Touch O' the Green

 Stephanie of Blue Daisy Trinkets brought in a batch O' the Emerald to keep the pincher's at bay this St. Paddy's Day  - and unlike the Green Tutu, stripey socks or crazy wig alternatives, you'll actually want to be  wearing them gain! These cute hairpins are crafted of vintage and found treasures and make affordable and thoughtful gifts at just $7. to $8. each.

It's Time for Green

St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching and even Mother Nature is excited. Everything outside is turning green just in time for Saturday. Come to downtown Des Moines for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and revel in festivities the whole family will enjoy. This year, the parade will stage at the Capitol on Walnut Street and will proceed west on Locust at noon.

Post parade activities will be held at the Marriott on Grand Avenue. Music and entertainment will be provided by Kelly's Clan and the Foy Irish Dancers.

If you're still looking for that perfect outfit or for green accessories, Vitae has several items to fit the bill, like this vintage green scarf and this necklace by Little Pretties pictured with a Julia Lovan dress below.

Have a fun and safe St. Patty's Day from all of us at Vitae!
