Hermes has restocked their spring summer nail polish! If you were waiting to get your hands on it, you can find it online here. Love! In addition, Dior has released their summer nail polish and there is a fabulous golden hue and a blue polish. I am wearing the blue one as we speak! Love it!

As we breeze through the spring season and look towards summer, the anonymous handbag remains supreme. In addition, touches of glam are hitting the streets with metallic accents, more jewelry, and pops of color. Our minimalist style is starting to get a personality. As you add glam to your overall looks, remember no logos! They are horribly out of style.

When it comes to fragrance, spicy florals and florals in general are hot right now. Love these classic spring summer scents!

Barrel jeans for spring

My younger daughter was home for spring break, so we went to one of her favorite restaurants for lunch, Din Tai Fung. Since it was lent, and we went on a Friday, we ordered vegetarian dishes. This was my first time only eating vegetarian dishes at Din Tai Fung, and it turned out to be delicious! I highly recommend the Vegan Spicy Won Tons. So good!

After lunch, we wandered the mall and did a small amount of shopping, of course! I wore my barrel jeans with this short sleeve blue sweater. It was perfect for the spring weather and also very comfortable. I am really in love with these barrel jeans! They are comfortable and just the right length. I love how you can pick the length for these jeans. It makes it easy for someone like me who wears petites pants to get the right fit. If you are petite, you know the struggle! I’m thinking I need a second pair in another wash. . . mmmm. . .

What do you think of the barrel jeans trend? Have you hopped on the bandwagon? Or are you waiting for the next trend in denim? Or are you just staying out of the ever-changing denim trend game?

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more spring break coverage coming up! I have one break left with my son!

XOXO

The pops of color are starting to creep into our spring closets, and I am here for it! Keep investing in shades of blue, green, and pink as we move from spring into summer. They will be great add-ons to our neutral wardrobes, and also with each other!

That’s right! Color combos are back! As we move towards summer, look at matching your colors together and start seeing blue, green, pink, orange and yellow as neutrals in need of additional color. Street style is getting brighter and more light-hearted. Get ready!

That being said, the anonymous handbag is still king, so stay far away from logos; just add color! When it comes to handbags and shoes, only add one or two colors. Neutral hued handbags are always easier to incorporate into your wardrobe and will inevitably get worn more often. When you do add a color, pick your favorite hue which you feel you will wear the most often. For me, that’s blue followed by green or yellow. While I would love a bag in another hue, I know it won’t get worn very often.
