The weather in NYC finally turned warm on Sunday just as I returned from a chilly weekend in Vermont.  That was my second trip to Vermont this winter, as the first was to work with an extremely creative and talented couple to rebuild their wardrobes as they moved into new chapters in their life and work.  Boston proved to be a last minute, but great trip.  I caught up a client who moved from San Francisco and we had such success at the Nordstrom Rack that they said it was their largest item purchase to date, even garnering a tweet from management.  So, though cold in New England, it’s filled with good cheer and warm hearts.

Back in San Francisco in February, I was delighted to see a number of familiar faces where I shopped for seasonal wardrobe updates and created looks ranging from wine-country casual, SF “office”, weddings, gallery openings, bridal showers, vacation trips, 50th birthday parties, and red carpet looks.  I created 186 looks on my last visit and I enjoyed every second of it.  I love when you send me your photos with the looks in live-action.  Keep them coming!

Back in New York, I ran into a few designers I know from SF at the CAPSULE tradeshow that day.  It is wonderful to see the San Francisco talent growing.

Look for these Spring trends to see which resonate with your personal style.  Continue the work we have begun and make sure it is you, as your best wardrobe is the current representation of your personality, preferences, and lifestyle.  After sending my winter coats to be cleaned today, all I know is that I can’t wait to wear a new navy linen one-piece with wide, cropped legs. Trendy, maybe.  But me, definitely.
