Happy Spring

Spring is here at last. I say this from the comfort of my Southern California climate and give you permission to hate me a little. Just because I don't get snow days, doesn't mean I don't jump at the chance to welcome spring colors in to my wardrobe.
Here's what I'm currently lusting over for Spring:

Spring Wishlist by lauraacc featuring pointy toe shoes

1. Pointed tow spectator pumps. Black & white is one of my favorite combinations (I know, super original). I  rarely wear high heels, so the 2.5" height is just perfect for me. 

2. Emerald green is not just the Pantone "it" color of the season, it is also one of my favorite colors. Joie is my go to for comfy everyday tops that can be dressed up or down.

3. I have at least one bridal shower a month for as far as the eye can see. This dress could not be more perfect bridal shower attire. Love the black lace with the soft floral pattern and the high neck.

4. J Crew simple sheath. Great color. I wear these dresses to death. 

5. Bow flat sandals in black & white? These are screaming my name. 

6. Cat eye shades are in a big way and I want to hop on the bandwagon. I hate sunglasses that don't cover my eyebrows and I think these will be perfect.

The Holy Grail of Denim

Happy National Margarita Day, friends! Or for those who don't celebrate the latest made-up internet holiday, happy Friday! Both are valid.
And while I always thought Cinco de Mayo was national margarita day, apparently I was wrong.
This weekend is going to be rather low key since I have yet to unpack from last week's ski trip and we are taking off for the east coast on Thursday morning. Meaning I will be drinking a margarita while doing laundry. Also on the "re-gain control of my life" agenda? Cleaning out my closet. Maybe I'll get brave enough to take before and after shots. I certainly have the scary before scene mastered.
I know people who clean out their closets once a season or at least twice a year. I envy those people. I have  terrible luck with getting rid of clothes. I tend to keep all of the barely warn jeans that only fit for a brief 6 week period senior year of college and toss the slightly too large, nice to have after the holidays wear. Sadly the Field of Dreams, "if you build it,  they will come" mentality does not work with weight loss. At least not for me.
In my 6 months post wedding concession I decided to buy myself a new pair of jeans. Wow, does it feel good to breathe again!
These are the jeans I purchased. They are without a doubt the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The dark wash makes them versatile. The fabric is softer than normal denim and they are stretchy yet thick. They are skinny enough to tuck easily in to boots while also looking cute with ballet flats or heals. I didn't even need them hemmed (and I'm 5'6 with extremely average length legs)!
In other words, the holy grail of denim. Now to order them in every color.
