This whimsical tableware will likely become a cherished holiday heirloom.

PASTELS WITH POP Gypsy Rose Boutique predicts that PASTELS will be present all spring and summer. Sunshine and daffodil yellows, lilac and lavender, and fuchsia and blush are fiercely feminine hues that will make everyday wear pop this spring.

Rebels’ Midtown Boutique

➸ This spring, feminine and masculine merge and business meets casual. This trend is seen in boxy blazers, pleated shorts, big belts and bold buttons paired with crop tops, dainty jewelry, and light and cool colors. This dusty lavender BOYFRIEND BLAZER paired with matching PLEATED SHORTS and cream CROP BRAMI is a look that is becoming a springtime staple. It possesses the power of a suit with the fun, flirty feeling that spring always brings about.

The Hare & The Hart

➸ If you’re looking to revive your favorite furniture, consider a fresh coat of paint. FUSION MINERAL PAINT is a professional paint for the everyday DIYer and is applicable to furniture, floors, front doors and more. With exceptional ease of application, minimal prep, zero VOC (non-toxic) formulation, high hiding coverage and a built-in topcoat, it’s easy to add a pop of color to any project. The paints are available in over 50 stunning shades at The Hare & The Hart’s store and online.

➸ Jewelry is one of the best wardrobe investments, especially when it tells a story. ASHLEY OGDEN OF SHORELINE ANGEL creates beautiful artisan jewelry handcrafted from sea glass and pottery that she collects from the east coast of Scotland and England. Each piece is one of a kind with its own story likely dating back hundreds of years. Whether they were once part of a Victorian dining experience or a bottle of fine perfume, each piece has been transformed into an exclusive work of wearable art.

➸ Invest in the skin you’re in with products that are proven to withstand the test of time. SAVON DE MARSEILLE FRENCH SOAP has been trusted for generations to cleanse everything from linens to little faces. Its purity and moisturizing properties make it ideal for all skin types. Dermatologists especially recommend it for use on dry skin. Savon de Marseille has been made the same way since 1688 and is stamped with its weight in grams — a practice left over from years ago which allowed households to compare prices and plan their inventories. Savon de Marseille is biodegradable, requires little packaging and its manufacturer is environmentally friendly.
