Spring is here, which means it's time to make the seasonal wardrobe switch. We understand the transition can get a little tricky, so we've enlisted our expert stylist, Kate D., to help with some quick-hitting tips.

Step aside winter, it's beginning to look a lot like spring. It's time to store away the herringbones and plaids, and make room for this season's biggest pattern trend: polka dots.

While the timeless motif is nothing new, the graphic dot received a chic upgrade for spring. The polka dot made a strong showing at New York Fashion Week in a wide array of high-fashion interpretations. This season, we're seeing spots come in fresh color palettes, modern silhouettes, and bold graphic prints for a totally modern feel.

Since this spotty trend won't be slowing down anytime soon, we asked our stylists to share how they would take this spring trend from runway to everyday.

For most, January is a month to reset and refocus. Here at Front Door Fashion, we think the same can and should be applied to your closet.

Today, our stylist Shera S., is going over some of the essential basics you’ll need for your new year closet refresh. With these items, you'll never have to worry about "not having anything to wear."

Shera S. with Front Door Fashion explains why she hand selected each of these wardrobe essentials.

At Front Door Fashion we don’t sell footwear but we absolutely know the importance it plays in the look of every outfit we style.  FDF Stylists include shoe suggestions in their written notes about each outfit.  They utilize what we call a “seasonal shoe card” that features photos of on-trend footwear.  This gives our clients a sense of what kind of shoe will complete the look of the outfit we’ve sent her. For a company that doesn’t sell shoes, we spend a lot of time thinking about what styles of shoes will work best with clothing items when buying our seasonal inventory.

At Front Door Fashion we recognize that every customer has her own preferences when it comes to style, fit, design and fabrication. Some of our customers choose to wear only the four natural fabrics (cotton, linen [from the flax plant], wool, and silk) while others are more than fine with synthetics like rayon, modal, spandex, and nylon. When it comes to leather and suede we have faux and real options for our customers who choose one or the other, or both. The quality of faux leather has improved vastly in the last several years to the point that it is difficult sometimes to distinguish faux from real. Faux leather used to have a negative stigma until Stella McCartney popularized the term "vegan leather." Whether you share Stella's viewpoint as more of a conscious connoisseur, or you appreciate and prefer the quality of ethically sourced leather, we've got options for everyone. Scroll on to see two Los Angeles-based brands, My Tribe and ASTARS. Both offer gorgeous faux and real leather clothing that we are using to create one-of-a- kind outfits for our one-of-a-kind customers.
