Spring into Seychelles

I recently moved to windy Chicago after living in sunny Los Angeles and let me tell you, the weather change is pretty drastic! It's been snowing here all week long, but I'm looking forward to warmer weather. It almost seems like winter will never end here as I've heard from the locals that it's cold here through April, but luckily I'm taking a break from the snow and venturing back out to Los Angeles & Palm Springs in a month. 

With summer weddings and Coachella ahead, I'm already looking for inspiration for some warm weather outfits. Here's what I'm inspired by right now!

Trend Board: Pretty Pastels

This year was lit aflame with neon hues and fluorescent brights. While we're still big fans of the statement colors, there's a new trend approaching and it's not as loud. The Spring 2012 runway shows were painted with subtle, muted and elegant soft pastels and pale shadows. They reminded us of sorbets, Easter eggs, Jordanian almonds and weddings. Since we can't go cold turkey and ditch the neon just yet, we suggest mixing and matching some of your old pieces with your new pastel additions to the closet.
