It seems like we skipped spring and went straight to summer! What’s up with the 90-degree weather??? Ugh! Make it stop! I am not mentally prepared for summer yet; I would like to enjoy spring first! With that being said. . .I digress. . .

Let’s chat spring! Temperatures will swing back to a spring-like pattern next week, so let’s dive in!

Woven leather shoes are hot this season, and I love that! Spring floral fragrances are warm with either a sweet or spicy personality. The anonymous handbag is still hotter than hot, and pops of color are intermixing with our neutral wardrobes.

When it comes to nail polish, designers are focusing on one key color this season. Chanel gave us a beautiful blue which sold out right away, so if blue nail polish is your thing, go for one of the other shades. The pale blue above is selling like hotcakes! It’s the perfect spring blue nail color. Love!

Dior gave us a minty hue which I am wearing everyday now. Hermes is giving us a sparkling rusty brown; stay tuned for an upcoming review! Pink is also hot this season and the perfect nail polish for travel since it doesn’t show chips. Love that!

Stay tuned for spring coverage and thanks for stopping by!

Packed for spring break 2026 in Washington DC

packed spring break Washington dc

What’s in my spring break suitcase: blue sweater / black top / striped knit top / classic jeans / denim maxi skirt / gold earrings / pearl earrings / pink nail polish / black barrel jeans /

Packed and flying away! For my oldest daughter’s spring break, we decided to head to Washington DC. She attends university on the east coast and her friends all went home for spring break, so this means mama gets to go on vacation with her daughter! Love!

We are planning to visit the capitol, as many museums as possible, the zoo, the monuments, and more! I tried to get a White House tour but failed. Sad face. Anyhoo. . .

The weather predictions are forecasting mild temperatures and some rain. So, my spring wardrobe should work; plus, I will bring my winter puffy coat just in case. After all, the east coast is unpredictable!

For my nail polish, I am going with this classic pink hue since it will not show chips while I am traveling. I always steer clear of dark nail polish when I travel. If I wear dark nail polish, it always chips on day one of my trip, if I wear a light color, it doesn’t chip. Murphy’s Law.

So, here I go! Stay tuned for my spring break coverage from Washington DC!

One week away from the official start of spring! Yay! I love all this spring weather, the blossoms, it’s practically here!

As we move into the spring season, this navy shirt dress, anything in blue, woven slingbacks, and the anonymous handbag are selling well and hot for spring. Love!

Keep investing in classic items and look for shades of white, blue, green, pink, yellow, and of course, neutrals! The spring season is chic with a cheery vibe. Love that!
