Happy St. Patty's day everyone! I wish I could say that my Monday is going well so far, but I woke up sick with a cold. Not exactly in the festive Irish mood I should be in. However, I had a wonderful weekend so I can't really complain. The weather was still insanely perfect, I spent time with my best girl, and the hubs and I went for another Sunday hike with a couple friends we haven't seen in awhile. As Summer draws closer, weekends will start to feel shorter and shorter. They are never long enough! 

I'm linking up today with Carylee and Gina! Have a great day, and don't get pinched ;)

Here is a look featuring my new Kate Spade bag from yesterday's post. The weather has been unbelievably perfect here the last few days, and Spring is definitely in the air. I stepped outside our front door and instead of the usual dry plants hanging lifeless by the step, a few flowers are beginning to bloom. This time of year is the best, isn't it? Aside from the beginning of Fall, when that crisp feeling is in the air, I just love the start of Spring. There's a certain clean slate feeling about it, the promise of long balmy nights and BBQ's with friends. Not to mention a candy colored handbag and a floral scarf.

Linking up with Tara at Mix and Match Fashion today.

The instant I saw this gorgeous pastel-hued bag on Pinterest, I added it to my Spring board. I immediately had a bad case of "grabby hands" as Chloe would say. My heart has been set on a mint or blush toned bag for this season, but with so many beautiful brands and options out there, how does a girl choose? I'm convinced that Kate Spade knows pretty. Her designs are feminine and whimsical. There's a certain charm about them, and it translates perfectly into what I've been wanting for my next bag. With my "buy less, choose well" motto in mind, I didn't feel an ounce of guilt about this one. I do own a cream quilted KS already, and I've loved it to death. The quality is superior, the design right on target between classic and modern. This bag, with all of its Tiffany blue goodness, is no exception. The color is just breathtaking! The removable strap is an added bonus, although I plan on carrying it without. I like to keep my handbags where I can see them, right on the crook of my elbow :) All I need now is a light floral dress, and I'm (fashion) ready for Spring.
