3 Must-Have Spring Essentials

My top three spring essentials for quick (everyday) style is hands down my favorite outfit. 
See above 🙂
So many have asked about this look since it was featured on liketoknow.it’s instagram. 
Well, I broke it down for ya and provided some similar (affordable) options below… 
 
__ 
1 // The distressed baggy or retro fit jean
 
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

I’m obsessing over all the cool girlfriend/boyfriend style jeans. The classic high waisted fits are also amazing and instantly makes an outfit refreshing. 
2 // A Crisp White Shirt w/ a Personality
 
 
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

I’m all for a regular white t-shirt, but to elevate your baggy denim, a more sophisticated white top just makes it. Reach for one with some personality – like ruffles, lace or bell sleeves.
Plus, white is so clean – makes it easy to add more color and it also helps you look tan 🙂
3 // Tassel Party 
 
 
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

I’ve talked about my love for tassels before, but guys they are not going away from Spring.
From sandals, to bags and dresses these simple and really cute additions make it FUN.
Hi, I like to join the FUN tassel party please. These items I’ve chosen are at a variety of price points – we all can have a blast.

 

5 Things

1 // Embroider ALL the Things
Spring is all about fun prints and embroidery is literally taking over.
From bags, tops, dresses to denim you can find a piece that fits your personal style.
Here are some of my favorites:

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

2 // Ryan AdamsPrisioner 
It’s not really a surprise how good this album is.
But after transcending Taylor Swifts 1989 album, we needed some solid Ryan Adam originals.
If you haven’t heard it yet, do yourself a favor.
Title track is my fav.

3 // Gray Malin – Kauai Photos
The iconic photographer tackles the Hawaiian islands and SURPRISE gives me major Kauai withdrawls. He’s quickly becoming a classic style with aerials and balloon photos at amazing locations. I think this one would go reallllyyy well in our master bath 🙂

Two of my favorite foods of all time combined.
Genius!

Our (because my husband is a super coffee nerd) favorite local coffee.
Not only are the dudes and the families behind this brand the sweetest, their dedication and constant need for making the best damn coffee is evident and completely admiring.
Buy their beans, ya’ll! You’ll be hooked.

Far from Ordinary with Kate Spade New York

Take something and make it yours.
Like this beautiful black/white stripe dress with tassels from Kate Spade New York…
I’m not one for heels on the regular, so sure I’ll grab my Old Navy sneaks that were like $10 bucks.
I’ll add some camel color, because sometimes “too much black” is a thing.
I’ll reach for my navy Fossil watch, since that would not be the traditional choice and topped it off my favorite Foster Grant sunnies and swipe or two of Burberry Lip Velvet.
Ready to tackle Monday my way.
Have a great week, friends.

Weekend Wants

Weekend Warrior

Weekends are seriously my jam.
With having Fridays off with Hudson, I get some solid mama and babe time, but I also hit the chores hard during nap time.
That way we have most of Saturday and Sunday to do whatever we want…
Like bike rides to the Farmer’s Market, brunch at our favorite spot, maybe Disney.

Either way odds are my new high top Vans and Fossil bag will be along for the ride.

5 Things

5 Things | Work Your Closet
1 // Who What Wear for Target
Been on the hunt for some mules and to be honest, the thought of the style is kinda daunting. They slip off – so hard to run in. And the heel, is it necessary!? Well, I bit the bullet and bought these crochet style mules from the Who What Wear line and they are so cool. Still not my everyday shoe, but a nice alternative and I feel cool 🙂

2 // The “IT” Bag – Cult Gaia
All the stylish blogger babes are holding this piece of art.
I must say, I’m drooling over it too.  It’s stunning and surprise – more affordable than you would think!

I saw Damsel in Dior used this app, so I immediately checked it out.
It’s a free app with upgrades but the bare bones helps you plan out your insta feed.
From a visual point perspective it’s perfect, but if you want all the bells and whistles it can provide analytics and scheduling tools.
Fellow friends, this app is a must have

4 // FLORIDA
The lovely Anna Bond just finished this and I love it.
You can buy it soon online.
Might just make it’s way into Hudson’s room or possibly the half bath.
Stay tuned.

I always find myself gravitating to New York jewelry brands.
I mean look at these!?

 

Spring Styles for Less w/ Nordstrom Rack

Sooo the new Nordstrom Rack in Winter Park is now open.
It’s conveniently located next to the nicest (and newest) Whole Foods and approximately 1 mile from my office.

Anywho, the store is super nice and as always you can count on Nordstrom Rack for killer deals on the brands you love for everyone in your family!

I scored this Free People top, Hudson Jeans and Top Shop heels for $180 – which is the original cost of these jeans alone. Just the kind of spring to put in my step 🙂
