After a long hiatus I am back..I must say blogging is not as easy as it seems. Yea sure you think all it is, is someone sharing their thoughts and that's it but what about when you have 2 kids and your hubby always works? ( me) it aint so easy. The holidays drained me physically, emotionally, and FINANCIALLY!! But now as we move to the end of january I am getting some spring back in my step thanks to the milder weather that we've had the past week or so. Never mind the endless spring collections and february mags showcasing all of the must haves for spring. Bazaar"s Feb. 2010 edition was my fave. See while many are still out buying winter things..the fashion world is actually getting ready for fall 2010. Yes that's right but we are not all living in Bryant Park so don't worry, there is still hope!! lol By february I am soo sick of the blah colors so there is no better time than now to add some pop to your wardrobe. FYI turquoise is going to be huge for spring. On nails..eyes, shoes you name it, designers have taken a liking to this shade for the spring 2010 season. I myself pick up a really cute pair of Joan & David turquoise pumps that I just love. If turquoise isn't fave of yours rest easy, there is a spring trend for everyone. Blushes and natural colors are in full swing. I LOVE anything blush colored. If any of you follow rachel Zoe of which I am a huge fan, you must pick up or thumb through her new book of 20 NOT so basic basics. She lists a pair of Nude pumps as being equally important to your classic black pump. I am in total agreement here. Nude pumps elongate the leg and add such a classy feel to any outfit. while she lists a pair by LAMB I myself saw a stunning pair at Aldo believe it or not. There certainly is a way to achieve an on trend look without spending mega bucks. Aldo usually follows all the key trends in shoes so def check them out. After a long season of being bundled up and being stiff it will soon be time to loosen up. Florals and feminine details are what make Spring... well spring! Sequins are still huge so don't go packing them away!! That's just a little taste of what's ahead for spring 2010 fashion. Over the next few weeks I will try and update you on some of my fave pieces that I have purchased or will purchase and keep you posted on my latest nail obsessions! I'm still feeling the grays and am currently wearing Chinchilla by Essie. It's just a pure cream gray and it's lovely. Particuliere by Chanel is also in heavy rotation. It's a taupey grey lighter than You Don't Know Jacques by OPI, and well it's Chanel and Chanel is my major obsession! OMG how could I forget...SUNNIES!! The cat's eye frame is a spring must have. There are so many variations on the cat's eye, from full on to subtle to metal rimmed. Def find a pair that's right for you. I myself purchased the Chanel style 5169 in Blue. They are an oversized Cat's eye frame that has such a vintage feel and I'm totally diggin it! And while the cat's eye is making a huge comeback this season , it is a classic shape so don;t be afraid to invest if you find a pair you love! That's all for now..gotta put my kiddies to bed :)
