TROPICAL SPRING

Spring is my second favorite season and every year I look forward to its arrival and renewal of all things beautiful. After several cold and dreary months, there is nothing better than fresh blooms, greenery & the chance to wear sandals. Spring provides hope of hot Summer days to come and just the thought of being sun-kissed gets me giddy.

With only a few weeks left until the official arrival of Summer, I want to share this pastel-hued look with you. Pastels are usually popular this time of year especially with floral prints while tropical prints tend to be reserved for Summer. This look intersects the two seasons perfectly; combiing the soft colors of Spring with patterns reminiscent of a tropical Summer on the islands. It's the perfect mix for a Caribbean gyal such as myself.

DANCING EMOJI

Hi everyone! If you live in the US, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! If not, I still hope your weekend was filled with adventures. The weather has warmed up nicely in NYC and all I want to do is be outside. I attend a brunch even this weekend and decided to share a few snaps of my look.

DAISY CRAZE

By now you probably get that I kinda, sorta, really love Dolce & Gabbana and while preparing my Lemonade themed S tyle & The Bar Cart post I noticed DG's Daisy collection.The daisies reminded me of the 60's and gave me hope for a flower filled Spring/Summer. These little flowers are everywhere and I decided to do a roundup inspired by their pretty white petals and yellow centers.

VINTAGE SHOPPING THROWBACK

Last Summer, I took a trip to a quaint little town called Doylestown in Pennsylvania and came across this wonderful vintage shop.

I never got around to sharing the trip with you so how about we invent throwback Tuesday (does that already exist?) and take a stroll down memory lane together!
