{Pink and Leopard}

I am back! I feel like I haven't posted in ages, but it has really only been about a week. I was basically a giant ball of stress studying for finals and finishing the quarter. Thank goodness for summer vacation. Personally, I find that the best kind of therapy is that of the retail kind. Which is exactly what I did this weekend at a lovely store called J Crew. I might have gone a little over board, but I mean, mostly everything was on sale, so I figure its justifiable. I might own one too many leopard print pieces now, but then again, can you really own too much animal print? I didn't think so.

Lets just talk about how much I am in love with this J Crew button down. Again, it's pink, and we know how my love for pink has grown so much recently. Anyways, this outfit was perfect for the weather conditions, it was sunny and warm, but too windy for a skirt. White pants and this pastel pink button down did just the trick. I felt a little too light on the color palette, so I added the green vest. throw on a clutch and some flats, and bing bang boom, there you have it. A perfect spring outfit!

{Currently Craving} 5 Trends To Love This Season

Neon makes me so excited. I love neon in the spring and summer months when the sun is out. It is so bright, and bold and adds so much excitement to any outfit. Plus, in these months where we are all getting tan, neon looks even better on!

Polkadots are a classic look that I don't think ever really goes out of style. The look of polkadots is just darling to me. It really classes up any outfit and adds instant youth and fun to any garment. I don't know if I will ever not love polkadots.

Mint is technically under the realm of pastel, but I think it deserves its own category. I am so in love with this color lately, Essie makes the perfect nail polish color, as does J Brand and J Crew for some fun colored denim. Although I didn't incude of a whole section on peplum, I am always looking for a good peplum skirt or top. So, this mint skirt with peplum detailing is gorgeous.

When I think fringe, I think Indian princess, bohemian, feathers, and turquoise. All of which I love, so I can't really find anything wrong witht his trend. I love these turquoise sandals with the extra fringe. The color is stunning and the fringe gives them a total boho chic feel.

Pastels are hot, hot, HOT this year. Everywhere I go I see pastel pants. I am definitely on this trends bandwagon. I just recently purchased a few pairs of pastel pants and am so in love. I wasn't as much into colored pants before the pastel trend hit, but pastel is so easy to wear and now I am obsessed.

Pastel Me Crazy

Here are the second pair of pastel pants I got this past weekend. The third pair was not available in my size in store, so I had to order them. I went with all pastel in this outfit. The yellow combined with the pale pink, peplum top make for a perfect match. I have to admit, my addiction to these pants is becoming out of control, I have a feeling they will be making many appearances throughout the spring and summer.

{Currently Craving: Colorful Pants}

Colorful pants have been around for a little while now, and I am officially jumping on the bandwagon. After seeing some seriously amazing outfits I have decided that it is time to invest in a pair (or five...there are just too many colors to pick one). Here are some pictures of my inspiration for colors, styles and ways to wear them. I am craving these more than I crave coffee in the morning, and thats saying a lot considering I am from Seattle, the city of coffee lovers. I think I want a pair or pink and/or peach, and maybe some violet?
