(Miss Sixty Bubble Skirt, $216.50; Victoria’s Secret Tie-Belt Bubble Skirt in Stretch Cotton, $39.50)
Spring skirts are giving me the chills. Granted, they’re not supposed to, since things are getting hotter, but minis seemed so far away that they seem like awesome little treats right about now. From snow white skirts to electrifying hot pink ones, you can save and still strut in style. Check out our DealCrush selections, save a bundle, and consider buying all four selections when you’re done– just like me.

This pretty little number in pink, blue, and beige is just what we need to make us smile in the springtime. Floral nylon mesh is cooling and is plain ol’ cool, while ruching at the front yoke can add a little extra something for you up front. That faux button placket adds interest without the danger of anything opening when you’re running to get your cab. The baby doll fit looks perfect under layers and on its own.
Buy: for $50.00.

Three-quarter bell sleeves with cool banded cuffs finishes things off nicely.

It’s not that easy making a fashion blog stand out; we’ve seen millions of them covering handbags, shoes and jewelry. But a blog focusing only on denim? There’s something we don’t see every day, and what a genius idea it is! Denimology covers everything having to do with jeans, from new lines being launched, to what celebrities are endorsing or wearing which brands, and of course, denim trends. Considering most of us basically live in jeans, and we probably have more pairs of them then designer handbags, shouldn’t a denim blog be in all of our bookmarks? There’s no better choice for the latest denim dish than Denimology.
