Indulge Me

So, the move is over.  Thank God!  I didn't get to the spa this weekend, but rescheduled for next weekend instead.  We are officially out of the lovely (new construction) condo, and fully moved into our wonderfully OLD house.  I will miss that beautifully new kitchen...  but, I am trading it for pocket doors, creaky floors, and a huge backyard.

Before I dig myself out from the cardboard (that is taking over every square foot of the first floor!), I did some JCrew shopping.  Thanks to a wonderful gift card credit (thanks, Mom!), I bought myself some new clothes, and this beauty!  Perfect for flea market shopping this Spring (which can't come soon enough!)...

P.S.  I must redeem the folks at Verizon.  On Tuesday, a very nice Indian boy magically fixed everything, and now I clearly have an internet connection!  He seriously had super powers.  So, I sort of feel badly for bashing them earlier.  But, not that bad.  My sweet Indian boyfriend was a diamond in the rough, I think.

Yellow Citrine

I am loving the punchy colors this spring: aqua, grapefruit, lemon, and lime. The color combination is cool and refreshing-- like adding just the right amount of "Palm Beach" to your room. It's different, and a bit of a departure from the bold peacock blues, and eggplant purples that we've seen so much of lately (wait, I still love you "Hot House Flowers!"). Palmer Weiss is no stranger to this color scheme. I love how this designer mixes traditional neutral pieces with bright pops of yellow citrine! The whole room feels fresher, doesn't it?

I went through my files and found even more inspiring rooms with this fabulous color scheme...

J.Crew is also pushing this trend for Spring. Cashmere sweaters in every sherbert color you could imagine.

Even for Bridesmaids! Wow. That's bright.

Sorry, this girl has nothing to do with this post, I just wish I were her (and that I could pull off that outfit).
