Get After It

It's the week end wrap up. I hope everyone had a good one and that you have fun, festive and happy plans for Easter. This year I'm not feeling the overrated Easter Sunday digs and fancy pants (read, obnoxious) hats -- so I'm going casual. You should try it. Inspired by a cute C&C shirt I saw on a bestie last week, I'm pulling out some shorts and a colorful plaid button down. Pair it with any low slung bottom piece that suits the weather in your area, some booties, sandals or flops, and you're good to go. Here's some inspiration to get you thinking. I'm off to dye eggs and get after some Easter basket loot like the old days. Have a great weekend. Xxx.

Happy Easter Bunny

Eggs are dyed, baskets are by the door, and the Easter bunny's on his way. More importantly, ahemm, what's in your closet for tomorrow's big hunt? Hopefully something colorful, festive and fabulous like my two favorite looks from Peter Som's Spring 2011 Ready to Wear collection. Happy Easter Bunny!

The Fashion Bunny

One of my all time favorite books as a child was a beautiful Easter one brought out only at this time of year. The Country Bunny. This year I am passing along the tradition to my niece and nephew with their very own copies. I hope they’ll come to love the sweet story of Little Cottontail as much as I did and still do. Her tale is one of a dream of being one of the five great Easter Bunnies. But when she grows up and has twenty one little bunnies of her own, the dream seems unlikely to come true. Even though Grandfather Bunny searches for a replacement Easter Bunny, he decides that Cottontail is just right for the job, and gives her the most difficult journey of all – one that requires her to be wise, kind, swift, and very, very brave. You’ll have to read the book if you don’t know how the journey ends. But I’ll give you one hint, Little Cottontail is not only the Country Bunny, she is the Fashion Bunny too.

Suitable For Sunday

With Easter just a hippiti-hop around the bin, you’ve probably started thinking about your festive frock. Well don’t overcomplicate matters; I think anything with color will be suitable for Sunday. Just like a pretty Easter egg. I’m feeling inspired by this old school Lanvin tiered, washed silk dress. Loving the richness and unique expression of the indigo hue. It’s making me want to dye eggs. Note to self -- buy a PAAS kit. (Vogue)

LC Shop-It Reco: Tracy Reese has some beautiful dresses in her Spring collection right now -- these two happen to fall in the blue family. The Indigo Patched Frock and the Blue Shadow Dots Draped Frock. Either will go perfectly with your Easter basket.
