What i've got my eye on...

JCrew's new spring collection is guilty (again) of making me go into the store (so conveniently located on my way home) to drool in person! These are the pieces I have my eye on...
Nolita White Denim Jacket- i am notorious for wearing jean jackets over dresses, to dress down slacks, with skirts or pretty much any time I can put one on :)

Papillon Water Floral Pastiche Blouse- this is so feminine and flowy.

Vintage Lattice Work Popover- my favorite color combination of mustard and gray!

Beach Cardigan- perfect for those windy up north (Michigan) afternoons!

Back in the Spring Groove

Well- we're back! We had winter weather in Utah which is ok with me since we were skiing. They got dumped on so the first day we arrived, so there was powder and sun the rest of the time! Now it's time to get a bunch of stuff done so we can go back to Michigan to meet our new niece- Jessica Joann! Born Friday, March 25th 8:09pm. In the meantime- spring is back in Chicago and I'm looking forward to some warm running days and flip flops! Speaking of spring- the new JCrew spring collection has arrived...

Close to Spring

It's getting close to Spring and Anthropologie is reflecting the season with their new window displays! I saw for myself last Sunday and was amazed at (again) how cool it looked. Bike tires w/ the gears left on were hung from the ceiling with BUNCHES of flowers intertwined through the spokes. Little did I know that those flowers were actually painted plastic bottles! Check it out...

It's amazing what you can do to a useless object to make it look pretty!

Looking forward to spring

I got Boden's spring catalog in the mail last night and was so impressed!
Here are some highlights...
The detail in this jacket make it look so clean and preppy...

This fabric looks so soft and cozy but also has a flattering
plunge neckline and gathers in the middle!Covering all the details...
I love when little details "sneak" up on you like
the stripes in the hood of this hoodyI must have their must have their "Must have shopper"

spring cravings

Is anyone else craving spring? Looks like anthropology is already there with these fun bright dresses! I'm loving the super cute and tailored look of them. If only the midwest was about 30 degrees warmer.
