There are so many fashion trends that I’m loving this spring. Some of my favorites are pastels—especially light pink, floral prints, and the graphic black and white trends that are evident in all areas of fashion right now.

Everyday Sequins in Your Everyday Wardrobe Sequin is not just for New Years Eve party-wear, as you can now find it in everyday fashions. Sequin pieces bring sparkle into otherwise gloomy and cold winter days. Of course, I definitely approve of wearing a sequin party dress for New Years Eve or carrying a sparkly clutch…

I really love heels, but they don’t work into my lifestyle very often anymore–chasing around two years olds, and all.
