I had an awesome holiday and when I arrived home from my trip I began battling some cold symptoms ( we have had some drastic temperature changes) so I have been drinking plenty of tea and liquids and thank the Lord I am feeling better.
Even though it’s Friend Friday (it’s Saturday) I want to still give my two cents on what I love about the trends for Spring 2011.
My Favorite trends for Spring 2011
I am loving the very flirty long dresses for Spring and Summer. This dress from Tracy Reese’s 2011 Spring Runway show is beautiful and I would rock this in a minute. Her designs completely flatter a woman’s body. Love it!

2. Bam all about the color baby!
I don’t care if it’s honeysuckle pink or bright orange wear it and
make it shine, shine shine.

3. Caged Wedge Sandal
David Pliner Caged wedge shoe at HSN.com
The shoe looks very sexy but refined and the style is hot.
4. Mixing plaids with prints
Tracy Reese Style.com
You have to experiment with mixing and match your plaids and prints. You will be surprise how good this works together. The only way you find out is to try a plaid and a print that has the same dominant hue of color, stand in front of the mirror and see if it compliments you.
5. White head to toe
Carolina Herrara Spring 2011 Style.com
This white suit is so chic and relaxed at the same time. I love the tie belt at the waist but I would also rock this suit with a color belt for some contrast.
Spring 2011 has something for everyone to wear and be on trend so get out there and explore. I never really go by trends I go by what looks good on my body type so in order to do that trying new things is a must to see if it looks good on me.
These questions originated from Katy Rose at Modlychic.com so please check out what other fashion bloggers have to say about Spring 2011 Trends.

I am finishing up 30 for 30 before I go on my cruise. I will add the rest of my pics tomorrow. I am glad this is almost done.
Day 18 30 for 30
I really like this outfit because of the bright colors. Color and vibrancy can make you look like you’ve had hours of sleep and very well rested.
Day 19 30 for 30
Temperatures have been all over the place so picking out what to wear has been interesting because you have to constantly keep your eye on the weather gauge to know what to wear that day. This outfit is relaxed work wear for me.
Day 20 30 for 30
This outfit is cool. I love the hat because it makes the outfit different and not your normal skirt and sweater ensemble.
I have the last set of pics for 30 for 30 to upload and then I will be officially done. So many times I wanted to throw in the towel because maybe I decided to do this to quickly after I just got finished with the last 30 for 30. Next time this comes around to do 30 for 30 I am really going to think about whether I want to do it or not. I have so many other clothes in my closet and I miss them. Oh well I decided to not throw in the towel and finish this up.
I do appreciate what I have in my closet so if I do this the next time there has to be another reason.
Also, I have been re-mixing all my life so re-purposing clothing is not a new venue for me.

I am on the phone talking about how wild I am about polka dots. Polka dots you say? Yes polka dots. I had bible study last night so I was not able to post these pictures until today so my hubby was taking pics of me while I was on the phone because we had to leave soon. Well it happen to be raining buckets yesterday so it was perfect that I could wear my Chooka polka dot rain boots.

Polka dots bring a smile to my face and to find out that I could have them on my rain boots was a plus. These rain boots retail for $60 but I got a great deal on these babies for $19.98 at Sams of all places. I jumped up and down in the store when I saw them because I know what they retail for.
I have to say that every time I get ready to take a picture my doggies want to steal the spotlight. They are going wild for polka dots too.
I wear this polka dot skirt all year long the fabric is cotton so whether bare leg or with tights the skirt works.
Other ladies are going wild for polka dots too. Please check out Everybody, Everywear!
Side note: Those Toile curtains in the background were sewn by me.

I am wearing pink lipstick in this photo. Pink is a subtle and soft color on me and I like that for my complexion. Make sure that when you chose a lip color that it lights up your face.
JT
The softness that pinks can give my face is so alluring. I love this look on me, it’s not in your face it’s a soft glow. I used bareminerals cupcake and added Fran Wilson frost on top to give my lips that romantic glow.

The sun was really bright when some of the pictures were taken so mixed it up and took some pics inside.

bareMinerals Women of BE 20-piece eye color collection qvc.com
My hubby bought this eye color collection from QVC.com for me for Christmas last year. I feel like a beauty chemist because I can mix so many colors to create some fantastic shades. I have so much fun and I just found out that it’s not available any more in this configuration so this was a wonderful gift.
This post was in response to MJ of Fierce Rock Your Beauty Event March 9, 2011.
Thanks MJ for coming up with this idea of having fun with the color pink.
Oops almost forgot my Dooney & Bourke handbag is Pink too!

Boy this 30 for 30 is different, I guess it’s because I remix all the time. I think everyone remixes in one way or another.
I am going at my own pace with this because a lot has been going on. Meaning life so here’s day 17 of 30 for 30.

I love the necklace. It was such a great find that I try to wear it every chance I get because it adds pizazz to any outfit. My Studio Barse turquoise ring in bronze is one of my favorites. I am very fond of turquoise jewelry and I wear it all year long. In St. Louis the weather has been all over the place, the day I wore the leather jacket as my outer garment it was 70 degrees.

My red turtleneck from Macy’s and my pants are from Jones New York. My boots are Aerosoles and my bag in Pink is from Dooney & Bourke (one of my favorites).
