Spring is almost here, and because of the weather, we can practically feel it. There’s something about the spring that gets everyone into a good mood. It’s the time for new beginnings and a fresh start. The time for spring cleaning and getting out with the old and in with the new. There are a lot of things we want to start to aim for before the summer, and it is the time to get ready for the summer as well. Therefore, there are essentials you need in the spring to set the mood right. These are things that accentuate your style and mood each day of the fresh weather. Here is a list of things that will be essential for the spring season!

Booties

Booties are one essential for us girls to have during the spring. Think of it as a medium in between boots and regular shoes and in between the cold and hot weather. Booties, especially ones with heels, will make a perfect outfit!

Scarves

A scarf for the spring is also an essential that is needed for the fresh weather. The spring is the time of season where it can be cold in the morning and warmer in the afternoon; therefore, a scarf is important to find the medium between being cold and being too hot. Find a scarf with some print and you can style it up with a basic outfit for a lazy and comfy day!

Music

During the spring, there will come days where the weather will be inevitably beautiful and you cannot resist enjoying it; however, you’ll need something to enhance your day. Music is the best way. Music will boost up your good mood and give you a soundtrack for the day; here are a few songs to go well for days to come!

1. "Fade" – Kanye West It’s unfortunate that Kanye hasn’t released his album to the public. His album is only available on Tidal; however, this may cause him money due to arising links and piracy. If you were lucky enough to listen to "The Life of Pablo" (TLOP), however, you’d realize why he was so confident in this project. The flow of the album was great. Although it may not be classic lyrical Kanye, this album is still one of the best ones this year so far.
2. "Day Trippin' " – Kaskade World-wide touring DJ Ryan Raddon, otherwise known as Kaskade, has been making headlines since last year. This upcoming year he’s been touring non-stop from Asia to California. This song is from his latest album “AUTOMATIC,” a great diversity of dance, deep house and classic Kaskade.

Song such as “Silvia,” and “Animal” has been some of their most famous hits. However, CID in particular, remixes this song. CID is an upcoming DJ signed on Kaskade’s record label Arkade. He’s one of the DJs who I believe we’ll be hearing a lot from, so keep a look out for him!
4. "Dias Melhores" – Sango Sango is a DJ from Seattle, Washington. His remixes and songs are centered on his producing and remixing of old, ethnic tracks from various genres.

8. "Burned" – Thomas Sagstad ft. Wildo Kaskade Remix Thomas Sagstad and Kaskade have worked together before in tracks like “Under The Stars,” which was famous during 2014 EDC Las Vegas.

College Apparel and Rain Boots

As we also know, in the season of spring, we also have spring showers in April; therefore, in order to continue to go to class and put up with the rainy weather, you’ll need a college hat, raincoat and rain boots!

Getting In Shape

During the spring, you have about three months before the summer hits and it is the season for that beach bod. To prepare yourself for that time, get yourself a good comfortable workout outfit and training shoes that will help you have a full complete workout and become one step closer to a fit lifestyle!

The spring is the time to start new things and prepare for the good weather. With the anticipation of the end of the semester and the beginning of vacation, it is always important to appreciate every day and continue to work hard. Without these essentials, it may be harder to have motivation to chug on; however, the new season, along with these essentials, will bring about better weather and more optimism for the end of your semester!
