Spring Fling
Hello there friends.
It snowed last night AGAIN. It's still cold today.
It's still grey, but there are a few signs of spring that are keeping me going until spring finally appears.
1- Bulbs poking their heads out of the ground in the StyleBurbia garden (which are now covered with snow).
I'm especially excited about the daffodils that Hayden and I planted this fall.
2- A little vacation we have planned to a warm destination that will help bridge the gap to spring.
3- There's just something about this time of year that makes you feel like you can start anew and reinvent yourself. I'm thinking maybe new hair cut and color and wearing a bit more makeup to give myself a new look.
4- Spring trends in fashion and home decor.
Here are some of the trends that I'm loving:

Not feeling the mint?
Pastels are also really big now, so if mint is not your thing trade it in for a lavender or a pretty pale yellow or pink.
