Live Fast Cause It Won't Last:

Live Fast by nsaich featuring a printed shirt

      Life just seems a bit sweeter when the month of March hits. Sunlight starts flooding my bedroom window as a welcome wake up call in the early mornings and I can't help but feel the need to seize the day! When warmer weather hits, you can typically find me using every spare moment that I can find to really enjoy even the most mundane of tasks. Gardening becomes a hobby instead of a chore and even doing the dishes seems pleasant while looking out a near by window at the lovely weather. There are so many little things in life to be enjoyed and taken advantage of, you just have to change your perspective. Side bar, I just got new prescription glasses and I am beginning to wonder if the lenses were made slightly rose tinted! Here are a few other things that make me see pink:

1: Super Nintendo- Growing up, my childhood friend Megan and I would spend any sunny day we could find out in the backyard by the pool. When it got too warm we'd head inside for an intense session of Super Nintendo. I like the idea of reviving that tradition but replace the pool with the Santa Cruz beach!

2: Floral Printed Gardening Tools- because a perky print makes potting and planting that much more fun.

3: Bright & Zesty Flats- Ideal for running around town and having adventures.  

4: Luscious Fragrances- I've been wanting to indulge my sense of smell lately with lovely scents and candles. Marc Jacobs "Daisy" seems to be the perfectly perky floral and if I could get my hands on a Diptyque green mint candle I'd be set. 

5: Insect Jewelry- I've been scoring inexpensive bug themed brooches at vintage fairs (styled with a floral dress here) and I've been wearing them with everything in my closet. Lately I'm digging those classic lady bug studs.

6: High Waisted Skirts- After wearing lots of layers all Winter, I'm looking forward to swingy printed skirts with lots of movement. 

7: Catch Phrase Sweatshirt- Lately I dig the idea of motivational catch phrases printed onto an everyday basic, like this gray sweatshirt. A constant reminder to stay on the right track.

Yours,

Nico

Butter... YELLOWS

Butter... YELLOWS by nsaich featuring silk pants

      Lately I find my wardrobe is influenced more and more by the dishes I prepare and the ingredients I use. For spring I am lusting after shades of butter yellow and this neon yellow ipad case/purse/clutch is climbing to the top Nico's most wanted list. 


Yours,
Nico

That's just my bag baby!

The handbag... a girl can't leave the house without one, at least this girl can't! I thought I would divulge what items I have on my person at all times:

(clockwise from top)

1: REMOVABLE GOLD CHAIN: This may be the most frequently utilized item I own. I love for my handbags to be multifunctional (they are expensive!) and this detachable chain does the trick by taking a clutch to a hands free cross body bag!

2: SUNGLASSES! I wear contact lenses and it is essential that I have shades with me at all times to protect my eyes and also my skin. The sunnies pictured are by Chloe

3: ANTIQUE PILL BOX! You never know when a headache may arise without notice, so why not be prepared with a pill box filled with whatever you may need? Plus it takes up next to no space in your purse!

4: MAKEUP ESSENTIALS! I always keep a tube of lipstick and mascara with me for last minute touch ups. A folding brush with built in mirror is also compact, functional, and necessary!

5: FLORAL CHOPSTICK CASE: This is another item that hardly takes up space and can be very helpful. I usually store chopsticks in here incase I need utensils but I have also used it to carry makeup brushes (keeps the brushes protected and the interior lining of your bag protected).

6: KEYS! I constantly check to make sure I haven't locked my keys in my car, don't you?

7: BROWN OVERSIZED CLUTCH: Love the angular detailing on this Hayden-Harnett for Target bag. I bought it a long time ago and its remained a staple in my wardrobe since. 

8: MARC JACOBS WALLET: I found this on ebay, it may or may not be real but I LOVE it. Plenty of internal pockets and such. Also came with detachable chain (mentioned 1st in this post). 

So there you have it, everything I need to survive the day! 

Yours, Nico
