Have you felt it yet? The warm, sweet breeze that shouts open the windows, start the spring cleaning, buy pretty flowers? The warm sun that dares you to take off your coat and feel the warmth on your shoulders? Here in the Pacific Northwest are still experiencing cold temps with rain and snow however the birds are singing, we are noticing buds on branches, and the days are getting longer!
So in hopeful anticipation of what I know will be here eventually, I did a little shopping over the weekend.
If you haven't seen what Kate Spade has created for spring .. check it out. These bags would be great for traveling or packing up your favorite resort items.
Classic Kate Spade style - and you'd need the matching phone case {of course}
I'm thinking about picking these up .. nice little wedge, perfect with a cute little dress.

Ballet Flats
These are cute as well and I really like the little heel!
I picked up this little dress {not the best pic, but looks really cute on} and think I might throw a little navy cardigan over it, maybe a belt?
Also picked up some TOCCA - matched my dress :) and a light spring fragrance.
Can't resist Cleopatra! Did you know she used to bathe in MILK?
What's your favorite spring/summer fragrance? What's your warm weather style - tank top or a loose blouse? shorts or a capri? Maxi? Dress? Wedge or ballet flats?
On a side note: Mud is an issue here, and bath-time for the girls is a daily occurrence during our rainy season

ReplyDeleteI have been filling my closet with lighter colored clothes for the past two months in hopes of spring. Layla is cute and we know about mud around our home too. Dylan dog just had a bath and he couldn't get the pretty stink off him fast enough.

ReplyDeleteIt has been spring-like in the Boston area and I for one am just thrilled. That dress will be gorgeous on you! Layla made me laugh. She wasn't too happy.
