River Bridge

The holiday weekend kind of threw me for a loop, but I'm getting back in the groove. Better late than never, right? So, without further adieu . . . . this week, I once again chose from our latest collection of butter LONDON. I was instantly attracted to the bright cobalt blue of Blagger.

I mean, how couldn't you? It's bright and peppy and happy and perfect for this humid transition between the brief season of Spring and the long Summer ahead.

Look Like a Lady

Ever panic when you let your mind slip away and suddenly, you're roped in to obligations and arrangements you had completely forgotten about? In fact, you were positive they weren't for another week or two, thus giving you plenty of time to prepare for it.

It's the 'oh, crap' moment we are all too familiar with.

If you've let Easter slip up on you and you're not sure what to wear to sunrise services or Easter brunch or the afternoon egg hunt or all of the above, fear not because we've got you covered.

Remember, Easter is not a time to show all the bits. It's a religious day and should be approached with respect. Even if you aren't particularly religious in that aspect, it's still not the time to show the world what all you've got in broad Spring daylight. Thankfully, respect doesn't mean boring or ugly. Let's keep it classy, ladies.

Try to stay away from anything too dark or heavy like black or wool. Instead, opt for lighter and brighter colors like pastels and jewel tones in floaty fabrics like chiffon or something more classic like cotton. These two rules will do several things to boost your appearance. One, it will keep you cool with the lighter fabrics and will avoid the awful sweat stains that are bound to happen after watching/laughing at/chasing small children as they search for hidden eggs and candy. Two, pastels and/or jewel colors look great on everybody and will enhance even the slightest tan, making you glow and seem happy and cheerful.
