Land’s End Canvas – Hooray!

Dear Land’s End, What happened?  You used to be so… well, frumpy!  And now you’ve gone and done it by launching Canvas!  You’re modern, you’re cool… dare I say, hip?  Things have certainly changed… (image via Lucky) OK, so I know, I’m a bit of a snob.

Spring Fashion Cravings… Part Deux

Shopping, (even window shopping) for Spring clothes, just makes me happy.  The bright colors, the lightweight fabrics, and oh… the shoes!!!  See below for some of the items I’m loving for Spring.  A wish-list, so to speak.  (And let the countdown to open-toed shoes begin!) 1.  Forever 21 Lace Pintucked Tunic.  2.  Forever 21 Silk Pintucked Dress.  3.  Gap Nautical Hoodie Tunic.  4.  Topshop Cashmere/Modal blend boyfriend T.  5.  Keep Calm and Carry on T.  6.  CC Skye “Mini-Spike” Gold Bracelet  7.  Gap Floral Twist Sandals.  8.  Topshop Navy & White “Stripey Dress”.  9.  Tracy Reese “Belle” Sandals in Passion Fruit  The bottom line:  Lots and lots of stripes… lots and lots of navy and nude/blush tones…  and fun, bright sandals & accessories to wear with all the pieces we already have.  Just add a pair of white jeans, some cut-offs, and a few basic cardigans to this mix and you are set for Spring.
