Martin Luther King Jr Day 2014

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day 2014!

Martin Luther King Jr. opened the doors and inspired future generations to fight for their rights. Although our country still has a long way to go towards complete equality, we have come a long way since what Martin Luther King Jr. witnessed in his lifetime. 

Thank you to Martin Luther King Jr. for his inspiration and for fighting for equality and freedom.

The San Francisco Bay Area has been enjoying drought weather this winter season. Not that we enjoy a drought, we need water! But, it is nice to be able to leave the heater turned off and bask in temperatures hovering between 60 and 73 degrees! Due to this spring-like weather pattern, I am craving a spring-like wardrobe! Of course, January is when all the bills from December arrive in the mail, therefore, it really is not a great month to start going crazy at the mall by buying everything that is spring! So, to add one small bit of spring-like sunshine to my dark winter wardrobe, I bought this bright pink tote from Rebecca Minkoff’s spring 2014 collection!

I love this tote. Not only is it a bright, cheery pink, the hue blends well with my vast array of blue, green and purple apparel. Love that! To make the tote an even better purchase, it is made from saffiano leather which is incredibly durable. It is so durable, if I happen to get caught in a rainstorm, (<cough cough> if it ever rains!), my tote will survive the watery skies.

Are you starting to crave the spring season? If so, how are you incorporating it into your current wardrobe?


PVC for spring 2014

The PVC trend is back. Designers in Milan, as well as a few in Paris, New York and London, are showing PVC for the upcoming warm weather season. For spring 2014, PVC is being shown as an accent as well the main fabrication for accessories. On Fendi’s spring/summer 2014 runway we saw a large amount of colorful PVC used on shoes and throughout the show. In fact, Fendi’s use of PVC for spring 2014 may just be the nucleus of the trend!

 PVC has been peeking in and out of style over the past few years, and for spring 2014, it has come back with a vengeance. Clear handbags are hotter than hot; whether made with PVC or another similar material, the look is clear. See through accessories are where its’ at!

For spring and summer 2014, look for PVC accents on shoes and look for full, see-though handbags. If you rocked this trend the first time is came around a few years ago, bring out those PVC pieces from the back of your closet. They are hot again! If not, this is a fun trend to play with for the spring/summer 2014 season. Look for one PVC piece to add to your collection. 

I found a few fabulous PVC pieces around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
