Patio Updates

As things begin to slowly bloom and the sun lingers longer into the evening, is there anything better than being able to finally be outdoors? Since it appears we will be spending a lot of time at home this spring and possibly summer (eek!), updates to the patio are well worth it. And given the sales retailers are having, it is a good time to take advantage since patio furniture can be so pricey. 

I pulled some beautiful sets that are all on sale, planters just shouting for flowers, and some fun accessory items that will make you smile.

2. This is such a sweet take on rainbow and love the high waist bottom. Also comes in a one piece

3. This rug is gorg and for the price you can get the REALLY big one you always wanted. (this one too)

4. I just bought this jumpsuit and I will live in it all summer. Looks like an outfit, feels like pajamas. The DREAM! 

5. I have always loved this woven fixture. Would look so pretty over my island or the guest room. 

6. Slides with ruffles that will look chic, but not kill your feet. 

7. The sweetest flutter sleeve dress for Mary. 

8. Again with the puff sleeve, I know! But this dress hugs in all the right places and has such a great print. (and this one)

9. I swear by this boys seersucker swimsuit. And for the price you can get multiple for the inevitable popsicle stains.  

10. Clear is everywhere and while I wasn't sure I loved it until seeing this crossbody. 

11. A soft as can be PJ set (top & bottom $37 for both!) you can also lounge all morning in. Since you DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE LUNCHES OR DO DROP OFF. ha (or this one)

12. The perfect time to upgrade your sheet game. Simple white sheets with a simple seam that comes in lots of colors. 

13. Alexandre Birman bows are just the cutest. These espadrilles seem easy to throw on and feel great in. Love the red with navy, black, and white dresses and outfits. 

14. The chicest woven bag that can hold everything but also looks refined enough for a dinner out.
