Spring Trend: More Is More


This season bold colors, and prints that pop are trending.  No one is more colorful than the iconic Iris Apfel, and she actually has coined the phrase, "more is more." Vogue states: "When in doubt, add another bright color or maximalist print to a look—it will be a conversation starter at the season’s parties." I call this fun fashion. Scroll down to see what I found for us.


Tibi Patchwork Sweater
In "Pop Multi" this top is what the season is all about. It's done in 100% cotton, making it a spring and summer staple.

Postcard Skirt & Oversized Shirt
Love this look. Isn't it fun? Both pieces embody the more is more trend with stripes, patterns, ruffles, trim and chains. See the Zimmermann Postcard collection at ...

Balmacaan Hibiscus
No wallflower you! Wear this lightweight topper as an all day statement piece, or layer it for a spring coverup.

Shoshanna Chevron Knit Midi Dress
In a field of minis this season, this midi makes me smile. With a Missoni-ish zig zag, here's a dress that can take anywhere,

The Rosy Dress
They call this print Citrus Kaleidoscope, and it truly is. A bold print done in a soft floaty fabric, makes for a fresh formal look.

Very Versace
No one does a pattern more distinctive than Versace. This season is prettier than ever. See the collection at ...
Saks

Fearless Florals
Find your happy place at Nicole Miller.  The fearless florals are fun together, or can be worn with other pieces in your wardrobe. 

Alice + Olivia Blazer and Pant

Eda Trench and Garcel Knotted Skirt

Foodie Friday: Serve Up A Spring Salad

 


It's finally Spring, even though I have the heat on at the moment. The sign went up for the Farmer's Market down the street yesterday. Fresh spring greens are just around the corner. From watermelon radishes to edible flowers and perfect pea pods, these recipes highlight the season's brightest produce.

Spring Cobb Salad
Let's begin with one of the prettiest salads you ever saw. Those watermelon radishes get me every time. I am hoping that my local farmers market has them. This salad is dressed to the nines with a fresh, light, honey-Dijon vinaigrette.

Spring Greens and Flowers Salad
Oh how beautiful. It's not often you are served a salad with an edible flower in it. The mix of greens is quite unique, and those flowers are available at WS, too.
Recipe:  Williams Sonoma  

Very Berry Dream Salad with Chili Mango and Peanut Vinaigrette
This may become your very favorite dressing. It's a healthy dish with those berries, and practically vegan minus the cheese. 

Chicken Avocado Salad With Radish, Celery, Pistachio and Green Onion
A super healthy salad that is filled with good fat like avocado and olive oil. The dressing is simple
 and citrusy. 

Sesame Roasted Asparagus, Egg and Bacon Salad 
If anything screams Easter it is this recipe! Actually, it is a perfect brunch dish for any special occasion. 

Strawberry Crunch Salad
I just love a salad with that features sweet and salty. The crunch comes from slivered almonds and salted pistachios. It's all dressed in a Champagne Vinaigrette. Not difficult but still impressive!

Scallops with Cucumber Salad & Mascarpone
The crisp cucumber salad is the perfect pairing to the buttery mascarpone and scallops. A company worthy dish for sure.

Grilled Salmon Salad With Spring Greens
Gorgeous, right? More importantly, it is healthy. And if you haven't tried salmon with salad, you are missing out. The honey mustard vinaigrette not only dresses the salad, but flavors the fish, too.

French Potato Salad
"A simple French Potato Salad with fresh herbs – tarragon, parsley and chives, with a flavorful Dijon Vinaigrette. Healthy, vegan and light with no mayo!"  I wonder why our mamas never thought of using colorful potatoes? 

Roasted Radicchio Wedge Salad
Of all of the lettuces, radicchio is my favorite. And it certainly is the most colorful. It's a modern spin on a classic. 

Southwest Chicken Salad
My kind of salad. It will be yours, too, if you like bold flavors. It's a main course type of dish, that's dressed with a creamy avocado dressing.

Tequilaberry Salad 
This recipe had me at "tequila." Sorry to say, however, there isn't a touch of booze in the salad. The back story is that the salad originates from a Minnesota restaurant. The history is fun. And the recipe is filled with texture and flavors.
