Happy Monday! The weekend was so beautiful and despite the 'it still feels like winter'  chill, there was an undeniable sense of spring awakening in the air.  Yay! I'm so excited!! Another sure sign that gentle days are coming is spotting the trench on the street and around town.  There are always so many amazing versions of this classic piece, each more inspiring than the other.  I have to admit, I find myself  coveting a few favorites.  First and foremost, there's this gorgeous shade of pink mocha.  Those who know me well know that I'm a pink girl at heart and this one is no exception.  I guess I'm not the only one as that version has currently sold out.  This one is strikingly similar though {and it's on SALE!}.  This Topshop take is also pretty and carries a true 'rainy day in London' feel.  Another must-have color I crave each spring is undeniably navy blue.  From blazers to handbags, this deep dyed hue is so crave worthy but equally hard to find.  I spied this pretty one recently over at Anthropologie and instantly fell in love.   Of course, no ode to the trench could ever be complete without a huge nod to Burberry.  Quintessentially British, there is perhaps no other capture more iconic than the above shot of Kate Moss Londonside and sporting the iconic look.  If you live in a chillier climate, this wool blend option is beautiful {and is currently 30% off!}.  They say rainy days and Mondays but I say, let's buy this one for the look and let the rain fall where it may.  Have a beautiful Monday everyone!  xx

With February quickly coming to a close, I find myself combing through my closet with one eye on the past and one on the future.  Transition time is here and while spring's warm days are still a bit away, we can {happily!} begin peeling back the layers and singing , Here Comes the Sun.  Easing into a new season is always such fun and can also be just a easy.  Keep these key steps in mind and you'll soon be stepping into spring…

1. LIGHTEN AND BRIGHTEN: When you can, lighten the layers with simple switches.  While winter's winds call for down jackets and cashmere blends, spring eases up on us, leaving room for softer, thinner fabrics.  Trade your parka for a fresh moto jacket, still warm enough to keep you comfy but with a current, fresh take on the new season.  

2.  TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME: While boots keep us warm all fall and winter long and I'm probably their biggest fan, I just cannot wait to slip into some really wonderful ankle boots.  Lately, I've been seeing just so many great cutout styles that can take you from now right into summer.  This pair is currently at the top of my wish list.

3. TELL THE WORLD A COLOR STORY: Color has so many amazing possibilities.  Remember the joy of opening a fresh watercolor set or brand new box of crayons?  Ah, well you can still use color to your advantage daily each time you get dressed.  Now's the perfect time to start moving away from blacks and greys and adding some bits of happiness with pops of sunshine-inspired color.  Hello pinks, blues and yellows!

Ready to open your closet and see it with a fresh pair of eyes?  Me too.  Go ahead and enjoy your grown-up version of dress up.  It's the best way to tell the world who you are without ever saying a word.  Have a beautiful Wednesday everyone!
