Sucker for Seersucker

I may be a little obsessed with seersucker.  That slightly puckered and flat stripe makes my heart sing!  In fact, I have (probably from 2004 or 2005?) a seersucker skirt suit from Isaac Mizrahi for Target that I STILL love (and fit in, thank God).  Now the season is upon us for men to whip out their seersucker pants, shorts and suits (I bet even Duchess Kate has one for little Prince George), we ladies can join the party with so many varied pieces in this fabulous fabric.  Which one is your favorite??

Adore the faux two piece dress.

Tassel Me Happy

It's been a slow spring start in Boston, but Marathon Monday really kicked good weather in gear for us! While the mornings are still cool, the days are finally warming up and my toes (and white pale legs!) can begin to remember what it's like to see daylight again.  I did a huge purge of summer shoes over the winter...these are ripped, those are uncomfortable, these give me blisters...you get the idea.  And for a woman in her late 30s, I own way too many flip flops.  Seriously, I can't wear those to work!  So, I've been on a bit of a shoe shopping extravaganza.  (Did I mention I don't really love shoe shopping- I have a wide foot and my size can vary a great deal.) 

Here's my latest obsession: tassels on my shoes!  Fun fringe that makes it feel playful and yet at the same time classic.  Really excited about wearing a few of these beauties this season.

I've been on a JCrew kick lately.

Scallops for Spring

This New England weather really has spoiled us...is spring actually coming soon?  (crossing all fingers and toes!)  It's been a fabulous weekend filled with sunshine and cool breeze, and I've been inspired by the scallop trend- feels like I've seen it everywhere!  Such a cute detail to many spring pieces that make them feel fresh and yet classic.  Some of these beauties will make their way into my closet soon :)

Woven to Wow

I'm a sucker for woven fabrics, and it's somewhat timely because I associate that pattern with the Easter season (perhaps odd?).  I remember woven plastic or wicker baskets holding all of our special treats from the Easter bunny.  I was such a fan of the egg hunt, too (my poor dad had to hide and rehide those things for me!).  So, my nostalgia has led me to favor the woven trend that seems to be everywhere!

These sandals.  Yes.

Trendy Trench

I just purchased my first trench coat this winter.  I really love it (especially the detachable quilted liner), and it makes me feel pulled together even with jeans and a sweater on.  Then I started to notice the sleeveless trench coat/vest make its way into stores.  I doubted the practicality of something like this, especially in New England, but I have to say I've come around!  It's a really cool, chic layering piece that feels laid back, but also has that classic appeal.  What do you think?

This color is a no brainer, and I like the 4 pockets.
