I am home in Columbus for a week to celebrate Easter and spend time with my family. It is raining here and the day is pretty gloomy. Luckily I have my cute yellow raincoat from Barbour to wear. It makes any cloudy, rainy day much brighter and happier.
It’s hard to believe Easter is next week when there is a snowstorm currently happening in New York. Nevertheless a little cold weather will not stop me from wearing a spring dress on Easter day. It’s the first of the season to wear florals and pastel colored dresses.

When I was little I refused to wear pants. Let me rephrase that… I wore leggings as pants but nothing else. Jeans were my worst enemy as they were not comfortable at all. Stiff as a board. If I had to wear jeans it was a battle with my mom that I ultimately lost. I only wanted to wear dresses. I loved the freedom and comfort of dresses. It didn’t matter if it were a casual or my Sunday best, I was in love with wearing dresses.
A few weeks ago while I was doing a style photoshoot my photographer Lauren mentioned that I was the first client of hers to pull out a basket bag. What can I say? I am over winter and ready for spring! Basket bags are a summer and spring staple piece. A bag that you can never have too many of. I remember as a kid loving to play with both of my grandmother’s basket bags. Cute clutches and top handles my one grandmother would take as she summered in Florida for the winter season. My other grandmother had a particular bag that would make a chirping noise when she walked. She told my sister and me that there was a baby bird in her purse but we weren’t allowed to see it because the little birdie was always sleeping. Obviously now I understand it was just the handle making noise, but as a 4 year old my grandmother was like Snow White to me.
