OUTFIT {GO BRIGHT OR GO HOME}

J.Crew blazer  //  BB Dakota tank top  //  Sole Society necklace c/o

Henry & Belle jeans c/o  //  J.Crew wedges

These pictures make me so happy! New York is truly in bloom right now — cherry blossom trees, tulips in every color under the sun, and window boxes starting to look alive again. It's perfect inspiration to introduce more color into my life so I started with pairing this hot pink silky tank (under $50!) with this bright orange statement necklace (only $35!). 

I don't usually wear orange as a redhead but I do think affordable costume jewelry is a great place to step a little outside your color comfort zone. Sole Society is definitely best known for their affordable shoes but I was really pleasantly surprised with their jewelry assortment. There are plenty of brights to choose from! This necklace will be just as cute with a blue oxford shirt or a classic striped tee. And I can't wait to replicate this look sans blazer with white jeans for dinner dates this summer. Are you a brights or neutrals kind of girl?

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SUMMER SANDALS!

I tend to wear my shoes into the ground and New York is especially hard on footwear — I feel like I have to replace my shoe wardrobe at the beginning of every season. In addition to these and these (must-haves for weekends in the city!), here's my ultimate guide to the pairs I'm eyeing this summer. Flats, gladiators, heels, t-straps, wedges... You're sure to find something you love!

one  //  two  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six

seven  //  eight  //  nine  //  ten //  eleven  //  twelve

thirteen  //  fourteen  //  fifteen  //  sixteen  //  seventeen  // eighteen

I already own these (everyone should have at least one pair!) and I just purchased these (they. are. perfect!) and these (this season's update to the pair I wore here). I think my next two favorites would be these pretty blue ones and this budget-friendly pair. Maybe the more shoes I buy, the less often I'll have to wear each pair, and the longer they'll all last? ;) Yup, that sounds good to me.

INSTAGRAM UPDATES

You know it's a good mail day when there's a Tory Burch box waiting for you. I'm obsessed with my new crossbody bag and espadrilles!

If you're looking for a new blog to obsess over, you must check out Southern Curls & Pearls. Isn't Caitlin stunning in these turquoise tassel earrings?

We're busy shipping out lots of orders in time for Mother's Day! The smell of these candles is out. of. this. world. 

Last week I attempted to cook dinner for Will and I only set the smoke alarm off once (making pasta... how is that possible?). Perfect excuse to bring out my new napkins and favorite serving platter.

For those who asked, this nail polish is a gel color called Tutti Frutti and my new must for spring. Lots more colorful arm candy here!

A sweet customer (who has a super chic design service!) sent me this photo of her monogrammed desk accessories and I just about passed out from the prettiness. Time to tidy my desk for real. Follow me on Instagram here! 

P.S. Twelve people I love following on Instagram.
