Spring Trends: Citrus Print

Citrus Print Spring Trend

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight

After surviving the most prolonged, brutal and bone-chilling winter in history (I tend to exaggerate when I whine), I think it’s safe to say we’re ready for brighter times ahead.  Even though it still doesn’t feel like spring in NYC, I can’t help but crave all things sweet and citrusy.

Citrus print isn’t anything new, but it’s back in full force this season.  I especially love the tangerine print blouse from J.Crew Factory and the lemon printed Keds for Kate Spade.  But if the quirky print (or an even quirkier straw clutch) isn’t you thing, you can still embrace one of my favorite spring trends with a punch of citrus color.

Little Leopard Dress

Warehouse Leopard Print DressI used to think I had my wardrobe basics covered when it came to dresses.  Little black dress?  Check.  Little white dress?  Check and check.  But a little leopard dress?  Where have you been all of my life?!
Leopard Dress with Leather Trim I’m no stranger to leopard print: I’m talking pumps, flats, bags, multiple blouses and sweaters.  I usually take leopard in small doses, so a dress is a new one for me.  But I really don’t know why it took me so long add one to the wardrobe, because when you find the right print and the right cut and the cutest leather trimming, the idea of a little leopard dress doesn’t seem wild at all.Black Statement Necklace Black and Leopard Print Outfit Black Purse with Gold Hardware Leopard Print Dress Black and Leopard Print Outfit

This week I …

• Am realizing the dangers of working for an amazing brand.  I want everything, including: these camo pants, this bright turquoise blazer and this darling little white dress.

• Bought this gold gum ball lamp from Urban Outfitters.  Now do I place it on my nightstand or on my desk?

• Celebrated the boyfriend’s birthday with ramen, sushi, sake and a donut ice cream sandwich.  Needless to say, my body hates me today.

• Watched my first Broadway show in over a year.  Only two more to go until I can check off my goal of seeing three shows before I turn 28.

• Can’t decide between striped loafers number one or striped loafers number two.  Help me decide!

• Loved getting to know the jewelry designers behind Emily and Ashley at a blogger brunch last week.  !t was amazing to hear about their journey and the inspiration behind their QVC Line.

• Swooning over J.Crew Factory’s darling floral and stripes printed pieces, which comes in a camisole, tank, shorts and skirt form.  You know I love me some mixed prints.  Even better when they’re already mixed for you!

• Plan on hopping over to Ann Taylor to pick up these ankle strap heels in black, nude, snake or all the above … and these strappy wedges in beige.  Take 40% off your entire purchase for their friends and family sale!
