With all of the pink magnolias and redbuds in bloom, we’re feeling more inspired than ever to add pops of color to our vases, our spaces and our wardrobe. In celebration of fresh blooms and the arrival of spring, we plan to do just that. We found 13 fun ways to incorporate the season’s vivid hues into your life (hey, the month does contain Friday the 13th!). From gifts for the home to treats for yourself and even your good ole’ furry friend, there is something to enliven every part of your day.
And, we went a little happy spending our “play” money for today’s article … but there are some steals in here as well! Everything was just sooooo dreamy …
