ENTER THE GROMMET DRESS. MY TRADITIONAL SILK TWILL DRESS GETS A FUTURISTIC UPDATE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLACEMENT OF GROMMETS AND SHEER PANELS. BLUE METALLIC LEATHER ADDS LUSTER AND CONTINUES THE THEME. COLOR BLOCKED BOOTIES ADD PUNCH AND DEFINITION.
And just like that I am ready to go out and enjoy Spring! I am wearing:
- Grommet dress by Babylon Collecton, purchased In Manhattan, Upper East at Foxes.
- Metallic Blue Bag BY KENZO bought at Encore, also Upper East.
- Color Blocked booties were my sister’s and are leather. I think Louboutin?
- Faux flowers via Extraordinary- East 57th St. in Manhattan.
Outgoing! I have been indoors way too much, and am thrilled to go outdoors. Finally Spring has arrived; ushered in with a brisk North wind, just the kind to toss the tulips in their beds, and make the clouds appear like they are time lapsed. Still, SPRING IS HERE!
THE TULIPS, IN FULL STOP-CRIMSON RED, BOW IN THE WIND.
Well, I am almost out. I thought the luggage cart would be a fun prop for this post feature, so I am in the entrance to the garage of my co-op. The light is not optimal, but I had fun with this location. The flower-filled metallic shopper is shown to full advantage!
Nothing fancy with this backdrop, but the industrial vibe harmonizes well with the hardware on my grommet dress.
Inside the details are displayed!
Once I do mange to get outside, I spy a cozy spot in the sun to sit and check my phone for messages. Then I listen to my audiobook. I am finishing up an intense book called The Wife, I recommend it. Then it is dinner out with hubby at a nearby bistro.
Like you I am sure, I am so thrilled to go out and enjoy this long overdue weather. Embellished sunglasses, seen here, have me ready for the sun, as does a healthy dose of SPF.

YOU KNOW HOW! XOXO, ELLE
It was glorious here today, too, Elle, and we took advantage of it by taking a walking and sitting on a park bench for awhile. The sun and weather certainly can lift the spirits, can’t it?
The grommets really do add such interest to this dress!! It’s like a print without the print!!
XOXO

I was worried spring wasn’t going to show up at all this year. What a difference the weather makes to one’s spirit.
I love the little still life you created with the bag and accessories and the flowers in the boots. Very cute.

I do love that chain of stores. I especially like that their handbags are inexpensive, well designed and made in Europe as opposed to China. I have found some really beautiful things there. It’s very convenient for me as well. I am glad that you shop there also.
