spring is definitely teasing us. the promise of open-toe shoes & sundresses aches my heart, as i am dying to get out of winter’s cold grip and frolic outside.

my sweet friend–annie churchill–and founder of new yorkers for a green new york*, has just the fix for anyone chomping at the bit to shed some winter layers & show some skin. she’s hosting the stewart+brown spring trunk show at yogaworks.

best of all, 10% of any purchases made at the event goes straight to the charity. awesome, right!
