Well, we finally got a taste of spring weather. Of course, now we are back to cold temperatures. It was nice while it lasted! I was able to wear a little bit from my spring capsule. Unfortunately, I am back into my winter wardrobe. Fingers crossed spring starts soon! It sure is cold this year!

To combat the cold weather, this fabulous tweed blazer is on trend for spring, and it provides some warmth, especially with a long sleeve tee underneath. I love pairing mine with a small shoulder bag, or this classic satchel.

Spring and summer nail polish colors are hot right now. They help cheer up a grey day. Love that!

This spring sweater is perfect for moderate temperatures, and it looks chic with this ivory bag, hoop earrings, a classic bracelet, summer nail polish, and straight leg jeans. Love!

OK, I cannot wait. I have to start off with the Dior summer nail polish pictured above. Isn’t it a pretty hue? The entire collection for summer is beautiful, and it is en route to me! As soon as I receive it, I will create a review post for you, in the meantime, here are the nail polish colors from Dior for the summer 2023 season!

This week was all about handbags. Shoulder bags, hobo bags, and this on trend top handle bucket were hotter than hot. Straw totes are also starting to gain momentum as we start shopping for trips and the summer season. I feel like if we shop for summer, spring will get a hint and start warming up! Do you think this will work? I am getting tired of all this winter weather. I mean, it is already April! Ugh, but I digress. . .

Investment jewelry is also hot right now, and it should be! After all, this beautiful silver jewelry pictured above offers classic styling which can be worn season after season, and for generations. Here are a few of my favorites to invest in now:

What are you loving this spring season? Are you still waiting for warmer weather where you live? Or are you here in the Bay Area wondering why winter is still a thing?

Can you believe it is the last day of March? This year is flying by! Despite spring being in full swing, the weather is still very wintery out there! This means we can wear a little bit of spring on our nails, carry a spring handbag, and wear new investment piece jewelry such as these beautiful silver bracelets pictured above. Love!

Right now, warm weather clothing is still moving slow, but straight leg jeans are hotter than hot, and spring weight sweaters are the perfect top for straight leg jeans. Also loving classic loafer mules and shoulder bags to complete the look along with investment jewelry and spring nail polish.

The look of the year is understated and anonymous. You can wear fun, bright colors, but stay away from logos and large branding on both clothing and accessories. A small logo is OK, but don’t have the designer’s name plastered across your chest or stamped all over your handbag. That’s so last year.

Heads up! There is a new weekly series on the blog. If you, or someone you know, has a teenager looking to apply to college, or is already in college, let them know! I will be posting once a week about the college application process and parenting a child away at school. Let me know if there are any specific topics you would like covered, and also if you have questions. Check out my first post here.

Don’t worry, my regular content will still have the same frequency as before this new series was added. Love that!

Lastly, how cute is the little bio tote pictured above? This is a new bag for spring from Tory Burch and it is made from eco-friendly materials, not leather. I love how eco-chic it is, and also the simple design. Stay tuned! There will be a review on the blog of this cute little tote in April!
