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.)

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.

Pink & White Spring Time

Spring is officially in full swing in most places. This past weekend I put together what I'm thinking will probably be my last look with a jacket for a while. (Other than a jean jacket because those don't count.)

I have been obsessed with this jacket since I got it a few weeks ago. I have been loving it with black denim, but wanted to style it with something different. I was going to pair it with a white dress but it was a little on the cooler side last weekend. Since I thought I would need jeans I thought why not do a white on white look with this jacket on top? I was immediately in love! I hope there are a few more cool days so I can repeat this outfit. If not I'll just wear the jeans and tank to dinner one night and bring the jacket since FL restaurants are always FREEZING! haha 

Let's also take a minute to talk about this tank. I am always searching for basic tanks and this one is great! I currently have it in black and white, (shocker I know!) but I think I need more colors. Maybe smokey blue or pacific coral? Maybe both? It's just such a great piece to have in your closet.

What are everyone's plans this weekend? I am doing something fun for the wedding. Follow my on instagram to see what. 

Thank y'all so much for stopping by. It really means so much! 

Blushing

I am so excited to be sharing these shorts with y’all today! 

I ordered them a couple weeks ago for TPC and have been wearing them nonstop since! Every time I post them on Insta I get a TON of questions about them! They are just so cute! I love the simplicity of pairing them with a white tank and flats, but you could style them multiple ways!  They would look really cute with wedges for a night out or if you want a more casual look you could throw on your favorite chambray shirt. See what I mean? The possibilities are endless! I sized up to a large for 2 reasons.

1. Medium wasn’t available and I needed them ASAP!

2. I HATE when my shorts are tight. I think I could have gotten away with the medium, but the large work too! I want to find more shorts like this in all the colors!! I’m thinking olive and maybe a dusty blue. I’ll keep y’all posted if I find those colors. For now I’ll just be wearing these nonstop!

How’s everyone’s April going so far? Its only day 2 but mine has been pretty busy! Thank y’all for stopping by and reading! I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

P.S. These would be a really cute Easter outfit if you are keeping things a little more on the casual side! 

Par for the Course (pt 2)

Tuesday I shared a great romper and short outfit for TPC; today I’m sharing what I think is everyone’s go to… dresses. I have two great options to share with you today that are also from Fig & Willow. They are both very different, but I think they are both perfect for a day at TPC.

Let’s kick things off with this stripe option. This one is a little preppy, but really lends itself to a day on the course. I love how easy and effortless it is, and how it instantly makes you look put together. The easy shape of the dress is great; however, if you’ve followed me for a while you know the stripes are what really drew me in. I’m typically a more vertical stripe kind of gal, but this dress caught my eye and just had TPC written all over it. If I wasn’t already sold on the colors, stripes & silhouette it also has POCKETS!! Anything with pockets is an automatic purchase in my book. This is just the ultimate outfit for Friday, Saturday or Sunday at TPC.

This next dress is a little more casual and extremely effortless. If I had to describe my everyday style I would say casual but put together. As soon as I put this dress on I knew it was so ME. This is a great option for The Players because you don’t have to worry about wind, as it’ a bit longer, however, you don’t have to worry about tripping or holding up a maxi length dress either. (#ShortGirlProblems) It will also allow you to sit without giving anyone a show. The best part is that it’s really lightweight which is great since it should be pretty warm out there this weekend. For all these reasons this is exactly what you will find me wearing at the tournament tomorrow.

Sandals Outfit 1: Steve Madden old (similar here, here & here) | Sandals Outfit 2: Steve Madden (mine are the cognac color) | Sunnies: Lulu's | Lipstick: Taste Lipsurgence in Wonder (Wonder is no longer available. Enchanted looks pretty similar.)

Both of these will look great with flats, simple jewels and sunnies. I would also recommend a hat. (Great for keeping the sun off your face, which is always important.) I usually go with a baseball hat since floppy hats can be a challenge to keep on. However, if you can keep a bigger hat on I say you should rock it girlfriend!

Are you heading to TPC this weekend? Have my posts helped?

If you are interested in either of these dresses or the pieces from Tuesday head to Fig & Willow in Atlantic Beach. You are sure to find something cute for TPC and maybe even a nice gift for Mom.

I hope y’all have a great weekend and thanks for reading.

Huge thank you to Fig &Willow for helping me find so many great options for TPC.

Spring Stripes

Y’all, I’m finally getting around to posting some photos from my trip to Mexico. I wanted to start with this blue & white stripe top from Nordstrom, because I noticed stock was getting low.

If you’ve followed me for a while you know how much I love blue and white stripes, especially in spring/summer. I was browsing Nordstrom before my trip, and this guy immediately caught my eye. I love the silhouette of the shirt almost as much as the colors. It’s also under $40, which is a total steal in my book. It’s such an easy throw on and go to piece; which are essential to summer wardrobes. I feel like there’s always last minute brunch invites, and vacations that you need pieces like this for, so that you don’t have to put much thought into. I will be pairing it with white jeans and shorts all summer long.

I’ve linked a few similar options since there is such limited sizing in the actual top.

What are your favorite Spring/Summer pieces? I’ll be sharing another great piece on Thursday.
I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Today I'm linking up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels, The Fashion Canvas, & Lauryn Cakes for the Trend Spin Linkup.
