Spring Blazers...

One of my latest fashion obsessions is spring blazers.  Many of spring's trends are being incorporated into this closet staple.  No longer are blazers limited to classic neutral colors.  We are seeing stripes, bright colors, florals, colorblocking, and polka dots.  Take a look at a few of my current favorites...

Capturing Coachella Style

Many people headed out to the Cali desert last weekend where music and street style collided at America's favorite music festival --> Coachella!  It's fun to see the boho fashion every year.  This year was no exception with the abundance of crop tops, denim cutoff shorts, throwback tees, flowy dresses, hats and floral headpieces, sunnies, ankle boots, and piles of jewelry.  Take a look at Coachella style at its' finest!

These looks scream "summer"!  Bring it on!

Hope you are having a fabulous week :)
