseeing! This neon yellow leather style by Tel Aviv-based Etsy sellers Stella and Lori is on trend and the perfect size to carry all your daily essentials.

Neon Yellow Drawstring Yellow Bag - $202 at Etsy

Last week we stopped by designer Kal Rieman's pop up shop that's open in NYC this month, and we were immediately drawn to her eye catching polka dot pieces (the perfect complement to her pops of bright tomato red). We're all about fun pants this spring, so of course we're dying for a pair of these:

The silk pleat pants are both playful and elegant, with a look that is luxe yet relaxed at the same time. Not feeling bold enough for polka dots? They also come in more subdued yet still chic shades of red and cream.

Taking a unique direction for Fall/Winter 2012, Houghton's first collection consists of a light palette of ivories, blushes and whites - a refreshing change from the typical racks of black, grey, and navy. Designed by established NYC stylist and former Badgley Mischka Couture design assistant Katharine Polk, the new luxury line will include long tailored coats, menswear-inspired suits, and hand-beaded statement gowns with a bit of edge. We can't wait to find these amazing silk cashmere and chiffon pieces in stores next fall.

aztec-neon-nail-art_thumb.jpgEtsy is where we turn for unique handmade jewelry, clothing, and home wares, but now we've discovered something else amazing on the site: nail art. These hand painted fake nails by CompulsiveNails are one-of-a-kind and come with nail glue and application instructions. There are so many funky options, we can't pick our favorite - head over to the Etsy shop to see them all.

If there's one accessory you're allowed to be truly playful with at all times, it's your umbrella. After all - if you're going out in the rain, you might as well have some fun! These bright options from Australian line Gina & May are the perfect alternative to boring black rain gear, with eye catching graphic prints and color combinations. Founder Gina Pollock launched the line in 2009 with her mother as the solution to her troubles finding an umbrella that was both stylish and durable. Some of our favorites are already sold out, but you can still shop some fabulous umbrella styles online at ginaandmay.com, with prices ranging from about $35 to $65.

Maybe it was the Kentucky Derby, but we're putting a chic wide brimmed hat on our fashion to do list this season. We love the ladylike, retro vibe these hats bring, and of course they also provide the essential function of shielding your face from harmful UV rays. This 70s-inspired wavy style is ultra glamorous and perfect for pairing with a classy daytime dress or sleek wide legged pants. 

Straw Hat - $81.25 at EllaGajewskaHATS Etsy shop.

Nude and neon are a match made in fashion heaven - they contrast each other in a way that is just perfect. When we spotted these shorts by Laugh Cry Repeat (brought to you by the designers behind Anzevino & Florence) at Revolve, we immediately started planning all the ways we could wear them. A slouchy tee and chunky platform sandals by day (throw on a blazer if needed), and a silk tank with stiletto pumps by night. These are definitely a summer style must-have.

Laugh Cry Repeat Short in Nude/Neon - $127 at revolveclothing.com
