Spring Fever

This time of year always seems to be a bit of a tease for me. The weather warms up for a few days only to cool off again, leaving me yearning for shorts, sandals, and all things spring. Because of this, I’ve lately been obsessed with scouring magazines and various websites, searching for what will become my spring wardrobe. Here, a peak at my top 5 must-haves for spring:

1) All-Over Prints


Marc Jacobs


2) Stripes


Prada


3) Bold Colors


Marc Jacobs


Lanvin

4) Lace


Erdem


Tracy Reese

5) Florals

Mission: Tutu

My newest obsession is browsing etsy.com at all hours of the day and night. They have the most unique items, from sexy sundresses to a whole section devoted to “geekery”. When I came across these tutus, I was instantly smitten. Lately I’ve had a bit of an infatuation with tutus. I recently purchased a black tutu-shaped skirt with a white bow waistband at Forever 21, but I still couldn’t get over my desire to have a real tutu (especially since, in all my years of ballet lessons, I’ve never actually owned one.) These ones have everything that I’ve ever imaged in the perfect tutu: bright colors, see-through material, and a short, puffy shape. (Plus, the black wire mannequin in these photos just completes the fairy tale feel.) Even though they’re designed for infants and young children, you can get them custom-made in adult sizes, as well. Mission accomplished!
