Spring Inspirations

During my extermely brief lunch breat today (we're still in the middle of the 10-K process), I perused the Nordies site looking for inspiration for my dull closet. I saw the most fab Juicy (go figure) jewelry. It almost reminds me of stuff that my great aunt had (she had amazing style). Some of my favorites are below:

Weather Tease

If everyone can't tell, I already have spring fever and it is only mid-February. In CT, we still have a good 8 weeks of winter ahead of us. But I can still imagine I am in warmer weather.

We had such a lovely weekend. It is has given me inspiration to start thinking all things warm and sunny inspiring.


I spotted this super cheery pattern on the Vera Bradley website. It would go lovely somewhere in my navy bedroom. Perhaps a lampshade? The funniest part, the name of the pattern is cupcakes green. Go figure!



I heart these earrings from Honeybee Collection. They would look great with navy (my favorite neutral to wear) pants and a crisp white blouse.


And my absolute favorite spring accessory - the fun rain boot. How cute are these with the little whales? Source: Piperlime. Note: I do not need anymore rainboots, my puccis and coach ones are doing me just fine.

In Honor of Yesterday's News . . .

Inspired by the fact that there was the announcement for the SATC movie sequal to be made, last night I decided to do some digging around the HBO website for my old inspirations from the tv show. Believe me, there were quite a few . . .

I still dream about wearing the above dress to an event someday. I remember, a couple years back, RL had a similar dress out. I would go visit it at L&T in my spare time and wish I had a winter event to go where I could wear it. Also, the pearls - classic!


There are three inspirations for me here. 1) The flower pin - who has not rocked that in the past? I sometimes wish that was still a little in style. 2) The Dior handbag, which I now own one of. 3) THE HAIR!!! I have tried and tried to get those curls on my mop of a head but my crazy pipe curls just don't want to do that. I think Martin, my stylist, is a little sick of me talking about it.


The above sunglasses were easily found. I own a pair of D&G's very similar that make me feel like a rock star. I LOVE them.

And last, but not least, are the layered pearls. I have TONS of faux pearls that I play with for the above look. I however do not have the rock o' a ring to go with them. I adore layered pearls.



Something similar to Carrie's new room above my bed would be fun. Maybe with different fabrics with the same color scheme would be interesting. My bedroom is lacking in the decorating department aside from the chandie.



What girl wouldn't kill for this closet (nevermind the clothes and shoes held within).


Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

big news - BIG BIG NEWS!!!

I am happy to report, as everyone has probably already heard, but there is going to be a SATC sequel. As many know, I am such a fan. SJP is my hair role model. Look at her hair in this picture. I would DIE for it!
BRING ON THE MANOLOS!!!

CT = Snow all winter

It is snowing, yet again. I don't mind it every once in a while, but once a week is getting to be a little much. Where is spring and how dare that groundhog see his shadow yesterday? Anyway, I am a firm believer in escapism so I am dreaming of being here . . .


. . . wearing this adorable Lily dress with my favorite Jack Rogers sandals:




Maybe if I close my eyes and listen to Jimmy Buffett while chewing some mint mojito orbitz, I can be there instead of at my desk, in the cold, with it snowing outside.
Stay warm and dry everyone!
