Spring Trends Guide 2013: Sweatshirts, Neons and Lace

I'm not looking forward to the time springing ahead (I love all my hours of sleep). But I am excited for Spring...although it seems it will never be here in NYC! We supposedly have some major snow storm on the way and I am not in the least impressed with mother nature at the moment. anywho a girl can dream right? So I'm bringing you another Spring Trends post...you can check out the first of the series HERE.

So for now we are going to cover: Sweatshirts (yes...they are still making a comeback), neons (more solid color only neons), and of course nothing says spring like a little lace!

 GET THE LOOK

when I saw this neon orange sweatshirt at Zara I immediately bought it even though orange isn't really in my forte of favorite colors. I loved the brightness and how cozy it is. It's a great stand out peice and something about it screams Kenzo Paris to me. I paired it with this amazing lace flouncy skirt (yes flounce is in for Spring) from Lulus.com and neutral accessories. You can always tone down a loud outfit with a nude shoe! Trust me people are gonna rock the sweatshirt trend right up until summer.

forever young

about 3 years ago i would hit up Forever 21 for just about everything.

they are always trendy.

I even worked there while in graduate school. Needless to say their "BlackOut"

policy of not taking days off during the holiday season forced me to quit.

I have kind of outgrown Forever 21 but every now and again I pop in for some basics

such as this shirt I wear religiously or these awesome little brogues.

This bright maxi really caught my eye so I guess even at 27...I can still be Forever Young!

Jacket: Dallin Chase | Hat: Top Shop | Boots: Dolce Vita |

Dress: Forever 21

Sure its hella bright but neons are in and spring in just around the corner!

Check out my favorite vintage neon dress. Also I am planning a trip to Barcelona and looking for

shopping and places to eat tips. If you know of any cool places drop me a comment!
