Start Spring With A Splash Of Color

Goodbye Winter! Hello Spring! 

I'm definitely ready to get out in my new Spring finery and flaunt a little!  How about you?

The 2008 Spring styles are quite saucy -  bright, bold floral and geometric prints, all kinds of skirt lengths, white denim,  frilly, stunning new platforms and sandals mounted on towering heels. Exotic lingerie, slips of things for the beach, naughty party stuff to cause a few vertebrae snaps.

Just a for instance.  Look at this one from shopbop's spring stuff.  It's a Paris Rose dress from Alice+Olivia (love their stuff).   It's what they call a statement print whatever that is! Print silk-jersey roseprint halter dress with ruching at bodice and empire waist. Straps tie behind neck. Lined at bodice. 57" long, measured from shoulder which is ankle length.   Kinda different right there.  100% silk. Shopbop's item #  ALICE20262  Priced at $367. 

 And then DKNY has this. Pretty pure white cotton-voile dress with crochet trim at top hem and at ruffled bottom hem. On-seam pockets at hip. 1" straps. Lined.41" long, measured from shoulder.100% cotton. Really sweet. shopbop item #DKNYS20037 Price $195

Yes, I am ready.  Doesn't mean I couldn't hop in to a store or two or go online to get some more stuff but I have to tell you the significant other sat me down the other day at breakfast and gave me the latest tighten the belt speech. I played the dutiful wife and nodded and righted him all the way so I'll have to watch the accounts at Nordstrom, Bluefly and shopbop a bit more carefully.  If you find a new source, let me know. Always good to have new cover!

Oh and btw I have a couple of June Weddings to shop for.  Same as you, I wouldn't doubt and then my niece's beach wedding in Aruba in October.

You know I'm already needing another vacation despite our jaunt to Barbados in February. Want to meet me tomorrow at Providence Place for lunch?  We can see what's new at Nordstrom's and catch up.  A couple I saw there online yesterday are these:      

Iisli Sequin Stripe Dress Variegated stripes in monochromatic black, white and grey sportily pattern a straight-cut tank dress detailed with a surprising touch of glittery, hand-sewn sequins at the front hem. Below, sheer chiffon trim peeks out in front and back, softening the overall silhouette. At Nordstrom Item #220592   Price $330  
 
And this one  Milly 'Grecian Braid Print' Dress Hellenic colors create the pattern that boldly defines a fitted linen dress with a flattering Empire waistline and alluringly low V-back  Nordstrom Item # 221636 Price $310.
 
We'll check 'em out!
