Spring into Summer: FTF Blog Event for 5/6/2011

This month’s blog event for Sunglass Hut’s Full Time Fabulous blog by Kristy Elena is centered around spring.  Since it’s getting to be more like summer out here in sunny Southern California, I thought I’d do a transition pictorial of the things I think about when the weather starts to get warmer.  I love pretty floral things, including dresses, hats and shoes (even the tea set is particularly pretty).  I pair them with neutrals, which includes linen colored skirts or shorts and straw purses.  It’s just so nice to wear pretty and light things when the weather permits, which is easy when you live in San Diego.

    1. Thank you! I own the Piccoo heels (which are similar to the one’s pictured), so I guess was subcounciously creating a pictorial of things to go with the shoes 🙂

  3. Those last shoes — amazing! Want/need. I’ll be back to this post once I’m done with my shopping ban & can do some damage. Fantastic picks 🙂

    1. Thank you! I know…I recently gave up shopping for lent, and I went a little crazy at H&M, then bought 2 pairs of shoes and a purse. Yikes! Happy shopping when you finally get to do it 🙂

  5. I’m adoring that Modcloth skirt, as well as the excellent colours you’ve shown us for this lovely season! -xxoo

  6. Okay, I want all those pieces. I love everything! This was such a great idea, and I can definitely see all of these transitioning into summer. The florals are a great way to call on spring throughout both seasons. Lovely job!

    1. Thanks Casee Marie! But I think you did a better job at using florals in your pictorial! You did a fantastic job!
