Shop early spring

I don’t know what it is about this winter that just makes me so tired of it. It’s not like it’s been an horribly cold one, but it just feels like an endless one. Maybe because I can’t wear any cute clothes because as you know I am preggers. But I can’t help but start shopping for spring already, which makes me feel I have something to look forward to after the baby comes. Luckily I shed baby weight relatively easily and fast, based on the experience I had the first time. What I’m loving for this spring is all the bright saturated colors I’m seeing, whether it being shoes, dresses, separates, or accessories. Really love it.

Oh so pretty

Amore & Sorvete Bella Bikini $170. I know I’m in no shape to wear a bikini at this point. But I just love looking at pretty swimwear lately. Amore & Sorvete Bella Bikini is so unbelievably pretty and feminine. How come nobody thought of putting a ruffle overlay on a bikini top before? It’s so unique! Still sexy, but totally girly.

Neon is what the winter needs!

This winter has been pretty miserable for me. I’ve been plagued by one cold after another for 3 months now. And I can’t take any cold drugs because I’m pregnant with baby #2 (hence no outfit posts for a long time). I’m pretty much in a funk fashion wise. I’ve just been living in roomy sweater dresses. Not that I’ve stopped shopping, I just can’t wear any of the stuff I recently bought. I can’t wait till the baby pops out in June. So anyway, neon colors are such a big trend this year, and I especially love it that it’s popping up everywhere in the winter as opposed to warmer weather, which totally helps with brightening one’s gloomy wintery day. This is exactly what I need. Both colors are gorgeous. I think the forgiving shape can carry me through the next few months.

Gap Bright Ponte Blazer

Gap Bright Ponte Blazer $79.95. It’s good to see some bright colored stuff form Gap. There are some really cute jackets, sweaters, tops in very vibrant and sprint-like colors. Among them, I especially like these blazers. Rather having a neutral-colored blazer to tone an outfit down, why not let a bright one be the star of the output? It’s much more relaxed and fun.

SEPHORA by OPI Jewelry Top Coats

Loving SEPHORA by OPI Jewelry Top Coats ($9.50). It’s a brilliant finishing touch that acts like jewelry for your nails. And they are very buildable. You can go from subtle to crazy glam with multiple coats.
