We’re just one week away from the official start of spring, but with daylight savings (no more sunsets at 5 p.m.!) and the current 70-degree weather in Maryland, I’m ready to frolic through the closest field of blooming flowers. I’m also using the early signs of spring as an excuse to shop everything from maxi dresses to Mary Janes to refresh my closet.

However, no spring look is complete without a good accessory, so I went straight to my favorite retailer, Nordstrom, and rounded up 10 spring-ready accessories from Tory Burch, Longchamp, Coach, Brahmin, and more that I'll be adding to my cart this season.

Jenny Bird Doune Chunky Hoop Earrings

I recently spoke to Nordstrom’s fashion director, Rickie De Sole, about her predictions for this spring's hottest trends. One of her picks was chunky silver jewelry, so when I came across these Chunky Hoop Earrings from Jenny Bird, I had to add them to my cart. (If you aren’t a silver person, they’re also available in a plated gold.) They feature a sculptural C-shape that doesn’t fully connect around and a postback for easy on-and-off. Although they’re chunky, they wear on the smaller side. I’d pair these with a white midi-length dress and Mary Jane flats for a spring uniform De Sole would approve of.

Longchamp Medium Le Pliage Canvas Shoulder Tote Bag

Longchamp’s Medium Le Pliage Canvas Shoulder Tote Bag embodies the essence of spring while being a great everyday bag. It’s spacious enough to hold your essentials and can easily be dressed up or down, depending on your outfit — no wonder why even the royals can’t get enough of it. The bag comes in brown, red, and navy blue, and is made from a recycled canvas fabric and a water-resistant lining. It features a matching leather flap with a snap closure and an elongated leather top handle that fits over the shoulder. There’s a secondary external zipper closure for extra security and a larger internal slip pocket that’s great for holding the items you reach for most often.

Tory Burch The Miller Bangle Watch

Watches are my favorite accessory for any time of the year, but I especially love them for spring. This Tory Burch The Miller Bangle Watch has such an eye-catching design that’d pair beautifully with my spring capsule. The watch is available in gold and has a spiral element around the face, as well as an off-centered design. The band is more like a bangle, making it great for elevating more casual looks or pairing effortlessly with a dressed-up look.
