twenty days of inspiration

Hey everyone,
It's been 20 day since my last post which is the longest I've gone in quite some time without posting! I have been swamped with midterms, papers, work and spring break. Okay, so spring break I wasn't too busy, but during these past 20 days I have been following all of my favorite blogs and have done plenty of shopping. During spring break I was also able to catch up with an old friend and we both have very similar style, we only wear three colors: black, white and dark green. So I thought that with spring right around the corner it was time to add some color back in my life. Even if it is only a bright pair of shoes, or a floral tank top with a black ensemble. So today I am showing you some of my inspirations for spring...
Love that a green army jacket can be used as a neutral but also as a colorful piece, I just got a jacket similar to this at H&M and now I just need a leopard print scarf, because I love this look (and her hair)!
You know I love the Olsen Twins, and their newest interview in this April's VOGUE is just great! It's so interesting to learn more about their business strategy and about the inner-workings of The Row. If you haven't already, you should definitely check out the interview and the sweet pictures. They are both dressed in clothing from their collection and the soft spring palette is so sweet and I love that they have the same hair style right now.
Everyone loves Marc Jacobs and I love the colors he used for spring. And I can totally do that hair-do to my hair, but I don't know if I have the guts!
I have always loved Chloe Sevigny and with the end of Big Love I am going to miss her as Nicolette and her crazy antics. But I will always look out for her incredible style sense and some upcoming films/shows that she's in. If you haven't seen the short truth or dare you have to see it, she's so hipster and cool, the video just makes her even cooler.
For spring I think it's a neccessity to have a spring inspired bag and I love this white one from Aldo. Not too big, but definitely not too small, it adds a perfect accent of spring to any outfit.
Lately I have been all about the neons, I just bought this shirt from Forever XXI and althought the OMG on the front is slightly corny, I really liked the color and is a fun shirt to hang out in.
Wedges and platforms are all the rage right now and I just got these shoes from Urban outfitters, they are great for a night out or a fun day at the beach. Can't wait to wear them!
I also just got these sweeeeeet heels!! I have just discovered that at 5' 2" I should probably start wearing heels all day every day. So with my 2 new purchases I'll hopefully be towering over a few people on a night out in these shoes! Can't wait.

On my extravagant shopping spree I got a black racer-back maxi dress, a floral print tank top and a blue relaxed button up shirt that I am very excited to wear! Hopefully it'll be nice enough to wear a few things I just got, but with the recent drop in temperature it may have to wait :-(

My last inspiration for spring...
My new perfume, it literally smells like the beach with a side of coconut, it's summer heaven and I plan on wearing it a lot because I am obsessed with the smell. . . so please run to your nearest perfume counter and smell this because I promise you will fall in love with the ridiculously good smell and the sparkly bottle!
