Spring, not yet Sprung

Snowzilla has hit the city.

While I'm all for powder during the holiday season, right about now I'm yearning for pastel tulips and a gorgeous trench. There is nothing quite like the moment the air changes and suddenly Spring has announced its sweet arrival.  The ability to prance around town in a light jacket, rather than schlep around with puffy parkas and salt stained boots is a luxury. That first glimpse of greenery refreshes my mind, instead of being trapped indoors refreshing my inbox.  

Last week while in South Beach, Florida I waltzed into J. Crew. Upon entry, I immediately had flashing images of my future wearing light silk camisoles under cotton blouses, while effortlessly balancing my family life and career. Okay that's pushing it, but as a student I could barely afford a headband in that place.

So when I came across this adorable tote, I had to buy it. Not only was the price reasonable at $10, but the women walking their dogs reminded me of my favourite warm weather past time.

 

Sidenote: I wish I looked this chic while walking my dog Bailey, well minus the girl walking her dog in what seems to be her bathing suit.
