A glimpse at my recent Instagram will tell you one thing: I am obsessed with big ole statement sunglasses right now. I want them to be weird, huge, and fancy. Picking a pair covered in print is a surefire way to perk up any spring day. No matter your personal style, I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for this season.

After 4 days in LA, I am even more ready for spring, if that’s even possible. Right now I am really feeling fresh florals, especially when the print is grounded in a warm neutral. After a winter of neutrals and darks, I am really excited about coral and sunshine yellow and tangerine! While I’m not ready for bold, saturated color just yet, these florals feel like the perfect way to transition into spring.

I’m getting back to basics with this pairing, folks. In weeks past, I got lazy and showed two actually related images. Not this week!
Today I want to talk about pattern. Specifically how Sonia Rykiel’s pre-fall collection is built on classic essentials with a twist of pattern. On the left (exhibit a?), we see a basic shirt/pant combo, but rendered in head-to-print. On the right (exhibit b?) is the gorgeous watercolor pillow from Imogen Heath. Both pillow and pantset share this inky, navy blue tone I have been loving lately. Set against an optic white ground, I am totally enamored with how the navy pops. It’s funny sometimes how something classic can feel fresh again.

It’s all started with this pin… then, I fell down the rabbithole of the internet and found La Marinière, a tumblr devoted entirely to stripes! I love this idea for so many reasons — don’t know what to wear? Stripes. Need a color palette? Stripes. Need a gift idea for him? Stripes.

Vintage stamps in saturated brights and bold graphics? Yes, please.
One of my favorite finds of the week is definitely this Tumblr of vintage postage stamps. I was driving back from visiting my mom in Maryland today and thinking about this blog post. “Hmmm, what do I want to say about the vintage stamps?” Then, the radio played “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon and immediately I envisioned these stamps dancing to that song. The joyful, happy, punchy colors totally make me think the song and stamps are a perfect pairing. Or my brain is weird…
