The weather is starting to warm up and spring activities are in full swing for my kids. This means I need comfortable and casual clothing for the weekend which is easy to wear at a Little League game, soccer game or by the pool. I get bored always wearing regular jeans so these bright skinnies from the Gap are the perfect way to break the boredom of plain ol’ denim. They are also comfortable and on-trend color-wise. Love that!

I am also a huge fan of the current slip-on sneaker trend. I love how sneakers this season are being made in leather and other unexpected fabrications. It makes a comfortable shoe more interesting and less “frumpy” than just wearing plain ol’ sneakers! This pair from Joie is soft and comfortable; the perfect combination!

How are you staying comfortable and on-trend as spring kicks into gear?

Although we have been enjoying several, back-to-back rain storms over the past two weeks, the temperatures have been in the high 60’s to low 70’s, which means, it is time to wear spring attire! Yes!!! Due to the dreary looking weather, I decided to perk myself up with this fuchsia shirt from Banana Republic’s spring collection. The color is cheerful and perfect for spring! Since crisp shirts are masculine, I felt it was necessary to add a glamorous and feminine touch to the outfit. My Joey J Jewelry earrings were the perfect yin to the shirt’s yang!

I love my Joey J Jewelry earrings. They are so versatile and can easily be worn casually, as in the pictures above, or paired with a cocktail dress for an evening event. To learn more about Joey J Jewelry, please visit JoeyJJewelry.com.

The spring blossoms have arrived, and for the past week, we have been enjoying spring-like temperatures hovering in the high 60’s and reaching into the low 70’s. I was thrilled to find this tree which had the most beautiful blossoms I have seen this season. Unfortunately, I am not sure how long the spring blossoms will fare due to the current rain storm we are experiencing. It is possible the rain and wind could wipe out the spring blossoms. Thankfully I captured a few on camera!

A little over a week ago I introduced to you a fabulous jewelry line named Joey J. I fell in love with their jewelry collection and am thrilled to be wearing a beautiful pair of earrings from the “Glamorous Romance” collection! I paired my new Joey J earrings with an outfit I wore at New York Fashion Week when it was snowing outside and never photographed it. Don’t worry, I wore this outfit with boots, not high heels when I was in the snow!

This sweater from BCBG was perfect in New York, and it is working well here in our moderate, Northern California weather. The sweater can be worn open with a draped appearance, or wrapped around my shoulder’s for coziness. I also love that fact that it is reversible! I have been wearing it with the black side out, but I am sure when the weather warms up, and I would like to lighten up my color palette, I will be wearing the sweater with the ivory side up!

I felt like this was the perfect outfit for my first time out in my new Joey J earrings. The ensemble reminds me of New York Fashion Week, which is glamorous, and the beautiful spring blossoms in the background are romantic! These earrings are the perfect size to be worn during the day, or for evening events. I can definitely see wearing them with a cocktail dress! I am also looking forward to pairing them with casual looks in order to add a little bit of glam to my ensemble.
