I think fringe necklaces are going to be big for the spring. A great one I found at a great price is this Chan Luu necklace from Calypso for under $15 when you use the code FINALSALE311 to get an additional 50% off final sale:

In fact, I have been seeing a lot of Chan Luu, but more bracelets and scarves than anything else. I will keep a look-out to see if any of it goes on sale.
In terms of footwear - I am really digging a good pair of biker boots to take me from winter into spring. These boots from JCrew have a touch of bad-ass but are also toned down. Plus - I love the gray suede and the low-calf height. $70 (when you use code) is not bad for a pair of great boots that will take you from now to spring. Use code SHOPNOW to take an extra 30% off sale.
In terms of warmer weather options, I think Grecian sandals are back this season. Kenneth Cole has a bunch of great pairs for an additional 50% off. I like the ones below (under $45) because they can be casual or dressy:
In terms of bags, I think small cross-body bags will be very popular, and I also think they are very convenient and practical. The smaller the better because then you carry less stuff! For $15, the bag below from Kenneth Cole Reaction (also matches sandals above) is adorable and comes in two colors.
Another great bag at a great price and with some great detail is the one below from Kate Spade. It is big enough to use for work or as a baby carry-all! Plus, I love the great chain detail on the handle which I think will be very big this season!
A good cashmere wrap is a great investment piece! There is a great one by Lilly Pulitzer on Bloomingdales.com that comes in two great colors (personally, i prefer the green!) for under $140.
If you are not ready to make such a big investment, Madewell has a great shawl for $15. However, it doesnt come in bright colors, it is either cream or grey. The benefit to getting a basic color is that it will match pretty much everything!
Another easy accessory for the season transition is a great scarf. If you are looking for some great scarves - a great way to add a burst of color near your face and to introduce different patterns, like floral, stripes or paisley , into your wardrobe - Madewell.com has some great ones on sale for under $20!
Lastly, a girl can never have too many pairs of tights! I have been seeing a lot of bright colored tights, but I don't think I am ready for that. I prefer to get a neutral color, brown, grey or black, and pair them with a bright shoe. I usually get mine at the Gap because I love the quality and when they go on sale they are very affordable! For $5.00, you wont get mad at your dog if she rips into them! Nordstrom Rack online also has some good options on sale from DKNY and Spanx.
As a final thought, if you are looking for a new pair of sunglasses (I'm looking for a pair of cat-eye ones) check out OffSaks. They have great designer brand sunglasses for under $100!!!
