Spring, Summer, & Snow? At least there's Flowers and Bows :)

I first want to say Hi blog, oh how I've neglected you so. I have some legit excuses though. I work full time, I've been fighting off constant illnesses; first the stomach flu, then the regular flu, a cold, and now a sinus infection as a result of the cold! I blame work. Everyone comes in sick and they cough on me!! Gross, ugh, and then I catch their bug. I swear some people are out to get me, and make me feel miserable. I try my best to stay healthy by eating right, working out, and taking my vitamins, but I guess this girl has got a weak immune system because hey, lets face it, I'm sick all the time, for real, my friends can vouch for me. But I'm just sick of being sick. There must be some solution to prevent these illnesses. Any ideas anyone? Can you say more vitamins?


I've also been a busy traveler in my spare time (and luckily not sick during my travels). Three weeks ago I went out to Colordo to visit my boyfriend Josh. He lives near Steamboat Springs, and wow that area is gorgeous! Everytime I visit I don't want to leave, and not only because he is there, well mainly, but really, I could definitely see that place as home. One week after Colorado I went out to Chicago to visit my friend Kriti. She recently got her first job out there (Kriti I'm still so proud of you!) so her and a few of our friends had a girls weekend! And it just happened to be the St. Patty's day celebration weekend while we were there so we saw the green river, packed bars, and crazy drunks getting into fights. I couldn't ask for a better time.


Okay, enough of my ranting and raving, lets get down to business, and what this blog is really supposed to be about. Fashion!


So all of you Michiganders out there, did you hear its Spring? Well I didn't because it's 30 degrees and snowing.  Everyone here is sick of it, but you know what? When it does get warm we are all going to be so appreciative! And getting us all even more excited for spring?!! All the new clothes and shoes! I've been seeing and buying all too much. My closet is packed to the gills and screaming at me "Out with the old and in with the NEW!" I want to share two trends I've found out in the market in hopes that you may adopt some of these to your Spring 11 wardrobes too.


Bow's- They have been a love of mine for many years, and I'm ecstatic that they are all over this summer's shoes. From flats to heels and everywhere in between. All from Nordstrom.




Floral Prints- Always loved them, never could get enough. So happy they are back for another season and in even greater force! Feminine, Flirty, and Full of Summer Warmth!
