official update: it's spring!

It’s official! The first day of Spring is here and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s time to pack away those winter coats and bust out the sandals! So what are our three favorite things we are super excited about this spring?

Number 1. Not being cold while eating a fresh Caesar salad.

Try this amazingly tasty Jamie Oliver recipe from FoodNetwork.com

Number 2. Wearing a deep v tee shirt tucked in cuffed slim khaki chinos with cute flats.

Tees by American Apparel, Chinos by Band of Outsiders, Flats by Common Projects

Number 3. Dressing up said outfit with a piece from the Grayling spring/summer line like the Pazi statement necklace. (available beginning of April)

Happy Spring everyone!

let your pants do the talking

We absolutely fell in love with these Celine pants when we saw Christine Centenera wearing them on Stockholm-StreetStyle.com. The bold print is an exciting and well-appreciated breath of fresh air in the stagnant world of trousers.

The pants are part of Celine’s Spring 2011 collection. We love Ms Centenera’s gold choker but those pants would also look amazing paired with a plain black tank and a Grayling Tranquility Necklace.

This spring liven up your wardrobe with some daring britches and be the talk of the town.

nice pair: new for spring

Punxatawney Phil says its an early spring so it gives us good reason to kick up our heels and get excited for spring footwear! Sure it may still be chilly out but soon it will be time to trade in our Hunter rain boots for a pair of bright new sandals.

Our toes can hardly wait! Pair these fun spring styles with a spunky Grayling Falcon bracelet.

lip service

The gray clouds of winter are really starting to take a toll on our souls here in the Great Northwest so we are loving one of the more fun makeup trends for spring: bright coral colored lips. This trend is sure to brighten up your smile along with the mood of everyone around you.
