Mexico + Spring = Le Sigh


"I remember, Panama Jack laying back, tape deck, Ray Bans and good friends..."

I've got the spring itch, gang. Got it and got it bad. It was biting cold here yesterday which left me wondering if Mr. Groundhog really knew what he was talking about last week. I came across this breathtaking Mexican-inspired photo shoot  featuring Alina Baikova for the March 2011 issue of Vogue Australia. Sporting the latest fashions from Prada, Mulberry and Gucci, Miss Alina prancing around Mexico has me aching for spring break. Like in college? Yes, maybe. I'm desperate, people!

These beautiful, bright frocks also inspired me to do a little spring (virtual) shopping. Some pieces that must find their way to my closet come March....

What's on your spring wish list?! Besides a mojito and a Mexican getaway, of course!

Happy Wednesday, loves! We're halfway to the weekend!

What an amazing photo shoot! So vibrant! I am actually desperate for the warm weather to come in. It has been bitterly cold here. That floppy hat is a must have for the beach. I have to find one for me and for my daughter for this summer. SUMMER please come soon! Have a great day! xxoo

Beautiful post-makes me want to have summer right NOW! I am already dreaming of the warmth, the sun, some sand and a fruity cocktail. Much better than my real world today-it is starting to sleet and then is supposed to turn to snow. I think I'll get back to my summer dream.

XOXO,
Hannah

Oh my--the color! The bare legs! The sandals! Fingers crossed that it'll be warm and sunny before we know it. I am aching to put my tights and boots away soon. :)

Pink Champagne said...

What an explosion of color that just screams Spring! (And yes, makes me crave a Mexican vacay too... although the model looks slighly more chic and sophisticated than I did on my college spring break... tee hee). Dreaming of warmer climates and bright frocks along with you, girlfriend! XO
