Summer is all about color and lots of it!
The sun is shining, flowers are bright and blooming, and everyone is ready to ditch those winter greys for something a little brighter.
You can apply the color spectrum to almost anywhere: Calypso St. Barth has a fabulous gradient pillow to brighten up your sofa; Missoni's signature zig-zag knits get a multi-colored update; hey, you can even paint your house in all the colors of the rainbow in the style of the Saguaro Hotel in Palm Springs (the 14 colors featured in the hotel are inspired by the colors of the many desert flowers; also, request a room in your favorite hue! I picked pink!)
So go ahead, add some color to your life and spice it up! Summer is the time to go wild with color!
Guess who's going to college! THIS GIRL!
And maybe because I've got university on the brain I turn to a coveted collegiate tradition: Spring Break. Of course high schools have breaks in the springtime as well, but there seems to be something almost magical about having to take a break from college, which seems so otherworldly and sophisticated right now, but I know is basically just like high school with new people (or not, if I end up going to UCSB, because that is like my high school 2.0)
Well, whatever age you are, whatever you are taking a springtime break from, let's celebrate with some fabulous vacation wardrobes full of sunshine-ready clothes! I've got Palm Springs on the brain for two reasons: Indian Wells Tennis Tournament and Coachella. I wanted to go to both and can go to neither, so I will live vicariously through these two metaphorical suitcase checklists. The first one is everything preppy I would wear to a tennis tournament, and the second is my dream Coachella getup, because you know, the things you wear to Coachella are infinitely more important than the acts you see. (LOL JK)

You can always count on Kate Spade for a healthy dose of bold colors and kitschy cute accessories. The brand's theme of the month seems to be tennis (just in time for the Indian Wells tennis tournament nearby!) and as a vaguely avid tennis enthusiast, I absolutely adore the tennis court greens and actual tennis accessories! Count on these bags being very popular in Palm Springs as the tournament heats up.
