I had my eyes on this pink coat since it first came out last fall. At the time, it was hard for me to justify purchasing a bright pink coat at full price; especially since we only have about two months of cold weather during the winter season here in the San Francisco Bay Area. When the coat went on sale, I was thrilled! Although there are only a handful of cold days left until spring is in full swing, I know I can wear this coat in New York next month and also next winter. So I will still get plenty of wear out of it! It is soft, comfortable and just plain amazing! Yes, I am in love with a coat. <<sighs>>

Are there any pieces you have been eyeing since fall and were able to snap up on sale this month? If so, do tell!!

Taste of spring 2015

After a couple of months of really cold weather, and much-needed rain, the weather has taken a turn! All of a sudden, during the daylight hours, it feels like spring! I have to admit, this spring-like weather pattern is bittersweet. It feels nice to have warm weather in the 60’s and low 70’s after being cold for a few weeks, but at the same time, we need rain! Our drought here in California is not over, so, hopefully this warm-up is temporary and we go back to winter! Rain please!

‘The upside to warm weather is getting to wear this super cute, casual tee I recently bought at the Gap! I hope to wear it with jeans and shorts this spring and summer. I love the boxy silhouette. I feel like it makes the tee a little less ordinary; yet still casual for everyday wear.

Have you started shopping for spring yet? What have you picked up?

Over the past month it has been  really cold! That is why this is the perfect time of year to plan a resort or cruise getaway. Since it is not quite spring, and summer was several months ago, packing for a resort getaway could be a problem! Thankfully the resort 2015 season is in full swing and Zinke has a fabulous collection of swimwear and cover-ups to make that warm weather getaway a fun and fabulous trip out of the cold and into the warm!

I absolutely adore this swimsuit cover-up by Zinke. I picked it out back in September when I was at fashion week in New York and got a sneak peek at Zinke’s resort 2015 collection. The cut-out is cute and offers a peek at a one-piece swimsuit. It is also on trend; making this cover-up ideal for walking from the beach or pool into a shop or restaurant without feeling half-dressed. Love that!

These pictures were taken when the wind was out of control! My hat kept blowing off and the skirt on my Zinke cover-up was blowing all over the place. I was afraid the cover-up would blow-up from the wind but it was great at only ballooning and not revealing what was underneath. In short, it kept me modest and covered-up! I am looking forward to wearing my Zinke cover-up at summer pool parties and future pool/beach vacations.
