With springtime comes the inevitable spring shower. Thankfully, there’s no need to settle for lackluster style when it’s pouring outside. Cute, rain-ready accessories really brighten up your look even through grey skies.

Animal prints are really taking over fashion in a big way, not only this season, but year round. How can you not love a print that’s bold yet neutral at the same time? Leopard print in particular is becoming one of the hottest prints to see and be seen in. Play around with leopard print by throwing in a bright pop color with your accessories or mix it up by adding a different print like floral (as seen on the last outfit below).

Since my team and I are off to Costa Rica once again for our Spring 2012 style shoots, I thought it was only fitting to start off the year’s first Style Destination post with where else—Costa Rica!

With its lush, green landscape and gorgeous coastline, Costa Rica is definitely a tropical playground. Being comfy and cool is top priority when packing for any tropical destination. Here are a few of my essentials for this trip:

1. Goorin Brothers Malibu Hat: Humidity and hair just don’t mix. This lightweight fedora is a must for easy, fuss-free hair!

2. Reef Butter 3 Flip Flops: I love how cushy and comfy these sandals are! They’re perfect for walking along the beach or sightseeing around town.

3. Ella Moss Rhapsody Cover Up Hooded Poncho: A sheer coverup is perfect for throwing on while you enjoy a little poolside cocktail!

4. The North Face Women’s Horizon Tempest Pant: A pair of lightweight and breathable roll-up pants is perfect for those sudden downpours.

5. Oakley Dispatch II Polarized: These oversized shades keep the glare away while looking totally glam.

6. Keen Whisper Sandals: We do a ton of walking around in different terrain during our shoots, and these durable waterproof sandals are a lifesaver.

7. Gabriella Rocha Alika Bikini Set: An adjustable bikini doubles as a great layering piece underneath those slinky tank tops and summer dresses. I like to bring a few during my trips!

We’re falling head-over-heels with wintry Nordic and fair isle prints, and it’s easy to see why! There’s something so cozy and plush about this cold-weather trend. It just puts us in the mood to sip some hot cocoa by the fireplace!

Even if you can’t make it out to Aspen or Vail this winter season, you can still indulge in a bit of ski lodge style. Check out some of our current faves:
