We love March, and we love it because it’s when Louisville starts to bloom again. We are seeing blooms with flowers and plants as well as blooming colors in our wardrobes and home decor.
ACCESSORIES
Cuff
Gold with a hint of the season’s favorite color — mint — would be the description of this unique cuff bracelet at Dandelion. This is a large cuff, covering a good portion of your wrist, and it makes a large statement, as well. Sold for $126

Cashmere wrap
This is the time of year that a light wrap is indispensable. This lightweight cashmere wrap comes in plenty of colors and is closed in the back. There are four different ways to wear it: as a poncho, a one-shoulder, a scarf or a front-knotted wrap. Dover House & Mercantile sells these very useful and soft wraps for $155.

Men’s linen
It’s time. Time to break out the linen and lighter-weight clothes. This linen shirt at J. McLaughlin is many shades of blue and would pair well with a quarter-zip sweater in another bright color. These are $155.

Casserole dish
You will definitely be pigging out (sorry, had to!) with anything made in one of these adorable piggy casserole dishes. They retail for $85 each at Celebrations and come in teal and red. They don’t come with chicken divan, king ranch chicken or whatever your favorite casserole is; you have to cook that yourself.

Flower holder
These tulips are a perfect indicator of the new spring season upon us. Here’s a hint: they’re not real, but they look and feel real. That’s why they are called Real Feel flowers. This is a vintage-inspired milk bottle flower holder, with six different bottles acting as vases. The flower holder is $32 and the tulips are $3 each at Vintage Style & Design.

Glasses
Cheers to you, friends, in this lucky month of March. These unbreakable, stemless wine glasses look like glass, but are actually acrylic. Take them outside, use them inside or just fling them around. Just be sure not to spill your drink. These are sold at Digs for $32 for four glasses.

Jars
Not your basic jars, these are hobnail ceramic jars that come in the bright spring colors of robin’s egg blue and coral, as well as white. The treat is the top, which is chalkboard material, so that you can label what is in each jar. Genius. You can find these at Urban Farmhouse Market for $15 each.

Planters
If you are looking for something a little different for your patio, check out these solar lit planters that are in the shape of vintage cars. During the day they are “dark” soaking up the sun. At night, the headlights light up to show off your beautiful flowers and patio. These are sold at Tunie’s for $64 each.
