Happy Spring!
(I’m in denial that it is now like 30 degrees outside when it was 80 last week. Its SPRING, dagnabit!)
I think I need this top. With white jeans? Spring perfection!!
Oh. My. Lace. What would you pair this with? Mint green skinny jeans? A maxi skirt?
I love the cut and color of this blazer!
This dress is gorgeous. Just perfection.
Now THIS top would look amazing with white jeans!
Hello!!! This is under $9!
I got to go on a date! Woot! I threw on some jewelry to dress up the ruffled navy sweater and jeans I was wearing! The top is from Loft (two years ago) and the jeans are from 7 for All Mankind. Shoes are open-top clogs from Target and the purse is Coach. All the jewelry is from the Banana Republic Outlet – it was all on the clearance rack and was an additional 40% off, so I think the bracelets and earrings added up to about $10!

On Friday I was out running a gazillion errands, but with the warm weather I was able to pull out the short sleeves! The necklace is from the adorable etsy store, KJane.

Thursday I went to a sneak preview of Mirror Mirror (which was WONDERFUL) so I kept it casual in jeans and a gray blouse – and I added a punch of color with this neon watch by Guess!

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you but I am so so happy its Friday. Let’s celebrate by looking at pretty dresses.
Oh-la-la!! J’adore!
Now THIS is a shirt dress.
The color! The fit! The bow! GORGEOUS!
This is beautiful. Love the gradual color change, the tiers…
Oh, dresses are one of the best parts of spring, aren’t they???
Saturday, I was pampered into a little puddle of Melissa by Therapon!
Jo-Lynne hosted a lovely little spa morning with Therapon skin care at a local hotel. It was fabulous. We had manicures, mimosas, mini-facials by Therapon and makeup by Ulta!

My facial was divine. I love the NuPeel Natural Enzyme Peel – instead of using ebrasives, NuPeel relies upon natural enzymes to gently loosen dead skin cells, evening skin tone and allowing make-up to go on smoother. My skin felt amazing after she used it! Then I headed over to get my makeup done my the girls from Ulta. They did an amazing job!
Jo-Lynne took a great picture of me tweeting that shows you how pretty and springy my nails are!
It was such a lovely time of relaxing and chatting with friends.
Thanks Therapon and Jo-Lynne for a wonderful morning! Can we have more events like this please? Maybe every week?
Linking up with the Best of Beauty linky!
We’re going to the beach! We’re going to the beach! Not just any beach, you guys!
JAMAICA!
*insert happy dance*
I’m dreaming of beaches. Literally, since we’re going to Beaches Negril! WOOT!!!
Words cannot even describe how excited we are! Its going to be awesome!! The kids are going crazy – they all learned to snorkel recently and they are dying to snorkel with actual fish instead of in the pool at the Y 😉
So! On to one of my favorite parts of travel. GETTING NEW OUTFITS FOR THE TRIP! (Am I right, ladies?)
I need some beachwear. STAT. Preferably with polka dots. How cute is that suit? Love the polka dots!! Its so glam and just a little retro! And the neckline would be a nice change from my usual halter.
This is an amazing coverup! So beachy!!
Repeat after me – the only acceptable place to wear a romper when you are over the age of 1 is as a beach coverup. Got it? Good.
Personally, I don’t think a romper is up my alley. But if I was to get one, it would totally be chic – like this cute one!
Last week everyone was swooning over the gorgeous striped maxi dress that unfortunately was really pricey. But look! I found a cheaper version!
Oh, I love, love, love, LOVE THIS DRESS from JCP! And its only $45!
It is like 70 degrees outside. Can I get a “WOO-HOO”??? A burst of spring weather is like a balm for the soul, isn’t it? Now I’m dreaming of tank tops, flip flops, and dresses….
Let us begin.
The much anticipated Marni for H&M collection debuted this week and it is so amazing. My favorite piece? This lovely top! I love mustard, but can not wear it with my coloring. With it being in the back, I could totally pull this top off!
How comfy-casual-chic would this sweater be with a white maxi skirt? (and its 20% off with code ONNEW20)
And guess what I bought this week? If you guessed COBALT SKINNY JEANS you are SO RIGHT!!!
Sorry. Swooning over here…. LOVE!
How cute is a white blazer? Especially when paired with the brights that are everywhere this season – its perfect!
Happy March!
I wore this to lunch with my husband’s co-workers. Can I just say how much I LOVE my red jeans!!??! I wear these all the time! (They are red. I swear. My husband had set the camera to all these settings I couldn’t figure out how to undo, which is why I look slightly orange.)
sweater: boyfriend cardigan from Old Navy (mine was clearance for $5!( {buy it here}
blouse: very old, from Old Navy {similar here}

Happy March!
(Did you know Colin’s birthday in March? I do! Because he’s reminded me approximately ten times already! And its only March 2nd!)
Lets talk fashion.
1. Ruffled Oska Dress
This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Perfection in a dress.
2. Antipasto, Present and Future Dress
I haven’t really gone the color blocking route, but this could convince me. I love the draping! And I love the colors! Its so different… but still subtle enough to wear anywhere.
3. Blue on blue…
Okay. I totally love this. But I wonder if I’d have the guts to wear so much color! I’m normally more of a “black with gray” kind-a girl who occasionally throws in a pop of color. I’d be so much more likely to pair that shirt with jeans and those blue pants with a white top. What say you? Is it too much blue?
4. Cowl Neck Shirred Dress
I will wear this dress on a beach this summer. Oh, yes, I will!!!
5. Coral Blazer
I will be buying this outfit for BlogHer. Isn’t it perfect?
Happy Leap Year!
Friday was a seriously yucky day outside – cold, rainy, generally icky. Plus, Ellie was having a sleepover party for her birthday that night, so I had a ton to do! So I want to be just be comfy as I got all my work done. I wore my favorite jeggings, with a sweater tunic from H&M and a pashmina. It was perfect for the day! My little man is wearing his favorite Star Wars shirt from Old Navy.
