Spring Ahead {Spring 2013 Shopping List}

With a mini snowstorm Friday and 50 degree weekend weather, mother nature seems confused.
March is usually the month where the temperature rises, the sun shines, and birds chirp.
All I can dream about right now is Spring break and warmer weather.
I'm so tired of wearing sweaters and boots. (Never thought I would say that!)
I just want to wear light tops and sandals that show off my pedicure!
While I can't control the weather, I can dream...and shop!
Here are a few items on my shopping list!

Shop!

What's on your spring shopping list?

Summer Lovin'

I'm beyond excited for the warmer months to come!  I only have 30 more days left of school and can't wait to just relax for awhile.  I've been in a little bit of a funk lately, and the only thing that makes me feel better is thinking about summer.  Shopping also has been a source of stress relief recently.  Here are just a few things I've picked up in the past few weeks.

I adore the color blocking of the heels.  They were only $13 on makemechic.com!  Although I will probably get very few chances to wear them, they are great little decor for my room!  The loafers were only $11 and I are a classic piece in any wardrobe.
Shop: {black loafers}

I immediately thought of these J.Crew sandals when I saw these leopard flip flops at Old Navy.  With a price tag of a fraction of the cost of the J.Crew ones, I couldn't pass them up. Obviously they aren't made as well as the J.Crew ones but for the price, I don't mind buying another pair half way through summer.  I also recently picked up a new pair of Sperrys!  I've wanted a pair in this light leather color for a while and when I got a 25% coupon, I knew it was time.
Shop: {flip flops} - P.S. today is the last day of the OldNavy sale -> save 20% off your order with code: ONSAVE20


Both of these pieces are from Old Navy as well.  I saw this color blocked maxi dress and fell in love.  I can't wait to wear it during vacation on the beach or walking around at night.  The cobalt blue is stunning.  I also bought his cobalt blue gingham shirt.  I have been looking for an inexpensive gingham shirt for awhile and was so happy to find one at Old Navy!  It's perfect for spring.
Shop: {gingham shirt}


For summer, I absolutely love anything sailor/nautical.  For that reason, this little sweater is definitely a favorite of mine right now.  I bought it at Love Culture a while ago and have waited so long for the weather to warm up.  I think it will look super cute at the beach at night with cutoffs. 


These two shorts I picked up at J.Crew and cannot wait until summer to wear them!  I'm such a sucker for seersucker! (haha get it?)  But for real, seersucker in the summer is what I live for.  These are a coral/cream striped pair and couldn't be anymore comfortable. And this sailboat pair?  Tell me these aren't the cutest little shorts ever!  Again in this creamy coral color, I can't get enough.
Shop: {seersucker}


And my love for colored denim continues.  I picked up these neon coral color at J.Crew and I've been dying to wear them.  My camera didn't pick up the beautiful color of these pants.  It's just one of those colors the make you happy.  Neon has been seen everywhere for spring and I'm lovin' it.
Shop: {denim}

Lastly, I had to have these neon magenta shorts.  Just the classic 'Chino' shorts from J.Crew, they are the perfect length for anything from school to going out at night.  The color is so bright and so happy and just scream summer to me.
Shop: {shorts}

These two pieces I picked up from Zara.  The first dress I bought for a family party I have next weekend.  It's a chiffon-like material and in a gorgeous cobalt color.  Don't let the look of the dress from the hanger fool you, it looks completely different on.  It was so hard to choose between the blue and ivory color, but the blue just seemed like it had a little more character.  I also picked up this skull tank, which just is so Cochella.  I've recently had a thing with skulls, which is so weird, but I loved the bight colors in this top. I plan on going back to Zara soon because literally I want everything from their spring collection. 
Shop: {dress}

And lastly, I recently decided to join justfab.com to see what they had because I see the commercial for this site many times a day.  Like other website such as StyleMint, it's one of those sites where you are credited each month.  Everything is $39.99 and they carry everything from shoes to clothing to accessories.  For becoming a member, I received a 50% code to use that day.  I found this bag and really liked the color and shape.  It's can be super casual or dressed up a little, which I like.  The quality is okay - is equal to what the price was.  I might try buying some accessories next month and see how they compare to the bag.  Overall, I would recommend it to any friend who's on a budget and likes trendy, cute stuff.

Have you ever tried justfab.com or any similar site?  Let me know!

Coachella Style


{all photos via refinery29.com}
Clock-wise: Alexa Chung, Hillary Kerr, Kate Moss, Kelly Osborne at Cochella 2011

  Coachella is probably the biggest music festival of the year.  It's also a huge fashion hotspot.  I always have admired the 'Coachella style' thats plastered all over fashion blogs about this time of year.  It's so interesting how some people put together outfits and mix and match pieces.  I'm really looking forward to see what everyone is going to wear this year!  So in the spirit of the festival, I thought I would share a little inspiration with some outfits!

