Spring Forward Fashion

I don't know about you, but I am ready for SPRING! New York Fashion Week just passed, and all the hot trends are out and being flaunted and I just can't wait to get my spring style game on!

Here are some treasures I've come across recently while I was procrastinating browsing the internet doing blog research. Enjoy!

In looove with these hot pink Coach sunglasses! If only I had some spare cash to burn on these babies...

How cute are these? I love how they look paired with the shiny black leggings. Sigh...spring where are you so I can where these while I ride my bike and look cute?

I rarely wear heels because a) they are usually very uncomfortable, and b) I'm already tall enough, but I have no problem admiring how hot they look. These 2-toned beauties from Proenza Schouler are too cute.

I love everything about the Peter Pilotto for Target Collection. In stores now!

How rockin' is this? I kind of NEED it. Cynthia Rowley.

I have always been into the sheer cut-out look, and was so excited to see if come back into style in late 2012/2013. Looks like the trend is still going strong with this sexy top from Intermix. And how well would it match either of the two skirts below..?

This one from Marks and Spencer is perfect for daytime....

...and this one would be perfect with that Intermix top on a hot date or night out with the girls, from Next.

Alexander McQueen. Enough said.

So, it looks like there is a lot of white and black going on for this season, and lots of textures and interesting floral-type patterns. Bright hues paired with neutrals and big, bold jewelry will be popular again.

Do you have a favorite trend for spring? Lmk in the comments!

More cool stuff

So...another day, another week. In the last seven days I tried some new recipes, played in the snow with Lily, dug out the walkway and my car, hid indoors from the snow, watched Finding Nemo five times....so, you know, typical snow-weather stuff. 

I am SO over the snow.

And MORE is coming..!

*sigh*

I'm moving to Coasta Rica....

Anyway, not much other than all the snow got me down, so here is a list of 10 cool things. Enjoy...

Yes and yes. (plus a subtle nudge at pro gun-control policies?)

1. The return of The Walking Dead! WOOT! I gotta be honest, I didn’t like this show when it first came out, but my husband is a hardcore zombie fan and roped me in, and now I can no longer deny the interesting characters, compelling script, and unique storylines. Fabulous mid-season opener. Finally getting a peek into Michonne's history...

2. I tried a new recipe. Apparently braised celery ain't too bad.

3. My daughter's rad coloring skills. Not bad for a 3 year-old, eh?? (well, she'll be 4 soon, but still).

4. This new car that's coming out.

 
5. Dumb Starbucks. Made me giggle.

 6. Coconut oil. It's awesome. You should make the switch and enjoy the abundance of health benefits it offers, such as its anti-bacterial properties, antioxidants, and how it works wonder for most skin problems. 

7. Mucha-inspired Disney princesses. Because look how pretty! I always loved the art nouveau style, but I never heard of Alphonse Mucha until I came across these inspired artworks. 

Ariel has always been my favorite :)

8. These beautiful portraits of the artist's 5 year-old daughter inspired by historical artworks. 

Where does he get the costumes??

9. Rocky Ridge Refuge– an animal refuge founded by an incredible woman who desired to help animals in need by opening up her home to them. 

 Cute. OVERLOAD.

10. This picture of my Lily enjoying our non-stop snow days :)

So, at least there's that when it comes to the white weather. But, still. Give me back the summer, I'm ready!!
