What is more cuter then bunny nails for Easter? They are perfect for the Holiday, plus they are fun for spring...and they are super adorable.
What you need:

Steps:

2. Paint your ring finger purple. Do two coats.
3. Repeat step 1 & 2 on the other hand.
4. Take your tooth pick and dip it into the white nail polish. Create half a circle at the edge of your ring finger nail. Carefully use the white nail polish brush to paint in the semi circle.
5. Take the tooth pick and dip it again into the white nail polish and create the the bunny ears.
6. Use a new tooth pick to dip it into the pink nail polish and lightly create a dot a little above the edge of the nail to make a nose.
7. Use another tooth pick to dip into black nail polish, lightly create two little dots above the nose for the eyes.
8. Reuse the pink tooth pick and re-dip it in the pink polish. Lightly fill the middle of the ears for the pink inside of the bunny ears.
9. Repeat steps 4 thru 8 on your other hand.

One Neon Pump, Two Ways: Casual and Dressy
It would be an understatement to say that I love brights...in any form. Neon accessories, like shoes, are the perfect way to mix in color while dealing with the in between weather. Bold shoes are a statement maker and can be taken from a dressier occasion like a wedding to an everyday look.

Spring Trend: Monochrome
Since the weather has been wacky I decided to layer up two of my favorite jackets, my Michael Kors leather jacket under my light weight houndstooth Roxy jacket. Adding a printed black and white piece to your look can give it a more vibrant feeling instead of just your basic black and white look.

Inspirational Monday: SXSW
Pictures from Instagram: 1. Natalie Off Duty 2. Megan Sebold 3. Free People 4. Urban Outfitters
With my instagram flooding of pictures of SXSW I can't help but radiant with jealousy. I wish I was hanging out in the warm weather drinking some beers, listening to some rad music, dressing like the ultimate hipster, instead of sitting in my office this past week. And Coachella coming up next month UGH more festival goodness that I wish I could part take in. I'll get to both of these...one year.
But in the end it was St. Patrick's Day weekend so we did get to kick back with some beers and friends...Even though the weather wasn't on our side with som random snow flurries.

Spring Trends: Totally Nautical
There is something about the nautical look that I love. It's one of those perfect summer trends that never goes out of style...especially when out on the beach or on a boat. It's also a trend that you don't need to spend a lot of money on, you might even have some pieces in your closet right now!
For an early spring look you can easily pull off the nautical trend that was seen at Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors runway shows for Spring 2013 by pairing up your favorite striped shirts and sweaters. The trick to layering stripes, so that it doesn't seem so scary, is to play with different sized stripes. Try a smaller width stripped shirt under a thicker width striped sweater. Another is to play with colors, try a navy striped paired with a red stripe, these tricks are to help with the contrast and not looking totally stripe on stripe. To keep the look from being to stripped crazy pair neutral tones to your look like a pair of white jeans or black shoes.
This past weekend my fiance and I went to Atlantic City for a mini anniversary getaway and I was totally inspired by-- A. hitting the beach B. Tommy Hilfiger's Spring ads (which are popping up in every magazine). I decided that a little nautical look for the trip would be deemed appropriate and fun. I paired my white pair of jeans from H&M with two of my favorite striped tops along with my trench to keep me some what warm.

To say the least this mini trip made me long for summer even more. It was great to get out of the city, to see the beach, and breath some fresh air...but it was a total tease being at the beach and not really being able to be on it. Even though we got totally lucky with the weather!

Spring is on its way...at least it sure did feel that way this weekend, even with melted snow on the ground from the freak snow storm we had on Friday. I'm just glad to have been able to layer lighter pieces and to see some sun light.
Are you ready for Spring?

The Prabal Gurung for Target is probably the first designer line that I truly loved...especially loved enough to actually buy a piece from the collection. The collection is so on trend for spring with the mixed prints, the kaleidoscope effect, and the color-blocking articles. I couldn't wait any longer to wear this dress. Hopefully it'll be warm enough soon to wear it with out stockings and some strappy sandals!

DIY: Marc by Marc Jacobs' Lily Polka-dot Skinny Jean
Marc by Marc Jacobs mid-rise jeans, $290
What You Need:
- White Fabric Paint
- Round Sponge Brushes (used: 3/4 inch Round Tulip Sponge Pouncers)
- a palate or a paper plate to mix fabric paint and water
- light washed destroyed denim jeans (mine are from Forever21)
- optional: measuring tape
Step 1. Mix fabric paint with water. It helps to get the faded color of the dots
Step 2. Use the round brush start stamping your dots. I first started measuring out the dots with my measuring tape but then just started doing it by just eyeing it.
Step 3. Wait for the front side to dry and repeat on back side.
You can also use Swell Mayde's direction...there she tells you her measurement of dots.

1 Blazer, 2 Ways Part 2: Weekend Warrior
As Spring draws closer and the weather gets a bit warmer we can start to shed our layers. I can't wait to say goodbye to heavy coats and get into some light weight jackets. Blazers are a good in-between jacket for Spring into Summer, even on the weekends. You can have fun with a blazer by dressing it down with a pair of your favorite skinny jeans and a rock shirt. Or you can dress it up with a dress and cute accessories.
