We have been having the most mercurial weather so far this Spring. For example, two days ago it was 40 degrees and rainy, today it is supposed to be 85 and sunny, and tomorrow rainy and cold again. It's driving me absolutely crazy because I am sooooo ready for spring already! And it's made even worse by the fact that I just love all the delicate floral patterns and lace embellishments that seem to be everywhere this season. I am just chomping at the bit to wear them! I was always that kid wearing her wool jumper and tights on the first day of school - even if it was 80 degrees out. No patience at all. :-)
Sadly, until the weather cooperates and I can finally put away the winter coats, I guess I am just going to have to focus on my spring accessories instead. In that spirit, I thought I would share a few recent springy finds. Don't you just love these new shades of nail polish from Essie...
They are so pastel and pretty. My favorites are "Muchi Munchi", the perfect soft pink, and "French Affair", a gorgeous pale Lavender.
I also found these sweet little floral hair clips at H&M...
They were only $2.50 for two! In the perfect shade of minty green. Not into wearing flowers in your hair? Try clipping them onto a pair of ballet flats. And how adorable is this little necklace from Forever 21?
It's a replica of a vintage hand mirror! And the mirror is real. A major bargain at only $1.50!
And finally, I LOVE this pretty pink lace scarf from Target...
Wear it "as is"...or tune in tomorrow to see what I do with it. :-)
Happy "almost" Spring!
Jessica

Oh Jessica, I found a Forever 21 in Montreal. I wasn't too fond of their clothing BUT... their accessories were awesome. LOVE the little mirror. My daughter was just there on Sun. Wish I would have known. I'll have to call them for sure and set some aside for my "girls" that are coming this summer.
I did get some little hair rosettes too. Mine are pink and black. I LOVE wearing them in my hair.
Thanks, I always love your pretties.

I like the minty green floral hair clips. I agree if you don't use them as hair clips, you can find many uses for them.
