Five Fresh Looks For Spring

There is a reason that spring is the season of fresh, clean starts. All that dirty snow has disappeared, the mounds of dirty wet clothes have disappeared from the back door, and sweet little green buds have begun to change the entire palette of your once brown yard. Take a deep breath and enjoy, you made it! 

Fun, fresh spring looks are also a right of passage into this sunshine (and rosé filled) season. Pastels, whites, open toes, floral everything, and wovens are all ready to be placed firmly in your rotating wardrobe. So here are five fun looks that are a breath of fresh air with a splash of whimsy. 

This dress ($300)! Love the sweet print so much. You could also tie it in the back. Paired with some tortoise shades ($55), a cute woven bag ($172) , and these AMAZING marigold sandals ($136) it is perfect for any event or party. 

A fresh white shirt ($65) looks so good with these cropped straight leg jeans ($98). The white heels ($595) are super chic and gorgeous. These tortoise hoops ($36) are killer and this convertible bag ($98) screams "I am a cool french girl." 

I want to LIVE in this white gauze dress ($246), which IS lined. These mirrored pink glasses ($60) are so great and this bag is a tote/backpack/shoulder bag ($795) that can fit your laptop and all the things. And these white sandals ($175) are giving me Dr. Scholl's vibes in all the right ways. 

I love these pink sandals  ($495) SO much that I had to pair them with two dresses. ha This pink shirt dress ($276) is easy and works for so many occasions or no occasion at all really. And this sweet floral dress  ($290) is comfy, but chic. Add these fun heart hoops ($32) and pink Chloe bag ($1800) to either for a fun look. 

This sweatshirt ($148) has the sweetest neckline that elevates an otherwise boring (but favorite) choice. Paired with these Levi's ($98) that look so flattering and easy to wear with cute sneakers ($140) is the perfect casual outfit. Top with these cute glasses ($59) and the perfect tote ($198) to fit everything and you are set. 

Happy Spring friends!

Current Favorites & Sales

My heart is breaking a bit with the three week wind down until school starts. Though summer of course has its hiccups, this one has been great.  The juggle of kids, and work, and fun, and camp, and doing nothing is tough, but somehow we got there. So until that first morning comes, we are going to live it up. Or down, however you want to look at it. ha

Here are a few of my favorite things right now, but first do not forget the Nordstrom Sale is still on until August 5th! There is still plenty of greatness and they have even restocked a few sold out items I noticed. 
Scroll through for picks. 

And few of my other favorite things right now

1. I cannot believe I just ordered this wide legged jumpsuit. I should have been wearing it all summer long! comes in a romper too. 

2. Been getting a lot of questions on eye cream lately. This is the one I use every night. . It is an investment, but you only need a little bit and it WORKS. Even my dermatologist uses it! 

3. Everyone loves an LL Bean tote, but did you know you can customize them?! Just figured it out and now I have the perfect bag for tennis/workout gear. 

4. The Handmaid's Tale. Have you watched??? It is SO creepy and completely addictive. Excited to dive into season 2. On hulu and iTunes

5. You guys, this dressing. I am not kidding has gotten me to eat more vegetables than I thought possible. You can find it in the refrigerated dressing section in Produce (heinen's for you locals) and it changes your life. Great on rice and stir fry too. 

6. I am digging a good mom jean, and these Reformation ones are awesome. High Waisted to pull you in, thick denim that will not rip, and a great kick crop to show off your cute shoes at a great price. 

7. These cabana chairs come in so many colors and are perfect for porches and patios. Even a kids room! 

8. Been eyeing this light for over my island and realized that the Serena & Lily Tent Sale started! So many good finds. Especially bedding, baby, outdoor furniture, and even pajamas.

A Mix and Match Winter Capsule for Your Closet

After sharing a week of outfits to you all, I realized that my closet needed some holes filled (I need a pair of these and maybe this). Most importantly, interchangeable pieces that I can wear for a daytime meeting/lunch or a night out. Put together, but not fussy, and items that can be worn practically anywhere. 

