Finally!  Hints of Spring!  I don’t even care that we are losing an hour of sleep this weekend (well, maybe a little), I’m just excited for an extra hour of daylight and (slightly) warmer temps to melt this snow.  Time to loosen your grip, Winter; the vernal equinox is near!

Here’s a list of some other fun Spring things I’m looking forward to:

  • Introducing floral patterns back into the rotation (like this lovely Haute Hippie draped front blazer)
  • Coloring Easter eggs and organizing Easter egg hunts with Little B (and stealing the majority of his Easter basket candy…shhh)
  • Celebrating Mr. B’s birthday, my birthday and Little B’s half birthday (the latter will probably have the biggest celebration as Mr. B and I don’t care to grow any older thank you very much) 
  • The return of park trips with Little B
  • Walking EVERYWHERE
  • A girls’ trip to NYC
  • Hiding my puffy coats in the back of my closet
  • Breaking ground
  • Al fresco dining (even if I have to sit directly under a very warm heat lamp)
  • Sunnies every day (I could use a new pair and am loving these Miu Miu’s)
  • Busting out all of the colored jeans I recently bought for Little B in amazing bright shades (like mother, like son…I think)
  • Running outside (definitely motivating for all of the Easter candy I plan to consume)
  • Asparagus everything

What are you looking forward to (and if you have any fun asparagus recipes to share, please do)?

For Fall, I am all about leather, glitter, burgundy and anything coated (as in the sleeves of this relaxed, faded wash denim J Brand jacket). Here are four pieces that I am seriously in love with.  I wore the Mason leather top with silky black harem pants to The Shedd last Friday and plan to wear it with army green denim and even skirts, tights and boots in a few short months.  I also will wear the jacket an insane amount when the weather permits with colored denim (including my snow leopard pants) and over summer dresses as a solid transition piece.  The loafers and denim will remain on the wish list until further notice…but I will continue to lust after them online until then…

What are your favorite pieces for Fall?

Chambray shirt paired with dark denim. Canadian tuxedo or chic way to embrace the trend? I think the studded belt and black/white color splashed heels help(although the Miu Miu studded booties that are currently sitting on my wish list would have been perfect!)
