Hello-Hello, and happy new week to you.
In an effort to cease my relentless whining occasional mention (cough-cough) of the ever-so-nasty winter weather, I thought a look at some spring styles might perk up the day. We begin with J. Crew.
Below, spring colors for the label’s mainstay Jackie Cardigan ($65).
There are also spring colors for the Merino Tippi cardigan ($85),
J. Crew is carrying one of our favorite brands, Saint James, home of the original Breton Stripe shirt. Below we show the Unisex Meridien II Nautical Tee ($85).
Two shoes that will work well in warmer temps, the Emma Crackled Metallic Ballet Flats ($148) and Lucie Printed Slingback Flat ($248).
Also in spring footwear, the D’Orsay T-Strap available for pre-ordering ($228), as well as the Darby Eyelet (in the center) and D’Orsay T-Strap again, this time in black.
Next, some Pretty in Pink accessories (left to right): the Heart Trouser Socks ($12.50), Suede Bow Loafers ($275) and Bandana Print Scarf ($55).
Brighter, sunnier pieces are also arriving at LL Bean. Below we show styles for the younger set; prices for the individual pieces run from $16.95 to $34.95 ieces run
A closer look at the Vacationland Shirt ($26.95 ) and Knit Skort ($24.95).
We don’t want to forget your young MOTH (Man of the House), Bean has plenty of warm weather looks for them.
What I saw in the LL Bean Women’s Spring Looks thus far didn’t really wow me.
Despite the fact Bean offers more subdued styles, they always have things with a little more pizzazz come summer. No doubt they will have fresher looks in a few weeks. In the meantime, let’s go graze at Lands’ End, shall we?
A few looks, from left to right: the Fit and Flare dress ($55); a Short Sleeve Pique Polo shirt ($35), the Short Sleeve Print Pique Polo ($29) and the Coastal Raincoat ($109).
There are also some springy personalized Personalized Totes for the kids.
The Sarah Tucker Styles blog is showcasing some of the Lilly Pulitzer spring 2014 pieces.
Three more styles.
A quick peek at a pieces on the Lilly Pulitzer website.
More Pretty in Pink styles at Lilly: the Ana Sweater ($148), Charlton Sheath dress ($278 ), Coraline Dress in Chic Pink Goldie Hearts ($58) for your Young Lady, and the York Fit and Flare in Pop Pink Barnard Boucle ($278).

We leave you with a tidbit for anyone in central Vermont: Saturday the North County Animal League is hosting “Menagerie Goes Preppy,” the shelter’s annual fundraiser.
From the League’s website:
Don your khakis, pearls and plaid at a perfectly preppy evening in support of the animals….costumes or creative dress is always encouraged but never required.
G’bye until next time!
