Spring is in the air

03.14.11
It’s safe to say that spring has hit Phoenix in full force. The afternoons are warm, and the evenings are just about the same. I can already feel the dreaded heat coming from the concrete, and all the plants and flowers are blooming around me. By the looks of it we’re going to have a hot spring, but I’m crossing my fingers that we get to stay in the 70’s for a little while longer.

Cardigan: J Crew; Tank top: Gap; Skirt: Gap; Jeno Booties: c/o Blowfish Shoes
I wore this outfit during the filming of my “In Bloom: Seven Days of Spring Style” vlog. Not quite sure the exact day yet, but sometime this week my vlog will be posted either on Thursday’s blog, or Maria’s blog. I was so excited when they asked me to be a part of this fun week! I don’t want to give too much away, but lets just say that I take you on a tour of one of my fav local vintage/handmade stores and talk about said items.
I felt super springy in this outfit. For years I have said that I am not a spring person, even though I am technically a spring baby, but this year it feels like the season is starting to grow on me. I’m excited for pretty dresses and sandals.
Remember the last time I wore these sweet Blowfish Booties? I said that the next I wear them I really want to style them with a flowy skirt. Well, I’m happy to say that I was pleased with the outcome of the look. I think the booties toned down the outfit a bit (much to my pleasure) and made for a nice rustic feel.

The plants around the Grow-Op in downtown are blooming like crazy right now. Makes for such pretty scenery in the urban area it sits in.
I think I’ve decided that braids will be my thing this spring. They just add something special to an every day hairstyle.
