Spring Wishlist

Winter is still looming in San Francisco. The North East is covered in snow from this past Thursday's Snowstorm and a heavy coat + boots have been my to-go-to outfit for months now. I have my eyes set on Spring time and Spring Wear. After the Golden Globes. I predicted Green and Shoulders to be pretty popular for Spring. As seen on Angelina Jolie and Mila Kunis. I'm ready to add some color to my wardrobe and start exposing a freshly new pedicure + bright / pastel nail colors.

Here is a list of my Spring Wishlist that I've been eyeing. It might be that I miss my sun kissed tan and the days of walking in straight flip flops. Or that I have Miami for Spring Break to look forward to. Yes I will be visiting Miami for the first time come Spring and along with the rest of the Spring Breakers going for the Ultra Music Festival 2011. I'm ready to get my beach, tan, and dancing on. In the meantime I'm getting my G(orYoga) on as I prepare to be bikini-ready.

• Nude Patent Pumps-bc I still want them after never finding a perfect pair. They are perfect to elongate my legs.

As seen on Ms. JLo

These I found on MsHeel.com for cheap =) They are the "Liliana Cord" Nude Platform

• An Essential Clutch Bag in Black. They had this very same Cynthia Rowley bag on Gilt.com not too long along for cheaper too but I was debating it. I always carry my same black Betsey Johnson Leather/Suede crossbody bag everywhere. I think it's time for an alternative.

• A Large Brimmed Camel Hat for the beach. I love San Diego Hat Company the quality is great, great value & wonderful skin protection. I own one (which my old boss brought back from San Diego for me) and I am ready to go BBBBBBIGGG on my next hat. Plus someone once told me that people will always remember the woman who wore the hat when attending an event, well this is a memorable hat! Every girl should have one. 

• A Missoni-like patterned ROMPER/Dress

12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Caftan Dress

I like this look styled on Khloe Kardashian, plus she's petite like me

• A simple White Bustier Dress like this style.

Style Stalker Dress as seen on Bambi

Or a One-Shoulder Dress

•  New Tortoise Sunglasses

I'm loving these Guess by Marciano frames, kind of a Ray-Ban feel to them

Sandal Run

Picture from our unplanned Sandal day at work with my bestest (L:Nory, M:Me, R:Susy)

With the first Official day of Spring here. I needed to update my sandal collection which I overwore all last spring and summer. I had spotted some nice Snake Print Sandals at Macy's the week before I headed down to LA over the weekend for my sisters Spring Break and had put the idea out of my head. I thought I would have a better chance of finding more sandals in sunny SoCal. Well the truth is that I didn't do much shopping while I was in LA, which can be a good thing. My biggest purchase on this trip was an American Apparel sweatshirt at one of their Factory Outlets, while walking on the Venice Boardwalk. It was surprisingly cold, even for a native San Franciscan who barely gets to experience real summer's. I was cold at the beach in my sheer light sweater and denim shorts. WTF I thought you never needed a sweater in LA! Moreover that I had to actually purchase a sweatshirt because my light sweater wasn't quite fit for the weather. Aside from the AA sweatshirt, all I purchased was some belly rings at my favorite spot on the boardwalk (Shout out to Moses Jewelry for hooking me up) and some $7.99 aviators. I am still on the hunt to invest in a good pair of sunglasses for this coming summer since all mine have either broke or the screw has fell off of one of the legs. Booo! I need to take better care of my sunglasses!

During my recent visit to Macy's these are some of the sandals I found. I ended up picking the Snake Print ones, but now I might be reconsidering the cute leopard ones, since leopard is one of my fave prints this season!

The Dolce Vita Section at Macy's

My top picks included DV & Rachel by Rachel Roy

White or Leopard?

It came down to these two...I am big on animal prints right now!

While at Macy's I also stopped at the Juniors/Impulse section to see if I could find any cute spring dress to go with my sandals, but not too much luck there. Just a couple of basics I picked out but didn't purchase. I always tell myself I'll just sleep on it. If I don't think about that particular piece of clothing the next day, than I didn't really want it to begin with.

MinkPink Top I had seen online but after trying it on I wasn't too fond of it

And because it was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's I couldn't miss the opportunity for a threesome with Ben & Jerry and my favorite Strawberry flavored scoop on a Sugar Cone!

Yay for Free Cone Day!
