Bold, Bright & Beautiful For Spring

As I create this blog post, all I can see outside is white. Yes, I am in the middle of the Northeast blizzard, but safe and sound. Like every season, there are certain colors that trend. The primary and bright colors were what caught my eye the most. It's an optimistic take on life. Don't we all need that?

Sculpural Swing Coat

One of my favorite finds. It's made with textured Italian cotton, and looks so well done. There is  a dress and pants to match.

Me + Em

Knotted  Gala Mule

Crafted with a kitten heel, these sweet shoes  are made for summer walks.
Simon Miller

Belem Poplin Midi Dress

Oh how I love this look. What a chic cotton dress! 

Simon Miller

Dupioni Silk Mini

Lengths are both short and long this season. If you love a mini this is one chic and shiny sheath.

Tuckernuck

Balmain Jersey Leggings & Top
I feel like the 90's are calling. What a fun look for the right woman.

Shopbop

Longline Linen Shirt

A sensational shirt! Love that it has no collar. For those of you who enjoy a longer line, this is for you. Also available in black and gold.

Boden

Dries Van Noten Coat & Dress
Now this is new!  A bright look on Spring in Duchesse satin. Available for Pre-Order

Moda Operandi

Rachel Gilbert Dion Cape Gown

If you have a spring event coming up, this gown is gorgeous! It's polyester, but who cares when it looks this good? Also in red and white.

Bloomingdale's

La Veste Pippi Pants

Chic cotton capri's in  11 colorways. I think they are lots of fun.

Moda Operandi

Maeve X Bibi Lou Mesh Loafers

Comfy and casual chic. 

Anthropologie

Straight Crop Cardigan

Crafted with organic cotton. It's a stylish sweater to wear now with black leather pants. In Spring you will reach for it to pair with white pants and skirts.

Going Out Tops

Sundays at Shop This

  

 Saturdays at Shop This turned into Sunday. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But I did want to share some of my favorite links, sales, and articles of the week.  Have a restful Sunday, my friends!

 

Heading to NYC soon? You will want to read this editorial at Bergdorf.  Find out where the best martini is, where to have dinner Friday night, the hotel you might want to live in, what to wear, and more.

 

 

Not your garden variety white shirt. If you love a little drama, and anything assymetrical, this Natori is a good option for day or night. The belt is great, too. 

French Girl Chic! Goop has pulled together a noncomprehensive list of Frenchg Girl Staples (and how to style them.

Anthropologie is offering up to 30% off new spring things this weekend. This darling jumpsuit is part of the sale. My younger self would not be able to resist it. Here's the jumpsuit.
 

I have always loved a well wrapped gift. I received the "With Love"  gift tags as a gift from the Dear Annabelle Team. ( thank you so much) They are so lovely - heavyweight white card stock with a fab font and beautiful black ribbon. They will elevaate any wrapped gift. Speaking of, their wrapping paper is super fun!

One of my favorite all time bags. It's designed by Cult Gaia. They are having a weekend sale. Almost everything is 22% off this weekend only. Use Code: 222. Tap on photo to go straight to the bag.

What are your walls saying about you? I just love the contemporary art at Oliver Gal. This piece is called Midnight Dutchess with Feathers, and I mean real feathers! Contemporary chic.

Last week I went into my first Mango free standing store. I often post from there when I am looking for a budget friendly item. Their selection was impressive for the price points, both in quality and style. The above long silk shirt isn't inexpensive 

( $350), but it sure makes a statement.

I simply can't wait to dine outside again. I love the selection at Pret a Party NY's  Their disposable dishes are so elegant!

~ And More ~

I have just tried Philosophy's Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, in Coconut Rush. I really like the  refreshing scent. I wouldn't trade in my Chanel for it, but it's great to wear at home and to bed. QVC has a great deal on it.

Don't forget about Serena & Lily's Spring Savings Event.  Revisit last weeks post.

Occasion Appropriate Dark Dresses

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

This post is personal. Unfortunately I have a memorial service and dinner in NYC this Saturday. As you know, death is never timely. This one found me, a personal shopper, without anything I want to wear. It's tricky. I want to be respectful by dressing up. But one also must pay attention to style ~ nothing sexy, or too fun. So I am going for simple sophistication. If you find yourself in the same situation, here are 8 looks to consider.

Black Tie Bow Maxi

Though I like all of these pretty picks, this is my favorite. It's all cotton and super chic. $248

Tuckernuck

A beautifully made designer dress that's been majorly marked fown from $2190 to $657.
