Spring has sprung! I love the moderate weather we have been having. It is always nice to enjoy warm weather which hovers in the high 60’s and 70’s. I also love all the blossoms and greenery this time of year. Spring is my favorite season! Since spring is in full swing, it is high time to ensure our wardrobes are prepared for this perfect weather.

The easiest way to update ones’ spring wardrobe is through accessories. I love the spring 2015 collection at the Donald J Pliner shop at Satana Row in San Jose. Donald J Pliner has a wide selection of on-trend shoes and handbags which are perfect for the spring 2015 season. Love that!

The store is full of cool cork, street-smart slip-on sneakers, casual sandals, fabulous wedges (like mine!), and eye catching high heels. It is a one-stop-shop for spring! Perfection 😉

This pair of metallic wedges from Donald J Pliner are my go-to casual shoes for spring. They have an of-the-moment white sole, cool cork wedge, and soft metallic leather. The interior is smooth, soft, and comfortable! I can walk, and stand for hours in these wedges; I can even chase my kids if they run off! A must-have feature for us Moms; fashionable shoes which can double as running shoes! Ha!

These wedges by Donald J Pliner look fabulous with this season’s flare jeans, midi skirts, maxi skirts, mini skirts, shorts, dresses; the list goes on! They look great with everything, let’s just put it that way. 😉

To see these wedges, and the entire spring 2015 collection by Donald J Pliner, please stop into the Donald J Pliner store at Santana Row or visit Donald J Pliner online at donaldjpliner.com.

Last spring and summer, slip on sneakers were all the rage. For spring 2015, both slip on sneakers and tie sneakers are all the rage. Three cheers for comfortable casual fashion! 

Not only have designers and brands created beautiful, fashion-forward slip on sneakers and tie sneakers for spring and summer 2015, these style have been spotted on fashionable feet on the street, and in the tents, at New York Fashion Week! Love that!

Sneakers for spring and summer 2015 are being shown in a variety of prints, colors, and textures. Florals are a huge trend in sneakers for spring 2015. Kate Spade famously showed her floral sneakers at fashion week for spring and summer 2015; and she isn’t the only designer seeing flowers for the warm weather season. In addition to florals, designers are showing snake print, animal print, and tie-dye prints on their spring 2015 sneakers. 

As shoe styles trend toward more flat styles, and the fashion crowd tires of mega high heels, sneakers are the perfect, comfortable alternative to the current flats, and flat sandal trend. Sneakers are easy to wear, stay put on your feet, and tell the world you are uber cool. Love that!

Sneakers in both slip on and tie form are being shown with a variety of apparel styles for spring 2015. You can wear them with sundresses, casual dresses, midi skirts, mini skirts, and even maxi skirts! Of course sneakers always look amazing with jeans, shorts, and anything traditionally deemed “weekend casual.” Did I state the obvious?

If you have a pair of slip on sneakers from last spring, and they haven’t been worn out, then you are all set for the spring 2015 sneaker season! If you would like to update your wardrobe, look for a pair of tie sneakers since they are the newest sneaker on the street. Well, not really “new,” but new to fashion as a hot trend of the season; because yes, we all own sneakers, but not sneakers like the ones being shown this season!

I found a few fabulous slip on sneakers, and tie sneakers around the web, and I assembled them into the shopping widgets below. I hope you love them! I have my eyes on the floral pair featured above. I feel like I need them in my life. Which pair do you like? Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015 review

tom ford black jade nail polish review spring 2015

Pictured: Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish for spring 2015. Picture taken during golden hour. Shown with one base coat, three coats of color, no top coat.

Nail polish for spring 2015 has a dark side; and it is Tom Ford’s Black Jade nail polish hue. This deep, dark, sparkling forest green will trick you into thinking it is a fall color. Yet, when set against spring colors for 2015, Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish compliments the spring 2015 color palette by adding an unexpected feeling to any ensemble. Love that!

This was my first Tom Ford nail polish purchase. I have one lipstick by him, which I love, so I decided I should test out Tom Ford’s nail polish. I love it! The application brush was easy to use and the nail polish went on smooth. The dark nature of Black Jade soon made me realize the nail polish needed three coats for full coverage. With three coats, Tom Ford Black Jade offers streak-free coverage and a slight sparkle underneath the deep, dark color of the polish. It is definitely fabulous.

I tested out Tom Ford Black Jade nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. I did receive one chip within twenty four hours, but the chip was small; although surprising. I continued to wear the nail polish and it did not receive any additional chips for seven days. I had to take it off when my nail growth was starting to show on my nail beds.

Tom Ford has a large selection of colors, and for spring 2015, he also has a beautiful blue hue named Indigo Night. I am looking forward to trying out more Tom Ford nail polish colors in the future. For spring 2015, I am thrilled with Black Jade!
