Pale Pink

Only in Chicago can it be 72 and sunny one day — and 31 with snow flurries the next… In April.

Le sigh.

This has been, of course, a welcome excuse to stay indoors and be productive.

My move last week went super smoothly — but then again, anything is easier than moving in NYC. Most of my things are out of boxes, which means that nearly every square inch of surface is covered in, well, stuff. Just trying to find the time to put it all away!

Thankfully, I forced myself to purge, purge, purge and get rid of (donate) a lot of the things I don’t wear or haven’t worn in awhile over the past few weeks. (Spring cleaning feels so damn good, doesn’t it?)

… And weather-wise, I suppose I don’t mind the excuse to prolong the wear one of my favorite cold-weather coats. All I’ve wanted to do lately, though, is shop for warm-weather clothes… Spring fever is fully alive over here!

Out with the old, in with the new…

Thankfully, there’s a handful of awesome sales springing up (ahem) at the moment — my favorite, as always, being Shopbop’s annual friends & family sale, which is 25% off your purchase with code INTHEFAM.

I just bought this handbag, which will be the perfect peach-colored carry-all for spring/summer (and it’s big enough to fit my computer, which is a must).

If you’re looking for recommendations on how to score big in this sale, start with your favorite name-brand designers — J Brand jeans, Rebecca Minkoff, Michael Kors and so on. Don’t feel bad about purchasing those classic, often sought-after items that will never go on sale… Shopbop has free shipping and returns, so you can always send it back if you change your mind.

Of course, the site’s curated collection of activewear is not to be missed — and this is a great opportunity to shop for a new bathing suit for the season.

I’m also a big fan of Loeffler Randall accessories — I bought these sandals in nude a few weeks ago, and I’m thinking about getting this pair of leather lace-up espadrilles, too. All about a nude sandal for summer — and like I said, I purged a lot of my items this season! Here’s a few more of my favorite items below…

For now, it’s back to spring-time day dreamin’… Heading to Dallas this weekend, so warm weather is in my near future (and hopefully yours too)!

  1. Love this coat! How crazy that I was in sandals yesterday and had to drag my coat back out for DC’s 32 degree weather today. UGH. Ready for spring to stay!
