Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, the weather's getting warmer, and you know what that means...it's time to find a fresh new pair of spring heels! Don't fall behind with last year's styles'it's time to spring forward and find a fabulous pair that'll inspire you to strut your stuff! (After all, things are heating up, and spring heels will add a little sass and a lot of fun to any outfit.) But, with all the pastels going around, spring heels can be done...shall we say...not so well. So, we've gathered a very eclectic collection of this year's most fabulous options, showcasing the latest and greatest trends. Don't kick off this season without a pair of forget-me-not spring heels.

Our first trend in spring heels is the uniquely chic (and unexpected) embellishment! Whether this means a touch of hand-sewn embroidery, unexpected grommets, or just a hint of unforgettable fabric, designers are going gaga for small, creative embellishments. For instance, let's look to J Crew's 'Liza Satin Strappy Heels.' Standing at three-and-a-half-inches, these misty aqua colored heels feature fabulous Italian Tessitura silk satin uppers. Constructed in Italy, this strappy spring heel features a truly delicate silk flower detail on the over-the-toe straps. This otherwise traditional strappy sandal was built to showcase J. Crew's unexpected flourishing, finishing touch. Composed again of Italian Tessitura silk, this one-of-a-kind touch is truly unforgettable. While standing at roughly an inch wide, this particular embellishment is definitely not minute, its strong presence on a neutral background and thin, strappy feel make it much akin to a diamond in its perfect setting. Word to the wise: while this particular spring heel is embellished just right, be wary of overdone touches!

Another hot spring heels trend comes in the form of color choice'the underrated, and unexpected grey pump. Its true'spring heels seem the obvious shoe choice for pastels. But, with so many main wardrobe options coming in pastels and light prints, grey spring heels are both seriously fashionable and functional. For a pair of grey pumps done right, let's check out Modern Vintage's 'Lalla' Heel. These sophisticated, yet funky, spring heels are the perfect option for pairing with pale yellows, pinks, and green-blues. As a close-toed, pointed option, their versatility extends to print or solid dressed, skinny pants/jeans, and even a soft cotton skirt. This super sexy spring heel shines in its truly unique touch of an alternate patent/suede leather exterior. Plus, with a thicker, boxier heel, you'll easily be comfortable, no matter the occasion. Modern Vintage makes the cut for a fabulous pair of grey spring heels that utilize leather in an unexpected way. Look for grey options with small touches like this, and you'll definitely be strutting your stuff in these spring heels!

Now, for those of you who're really in for a fashion splash, we've got a trend that'll knock your socks off: seriously funky, bright prints. No longer is spring a time to be bashful. Look to Not Rated's 'Little Miss Perfect' Shoe for a truly unforgettable spring pattern. This three-and-three-quarter-inch round toe pump features a tie-dyed, floral mixed pattern, in yellow or turquoise bases, that will definitely make your appearance memorable! Its contrast cloth chunky heel, and cutesy bow embellishment tie in two of the latest trends for spring. So, don't fall behind in your new pair of spring heels. Picking a shoe with any of these sweet touches is definitely the way to go!
