Still Sweater Weather

Spring is actually my favorite time to wear sweaters. Of course, they're still a winter staple, but I just think they work way better paired with a lightweight spring jacket than a heavy winter coat that's already bulky enough on it's own …and as a bonus they make it possible to break out that spring jacket  just a few weeks earlier. Because let's face it, once April comes around we'd all rather be cold than having to put on that parka one more time. 

And bonus number two: There are so many new styles!  

Topshop Cricket Sweater / ASOS Crochet Sweater

ASOS Ruffled Sweater / ASOS Denim Sweater 

No matter if you're looking for something classic, something that will actually keep you warm until the temperatures catch up to the calendar, or something that'll keep you cool if spring is already in full force in your part of the world (jealous!) there really is something for everyone (and every temperature).

Ballet Shoes

It's the same thing every year, spring comes around and pastels start popping up everywhere. And as much as I love a blush jacket or a baby pink sweater on the hanger, the moment I put it on I feel like I'm wearing a Halloween costume. It's just too girly, too cutesy …too not me.  But  there are a couple of exceptions:  A pastel scarf is the perfect way to add some lightness to a winter coat, a blush bucket bag is one of the most versatile things you can own, and the one thing you really can't go wrong with are shoes:

KEDS slip ons / NIKE sneakers

ASOS loafers / ASOS suede Shoes

I'm personally partial to the Keds, they are a fun spin on the white sneaker trend, and definitely just as versatile.  And those Nikes are so wonderfully 80s…  

But if sneakers aren't your thing, look for men's wear inspired pieces like a classic pair of loafers or opt for a fresh take of the fringed bootie … and if all fails, there's always the tried-and-true ballet flat.

What's your favorite way to wear pastels?

Spring Playlist

It's been way too long since my last playlist, but this one should make up for it. 

I obviously had to include the new Kills single (I've been playing the video on repeat for days), as well as Jack White's little Muppets stint …and I somehow ended up with a lot 80s and 90s favorites in between. 

Enjoy!

Spring Fever

Even though it finally stopped snowing, the temperatures are still way below what would even be remotely acceptable for Spring...  but I'd rather freeze than put on my down parka one more time.  Especially if there are so many cute Spring jackets out there...

Death by Flowers

Scarves are probably my all time favorite accessory,  you will rarely find me without one.  And last night I found one on Asos that will most likely be my number one this Spring:

It combines my favorite old trend (skulls) with my favorite new trend (blood orange), and will loook utterly fantastic with my green Trench. And the very best? It's only 16 bucks.
