Spring Air

I managed to snap this shot last week when NYC was having absolutely perfect weather: slightly chilly in the mornings, but warming to a glorious sunny day. The cherry blossoms have arrived ahead of schedule and other flowering plants have followed suit, including this tree in my backyard. It's not just the plants though, this warm weather has caused the entire city to bloom. Even though the weather has gotten back to more normal March temps, people still seem lighter and more eager.

Spring Pastels

 

One of the spring trends I am most looking forward to is the soft pastels that are popping up everywhere. Now just to incorporate some into my very jewel toned wardrobe.

Uniform

I think everyone has a uniform. Those things you grab on days you just want something easy and effortless to wear, the pieces and silhouettes that are comfortable and you KNOW will work. For me, it's a t-shirt and a skirt.

A Very Flapper Halloween

 

I have a confession to make. I have been having a love affair with the 1920s for a long time now. Even this blog is titled after a chapter in a Fitzgerald novel. My love knows no bounds. So of course, when I needed a casual Halloween outfit, I put together a daytime flapper look, modernizing it somewhat for all day wearablility.
