St. Patrick’s Day: the day when everyone’s Irish. A time to celebrate by wearing green, watching parades, and sharing a pint with friends and family. Being in Boston, my friends and I head to Southie (a.k.a South Boston) where Irish pride runs amuck and an annual parade heads down Broadway all day on the Sunday before St. Patty’s.

I always bring out my green finest- beads, shamrock glasses, a festive t-shirt, pins, you name it!

No matter if you are 100% Irish or “just a pinch” like me, here are some ways to show your spirit, in style, at any price.

Spring is almost here! With Daylight Savings just around the corner, get ready to enjoy the sun for longer and refresh your wardrobe accordingly. Elisa from

Spring officially begins in less than 3 weeks, and it’s about time, isn’t it?

But what about our wardrobes? Here are a few tips to help you transition to spring:

Switch to lighter layers

If the weather allows, start “lightening up”:

- choose a thin cardi and a top over a chunky knit;

- swap your faithful boots for a peep-toe version;

- grab a few spring dresses and wear them with opaque stockings and boots, and if needed, a thin turtleneck underneath.

Add spring trends to your winter wardrobe

Add some clear accessories to your look, like a cuff, a lucite beaded necklace or a pump with a see-through heel;

- swap your classic mini or pencil skirt for a full skirt. Full skirts have a vintage, feminine vibe –but the Spring runway version, with its shorter hemline is also young and playful.

- try on the lingerie trend: pair a corset top with pants or top a delicate nightie dress with an edgy leather jacket or a trench coat.

Include brighter colors and prints

The color of Spring 2010, turquoise is bright, fun, and it pairs well with most neutrals. Try adding a touch of turquoise to your winter outfits: wear a turquoise top under your suit, or brighten up your outfit with a turquoise handbag.

Explore a new interpretation of the classic spring trend, florals, by opting for accessories featuring rosettes, sculpted flowers and the like.

Sailor stripes can add a playful tone to your work wardrobe when you pair a striped boat neck tee to simple navy pants, and to your after-work wardrobe with a flirty striped dress.

In fashion the line between the seasons is often blurry – so don’t be afraid to experiment with upcoming trends. Experimenting is half the fun, anyway

Naturally, with Daylight Savings Time about to kick in (don’t forget: clocks spring forward by an hour as of this Sunday at 2AM!), we’ve had time saving on our minds. At Shop It To Me HQ, there’s been a lot of chatter about how this translates sartorially—or really, how we can all streamline our routines by getting dressed faster without slacking on style. The verdict? With a little strategic shopping, anything is possible.

There are certain key building blocks that work for any wardrobe—classic, versatile items that take the guesswork out of deciding what to wear. Imagine the perfect black dress, for starters: in an ideal world, everyone would have one fantastic, well-made, well-cut LBD that could be worn for any occasion from work to weekend. Something simple and classic that could be accessorized every which way, so if you woke up feeling rock and roll, say, you could add an eyeliner and leather cuff, or for more of a demure, Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe, just throw on kitten heel pumps and black shades. And now imagine if said dress was 70% off—genius, right?

After thinking long and hard about the other fundamental pieces every woman should have, we combed the market to track down the best, most ingeniously versatile, need-to-have-them staples to make anyone look instantly pulled together—and all at super-discounted prices to boot. Herewith, our guide to looking effortlessly, flawlessly chic.

This chartreuse hue is perfect for spring!  And at 50%-off, this DVF tank particularly caught our eye.  At $92.50 for the chartreuse, what a snag!  (And if you’re one of the few lucky ones to grab the black, it’s even more discounted — only $55.50!)  Our bet is that it WILL sell out fast.
