As spring is upon us it has become increasingly apparent to me that my wardrobe is simply not prepared. Every once in awhile I reach a point where I don't like any of my clothing and crave something new. And by "something" I actually mean "a great deal of things". So, I have spent the last couple of weeks focusing on searching out a few great new pieces in preparation for warmer weather. This has lead to a hiatus in outfit posts, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the upcoming results. Everyone deserves to treat themselves with something new every now and again! Whether or not this is really true, or just what people with shopping addictions say to make it all better, remains to be seen.
I can't properly describe in words my current obsession with the color mint green. Even though coral is dominating stores as the most popular fashion color this spring/summer, I assure you that light powdered green is coming next. If you're a Zara shopper, you already know what I'm talking about. The floor is filled with it, and customers can't seem to get enough. If you haven't already, it's time to go green. But don't feel limited to this color only. Light pastel tones, or "powdered brights", are ready to take front a center stage when everyone is tired of bright primary colors. I've already started stocking up because let's face it: bright orange, kelly green, and canary yellow just aren't my colors. As a designer, and as a fashionable person alike, I'm screaming for pastels. I found this spearmint t-shirt at Urban Outfitters, practically sold out, and it is exactly what I needed to start preparing for the summer. I have a serious Mint Condition, and I'm ready for some therapy. Retail therapy, that is!

Special thanks to my beautiful friend Dawn for taking these photos before a boozy brunch session. She's a talented illustrator, and I'll be posting her work for you all see some day soon. I know you'll be as impressed as I am.
