February and March are always confusing months for a wardrobe. One day it will be eighty degrees and perfect weather, the next next day it can drop down to sixty degrees and start to rain. Of course, since we have a drought in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are seeing more of those eighty degree, pool days rather than the cooler, rainy days. Oh how we wish for rain! But I digress. . .

Since the weather is transitioning from winter into spring, our wardrobe needs to be able to transition too. This is why I love skirts in thick fabrics which can easily be worn with tights on cool days, and bare legs on warmer days. This Milly skirt fits the transitional bill. It has a black band at the top, covered by my shirt-sorry about that, which allows it to be worn with black tights, and a black wool coat for cool days. On warmer days, the bright colors and the festive pattern work well for a spring look. Love that!

I wore this skirt at fashion week in early February when temperatures dropped below ten degrees. I have never been so cold in my life! Thankfully, this skirt is easy to layer and added a little bright color to the dreary days in New York. My friend Jenna snapped a few pictures of me inside the tents between shows because it was way too cold to take pictures outside. Plus, I wanted to have one last photo opp with the Mercedes Benz display. This was the last fashion week in New York they would be sponsoring so I needed a little souvenir. 😉

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, and it is officially spring, I look forward to wearing this skirt with less layers; and eventually short sleeves as we head towards summer!

Skirts are my favorite transitional pieces from winter into spring, what is your favorite way to transition between seasons?

Spring 2015 is here! This means it is time to ensure your beach bag, and your pool tote, are well-stocked with a fabulous swimsuit! Swimwear for spring 2015 is absolutely amazing! There are fringe options, cut-outs, and more! Spring 2015 swimwear is filled with anything but plain swimwear; so store that classic triangle bikini and tank one piece, spring 2015 is all about fringe, cut-outs, prints, and more!

The boho-chic trend, or 1970’s trend, has inspired designers to create swimwear which pushes the envelope of what we think a swimsuit should look like. Any type of embellishment we can think of makes for an ideal swimsuit this spring 2015 season. When shopping for swimwear, consider the current color palette for spring 2015 in shades of blue, pink, varying neutrals, and black. Also be sure to consider the embellishments. Swimwear this season F-U-N!

I found a few fabulous bikini’s and one-piece bathing suits around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish review

Gucci Metallic Sand is a beautiful, rose gold nail polish hue from Gucci’s beauty collection. Metallic Sand by Gucci offers a neutral nail polish look with a twist. The color acts like a neutral beige or nude nail polish, but offers much more interest than a neutral beige or nude through its’ metallic nature. Love that!

Metallic Sand nail polish by Gucci offers a golden shimmer with rose undertones which gives it an overall warm tone. It plays well with both gold-tone and silver-tone jewelry. Of course, it looks amazing with rose-tone metals! This makes it an easy nail polish color to wear everyday. I can definitely see wearing this nail polish more as move into the summer months. It is light and clean, yet offers more of a unique color than a plain neutral. Lovin’ it!

Since the summer 2015 color palette offers a combination of mixed neutrals, bold pastels, and bright hues, Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish is an easy color to wear since it will blend well with all three color palettes. This is fabulous because we will not need to worry about our nails clashing with our clothing. 

I tested out Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish lasted seven days before chipping! Perfection 😉 This is something I love about Gucci’s new nail polish collection. The nail polish is long lasting and offers a unique mix of colors which are fresh and new. What more could anyone ask of their nail polish?

Gucci Metallic Sand nail polish can be found online here and here.
