Spring is almost here. Although you wouldn’t know it anywhere in the country given the frigid temps. I’m in Chi town and one day its 60 the next its 25 and snowy. Seriously, the weather is more BiPo than our pal Brit Brit and I for one am ready to shed my puffy jacket and grab myself a cute spring dress (and a bottle of self tanner).

So since spring technically starts next week, I though I’d gear us for those springy days with my five loves of spring. Who knows? Maybe some positive thinking coupled with some cute spring staples will convince Mother Nature to bring us sunny skies and warmer weather.

To this day the meanest thing a friend has ever done to me was not invite me to a party, but that doesn’t even compare to what happened to a 19-year-old New Jersey woman who was abandoned  in a rural wooded area in 8-degree weather by her three “friends”.

Maria Contreras-Luciano, Amber Crespo, and Dyanne Velasquez, planned the attack for a month because they were angry over an insurance claim made by the victim. The victim arrived at Crespo’s home to meet up with the three women and then drive together to a party. Police said the victim noticed that her friends weren’t dressed for a party but was reassured by a dress hanging in the car.

Instead of driving to the party the girls dragged the victim from the car, leaving her with only one shoe and a dress in the frigid cold.

A motorist  stopped and let the victim use a cell phone to call one of the women who abandoned her but refused to give her a ride. Finally, she flagged down another driver who took her to a hospital where she may need surgery on her frostbitten feet. The suspects are being held on $200,000 bail and face kidnapping, assault and conspiracy charges. This takes frenemies to a whole ‘nother level.