When I say night out, I no longer mean a "going out top" and sky high heels. Although I do enjoy that once in awhile. I mean cozy dinners with friends and date nights at our local favorite. Pulled together and interesting, but not trying too hard. 

This is a true capsule where every piece fits together. I know that longevity and worth while investment is important to all of us. So here are 12 tops and 8 bottoms that could be worn with each other. I gravitated towards interesting knits with maybe a hint of skin and silky tops that can be worn loose or tucked depending on your mood. I really love the combinations and with a few of each category there could be many outfits to last well into Spring. 

1. This Sezane sweater can be worn both ways and I love the bow / 2. This poncho is so chic and cozy, perfect to wear as a layering piece / 3. A v neck top with sweet bows in soft silk (other colors) / 4. I live for a silk shell. Shows off shoulders and comes in other colors  / 5. The sleeves of this gray sweater keep it interesting / 6. A nod to pajamas, this silk shirt is SO good / 7. This off the shoulder sweater is a little longer to wear with slim pants or tucked into trousers / 8. And this darling ruffle sweater is sweet as can be / 9. This is a one shoulder sweater and it looks SO great in white / 10. A cashmere crew sweater in a fun print to switch things up (also comes in solid colors) / 11. You can wear this pink silk shirt in so many ways / 12. A cashmere v neck you will wear for years (other colors)

1. Straight leg is the new skinny and this vintage look is classic / 2. An uber flattering tie waist pant to tuck any of the above in (other colors) / 3. These skinny jeans are like wearing spanx and so comfy. love the dark wash to dress it up / 4. These are J. Crew's best selling pant but with a higher waist to pull you in (other colors) / 5. A silky pull on pant that will feel like sweats, but look like suiting (other colors)WANT / 6. I swear a pink track pant goes with anything. so fun! / 7. Another classic cropped jean, but in a darker wash. I really want these / 8. A cropped knit pant that has glowing reviews. They scream cool and comfy. Also in gray 

Thoughts? Any questions on how to pull these things together? 

Narrowing the selection will be hard for me!

What I Wore Last Week

One thing that I have tried not to do on this blog or Instagram is pretend. There are so many bloggers out there that do the best job of putting looks together and posting the most perfect pictures (no judgement I love them too!). And some are doing that for real, but many are staging photo shoots with racks of clothes from advertisers a couple times a month and pushing the shots as if they are wearing things real time. I prefer to do things as they happen and be as authentic as possible for you all. Selfies feel pretty ridiculous, but it is what I get comments on to do more of all the time. So I thought I would try and post weekly outfits here. Maybe not every outfit every week (hello raggy pjs), but pieces that I love and you might too. 

From Top Left: 

Monday included pilates and errands. That means the coziest Zara jacket EVER that is sadly sold out. This is similar and this. My go to leggings, this cute Gap sweatshirt (on sale), and my beloved wedge boots lined with shearling. 

I had a meeting Tuesday night, which gave me an excuse to wear my favorite silk button down (similar) with these velvet jeans (on sale, true to size). I LOVE this color combo and the booties (on sale) kept it comfortable. 

Wednesday I had pilates and had to meet a photographer for a property. So I wore my work out clothes under this striped sweater (on sale), my Uggs, and the classic Chateau Parka (on sale) from J. Crew. 

Bottom Left: 

Thursday I had a tennis match and wore this cute tennis dress (on super sale!) from J. Crew with these Gap compression leggings underneath. I absolutely love these kicks from Zara too. 

Friday I had pilates in the morning and then met a friend for a movie date. I hid my workout clothes under this super soft sweater (this is similar and this) and wore these easy slip ons in pink velvet (on sale $29!). And yes, I have the same hair as the day before because I am living my best life. 

Saturday evening we had dinner with friends so I wore this sweet ruffled sweater (50% off!) and the most comfy skinny jeans. (on sale) I paired them with my Zara velvet flats (similar) and the classic Claire V. leopard clutch. 

This was fun to make myself look a bit more presentable even if it was an errands and work out kind of day. As you can see I like to hide the work out clothes and move on with my day. I also am usually in pretty casual clothes with the occasional one or two dressier nights. If there are any outfits that you need help with most, let me know and I will try to include more.
