Spring Greens

I love the shape of a fiddlehead.

Lilies of the Valley
I'm not sure where I originally found this fantastic image.  So springy!
I love the color green.  There is no color that makes me think more of spring and new life.  Right now it's snowing, cold and gray out my window.  Hopefully Chicago will experience some bright, spring green in the very near future.  In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed these images!

Accessorize

Accessories -- Something nonessential but desirable that contributes to an effect or result.
Missoni Metallic Patchwork Scarf

 I don't know about nonessential, but I certainly do agree that a properly chosen accessory makes a huge contribution to the overall look of an outfit.  The right accessories can even enhance one's home, showing of the owner's personality. This spring I have my home mostly completed, but I can always use a few new pieces for my wardrobe.  Enjoy some of the finds from various on-line retailers, such as Saks, Nordstrom and others!  And I hope everyone goes out to find new spring essentials. 
Chloe Marci Crossbody Bag

Celine Red Leather bucket bag 
I love this bag!  It's so classic. It comes in blue, but I just love the red for spring and summer.  I'm imagining wearing this bag with white jeans, a grey tank or t-shirt and a simple leather sandal.  It's my obsession. 

As for shoes.  You'll generally see me roaming around in either a cute pair of flats or a great wedge.  I'm only 5'4" and I figure that gives me license to wear something that makes me taller.
