While it is still a bit chilly out there, blossoms are showing up on trees and shrubs while the sun is peeking through the clouds, offering a bit more warmth than a month ago. Signs of spring are here! Love that!
Since we can’t exactly wear sundresses and sandals just yet, we can still rock our cozy wide leg jeans and add a bit of spring to our looks with spring nail polish and investment handbags. This season is all about investment handbags and outfits in general. Classic vibes are what’s hot for spring and well into the new year. Think chic and clean.
This is the time to shop for investment handbags, practical footwear, and touches of spring. Soon, the stores will be stocked with spring and even a sneak peek at summer! Bring on the warm sun!

New York Fashion Week is underway, and once again, I will be watching and covering the shows from home. Don’t you love technology? I no longer have to brave the elements, insane New York traffic, and stand all day to cover the shows. I can do this from the comfort of my own home. My feet are so happy. Love that!
To kick off the fall/winter 2025/25 shows, Pantone has announced the top colors for the fall/winter 2025/25 season hot off the New York Fashion Week runways. Love!
Isn’t it romantic? There is already a romantic vibe just from the color palette alone. Shades of pink and red are dominating the color palette for the fall 2025 season, with multiple shades of mocha. Thankfully, a couple hues from the blue family are thrown in for this blue fan here.
Brown is more than the new black, it is a dominant color family we can wear head to toe. Keep investing in mocha hues!
This color palette is a no brainer. Berry hues and mocha hues for fall. Love this!
Here are a few berry and mocha hues you can invest in, and wear now.

Spring has almost sprung, so it is the perfect time to shop our closets for the spring 2025 season. Love this! Shopping without spending money is the best type of retail therapy!
There are a few steps to shopping your closet each season. First, we look at the trends. Which ones do you like? Which ones do you dislike? Second, dive into your closet and see what you already have. Chances are, you already have what you need for the season, minus a few pieces. Third, make a list of what’s missing and then shop for those items. Usually this will equate to under five items unless you have a lot of events this spring. Of course, when it comes to events, check the hang tag you created and see what you can wear again. Then, you can fill in your wardrobe for those events and the season.
So, what’s in and out this spring 2025? Let’s dive in!
The Anonymous Handbag is still hotter than hot. This investment handbag is serving you well since it is high quality and transcends trends. Look for suede, leather, and neutral hues. Spring 2025 is favoring slouchy bucket bags, belted totes and buckets, boxy bags, doctor bags, and east/west satchels.
Jeans. Every season we stress over which denim silhouettes are in, and which ones are out. This season, you can stick with what you wore last year. Pull out your wide leg jeans, boot cut or flare jeans, and your classic cuts. Despite the rumor online that skinny jeans are making a comeback, I have not see it come to fruition. Keep your favorite skinnies stored in the back of your closet for now.
Color is the best way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Pull out shades of mocha, light pink, and pastel hues. Chocolate brown, burgundy and all shades of green, including dark, are relevant this spring season. Store your neon’s and ultra brights. Their moment is over for now.
Continue to keep your logo-wear stored. You should not display logos this spring 2025 season. Just say no.
When it comes to belts, the Gucci logo comeback was fleeting. This year, wear a logoless belt which is classic and understated.
Saving money is in! Overspending on an item is seen as gauche. The biggest flex is getting a lot of bang for your buck. So, stick to high quality brands and designers who are not price gouging you.
When it comes to shoes, stick with street sneakers in light neutrals, Mary Janes are still good, ballet flats, loafers, and classic high heels will round out the ideal spring shoe capsule while temperatures are still mild.
The overall look you want to pull to the front of your closet includes classic pieces, neutral or pastel hues, simple styles which transcend trends, and non-logo items. You should have a lot in your closet already! Love that!
Well, that’s it! Stay tuned for more spring coverage!
XOXO
