I came across a fun blogger contest recently and just for kicks, decided to put together some style boards featuring the bags they’re showcasing. I’m definitely excited about spring because after months of the long gloomy winter, it’s a joy to start seeing less grey, longer days and green leaves starting to unfurl. I’d say that spring is my favorite season but I always think it is way too short. I can tell you that for me, spring time in New York isn’t all warm and sunny all the time (I emphasize again: FOR ME) – but the weather is generally comfortable enough to be outdoors, enjoying a picnic lunch on a park bench somewhere or sipping a hot cup of tea at a sidewalk cafe. For me, spring is still cardigan and/or light jacket weather, because the temperature feels like a giant air-conditioned room. This is the season when we see less black and more bright cheery colors, inspired by nature. Let’s also not forget the spring showers, during which I often end up wet and cold (not a good combination). All those pretty flowers and shrubs need lots of water in order to burst in bloom after all. Speaking of flowers, the style boards which I put together below are inspired by spring blooms. I may not be well-versed when it comes to bags, but I sure do know my blooms. ^^
