It’s Spring guys! Yay! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, temperatures are rising, slowly, but they are, more skin is showing, and Misha loves every bit of it - except the dreaded bouts with allergies. Ugh. But with my roots embedded deeply in the Caribbean, it’s no wonder I get excited and happy when warm weather comes around.
With my love for warm weather comes my infatuation with a few spring trends and items that become staples in my closet. Check out what this Fab Chick has been going crazy over this season.

Already a lover of jeans, I’m loving all of the lighter washes for Spring. I’m also fond of the distressed treatments that have been popularly used; great elements to add to your look for a bit of an edgier appearance. We all could use a bit of a tough girl edge every now and then.
When it comes to chambray shirts, I just can’t get enough. I’ve purchased quite a few this season thus far and I've been living in them.
Here are a few denim and chambray items I love:

My favorite piece this season is my utility jacket purchased at The Gap. I mostly pair my jacket with jeans or a feminine dress for a nice contrast to the hard edginess of the military style and color.
Here are a few utilitarian inspired items I love:

I love a super comfy tee shirt that can be pulled together with a variety of looks. For instance, under a chic jacket for a bit of a polished take or with a feminine flirty mini for a girlie approach. The tee is definitely a staple in my closet for spring.
Many designers have created sub-divisions under their brands like T by Alexander Wang, and Oonagh by Nanette Lepore offering great lux t-shirt styles. And of course there’s the ever so popular American Apparel, which is the go-to for many when it comes to purchasing tees.
This season we’re seeing them in the very trendy stripes as well for a bit of a nautical take.
The key for me is to always pump up my look with a sleek blazer/jacket with bold accessories for that cool downtown chick look.
Here are a few tees’ I’m in love with:

I'm definitely feeling the bandage minis and print dresses also. I would have to add rompers/jumpsuits to my list to make it complete. Great post.
