As I have said in earlier posts, Spring is really upon us here in San Francisco, and whenever I start to feel the changing of the seasons I know its time to make my list. My list of buys to add to my wardrobe to bring it into the new season. But, with the economy in its present state of peril this years Spring list is decidedly thinner yet much more worthwhile. Even though I will not be buying as much this season I feel like what I have decided to buy compliments what I have going on in my wardrobe but also still pushes the envelope a little bit.
1. The Classic Bag My number one for this season is the classic bag. I chose to invest in my Chloè Paraty because it has a beautiful classic shape and a neutral color that goes with everything I own, but is special enough as to stand alone with an outfit. A classic bag is always something that I have my eyes set upon when I do purchase a bag. I'm not one to buy something uber trendy that will last for only one season. I also would rather put my money towards a quality handbag that will last forever as opposed to spending on something trendy that is of lesser quality.
2. The Perfect Blazer Always a big part of my wardrobe, The Blazer is an irreplacible staple for me. And, for Spring it's all about the boyfriend blazer. To update my closet I am going to introduce two blazers. One from Isli, a beautiful black slouchy number, that is a bit pricey but worth the investment. The second is the White double breasted Boyfriend Blazer from none other than...... The Gap! It's a piece from the Parick Robinson collection that is totally chic and just what I need for Spring. Plus because it is from Gap it's at a great price point!
3. The Harem Pant Now, I know what you're thinking. Total Trend piece. But, it's one of those envelope pushers, one of those slightly edgy pieces, and I'm totally in love with them. Now I'm not saying to go out and buy say the Diane Von Furstenburg pair, which is actually moderately priced at $98, but what I am saying is this; If you're interested in a trendy piece go for it, head down to your nearest H&M or F21 and find that piece at a great price!! Which is what I did. I got a great pair of Harem pants at H&M and they are actually quite FABULOUS! I love them!!
4. A Pretty Rose Nude Gloss This is totally personal preference, but I love a nice rosie nude lip. You know, that color that just amps up your natural lip color! Plus, I'm more of an eyeliner girl when it comes to makeup, so I like to balance my look with a nude lip. My favorite is the Chanel Glossimer in SunDress. it's slightly rosie with little gold flecks that reflect light. It's Perfection.
5. The Laura Ring from Korcula For some reason I have become obsessed with rings! And, this one is no different. The Laura Ring in Yellow gold is just so fabulous and chic. The latticework is so delicate and doesn't overpower your fingers. Not that big baubles aren't amazing, but this guy is just a little different. I have been admiring it for a while and after seeing it on the lovely La Couturier I am set! I need this ring!!
6. Fabulous Shoes Shoes.... Shoes are definitely one of my favorite things in this beautiful world. And, I'm a high heel girl. I don't really do flats, not that I don't own any because I surely do. But, on a day to day basis I just always seem to reach for a pair of heels. So, I am on the hunt for shoes. I would love a pair of Nicholas Kirkwoods but we'll see how it all plays out in the end.
Each day that it gets warmer and the sun casts its wonderful warmth on us brings a smile to my face and lights up the fact that Spring is upon us! Are you ready for spring?? What's on your Spring list?
