LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE

Back in December, my parka and I were tight. I could count on it to keep me cozy and look cute every single day. But, like that super clingy boyfriend who has no concept of personal space, my parka has overstayed its welcome.  I love you, really I do parka, but isn't it time we took a break? Luckily, no feelings will be hurt in this process. I'll quietly pack up my beloved parka, put it in a comfortable spot in my basement and bring it back next winter once we've both had some much-needed time apart.  

Here's the thing: with so many cute spring coats flooding into stores right now, I 'm ready for something new. I have daily debates between flowy trenches and cute cropped bombers. I can't get enough of all the long cardis and extra-long vests out there. While some jackets are investments, most are right within my spring shopping budget so I won't have to deal with any guilt for my spring fling. 

Ready to part ways with your parka, too? We've rounded up 40 of the most tempting toppers for Spring '16 to get you ready for the warm weather ahead. Click on the pics below to scroll through and get ready to want...

As a fashion addict, I'm always curious to see Pantone's yearly colour reveal. Is it going to be bright? Is it going to be pretty? And will it really even matter? I mean let's face it - last year's colour announcement was a total downer.  Marsala? Hmm. I don't know about you, but I don't like watered-down wine in any context.   For 2016, Pantone took note and hit us with not one but two top picks for its shades of the year. The pretty in pink Rose Quartzand tranquil blue Serenity feel totally right right now. I mean, why pit boy vs. girl when you can have both?
