Hands up if you're DONE with Winter! It's about time, amiright?
Boston: Neiman Marcus, AnaMaria Pimental for SPRING!
Is it Spring, yet? Honestly, we're so close, yet so far.
At Neiman Marcus, at least, Spring was in the air, thanks to AnaMaria Pimental who is Neiman Marcus's Fashion Accessories Director. I was invited to photograph her colorful fashion presentation on all the trends coming up this season.
So, what's hot? Blues and oranges! As is, "relaxed chic" all the way down to a studded-toe Miu Miu sneaker! Also, prints are here to stay, which is good because I'm always a fan of a good dose of flowers.
Some of the highlights included this Judith Leiber William Crystal Frog purse, Charlotte Olympia shoes (the likes of which we've already raved about here) especially the Eiffel Tower sandals and the cute cat-face slippers. So, hooray for a range of flats and heels (like these amazing Alexander McQueen studded booties) for Spring.
And I picked up a fun styling tip for carrying a scarf: wrap it around the handle of your bag (as was done over this beautiful Nancy Gonzalez bag) making it look stylish and also easy to carry.
My favorite had to be this Alice + Olivia's embroidered jacket! How stunning, right? Styled with beautiful jewelry designed by Dina Mackney, the jacket looks polished and colorful!
So, come in from the cold and look ahead to a fashionable Spring with AnaMaria's cheery presentation of pretty looks on the always gorgeous Maggie models: Marie, Lauren, Marta and Amber.
Also, Roger Daltrey from The Who barely escaped my lens as he shopped! Thanks to Elizabeth for pointing him out to me, and to Lei Ann for capturing my photographer's stance!
What are you most looking forward to wearing this Spring?
NYFW Candela SS2013 RTW
I'm such a huge fan of Candela...everything is bohemian and playful, demure and sweet.
Don't you want these beautiful head of braids and those SHOES?
It was nice to see Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti and Ken Downing, the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.
Here a look at SPRING, at the Candela RTW SS2013 Presentation...
Husbandswear IV: Colour
It's Spring so I'm checking in to see what my husband's wearing, again. I'm happy to report that it's colour!
Purple, what a royal and distinguished hue, and worn with grey, it's just a classic.

Greece: Athens, The Acropolis, Hat
I thought this little girl was adorably dressed for the BLAZING HEAT! There was literally NO SHADE to hide under over the entire spanse of the Acropolis. I didn't have my trusty straw fedora with me on this trip, like I did in Paris.
In the heat a hat is a smart idea.
Here's more summer hat inspiration on my Pinterest.
Spring Forward in Peplum!
Say it with me, "Spring is NIGH!"
In preparation for some rainy days and the warmer weather, a light spring jacket or coat is in order. I prefer to wear a trench coat, although I will also be wearing my PEPLUM jacket from a few seasons ago! I never thought peplum would do a hippy girl justice, but this Ann Taylor LOFT jacket is subtle in its peplum ways and I'm glad I'll get another season out of it.
These were seen on the streets of NYC in late February! For more outerwear inspiration, check out my Pinterest board.
What's your go-to Spring Outerwear? And are you hopping on the peplum band-wagon?
Zac Posen at Neiman Marcus
It was such an honour for me to cover Zac Posen at Neimans on November 8th, in Boston. He was there to showcase his Spring 2012 collection recently shown at New York Fashion Week.
It's truly a breathtakingly elegant and romantic collection.
Everyone who was there last night was blown away by the glamour of the floor-skimming gowns, the cut, the fit, the detail. Everything was simply fabulous! Not to mention how nice it was to meet and talk to Mr. Posen!
Models: Adriana, Kerrin, Claire, Helen // Makeup: Le Metier // Hair: Mizu

Cat Eye
Cat eye sunglasses are hot for Spring, but I'm really loving cat eye makeup for during the day and into the night. So retro and with a bit of nude lip for day and red lip for night...perfecto!
Is this something you would do, ladies?

Spring Florward!

Now that we've SPRUNG forward one hour it's got me thinking about flowers. What better way to introduce spring into your wardrobe than with florals!
I love the floral clutch and the Erdem dress! What type of floral has caught your eye for Spring?
Yellow!
What is it about that pop of YELLOW that really makes one think of Spring?
My breakdown?
Spring = Easter = Baby chicks = Baby chick yellow
How's that?
Love this "chick's" effortless look.
