Gingham and Ruffles

I’m making changes…to my closet. Over the next year, I plan on shifting my focus to more basics and items I will get a lot of use out of, trimming the excess. This does not mean boring. Basics do not have to be humdrum and this whole idea excess excites me. Basics are pieces you will wear over and over again, dressy or casual, everyday. My only caveat is the shoe department. I will not give up my love of shoes, and my love for finding perfect pairs.Read More

Lace Off the Shoulder

I’m embracing all the lace and all the off the shoulder tops I’m seeing this spring. My latest find is one of the sweetest and is so comfortable for under $25. I was completely surprised where I found this top. I was actually running past a store, and heard the top calling my name, so I quickly ran in to check if what I was seeing was reality. I loved the structure, quality and price, and when I tried it on, I realized it’s super flattering.Read More

Lace and Bell Sleeves

This little pink dress is so sweet, gorgeous and perfect for Valentine’s Day – the sweetest holiday of them all. With gorgeous lace and bell sleeves, it fits the day perfectly, but also works for bridal and baby showers, easter, brunch with friends, and so many more events. The best part is it’s $27! You can afford a really cute pair of shoes to go with it (if the weather allows…).

It’s a mini length with two layers and a mock neckline. I love the ruffles on the bell sleeves. This blush tone works well with black, but I plan on wearing my nude sandals in the spring and summer (totally not an option right now – the temps are in the 20s).

  My bag goes with me just about everywhere. It has gorgeous classic quilting and a chain strap. I love the all black version, but there is a black version with a gold chain and even a full velvet style. If you want the cutest of bags, try this heart shaped one from Rebecca Minkoff.

As promised off Instagram, this is my playlist right now. Listening all.the.time and I highly recommend all the songs.

Mid-winter lace

At the end of January, I always get the same feeling: “Where is Spring?” I know it’s far away, so for now, I appease my inner sun goddess by wearing some mid-winter lace. Lace to me is Spring. It’s light, airy, intricate and beautiful. I love this long sleeve lace top because it can be layered and requires an extra layer of a tank underneath (but you could do just a bra if you’re really daring). And it’s only $18! Such a bargain that adds something gorgeous to a casual look.Read More

Mother’s Day Options

IMG_3742

My first choice for Mother’s Day is to stay in bed as long as possible, have breakfast brought to me, get a mani/pedi at some point, and follow all that jazz by family park time, if the weather cooperates. But, if you are going out for brunch or participating in something fancier, I have the outfit for you.Read More
