Spring Blues & a GiGi New York Giveaway

With warm weather on the horizon, I am beginning to build my spring wardrobe. This year I am really loving anything that involves stripes, as well as neutral pieces that can be worn time and time again. I also want to incorporate the Pantone color(s) of the year. Both shades are absolutely gorgeous and I know they will be great additions to my closet!

When I first saw the spring colors GiGi New York was offering, I was immediately drawn to the hydrangea color. It’s extremely close to the Pantone color “Serenity” and is a shade that can be worn with a lot of neutral colors to make a statement. I was immediately smitten as soon as I saw the the Kelly Saddle bag in hydrangea…I mean, how cute?!? It’s a great size cross body bag and the addition of the tassel gives it a fun touch! I think it will look so cute with white dresses and sandals this summer!

Today I’m teaming up with GiGi New York to giveaway one Kelly Saddle bag (in either of the three colors it comes in) to one Life With Emily reader. Click through to see more details of this look & enter the giveaway at the bottom of the post. This giveaway will run through February 16th at midnight! Good luck xxgigi new york kelly cross body

    I would probably go with the classic navy, though I have similar coloring to you, and I think the light blue is always a good option for us fair of skinned with light hair!!

    I love that top! It reminds me (in the best way possible) of tying my button up shirts at the bottom like that in middle school!! I also agree that the pantone color is just dreamy and GiGi it the nail on the head with its “hydrangea” version!

    Love, love, love all three colors! You can never go wrong with the navy, very transitional between seasons but the hydrangea is a breath of fresh air. As a mom, I need practical/classic pieces so I choose the navy!

    Definitely the hydrangea! I love small purses and this would be perfect for church and other occasions! A second choice is the bone color!
