Pastels, Spring, & Style

By Shanlakes

No, this is not a delayed April fools joke. The rumors are true, overalls are finally back this Spring. I have waited anxiously for this to happen since they went out of style back when I was in 5th grade. So not to overwhelm you considering we are still in our puffy jackets, boots, and gloves but... there are 4 huge trends to look out for this spring: Pastels (in clothes, nails, toes, purses, you name it), OVERALLS, chunky necklaces, and ripped jeans. Above are 9 of my favorite things to fulfill those big trends for Spring 2013 so far. Check the bottom of this post for a side note/opportunity! xoxo


1. Jeffrey Campbell Amelie Lace Espadrilles here 2. Citizens of Humanity Quincy Overalls here 3. Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunglasses here 4. Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag here 5.

As a side note: This spring/summer I want to start a new "Featuring Friday..." section on my blog. This can include bloggers, designers, local businesses, small businesses, start ups, guest blogging, interviews, etc. There is really no limit, the only criteria is that it needs to fit in and be appropriate for the generic content of my blog.  It is a great opportunity for press, publicity, and an easy way to get your name, business, jewelry, blog, etc. out there. I am open to collaborations as well. For all inquiries email me here.  All chosen participants will be at my discretion, but I swear I'm nice and easy to talk to! So email away.
