Happy Spring

 Sunday was officially the first day of Spring.

We have actually been really lucky and experiencing Spring weather for a couple weeks now.

Since it's Spring you know that means it's time for dresses. 

I already shared a bunch of dresses in this blog post, but I love a few so much I thought they deserve their own spot on the blog.

Let's start with this one.

I immediately fell in love with this dress when I saw it online. I loved the color, the fit, EVERYTHING.

I knew it would also work while I have the bump and after. Since I'm getting to the end of my pregnancy that is something that is important to me while shopping. I'm trying to buy things that will work now and after I have baby girl. 

This piece really gives me garden party vibes and I absolutely love it. 

It would work for brunch, a wedding, baby shower, the list really goes on and on. I think I'm actually going to wear it to my friends shower this weekend. 

Let's also take a minute to talk about these shoes! 

They are total Dolce Vita dupes for under $35. They are also insanely comfortable.

I've worn them a few times for 4+ hours and was fine. Would highly recommend if you have a wedding or other event coming up where you'll be on your feet for a while.

Dress: Red Dress Boutique (similar option here) | Shoes: Target | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Purse: Tory Burch | Necklace: Electric Picks | Earrings: Target | Lips: NYX Waterproof Lip Liner in Nude Suede Shoes with Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick & Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in Pillow Talk

What are you looking forward to most this Spring? 

I'm honestly just really enjoying the Spring weather. 

It's been so nice lately and I'm really hoping to get outside and enjoy it this weekend. I have been so busy with cleaning, baby showers, weddings, etc. I think this Saturday I want to get to the beach early and just relax with my book and get some vitamin D before it gets too hot! 

Spring in the West Village

 This was one of the best days of my recent trip to NYC.

It started out as a beautiful, sunny spring day so I decided to wear this dress. I knew I would be walking a lot so I decided to pair it with my favorite white sneakers. And let me just say that I'm glad I also threw on my leather jacket because it turned super cold and rainy just a little bit later. 

I met my best friend up town and we decided to venture down to the West Village for lunch. The West Village is so beautiful and I could get lost for hours just wandering the streets. There's so many pretty brownstones, cute shops and yummy restaurants. That's actually exactly what we did this day. There was a wait at the restaurant we wanted to eat at so we put our name on the list and just started walking around and popping into random shops. 

If you ever find yourself in NYC you have to spend some time here. 

And if you're hungry definitely check out Via Carota. That's where we ate and it was AMAZING!! We also may or may not have seen Jake Gyllenhaal. (Another friend later told us that apparently it's a hot spot for celebs.) 

Dress: H&M | Jacket: Topshop old (similar here & here) | Shoes: Nike | Sunnies: Quay Australia | 

Lips: LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm

I do want to take one more minute to talk about this outfit. 

I actually love how this outfit turned out. I don't think this is how I originally styled this dress in my mind, but it definitely works. I love when that happens.

My best friend also reminded me of how I always used to wear sneakers with my dresses when we were interns and he would make fun of me. Now it's super trendy. If you're looking for some sneakers to pair with your dresses (or anything else) I highly recommend these. They are probably one of my most worn shoes.

Spring Gingham

 How freaking fun is this dress? When I was shooting it with my Mom I was like I need to reel it in. All these photos are just going to be of me twirling or throwing my skirt. She was like isn't that the point? And I guess she's right. If you're wearing a dress like this you should have all the fun! 

I love gingham for spring and when I saw this light purple option I just had to have it. I originally planned to bring it with me on my trip to NYC, but the weather had other plans in mind so I shot it before I left. It would have looked so pretty in the park with all the cheery blossoms in the background. (Insert here eye emoji here.)

I also have to take a moment to talk about these sandals. I saw them on another bloggers page and immediately fell in love. (I now can't remember which blogger for the life of me.)

Anyway the pearl detail is so pretty and fun. I will definitely be wearing these all spring & summer long. They go with so much and can really dress up a simple jeans and t-shirt look.

Did I mention that both the dress and sandals are under $25 EACH!! You can literally get this whole outfit for under $45!! Such a good deal! The dress is a total Sundress brand dupe too! 

Dress: Shein (also love this one and this one) | Shoes: Shein | Hat: Shop Sunhoney (Snag this hat ASAP! She has had to restock this thing like 100 times.) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lips: Ulta Automatic Lip Liner in Wild Berry with Buxom Full-On-Plumping Lip Cream in White Russian

Easter Dresses

I can't believe Easter is this weekend. It totally snuck up on me. 

I actually meant to share this post a week or two ago, but I must have missed it on my calendar. If it snuck up on you too, I've got ya covered.

Since Easter is literally 5 days away I've rounded up some dresses that will all make it in time for the holiday. 

Happy shopping!

Denim Jumpsuit

Pink Ruffle Babydoll Dress

Boho Mini Dress

Navy Halter Dress

White Poplin Mini Dress

Spring Dress

Raise your hand if you're ready for spring? 

I feel like today I saw so many people saying how gorgeous the weather was and how spring is just around the corner. I have to say that I would agree 100%! 

It was 65 degrees today and should stay somewhere between that and the low 70's for the next week.

While I do love winter I am definitely excited for spring. 

With a new season comes new outfits. 

This is literally the PERFECT outfit to transition into this next season. 

I like that the dress is a midi so you get a bit more leg coverage, but the slit keeps it sexy and not frumpy. 

The color is also great for spring time. (Y'all know I am a total neutrals gal and gravitate towards black in fall/winter and white for spring/summer.) 

If where you live is anything like Florida you will experience days where it's 45 degrees in the morning and then 75 degrees by the afternoon.

Since that is usually the case I decided to pair it with a suede jacket and booties so I wouldn't freeze, but could easily loose the jacket when it warms up. You could also do a jean jacket as it warms up even more. 

Outfits like this are major key for this time of year.

My dress is sold out, but I feel like this style is so on trend right now I was able to link a ton of similar options.

Dress: Abercrombie sized up to a large like I usually do with body con styles 

and wish I got the medium (similar here, here, here, & here) | Jacket: Nordstrom | Booties: Old (similar here & here) | Hat: Pink Lily | Sunnies: Quay Australia |  Lips: Ulta Automatic Lip Liner in Rosewood with Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick & Lip Lustre Lip Gloss  both in Pillow Talk
