Kate Walsh's spring beauty picks

Kate Walsh says she adores the romantic floral and lacey styles that have become popular this season. "I love all things lace," Kate says, "It's so feminine."

Kate's fave spring styles

The trend for spring is no doubt flirty and feminine and it's all about feel-good style. But while spring is the perfect time to experiment with lace, ruffles, florals and bold accessories, Kate warns: Don't forget about what you wear underneath. "Lace dresses or jumpsuits that intentionally show undergarments are my biggest style pet peeve," she says. "That look is never flattering unless you're walking down a catwalk… or if you're a cat."

Go bold with your color choices this spring. Rich shades of salmon and coral are hot, as are bright yellows, peaches, pinks and plums.
