With the first day of Spring this week, my thoughts turn to clear sunny days and soft colors. Although this morning is full of thunderstorms and chilly winds. But, I can indulge in my little piece of Spring right here! Lately I’ve been catching up on my DVR’d shows, which includes several hours of Red Carpet watching. Seems the days are gone when I can actually watch things live. But, what surprised me about this year’s Oscar Red Carpet was the overall softness of the colors. There were very few bright colors, particularly the emerald green I was expecting to see everywhere. But there was no lack of gorgeous dresses to choose from, as you can see above. One of my favorites was Jessica Chastain in that amazing coppery beaded Armani Prive gown. So many subtle shades.
And Chanel has released their lovely Spring collection of nail lacquers, Printemps Precieux. You know I normally go in for the dark, vampy colors like Accessoire, but I’m really drawn to Emprise, which is a rosy beige. Perfect almost nude nail that would go perfectly with a brighter wardobe. And Fracas, who can resist a pretty, bright pink? This one will most definitely transition into the summer months.
Even Starbucks is celebrating Spring in Japan with their new Sakura line. It even includes cherry blossom macarons (which you know I can’t resist). It’s too bad that this lovely pink deliciousness won’t be available in the States, but from what I hear the taste (not cherry at all) might not translate to the American palate. But what fun a pink latte would be (as long as it’s not strawberry, since I’m allergic!).
And I saw a photo on Instagram the other day of the new Coach handbags in Mint. I can’t resist, such a gorgeous color for Spring. Too too tempting. Alas, I am on a new handbag hiatus, so no Coach bag for me. But look at those fun tassels too. Gah!
I did have to indulge in my own version of that luxurious mint color though. How do you like my Essie Mint Candy Apple mani this week? Perfect, huh? Such a fun color. I’ve really enjoyed wearing it.
And how can I resist anything in a bright pretty yellow? (I can’t) Of course, the J Crew bubble necklaces are almost everywhere these days, but I just love it in yellow. A fun bright pop of color against a subtle colored top? Love. It.
What’s bringing thoughts of Spring to you this week?
