It's still too cold for most spring looks, but I know that we are all feeling the need for some fresh growth. Spring is upon us. Many of us find ourselves cleaning up messes that we've made of our lives. The need for change seems to be the one thing everyone in the nation can agree on & speaking of it seems to border on trite cliche, as opposed to the optimistic outcry of a year ago.

This spring I feel we all need a clean slate -- some thing that is reminiscent of birth and nakedness, that helps wash away negativity and old baggage and propels us forward to the things that are actually important in our lives. Many designers seem to agree as well. The spring shows were full of sheers and simplicity, and these fall looks have the right balance of warmth and freshness to transition into the warmer days.

Blessed Imbolc all.
