Between this week's groundbreaking CHANEL Cruise presentation in Havana (watch it below), to yesterday's Cinco de Maya celebrations, I'm officially ready for a fiesta. The Chanel show eased its way into the party, with sophisticated neutrals gradually evolving into a full spectrum of happy brights. Cinco de Mayo, meanwhile, always heads straight for the piñata, with revelers rocking ruffles, beads and every colour of the rainbow each year until the sun sets(or the guacamole runs out). 

If you missed both parties (still waiting for my invite, Karl), don't despair. Now is the perfect time to start infusing playful brights into your wardrobe to get your own party started...

Well, Spring, you're fashionably late, I'll give you that. And while I can relate, especially on this particular Monday, it's inevitable that deadlines must be met - fashion stories in my case, blooming flowers in yours - and we will get back on track. 

Since it's Cinco de Mayo, let's make today the day to get this spring party started. These bright celebratory pieces are just the thing to heat things up.  Try taking a canvas of all white, then add in splashes of fiesta-friendly brights in the form of orange polish or lipstick, a super fun tasseled necklace, and striped espadrilles. So fun, si?

My job is done. Spring? Looks like you're up...
