Spring is starting to peek through! Here in the Bay Area, it feels like winter in the morning, and then temperatures rise to high 60’s and low 70’s during the day. This means we get to wear our winter into spring outfits. A spring dress can be layered with a jacket, and a spring handbag can be paired with any outfit. Of course, spring nail polish can brighten up a winter day, and add a little bit of sunshine when the clouds come in.

These spring nail polish colors, and this spring top coat, are perfect to wear right now; and they happen to be hot on the streets! Hobo handbags are a hot silhouette right now, as well as small top handle bags. You can start wearing these spring handbag styles now! Love that!

Of course, since it isn’t technically spring yet, and the evenings are quite cool, a good lug sole shoe is in order to keep from slipping on icy sidewalks. Love this pair of lug sole loafers. They are both practical and on trend. After all, the 90’s are still a hot decade of influence as we move through 2022.

There are so many pretty nail polish colors for the spring 2022 season! The nail polish trends for spring include traditional spring pastels, shades of classic rose, and neutral putty; if rose and pastel hues are not your thing.

I am having a hard time choosing which nail polish trend I love best. My favorite color for spring is definitely Chanel Riviera, which is an edgy, pastel yellow. Of course, I also love all of the rose shades, which are perfect for a more classic look. Dior Balade and Chanel Terra Rosa are very similar, dark rose hues, and I love them both. It is hard to say which one I love more! What do you think?

If you work in a conservative environment, one of the putty hues, a pastel pink, or a shade of rose will work perfectly for you. Hey, this season there is a lot to choose from if your work environment restricts your nail color! That is good luck! Love that!

Blue spring maxi dress in 2022

Oooh I cannot wait for spring! I am so tired of cold weather, so any glimpse of the sun, and I am grabbing spring clothing, and trying to gut out the cold! haha This was a bit too cold the other day, so I didn’t last long. I will say, you can throw a denim jacket over this dress, and pair it with funky sneakers or ankle boots, and it will work in 60-degree weather. I tried to wear my comfy slides, that was a mistake. Of course, these slides will be amazing in six weeks when the weather warms up!

Isn’t this bright blue dress fun? Bright hues are hot for spring and summer 2022, and this dress is the right shade of blue to take me through both seasons. I also love the fact that it is under $100. Isn’t that amazing?! While it can be worn with wedges espadrilles or slides for warm weather days, it can be paired with sneakers or boots, as well as a denim jacket, so cooler days. This is a great casual dress! I cannot wait to wear it more.

Are you looking forward to the brighter color palette this upcoming spring season? I know I am! Bright hues are cheery and uplifting. I love colors which elevate my mood. This bright blue does just that! Which colors uplift you?

Remember woven slides from last year? They are hot again this year. If you have flat, or high heel woven slides, pull them out of the back of your closet and get ready to rock them again this year. The look is hot! Love that!
