{Spring Fever}

Now I definitely can't complain because we have had such a mild winter thus far -  but in my personal opinion, when Christmas is over, I am ready for Spring! I'm looking forward to be able to wear white bottoms again, and for a little change lots, and lots of color. While shopping last weekend, the stores are definitely getting rid of all the winter items in an effort to make room for the new spring collections. Here are a few things that I'm looking forward to adding to my spring wardrobe this year:

My essentials for spring: Essie nail polish | Chambray shirt | White Pencil Skirt | Leopard Sandals | Asos Pink Belt | Neon Kate Spade Clutch

{Nautical Stripes - Spring 2010 Trend}

There's a huge nautical influence coming up for Spring - although stripes always seem to show up in spring styles. However, this year the focus is on the French sailor stripe first popularized by Coco Channel in the 1930s. Stripes are definitely a throwback to the past, but fashion designers at this weeks' New York Fashion Week have made them glamorous, sexy and classic at the same time. Check out Karen Walker's runway nautical fab-ulous-ness....

I have to admit that I've never been a big fan of stripes...but after doing some research and seeing Karen Walker's spring line, I'm inspired and will be adding a few pieces to my spring wardrobe. What about you?
