Weekend Wants
Toss Up
T-shirt and jeans are easy, but a maxi might have them beat.
This super soft easy breezy number is a spring/summer go-to.
Sometimes you just need something care-free, and this outfit is just that.
All you gotta do is smile.

5 Things
The perfect mix of casual with some major #colorcrush
Blush tones are on a high.
And good news, the prices are low.

2 // City & Colour
A band that will forever remind me of my husband.
And probably within my top 5 groups that I would travel far for.
We’ve seen them in San Francisco and Tampa.

Luckily, they are in our backyard tonight (well, not literally.)
And I’m GIDDY to see them with him yet again.
3 // Londontown Nail Color
A local salon only uses Londontown Lakur and the last time I got my nails done by them it lasted for weeks. It was so impressive for NOT being a gel.
It’s also a healthy alternative to some other nail polish brands.
I’ll probably never give up my Essie’s BUT this brand is welcome change.
4 // #GOODVIBESVOLUME
In all honestly, these bras are the only ones I wear.
The lace plunge is on heavy rotation right now, but they are all insanely comfortable.
They just launched a #goodvibesvolume

Plus, I’ve got a discount code for you all: AMB-WORKYOURCLOSET to get $10 off your order til 3/28.
5 // Aēsop
We stopped at Oxford Exchange this weekend and I about fell to the floor when I saw their new Aēsop display. I’ve been jones’n pretty hard for their stuff.
Well, mid-lunch, my husband gets up and comes back with a sack of their soap.
SCORE!
It’s far from cheap, but the bottles are so sleek and the smell is literally intoxicating.
My kind of Kate Spade New York
For the longest time Kate Spade New York, to me, was the “bag brand.”
I would never consider buying clothes or accessories from them.
I’m not a super dressy gal and now that my 9 to 5 has totally changed… not to mention being a mom, my sense of style has continuously evolved into a more casual/coastal vibe.
However, working with Kate Spade New York has been a total dream and has truly pushed me to get even more creative when it comes to 1) mixing high and low brands and 2) making more dressy items work for me.
This top is a classic white – comfortable as all get out and has the coolest flutter sleeve.
I paired it with my favorite denim as of late (boyfriend style AF jeans – super cheap!) and finished it up with comfortable (but flashy) flats and definitely the most gorgeous bag I’ve ever seen.
This my fellow fashion friends is a DOABLE outfit and it’s proof to me that it doesn’t matter where you shop – if you love the piece get it! You’ll find a realistic way to wear it.

Holy Heels
I thought I needed to add some “dressy” outfits to the blog.
But by no means take this for my everyday wear – I’m a sneaker or boot kinda gal.
These are my wedding heels though, so I do like to break them out from time to time.
Good memories these gold heels hold.

5 Things
1 // Magnolia Journal
It deserves all the hype. I just got the first issue and I love it.
From the quality of the paper stock (nerd alert), layout and design, to actual content it’s a keeper.
Can’t wait for the next issue.
PS. This would be a great Mother’s Day gift idea.

2 // Amber Interiors Shop
Everything I’m loving for the home right now, takes me back to Amber Interiors.
The coastal, boho – laid back vibe is consistently calling my name.
I love the mudcloth style pillows, rustic wood pieces and succulent plant life.
I could get lost in her Instagram feed for hours.

3 // Tula Night Cream
A new skincare line that uses (get this!) probiotic technology.
I’ve tried countless night creams – mostly to keep my skin moisturized and help with dark spots or fine lines – but my problem is I never stick to it. Most the time they come in teeny tiny (expensive) bottle that last about a week and then I’m on to the next more affordable thing.
But so far I’m sticking with Tula Overnight Skin Rescue Treatment and here’s why:
1. It’s a big container and will last me for months (score!)
2. No phthalates, parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, propylene glycol, DEA, TEA, sulfates, synthetic fragrance or gluten. Cruelty free. Vegan.
3. I seriously feel like I just had a facial the minute I wake up. My skin feels more supple and moisturized.

4 // Our Heiday
Hands down one of my favorite stationery brands.
From note cards, to iPhone cases to art prints – these floral and whimsy designs are a true delight and make sending cards all the more beautiful.
5 // Disney Springs
Formerly known as “Downtown Disney” Disney Springs is now a total hot spot.
It has the Disney twinkle but less madness than a park.
Plus, with new shops like Kate Spade, Free People, American Threads and Kiehl’s (which just opened!) it’s a stunning outside mall that will gladly take all your money.
And a Sprinkles cupcake ATM doesn’t hurt either.
Well, maybe your teeth.
