March Madness; Craving Neautrals for Spring/Summer 2013!

Alright, so it's FINALLY happening.  The snow has begun it's melting process.  The sun has started to break out of its shell and show us some dang confidence.  Spring is coming!  As much as I loved hibernating in my dark --heavy-- clothes, I too, like the sun, am ready to break out and shed some light!  I am INCREDIBLY excited for Spring 2013!  Now, I'm no seasoned fashionista, or runway now-it-all.  All I know is, I'm ready to wear some light airy colours and fabrics.  Enjoy my style collages!  I hope they inspire you, too <3.

Spring Neutrals by thelittledandy featuring white tops

All of the above tops are absolutely ADOOOORABLE!  I'm going to have to hunt own the likeness of each and every one!  Can't wait to pair tops like these with light denim skinnies, or faux leather-ish leggings.  I'm also hoping to get some sort of beige/khaki skinny pant (hopefully a pair that won't make me look naked on my bottom half HAHA!).

Spring Bottoms by thelittledandy featuring skinny leg jeans

This year I'd like to invest more time and money into hunting down the PERFECT pair of thrifted denim to turn into the PERFECT pair of high waisted shorts.  Rest assured, this will be documented on the blog =).

Spring Frocks by thelittledandy featuring a sleeveless dress

As boyish as I am, I can't help but feel my heart go a'flutter when I see a pretty dress.  Where would I even go in a dress?  Who cares.  Love all these!  

Spring Shoes by thelittledandy featuring h&m

I need to find the perfect pairs of nude pumps and nude flats.  Good pairs this time; pairs that will last me a lifetime =).

Spring 'It' Bag by thelittledandy featuring nude clutches

Lately, I've been obsessing over LIGHT coloured bags, and clutches.  Lusting over them, actually.  I've been trading on Little Black Bag obsessively to have my fill!  I've already got the perfect pink studded clutch, and a cute pale bag on the way.  I can't wait!

I've also been feeling very inspired by Ella Fitzgerald lately.  Did she wear a lot of neutrals and pastels?  I, for some reason, feel like she did.  Anyway, I'll just leave you with this...

Who else is excited for Spring??

Peggy Bundy, You've Inspired Me

*Note the different frame border I used!  I'm gonna get to this!

Today I was having a bit of a Peggy Bundy kind of day!

• Denim button up - the Boyfriend's <3
• Leopard print cami - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $5CAD)
• Winter leggings in Black - American Apparel
• Black flats - American Apparel
• Black & gold belt - Vintage (used to be my mom's...probably from when she was channeling Peggy Bundy...but for real. Haha.)
• Red leather wallet - Vintage Jordache (used to be my mom's)

I loved wearing this outfit today.  It felt fun, but also super relaxed (this could've had something to do with the fact that I slept in those tights...hmm).  I didn't actually wear the flats outside though.  It's still a little too cold for that in Canada-land.  Boohoo.

Anyway, have ya'll been able to tell that I keep messing around with how this blog looks??  I'm starting to feel like posting my pictures with the round-edged corners is starting to look a bit messy...hmm.  For this reason, I posted the first picture with solid straight edges.  What do you think?  Let me know!

IN OTHER NEWS:

Look what finally came in the mail for me today!!

It's a cheap (but terribly cute!!) copy of the YSL Arty Ring.  The most blogged about ring of the past year.  Now, I am totally...TOTALLY against buying fakes and replicas, but I wanted the ring so so badly, and I love the shape and design so much!  These retail for about $300CAD on the YSL website, and I just can't afford that right now.  So, in short, I gave in to searching for a replica online, and my wonderful boyfriend ordered it for me =).  This ring only cost him $13AUD plus $10AUD shipping (around $25CAD).  I love it so much!  The colour is perfect, and it suits my skin tone perfectly!  I don't feel so bad because YSL doesn't actually make the ring in this colour (it's actually a more lighter pink than it seems like in this picture).  HOWEVER!  I promise -- I promise so hard that I will buy the real YSL Arty Ring as soon as I can afford to!  In a dark green mayhaps... 

Check out the real YSL Arty Rings here.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!
