Is it Spring yet?

This winter has been brutal. It has been my-bones-ache-through-my-down-coat brutal. That said, I am BEYOND ready for spring when people emerge from their respective hibernation holes, toes reappear in flip flops, and men start running shirtless. I'm so ready for spring, I've already started planning my wardrobe. I'm envisioning super flowy fabrics and tons of loud and funky prints. That said, here are some things I absolutely need am coveting for the season.
1. Reaching for the Light Espadrilles 

The name might be a bit hokey, but everything about this exudes sunshine and happiness. I almost feel as though strapping these on would force the seasons to change, they are that powerful. Buy through Anthropologie for $188.
2. Colorblock Floppy Hat

I have never been a hat person, but I'm aiming to change that in the spring and I'm starting with a hat like this. I can picture this being the perfect topper for any number of outfits. This hat and I will have adventures. Buy through Forever 21 for $12.80.
3. Shoshanna Shirred Strapless Dress

Speaking of prints...I die. This is the type of print plus that style of dress is a combo that could be so multi-faceted, I could see it styled with flats and a cardigan or I could see it with heels and funky jewelry for a night out. Plus, I think these colors would complement a lot of skin tones. For some reason I get kind of a peacock feather vibe from it too, which might be another reason I like it since I've had a weird thing about peacock feathers lately. Buy through Shopbop for $340.
4. Patterson J. Kincaid Claire Spinal Tie Dye Tunic

The tie dye is fun but not Grateful-Dead-in-your-face type and this fabric looks so flowly and comfy. Perfection. Buy through Shopbop for $138.
5. Tory Burch Petula Dress

Personally, maxi dresses swallow me since I am incredibly short, but I keep holding out hope that I will find one that fits me. I really, really want it to be this one. I really love the whole Tory Burch 2010 Resort Collection, but this dress stands out. The purple is heaven. Buy through Tory Burch for $550.
