Spring Necessities

You will never believe it but the polar vortex has returned to Chicago giving all the freezing children the second double snow day of the year. Sure, Chicago winters are pretty rough but they haven't been this bad in years. This terrible weather has me yearning for the spring days to come (Anything above 40 degrees is what I'll consider spring.) And coincidentally the spring catalogue from Vineyard Vines arrived in the mail only fueling my want for spring with all their pretty shorts, skirts, dresses, etc. So here's some of my must haves from Vineyard Vine's spring collection.

(The shorts are my fav. What do you think?) 

And here's some of my favorite pieces from the Lilly Spring collection.

 

(It was so hard to choose what I most wanted from Lilly. Their clothes look very promising this season. But then again, when don't they?) 

And my list can only grow from there. The only thing keeping me sane in this weather is planning out my spring and summer. It's going to be the best one yet. But for now, I still have to get through this painfully cold weather. I'm a summer baby (born in June), the warm weather is where I thrive. Pray for me.

                         Stay sassy,

                                  Deirdre

Livin the Lilly Life

Its time to live up to my URL and post something about Lilly Pulitzer. I'm so glad my purchurse (Sadly no plural this time) from Lilly's New Year Cheer sale has arrived. I bought the Kyra dress in the bright navy Pom Pom print. I loved this dress because it's so comfortable but appropriate for almost every occasion. I styled the dress with my own pearl necklace and earrings.

 Pearls on everything

Lillly can make any day a summer day

                                          

So in conclusion, all hail Queen Lilly.
