LWD & pom-pom sandals

LWD + embellished sandals

Happy Friday!  Today's #OOTD is inspired by these amazing sandals I just received in the mail.  I contemplated buying them a while back when I saw them at Shopbop, but by the time I decided to buy them they sold out in my size.  Then I became obsessed with getting them and thankfully found them in stock at Avenue32 (first-time purchase from them - quick shipping and super cute packaging!)  As soon as I opened the box I fell in love.  They are super embellished and fun and different.  I mean, they have pom poms!  (I also love these, these, these and these are under $100.)  I regret not buying this dress during Shopbop's 25% off sale, but I was too overwhelmed and couldn't decide what to buy!  I did pick up this Free People jacket I've been coveting and these One Teaspoon shorts since I live in bandits all summer (plus, I'm pretty sure I've said in the past, 'if it has hearts on it, I will buy it').  I think overall I made the right decision.  This little white dress though is the perfect LWD.  It looks easy breezy and it's off-the-shoulder, which is a bonus!

Happy shopping!

sunshine tunic

 







 {Free People Easy Girl Printed Top in 'Sunshine Combo';
7 For All Mankind Slim Illusion Skinny (similar);
Matiko Fringe Sandal (new colours here, similar here - last day to save 25%!);
hat: Urban Outfitters (similar here);
sunglasses: Prada}
 
A tunic called 'sunshine'?  Sold!  It doesn't hurt it's under $100 and has awesome bell sleeves.  This tunic is perfect for spring.  It's flowy and bright and has a beautiful floral print, which I think is required for spring.  Because I'm petite, I paired it with dark skinny jeans and heels, but I'll also be rocking it sans pants when it gets even warmer.  It'll be perfect for beach days & nights.

shopbop friends & family sale

shopbop sale

It's that time of year again, shopbop's friends & family sale where you save 25% off everything (including sale items!), using code INTHEFAM.  If you are on the email list you could've started shopping yesterday (a day earlier than everyone else), but it took me almost all day to try to decide on what to buy!  I ended up wanting to sleep on it and today most of the things I wanted have sold out!  Luckily, I have a lot of 'hearts' to choose from and I thought I would share some of my hearts.

Happy shopping!

folk town

gladiator sandals: ZARA (similar here);

We're back from Disney and I'm exhausted.  We ended up stuck in traffic the whole way home, but we had a great time, as always.  We went to the beach before we left and although it was warm, it was super windy.  This dress was flying all over the place!  It's a great dress for a walk on the beach.  I brought it with me to Disney but it was way too hot to wear it.  But I'll be living in this dress all year round.  It's SO comfortable and the print is beautiful.  This dress is supposed to be a midi dress, and I was unsure how it would look on me, but I'm so happy with the way it fits (you could also belt it for more shape).  It's more of a maxi dress on me and I'm perfectly happy with that.  Plus, I have the option of wearing it with flat sandals, which is always a bonus.

#OOTD / blushing beauty

blushing beauty


Today's #OOTD was inspired by Easter.  Blush is such a pretty colour.  You might only pick one of these pieces but I LOVE a monochrome look.  When you do monochrome, you can look really put together, or look like a hot mess.  I don't think you can really do wrong with blush though.  This floral dress is perfect for spring and would be great for Easter.  It's a dress so obviously appropriate for the occasion, but it looks like it would be very comfortable to wear all day.  This BlankNYC jacket is SO pretty (it's under $100!), but it's already heating up in the South so I don't think I'd get much use out of a jacket.  (I'm also obsessing over this AllSaints one, this one and this one is also super pretty.)  I'm more of a cardigan / kimono kind of girl.  I'll be living in this Free People cardigan that I bought last year, which is now on sale!  I'm also obsessing over these mules.  There are so many great mules out there, I'm having a hard time deciding on one pair.  These might be it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend / Easter!  We'll be spending it with my cousin and her family who are coming to visit.

lucky lace up




  {Free People Lucky Lace Up Top (comes in 11 colours!);
jeans: Free People (sold out, love these super flare ones and these);
hat: Urban Outfitters (similar here);
sunglasses: Prada} 

Lace up tops are a big trend for spring so they're everywhere and I wanted to make sure I picked the right one.  I'm so happy I ordered this one because it is ah-mazing!  I went with black which is not my go-to but you need to go braless (or you could wear these if going for a lighter colour) and I felt most comfortable with black.  It's super soft and feels as cozy as your basic tee, but has the amazing lace up details.  I was going to pair this top with a button-up skirt, but it was a bit cooler so I went with my favourite Free People flares.

Thanks for stopping by!

ruffled tee & pink bandits





necklace: Coach (old);
Talula Pelham Hat;
gladiator sandals: ZARA (similar here); sunglasses: Prada}

Happy first day of spring!  Friday was a gorgeous day, followed by another gorgeous day on Saturday, with cool, rainy weather for the first day of Spring today (boo).  Not that I can complain too much.  I'm just hoping it's not rainy for when my cousin visits and we go to Disney.  I'm so excited to see what it looks like in Disney.  It's looking so beautiful in Myrtle Beach with all of the flowers blooming.  We saw these flowers and of course had to stop to take pictures.  Great timing with the weather and I was able to wear these pink bandits which I'm obsessed with.  (I always seem to reach for pink when spring is in the air - see last year's post here.)  I'm also obsessed with this white tee from Anthropologie, a tee I feel I've been looking for my whole life.  It's not super fitted and even has ruffles which adds a special touch.  This will basically be my summer uniform.
