Spring Inspiration

Let's celebrate March! Everything is a little bit brighter and cheerful in spring.

I can't wait for it to get warmer (and sunnier). So I wanted to do a little

welcoming Spring celebration board, hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I immediately was drawn to these flowers because they look so lush. I just want

to bury my head in them and inhale the intoxicating smell. I love getting fresh

flowers for the house because they bring such great positive energy into

a home and always put a smile on my face.

     

I look forward to cherry blossom trees with an unexplained childish vehemence.

 It is one of nature's best creations and always takes my breath away.

And how darn cute is this tea?

Mouthwatering macaroons in different shades of pink, enough said!

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to appreciate the little things in life,
things that happen around us every day but we are too busy to take notice. 
This weekend celebrate YOU, do something that puts a smile on your
face and  leave all the worry and problems behind, if even for an hour.

Happy March 1st Friday!

Spring cravings

(1) Bejeweled sunglasses (a continues trend, which I have yet to add to my closet). A must alert has been issued.

(2) I have been a huge fan of hair bands for quite some time and have stocked up on a few pieces from BCBG MaxAzria, but this just takes it to a whole new level. A must try for spring. 

PS: Always loved that effortless, boho chic look, what do you think yay or nay?

(3) This one is a no brainer for me, yellow heels... YES... yellow heels with polka dots.... UM where do I swipe? I have recently acquired a hot orange pair from  J. Crew and intent to live in them come spring. But I have a feeling I will need more..

(4) For me, statement necklaces are a staple. It is the easiest way to spruce up any outfit, you know those times when you want to live in jeans and a t-shirt but still look somewhat presentable and chic.

(5) What is it about quirky clutches that makes me jump for joy? Don't know, don't care, all I know is that they are all welcome to join my closet. I recently fell head over heels (yes this happenes quite often I know) with this Kate Spade clutch and it is currently sitting and winking at me awaiting to take a spin around NYC.

 

(6) Where to start? Let's just gaze lustfully and enjoy all the colors, patterns, fabrics and so on..

Just when I thought I had smoothly avoided the flu and was now safe, I was hit with a harsh reality this weekend. Turns out I was not to be spared.  It's safe to say that the only times I have gotten off the bed this past weekend was to refill my ginormous Starbucks cup with more hot liquid. My guy has been nothing short of a miracle, running out to get chicken soup and buying what seems like a years supply of cold medicine. But enough about that, this is suppose to be a fashion blog after all. 

The point being is that unless you want to see my outfits (pj's) while under covers covered in tissues (let's delete that image from our heads) I will have to improvise for this week only (I hope). 

PS: these pictures were taking from various magazine publications, Vogue/Elle.

Stay warm and cold free!

Love,
