SPRING PREVIEW

So, remember when I used to update this blog?  It's ok, I don't either.  Despite the major break, the weather was more than perfect over the weekend and called for a peek at spring. And like usual, there will be lots of white, lace and dresses going on around here.  I just can't help myself when it comes to white in lace or eyelet, and who could blame me? 

Check out Piperlime for more inspiration and #momentsofchic.

TWIRLS

Asos Crop Top // Asos Midi Skirt // UO Clutch // Rakani Watch c/o (on sale!) // J.Crew Link Bracelet // Ray-Ban Sunglasses // J.Crew Heels, Similar

There's something about a black and navy combo that I really, truly love.  Call me a rebel I suppose but I also love black and brown.  I wore this outfit to a charity event for my husbands work and I loved the fact that it looked like a dress but was actually separates.  The lace back of the top is really what got me with this crop top, not to mention it's on sale!

I'm pretty sure the only reason to wear a skirt like this is so you can twirl around.  I remember doing it as a child and I have to say it was still pretty fun. Sure, I felt a tad silly as a grown woman but there's nothing wrong with that!

SUN & SUNFLOWERS

UO Top, Similar // Asos Shorts (on sale!) // J.Crew Wedges // Madewell Sunnies // Sabine Necklace via Piperlime

Months before my trip to Hawaii I found different shorts, rompers, dresses and shoes that I just had to have for vacation.  These shorts, for example, I just had to have.  It was as if I couldn't go to Hawaii without them.  The thing you realize though, once you're in Hawaii is that you spend 98% of your time in bathing suits, cover ups and comfy clothes.    So when the last night rolled around and these were still in my large pile of clothes that hadn't been worn I knew what I had to do.  I was quite overdressed for the occasion but no regrets here.  

I just love the bold print paired with crisp white and tan skin.  Nothing screams summer more than bronzed legs and short shorts.  

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!

Nine times out of ten when I'm getting ready, the clothes go on and then it's bracelet time, and as you know, I don't generally shy away from stacking them on.  It just feels right when I hear the jingle jangle of them clanking together.  This Color By Amber cuff was the perfect complement to the other bracelets I was wearing.  Plus, I didn't have to think of any others to wear with it since it's such a statement, and I always love that!

I wore this simple outfit last week to my nephew's VIP day since it was just a casual morning at his school.  He got to take me around his classroom and show me what he has been up to this year.  I saw all of his paintings and drawings around the classroom and let me tell you, this kid is quite the artist. There was one in particular I immediately envisioned hanging in my house so I asked him if I could have it. He almost agreed but the money-hungry kid that he is decided to try and make five bucks off me.  I took the bait and agreed to pay him five dollars for it.  He then upped the price to twenty.  So much for being a VIP... Good thing I love that kid.

OLDIES

H&M Top // Old Navy Skirt, Similar // Gap Sandals // J.Crew Bag // Windsor Hat // Madewell Sunglasses

This was the perfect light and airy combo for a relaxing and warm (almost 90 degrees!) Saturday.  Neutral colors and a bold lip is my perfect combo for Spring.  I'm pretty sure I've said this before but I love the beginning of a season because all your oldies seem like newbies because they haven't been worn in so long.  Combinations you never thought of before suddenly come to life and it's all free!  

Any combos you're looking to wearing this Spring?!

BOOTIES > SANDALS

Madewell Blouse // Ily Couture Cardigan // UO Jeans // Hudson Booties // J.Crew Clutch

I went through a phase a couple of summers ago where I would continuously paint my nails.  I bought all sorts of nail polish and religiously painted both my fingernails and toenails.  I don't know why I used to have so much time on my hands but nowadays it seems my toenails are usually chipped to no end. And my fingernails only ever get whatever color I've recently sampled at the store.  All of that to say I am dreading spring because of the sandals that come with it and the subsequent time I'll have to spend painting at least those ten toenails.  So for now I am more than happy about our (first) rain storm of the season and the booties I will continue to wear.

DOTTED

While all of you are willing spring to come I have been willing it to leave.  I finally decided to embrace what we've got and throw on my favorite summer dress.  I'll admit I was a little toasty with the sweater but I couldn't go sleeveless.  I know our "winter" will hit when I'm finally ready for spring but that's how it is every year.

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend!  It sure was nice to have an extra day off if I do say so myself!
