Pretty please Spring!

Fi-nal-ly! spring is here!... I think. It has been teasing us since the official date until I begged like my son would "Please pretty please" come out, come out Spring!

PRINTS

I love this trend which can be floral print, water color print or geometric print. It's the perfect way to wear many colors at once without the restrictions of  the color blocking rules. Also animal print always gives an edge that will surely be noticed.



Floral

When I think of floral for this Spring I see flowing dresses and pants. I want to feel as light as a flower (without the 6 day/week gym regimen and low carb diet I am inflicting myself to fit in my summer clothes this year). I dream of spring collections 2013 from Ralph Lauren and Zac Posen annd Diane von Furstenberg...

The entire collection from designer Sophie Albou for Paul & Joe makes me want to travel.

Erdem's use of print can be ecclectic but this sheath dress inspires me for Spring.



Animal Print


There is nothing better than a wild armor in the form of an animal print to feel confident.

 I am still attracted to flowing styles to soften the edgy side.

I must say I can't help but want to wear snake prints as well.

...and why not mix snake with another Spring trend: stripes!
