Spring has tried to peek through! We had one, beautiful spring-like day. Of course, now we are back to cold weather, and our sweaters and jackets are out in full force!

Now that we have had one little taste of spring, we are feeling motivated to update our wardrobes! Of course, we still need to dress warmly, so integrating spring nail polish, shoulder bags, hobo bags, eliminating skinny jeans, adding a new delicate necklace (layered delicate necklaces are hot for spring), and reaching for colors from the spring color palette; are all great ways to start integrating spring into our wardrobes while still wearing our sweaters and coats to keep warm. Love that!

How pretty is this little star necklace! Layered necklaces are huge for the spring season, so if you don’t already have a few in your wardrobe, now is the time to start collecting! This cute little star necklace is under $100 and made from sterling silver. It’s perfect for layering now, and well into the spring season; plus, a silver star is classic and can be worn well after the layering trend ends. To be frank, layered necklaces come and go so investing in a few delicate necklaces is a good idea since you can always wear them.

Speaking of layered jewelry, layering bracelets will start to pick up steam again when people move into 3/4 sleeves and short sleeves. I’ll add a few pretty silver bracelets for layering into the shopping widget below. They can be worn with each other or mixed with the beaded bracelets you have already been collecting. Love!

What are you loving right now as we dream of spring weather?

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: black handbag / large hoop earrings (under $100) / Chanel nail polish / Dior spring nail polish / magenta sweater (under $100) / straight leg jeans (under $100) / black shoulder bag / green handbag / caramel hobo bag / ivory moon shaped bag / black lug sole boots /

Magenta is such a perfect color for right now. The cherry blossoms are blooming, the Magnolia trees are starting to bloom, and spring is popping up all around us. This pretty hue plays well with all of the blossoms and signs of spring we have around town. Love!

In addition to magenta, shoulder bags, hobo bags, and straight leg jeans are hot on the streets right now! Look for small and medium sized styles to suit your life style. Love that!

New York Fashion Week starts today! Once again, I am watching from home instead of traveling to New York. I have found I can cover the shows from home and still bring you the hottest trends from the runway without traveling across the country to New York. The only thing I miss is the social aspect of being at New York Fashion Week in person, and all of those fun final walk videos for social media I used to create! Oh well, can’t have everything! I chose staying home over social media videos. haha

That being said, stay tuned for coverage on the blog next week where I will recap the hottest trends from the runways in New York for the fall 2023 season!

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: dress / Chanel nail polish / Dior spring nail polish / magenta sweater (under $100) / large hoop earrings (under $100) / black shoulder bag / black baguette / black lug sole boots (water resistant) / ivory moon shaped bag / caramel hobo bag /

How cute is this dress! I wore it to celebrate my wedding anniversary, and it was so comfortable and fun to wear! It is a perfect dress to wear now with boots, and then in the spring, it can be paired with shorter boots, and in the summer, this dress can be paired with sandals. Love that!

Handbags are all the rage right now. Everyone is investing in shoulder bags and hobo bags. If you are shopping for a new bag too, look for a small or medium handbag with a classic and chic look. The anonymous handbag is what’s hot right now. Steer clear of loud logos.

We still have a few months of weather, so these black boots are perfect for weathering the storms. They will keep you stable on ice, and your feet dry in the rain. Love them!

Looking for a little sunshine on a grey day? This bright and cheery sweater is cozy and under $100. Plus, magenta is the color of 2023. Love!
