Pastels + Giveaway

TGIF, right? Yesterday I cleaned the house and ran to a couple of shops in town. I'm giddy with delight that I am one person shy of 400 followers! I cannot tell you how much it overwhelms me that so many people actually like reading what I have to say each day. I truly take to heart each of your comments and want you to know how much each and every one of you mean to me. My smell-good supply was running a little low, so I picked up a little something sweet.

And a set for you, too! It includes one Kate Spade Twirl body wash and one Kate Spade Twirl shower gel. I figured each of us can never have too many girly products.

The giveaway will close next Friday, April 29th at 11:59 pm. Leave one comment for all of your entries.

1. For one entry: You must be a follower though GCF. 

2. For two extra entries: Tell me what you enjoy most about reading Sweet Tea and Stilettos.

3. For three extra entries blog about this giveaway. (Sorry I don't have a fancy button to grab--it's on the list of improvements.)

One of my favorite things about spring are all of the lovely colors that blossom into being. Babies are born, grass grows and life is renewed again. The beauties of our world morph into all forms, but I love the feeling I get when I see the baby blue sky or a vase full of light flowers in very subtle hues. Pastels outshine brights in my book any day. This week's Friday's Fancies is all about the pastels. It strikes me as funny that brights and neons are in style, yet so are pale pastels. Thanks to sweet AV for hosting this fun link-up each week!

Surprise, surprise, but Tibi has produced some of my favorite pastel pieces this spring. The Man Repeller totally rocks this look, don't you think? {If only I had her closet.}

I'm dreaming of sitting at a cozy table overlooking the ocean, with lights twinkling along the pier and soft music playing in the background. The waves rock back and forth against the sand as I sip on a glass of crisp white wine. Simplicity is key, but just because an outfit is simple doesn't mean that it can't look effortlessly chic. Shall we dance?

Did you know that it is not officially spring until March 20th? (Em, I think this means that you are technically a winter baby.) Oh my goodness, but this past winter has been so warm that I am already spoiled by the warm weather we have been having...all.winter.long. Seriously, I think we have had only two really cold spells. Last week one day there was snow on the ground, and two days later I was outside running in shorts. Insane.

 

Yes, I posted yesterday about all of the brightly colored jeans that we are seeing everywhere. As popular as brights are, pastels are equally as popular. As long as you're seeing color, it's definitely "in" right now. I have not participated in Semi-Wordless Wednesday in a while, thus I'm posting lovely pictures today.

Everything about this outfit makes me giddy with delight anticipating the upcoming season. Come on, spring!
