Recently, people just kept throwing out the term, “spring break” and not in reference to the questionable Disney Channel graduates’ movie.  While, spring break doesn’t mean much to me anymore, I did partake in several years of beachside debauchery without ever returning home with a tramp stamp or body piercing.  I don’t know about you, but I call that success.   Despite your stance on spring break, one must realize it is kind of a rite of passage wherein young people discover spring flings, alcohol by the yard, and the importance of chlorine in public swimming pools.  So whether spring break is just a distant memory or something you still have yet to indulge in, get yourself in the mood with bright bikinis, shiny sunglasses, and shady headwear.

Punxsutawney Phil may be getting sued, but technically speaking, spring is upon us.  And speaking of groundhogs, one trend for spring that is making a repeat appearance is pastel.  Everything from shoes to shades to even hair is taking on the hues of your favorite summer sunset or bag of Sweet Tarts… whichever you prefer (but really, why choose?).  So get your girly girl on by stepping into spring’s sweetest trend, but remember, just like downing that entire bag of Sweet Tarts, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.  Except for sunsets.  There can never be enough sunsets.

When I strolled the streets of my neighborhood this past weekend, I couldn’t help but stifle back a giggle at all of the overzealous restaurant patrons who took full advantage of the thermometer reaching right above 50 degrees and decided to celebrate by gorging themselves on pancakes and mimosas al fresco.  Now, I get it.  We are all beyond antsy for spring to arrive, but perhaps rather than risk a relapse of the flu (like me),  we can get ourselves into the spring spirit by decking ourselves out in spring blooms.  Let’s consider it our own little version of an April showers rain dance.  Because we all know that after April, May brings all the flowers.

The best way to get through the next two months of below freezing temperatures is to plan ahead.  Plan vacations, plan summer shares, plan spring wardrobes… One of Spring 2013′s trends was the minimalistic and graphic use of black and white shown by everyone from Marc Jacobs to Balmain to Michael Kors.  A long time fan of bold black and white, I am happy to report that this really is one of those trends that would be hard to get wrong… (though I’m sure someone is capable of screwing it up).  You can opt for an actual black and white print or simply pair black and white separates to achieve the look that is clean, crisp, and classic.  Throw em for a loop by accessorizing the look with a red lip or bright bag.

Much like death and taxes, there’s another day that’s unavoidable and sometimes just as unpleasant.  One might believe that with all my relationship mishaps, trainwrecks, and heartbreaks, I’d grow a little bitter.  Ironically enough, I’m love’s biggest fan.  I love love.  I love people who are in love.  I love being in love (though I’m starting to forget how that feels).  So rather than being bitter Betty come February 14th, how about embracing the day and spreading a little love instead?
