A Hop, Skip, and a Jump!

My small hometown really goes overboard for Groundhog Day.  You see, ever since Bill Murray's cult classic film Groundhog Day was filmed there in the 90's, the town's never been quite the same.  Although I've always found this endlessly embarrassing and more than a little pathetic, I'm finally beginning to embrace our little claim to fame.  Each February 2nd, we pull our own groundhog "Woodstock Willie" out of his cozy home and await his prognostication. (Click here to see what I'm talking about- I'm pretty sure that's my friend Andrew in the costume!)  While most years leave me cursing the adorable/evil little creature, this year Willie did not see his shadow, which has me seeing polka dots.  Kate Spade sent out this email, featuring three adorable ways to style their Reina dress.  At $395, I won't be buying this one, but it sure is providing some great inspiration for spring.  It's right around the corner! (I got so into the spirit this year that I even indulged in an adorable little groundhog cookie from the local bakery- wish I had snapped a pic.)
