Never been much of a leaf peeper.
Grew up in the tropics.
More of a palm tree gawker but even I need to recognize how beautiful fall foliage is!

Blazers & Blossoms
Spring brings blossoms and blazers.
There is nothing in the world like a good blazer. It compliments any outfit and hides a multitude of sins!
It is the perfect piece to add to jeans and a t-shirt. It is the perfect date night piece to wear over a slinky-spaghetti-strapped-this-date-is-promising kind of top. It is the perfect piece to wear when traveling (not too hot/not too cold).
Classic navy and black basic blazers have some fun company this season. Brilliant pinks, stripes, florals and metallics. Click on the pics to go directly to the source!

‘If you were to ask me what I wish I had invented in fashion, it would be the white shirt. To me, a shirt is the basis for everything. Everything else comes afterwards.’
Karl Lagerfeld
Nothing says Spring has Sprung like wearing a white shirt.
It is one of the most basic yet versatile fashion staples in any closet.
The white shirt is like cupcakes – they are NEVER going to go out of style!
My juggling skills are not building block material, but it does entertain everyone while waiting for dinner to be ready! 🙂
Cropped WHAT?!?
Memo to designers – Not all women’s stomachs are created equal.
Some are in their early twenties and have washboard six packs. Others are a teeny bit older and have had some babies, and are now the proud owners of tummy-Shar-Peis.
Hence the Spring fashion conundrum concerning crop tops & the need for Fashion Translation!
There are some wondrous collections out this spring, most of which are offering crop tops. What’s the owner of a muffin top to do?
Option One – the layered look. This is a great option for Spring (and almost Spring), as layering is key to survival when it is freezing in the morning then scorching in the afternoon.
Wear a longer tee short or blouse underneath the crop. But don’t tuck!
Option Two – Tune in tomorrow…… 🙂

Not The Boss of Me!
You (winter) cannot make me (reversecommuter) wear a coat anymore!
How low the temperature goes…I am powerless. 😦
How much snow falls on the ground…again, completely devoid of any say. (Needless to say, that hurts!)
Number of snow days where me and the bambinos are trapped indoors – apparently I am powerless on that count too!
Whether I wear a coat or not...HA! THE DECISION IS MINE ALL MINE!!!!!!
A vest with a couple of layers underneath allow the bobble-head-chauffeurs of the ‘burbs (aka mommies) to bounce around in style even in the deep dark days of winter!
Sucker Boyfriend
Seersucker is the epitome of a Spring wardrobe, be it blue or pink…
paired with boyfriend jeans, (Mother boyfriend’s – click here to shop)
a great t-shirt (J Crew perfect fit t-shirt click here)
and of course a hoola hoop!
(mad skill not included…)
