Thinking spring

[jcrew.com]

I always like seeing Jenna's picks for J.Crew. This month's "Jenna's Eye Candy" has a few springy things that I love. [jcrew.com]

Generally speaking, I'm a high-heels girl. I am really digging Oxfords though, and these 'Camden Leather Brouges' are super-cute. They aren't cheap at $250, but I could see wearing them now and when it gets warmer with floral dresses as an unexpected combo. My favorite color is the ginger (also available in nutmeg and black).

The 'Flutter Flower Clutch' is lovely ($128). Both the sheer lilac and brilliant orange are beautiful. The silk and chiffon raw-cut flowers make this a fun and unique evening bag.

Lyons also listed some jewelry, a Timex watch, a satchel, some heels and studded belts in her picks. A former J.Crew designer's, Chris Benz, limited edition lipstick for LancĂ´me called 'Chris & Tell' that is due out in February.

On a random note, while perusing the site, I came across some Globe Trotter luggage. Apparently British royals have carried precious cargo in this luggage. It's gorgeous, sort of Louis Vuitton-esque stuff, and it's expensive. I love the sour lemon color. I've tried having a light color suitcase though, and it didn't work out. My light pink suitcase turned unsightly black from being tossed around baggage claim.

  1. The flower bags are so bright and fun, a perfect reminder of spring!

    I hate that black luggage is so damn sensible, I too have had my lilac luggage stained and scuffed beyond recognition!

  2. UGH, how frustrating! Dark colors are unfortunately the only way to go with luggage :(

  3. Excellent piece of writing and definitely helps with becoming familiar with the subject matter much better.
