While thoughts of spring bring to mind flowers and sunshine, the sad truth is that spring starts with rain. It's easy to let the gloomy weather affect your mood, but luckily we have a secret weapon to help keep a smile on your face - fashion! Surrounding yourself with bright colors and bold patterns is a sure way to feel lighthearted until the weather starts to match. Take a look below at some of our favorite springtime products for some inspiration.

What's bold, bright, and beaded? Our Mayan Tassel Necklaces and Bracelets! Available in four eye-catching colors, wrapping yourself in these delicate beauties will remind you that a sunny spring is just around the corner!

Our Bright Lightweight Cotton Scarf is cool enough to be worn in warmer weather, but thick enough to keep the rain off your neck! Tuck in under a jacket when the rain starts coming down, and spread it out over a dress or sweater once you're safely inside.

Our eye catching Bright Cotton Tote and Cosmetic Case are handwoven on traditional Guatemalan backstrap looms in bright patterns made to capture the beauty of the Andes. Carry them around on rainy days to keep the cheery spirit with you!

They say charity begins at home, and being cheery does too! Our Peruvian Embroidered Cotton Pillows pop in any room you place them, giving you a burst of color right at the start of your day. And if you're in need of a cuddle, our Chubby Cotton Piggy is the buddy for you - how could you look at that face without smiling?!

Finally, you can make your own little sun by popping a tealight into our Handmade Wax Luminaries and watching them glow! The soft candlelight is exactly what you need to unwind and relax after a day in the rain.
