Thinking Pink

Spring had FINALLY sprung in the District! I spent the latter half of yesterday afternoon reorganizing my closet and finding a treasure trove of PINK!

Thanks to Kate Spade (mostly) for being a continuing source of inspiration.  I suddenly have the urge to go home and start combining every bright think in my closet in an effort to recreate some of the looks from her Spring 2011 collection. From darling pink cardigans to a lady like day bag, you can't go wrong with pink (it brings out the Cherry Blossoms.)

Below are some pieces from Kate Spade and elsewhere that I'm coveting this spring...

On Reality

Uncharted by Sara Bareilles

Happy Monday! Start this day off right with the always adorable Sara Bareilles. I caught this video on Saturday night while getting ready for the Corcoran's Artini event. I was with my college roommates, Sarah and Natalie, and it was sort of like old times.

In college we used to watch music videos like it was our job. This is definitely one of those that we would have been obsessed with and we would have watched it dozens of times.

While we were walking to the Corcoran, we passed a bar that was blaring another one of our college favorites - Mr. Brightside by the Killers. Sigh, sometimes I miss college.

Happy April Fools Day

-Prior to 1582, the new year began on April 1. When the new year was moved to Jan. 1 in 1582, there were some people who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. These "April fools" were often ridiculed by being sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

-There's something fishy going on in France. Kids fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their backs. When the victim discovers the fish, the prankster yells "Poisson d'Avril!" (April Fish!)

-In Portugal, April Fools' Day is actually celebrated on the Sunday and Monday before Lent.  The big trick there? Throwing flour at your friend's face.

On Sunshine

The Hangover

In a not so distant past, I was a party rockstar.  I attended the number two party school in the country and really did my part to maintain that ranking.  In lieu of a proper U.S. News and World Report ranking, I felt it was only fair that we excel at something.

So, for four years I build a tolerance that would likely see me place if this were an Olympic Sport.  I’m sure I would have some problems with the Russian judge as Vodka seemed to be my weak link, but I would definitely bring home Bronze.
