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?

Three's Company

So, we've been watching a lot of Three's Company episodes that we taped on our PVR while we had the Deja View channel.  As I'd never ever seen the show before, I've really been enjoying the comedy but also the 70s style outfits! Especially now as the 70s trend is upon us  for Spring.

I've been inspired to put together outfits based on Three's Company over on Polyvore (best website for putting together style sets, have you guys tried it out? It's amazing!)

So here's a set I created, inspired by an episode where Chrissy's dating a man who "may" be married.  I added the trench and the watch :)  Of course the shoes don't really make sense for a rainy day, but I loved them! (Click on the image to see the set with with the brand names and prices).

Trench coats

I've been thinking a lot about SPRING! Could it be because it's -25 today, and has been for the last 2 weeks?! Aye...perhaps.

I love my London Fog classic khaki trench, but am thinking of getting a new one - either navy, like this one



or perhaps a colourful or printed one?



Isn't this one so cool?  (They're both Burberry and around the $1000 mark. Ouch)

How cute is this outfit (Bisous Bow Trench $645 via Kate Spade)



Mini polka dotted trench ($188 via White House|Black Market)


How pretty is this floral Stella McCartney Botanical-print one ($2045 via Bergdorf Goodman)?



How about you?  What are you thinking of wearing as soon as the snow melts?