Outfit 1 - This Coachella look is more safe played. One that can easily be pulled off by anyone.  I love the color of the crochet flats!  They are super girly and add a pop of color to the outfit!
Shop -
 Top: Lulus.com
Shorts: Top Shop
Necklace: Forever 21

Outfit 2 - This outfit features one trend that I really wish I could pull off - wide leg pants!  They look so effortless and cool paired with a wide brimmed hat and fringed crop-top.
Shop -
Pants: Forever 21
Bracelet: Charlotte Russe
Ring: Top Shop
Sandals: Amazon.com

Outfit 3 - I absolutely love each of these pieces separately.  Together I think they create an outfit that is so 'Coachella'.  The lace dress is perfect for those hot days and the cute hunters are just what are needed for walking in the dirt.

Dress: Nastygal.com
Necklace: Bauble Bar
Headband: Free People
Boots: Piperlime

Spring 2012 Wishlist

Happy spring!  I'm so excited/slightly sad {but more excited!} to put away my thick sweaters and boots for the upcoming seasons!  This week has been super warm: high 70s, low 80s!  It's a huge jump from just being in the 50s, but much needed.  This spring, I'm looking forward to wearing bright colors as well as bringing out my favorite pastel colors.  The spring is the perfect time to experiment with color and wear one you usually wouldn't. And that is exactly what I'm coveting for spring: color!


1. Stella McCartney Long-Sleeve Minidress
2. Michael Michael Kors 'Ikat print silk-blend Pant'3. Topshop 'Squiggle Sequin Dress'
4. Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe in Twill in 'Neon Azaela'

5. NastyGal.com 'Eden Leather Sachel"
6. Dannijo 'Hixon Bib Necklace'
7. Sprout Watches Colorful Bracelet Watch in Green

What are you looking forward to most this spring?

Candies at Kohl's

  I've never really been one to find much a Kohls, but recently after seeing the Candie's ad in numerous magazines, I found some perfect pieces to add into any spring wardrobe!  I love Lea Michele as their new face.  She looks absolutely stunning in the ad, and I think, does a better job of wearing the clothes than Britney Spears.  These are a few of my favorite pieces from their spring collection!

The color-block combo of red and pink was huge on the spring runway!  This dress combines the two colors beautifully.

I absolutely love the print of this dress.  It's perfect for any getaway or even just those lazy days in the summer.  The only thing I would do is swap the belt. 

There is nothing I love more than a black and white print.  These shorts are so adorable and will look great paired with a little touch of neon.

I love, love, love anything fringe!  This bathing suit is super cute and a steal compared to the L*Space version.

Although these shoes are a little crazy, I really love the color and print.  I saw a pair very, very similar at Steve Madden, and kind of fell in love with them.

Looking Forward to Spring!

  Literally all I have been doing has been looking at spring clothes.  The obsession I have with pastels right now is defiantly at an unhealthy level.  Stores are starting to lay out all their spring clothes and I honestly cannot get enough.  Looking at spring clothes has been my consuming my time for the past week.  Here are a few things that I will definitely be adding to my spring wardrobe!

1. Pastel colored denim (or basically anything pastel!)
    Pastels just scream spring to me.  I love this lilac pair from The Gap.  The lilac hugh  will soften any outfit, making it perfect for the beautiful upcoming months.

2.  Light wash cropped denim
  I love a laid-back look with light denim.  A light wash can definitely make an outfit look more casual.  I absolutely adore the length on this pair from Rag & Bone.  It would look amazing with a light sweater and some wedges!

3.  Neon Jewels
I've seriously been drooling over neon jewelry.  I'm usually not the one to wear neon; however I feel like a punch of bright color can make an outfit.  This necklace (which also comes in neon pink!) from Bauble Bar is just beyond words and needs to get into my life.

4. Pleated skirts
  Pleats are so feminine and pleated skirts are so ladylike.  I love this look with a white blouse and some heels.  I am crazy about this color blocked option from Aqua!

5. Crisp white blazers
I saw this Rag & Bone blazer online and immediately thought of so many things I could wear it with!  The beautiful ivory-cream color is perfect for spring to throw over a little dress or casually with jeans.

Let's Getaway...

"A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking."
-- Earl Wilson

  My brain feels like its literally about to explode from the amount of studying I have been doing.  I'm pretty sure that's not normal.  I can't help but to think about February vacation coming up.  Just going to a warmer place is all I covet.  The sand, the sun.  It feels like its so far away!  While nothing can make it come sooner, there's no harm in looking for things to wear!
