a fresh spring breeze

yesterday's weather sent that happy little jolt zipping through my veins for the first time in months.  i LOVE the end of winter.  cold is mine enemy.  i could go on and on, but it would just get boring.  and so, on to SPRING and it's dear friend SUMMER!!  hakuna matata darlings.  in keeping with this joy - Target is giving us a spring offering of a Calypso collab, hitting stores and online May 1.   as one of my rich inner lives involves me spending a long languid life on an exotic beach, this is perfect for me.  rather conveniently, i do have a honeymoon to go on... so i will be finding a number of these pieces extremely necessary.  it's a large range, (much like the Liberty line a few months back) with home goods, kids clothes and some great pieces for we ladies.  a lot of the items are silk and linen, so you're getting something worth your while - and at a price point topping out at $79, fear not the wallet strain!   sweet spring satisfaction.

summer is not yet gone!

i'm a bit taken aback by the fact i keep thinking of boots and i dared mention a sweater... so in an effort to keep summer here - for a bit longer (June doesn't count this year, the weather was crap - so i figure we are owed an extra month) i hereby declare i shall shift my thinking.

behold the cute summer-y dress! for all the mags that said maxi dresses were "out" this year - i say "BAH" to you. these babies aren't goin away - so deal with it. mix it up, i say. mini, maxi, rock it any way you feel when you wake up in the morning. a dress is a dress and they look nice. the one ms. jennifer aniston is sporting here is from Calypso. a dreamy store if i ever did see one. kind of an "i woke up on a tropical island where we all wear floaty things" dream. the best dream ever! there are maxi dresses abounding out there - one in every single price range. well worth looking for, and if you have any particular questions - of course i am here to guide.

i'm diggin on the fact she is carrying this tote bag as well. i saw this yesterday at Bergdorf's. (i was winding my way home from lunch with my love... and a particularly intense PT session). and i thought "i'm glad people are doing this more these days". as with the dress - there are charity bags at lots of places these days - a do good tote... Hayden Harnett is doing them, and have a new one coming out soon. whatever your cause may be - there is most likely a tote bag out there to support it!

that's my lecture for the day. do good. shop, but do good as well. good is good.
