I’m happy to see that Rococo Red on there!
I just bought the cutest outfits in that shade!
I was debating on whether to buy these “golden olive” moccasins for spring…and im super excited that the color is there! :)
Samantha - Rococo Red (along with Spring Crocus) is my fave shade of all the spring colors.. really cute and makes all the basics pop!
Patrice - Ooh, golden olive moccasins sound interesting - send me the link if there is one, I’d like to see what they look like!
Awesome blog!
Spring is my favorite time of the year and I actually love all the colors!
Thanks fashion frenzy :)
Maria - Mine too! This year all the spring fashion colors are actually … “springy”, which I think rocks! It’s going to be fun.

Love snorkel blue! Rooco red, freesia and daquiri are great too!
I’m loving Rocco Red & Snorkel Blue. They’ll work best on my dark skin tone ^_^
Fressia and Rococo Red.. FINALLY!
thanx for posting it up
you are the best!

Jane - Definitely with you on those, especially the silver gray!
Kim - Seriously. Doesn’t snorkel blue just say warm weather to you? Haha I love it!
Anyaposh - Yaaay! I’m pale as can be but hoping to still rock those colors too - as pops of color for a more basic outfit.
Lillian - You’re welcome! I think you are the best too :)
I love all of the colors, but I must say that Rocco Red and Snorkel Blue are my absolute favorites.
All these colors are awesome! my favorite would have to be snorkel blue! And i can definatly see croissant going with everything! However i have a question, i have a white skirt, do you think wearing a criossant colored top with it would look ok or just weird??
Pink Mist is wonderful!
I love love love these colors! Yay SPRING!
Rococo Red and Snorkel Blue are cute,
Christy - I think it might be okay and it really depends on the styles of both. I actually like white with more neutral beige and tan tones and also with brown. It’s a cute look that’s kinda earthy if you know what I mean.
Maried - I’m with you on that - the pink mist is gorgeous.
Leighanne - It can’t come soon enough!!!
Layla and Mary - Seems like those are definitely the most popular colors. I can’t wait to stock up!
I just love this colours! Especially the Rococo Red, Snorkel Blue and Freesia!
awsome! :)
I love Rococo Red, Snorkel Blue and Freesia. Gorgeous and oh-so-springy!
