Style Guide: Spring Shopping Guide All Under $100


I'm so ready to do some Spring shopping! I'm loving the linen trend this season like the Urban Outfitters linen midi skirt. I'm also craving some boho vibes like the American Eagle wide leg jumpsuit. I have also taken in consideration more nursing friendly features like wrap dresses and button up tops. Now if only the weather will get on board with my mood.

What is on your must have Spring list?

Style Guide: Spring Kicks


I know it's been a minute since I posted but this winter has left me unmotivated to do any sort of outfit photos. We had four Noreasters in one month! I mean seriously, I'm ready for Spring weather! With hopefully warmer weather on the way and a baby boy soon to arrive, I really am in the mood to go Spring shopping. Including getting some new Spring inspired sneakers. I'm loving all the pinks and florals for the season. With the new season here I'm feeling a bit more refreshed and ready to start up again. So I'm back with my picks for some spring kicks. With having a baby on the way new sensible sneaks that I can throw on and go for walks with him are heavily on my must have list. I'm obsessed with the Keds x Rifle Paper Co. collection. I love the brightly colored floral sneaks to the palm leave sneaks. Another must have on my list has been the pink llama Soludos sneaks! They are just so adorable. For something more usual and everyday I love the mustard yellow Vans. I haven't worn a pair of Vans since college. I mean that is pretty much literally all I wore. I had so many different pairs and I think its time for pair.

I might be back, but I'm def. not back in the New York groove. When I got back to the city the weather wasn't so great...so I tried as much as I could to keep up the tropical feeling as much as possible. Which meant throwing on my Hawaiian shirt from Honolua Surf Co. and tropical print pants. Thankfully the weather is starting to become more like summer...finally.

When I was kid my mom use to dress me in little Easter dresses. We'd go to church then have Easter dinner #1 at my grandma's and then Easter dinner #2 at my aunts. My cousin and I would split hard boil eggs (he ate the white and I ate the yokes). Then I'd go home and chow down on my chocolate bunnies. There are somethings I still look forward to on Easter: 1. hollow chocolate bunnies 2. Easter dresses. This past Sunday was perfect weather. More like summer then it was Spring. And I couldn't have been more thrilled since I got to breakout this dress from Zara. Perfectly ruffled and perfectly tented.

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

There are days when I realize that I can be walking billboard for a brand. This was one of those days. Madewell top, jeans, and trench (not pictured). I love brands that make me feel comfortable and confident. Jeans that don't give me the butt gap...shoes that don't hurt my feet (thanks Dansko!)...It's so hard to find either of these things now, so when I find companies that fit right and feel right then I can't help but be loyal.

What are your favorite brands?

This Spring hasn't been the weather I've been waiting for. It's been chilly and wet...and not appropriate for all of my planned Spring outfits. Instead of letting Mother Nature dampen your Spring outfits a simple and quick solution is the t-shirt dress paired with light wash skinny jeans and a trench jacket. Light wash skinny jeans keep your legs looking long and the outfit looking airy. While the timeless trench keeps you looking warm and chic. Pair with neutral flats or pump up the height with a pair of heels.

If you are looking to upgrade your Spring wardrobe with a chic sophistication turn to Parisian style. Parisian's are known for their timeless yet easy style. There are six staples that you will need in your closets to pull off this femme parisienne style.

1. Trench Coat. Timeless and always chic, a trench coat can pull you from work week to weekend. 
2. Striped Tee. Go for a linen loose fitting stripped tee for a casual cool look. 
3. Light Wash Skinny Jeans.
4. Bandana. Skip the neck jewels this spring and opt for a paisley print bandana.  
5. Neutral Bag. 
6. Adidas. Cool Parisian girls know how to rock a pair of sneaks. Of course Adidas are the brand of choice.

Inspirational Monday: Spring Shopping List


This past weekend's weather has me so ready for Spring. It doesn't help that my husband and I are planning a small weekend away and our big vacation of the year...now all I want to do is shop for Spring/Summer. I'm really loving all of Anthrologie and J.Crew's new arrivals.

What are you guys eyeing for the new season?

Spring, Summer, and Fall are my favorite seasons. We got super lucky this winter season as it was a really mild one. The transition into Spring was a pretty easy one even though some days have been warmer then others. With the temperatures reaching 70s some days (70s back into 50s is just a total tease) I have been in the mood for some Spring dresses. As much as I love total day dresses I also wanted a dress that I could wear all the time: weekday and weekend. This Madewell dress had just that, it has an ease to it that can be dressed up with a pair of heels for work (as seen above) or dressed down with some sneaks for a weekend look. Plus this 100% cotton jean material is super soft and lightweight so it can easily be taking from Spring to Summer.

What are you craving this Spring?

Here are some other Spring dresses that I'm currently eyeing:

I've teamed up with Boohoo (once again!) for their very first USA campaign, #WeAreUSA. Every woman has a story and every outfit makes up our story. I'm a bit of free spirit, which I get it from my mama. My style is just like me, I wear what I feel most comfortable in. During the Spring/Summer I feel at most free, especially with my style. I love frolicking on the beach or the grass with a boho style loose dress. And living each moment with the sun on my skin.

How to Wear a Little Black Dress In the Spring


This Spring might be all about the LWD (Little White Dress), but lets be real the LBD is a classic that won't ever be toss aside. Plus, throwing anything black aside for a season is like a crime in New York. To make a LBD work in the Spring, work one into your wardrobe that has a light texture to it like eyelets (like this one), mesh (this one), or even a light crochet dress (and this one). These textures help give a light airy feeling. Continue this feeling through out the whole by adding pops of colors through your accessories, whether it's a colorful bag, jewelry, or shoes. Make sure not to do over do it with the colors, choose your one item to really be your statement maker.

How I Wore the Look:

I've had this crochet Zara dress for a couple of seasons now. I love breaking it during the Spring, as it light, feminine, and fun to pair with brighter colors. I kept my lipstick for my day look pretty neutral as I did a bold necklace, I didn't want the two to fight for the spot light. The LBD in the Spring works for the office and those Spring/Summer wedding

How do you wear the LBD during the Spring?

Wear the Trend: Lace Up Flats


Last Spring was all about the lace up heels this season the trend is back with a different twist. As much as I love my heels, I also like to throw on a chic pair of flats and go. These lace up flats add a chic flair to a similar pair of flats. The best thing about this trend is that you don't have to spend a lot to get this trend, two of my favorite pieces are from Jessica Simpson Zeena Flat and my newly added sandals from Necessary Clothing. You can easily transition this trend from work week to the weekend.

Summer is all about the easy breezy looks. The lace up flat adds a touch of casual thoughtfulness to a look. Add a lace up sandal to complete a boho look; tunic top and cutoff shorts. This look is perfect for a stroll in the neighborhood or for brunch with friends.

Nothing says spring like printed pants and pastels! Take this trend to work by pairing the lace up flat with cropped printed pants and this summer's it pastel colors.  These sandals are a bit casual, so to dress them up keep the rest of your look office appropriate. These are even perfect to wear to just get you to work, a lot more chic then just wearing flats or a pair of sneaks to the office.

Are you digging this trend as much as I am?
