You know when you are shopping, and you find that one item that you know you just have to have, and you pray they have your size? That’s how I felt when I saw this linen blazer in mint green at Zara. I love that it combines the feminine mint color with the edgy moto-style shape and studs on the collar. For me, it is the perfect blazer for Spring. I put together an outfit that combined three of my favorite trends for spring: pastels, lace, and studs. I wore a sheer lace top with pale peach cropped pants, and added my mint studded blazer. I continued the studded theme with my Valentino rockstud tote. What do you think?
Blazer: Zara (sold out online, but I got it in the store)/ Lace top: Zara (similar here)/ Pants: Zara/ Shoes: Steve Madden/ Bag: Valentino/ Sunglasses: Karen Walker/ Bracelet: J.Crew
What are some of your favorite trends from Spring?

thankfifi on June 18, 2012 at 6:23 am:great look, love the lace under the blazer – I wore a crochet tee under a denim jacket today (in real life though, not blogged it yet!) – perfect balance I think!
think I’m loving crochet lace (naturally!) and sporty luxe for SS

LeahMac on June 22, 2012 at 5:09 am:I am new to your blog and loving your style! I just discovered my love for Zara, but am hesitant to purchase since I am petite. But you seem to be as well and the clothing fits you as though it was tailored to you! Does Zara fit well for smaller frames?
Thank you!

Hi Leah! Thank you so much first of all! And yes, a Zara XS works great for smaller frames. Sometimes their pants can be a bit big or long, but normally I don’t have to alter anything at all. Hope this helps=)
