missoni







Flashback to spring of my sophomore year in high school and the memory of my first two pairs of pumps in buttercup and lilac.  Needless to say, I was over the moon in shoe heaven.  Yes, it was likely a bit of an Easter parade moment but it was the start of my pastel obsession all the same.  I've been a soft color queen for as long as I can remember which is one of the many reasons I love spring.  And while bubble gum pink, turquoise and mint green have since been replaced with the more subtle shades of blush, sea glass and nude, I love the colors and the memories just the same.  There's also something ultra feminine about these colors.  From lips and eyes to handbags and heels, the beautiful possibilities are endless.  This monogrammed tote is probably the best example of that.  I designed this one to best capture the vibe I feel all summer with gentle taupes, blonde leather straps and a pink and white monogram.  If you're more of a nautical lover, trend setter or a classic girl, there are countless combos for everyone.  Not only that, the price points are unbelievably right...this one is under $200.  More great finds are linked below with plenty of inspo for soon to be spring.  Hope everyone is ready for the weekend...I know I am!  Wishing you all a fun Friday!

Feeling all kinds of shades of blush, nude and happily gray, these colors are some of the latest loves I can seem to get enough of.  Lucky for me, the options for each are plenty which makes for so many fantastic shopping opportunities…perfect for perking up a Monday morning!  This handbag is on top of my major wish list right now.  The feminine structure and sweet pink shade give it tremendous ladylike appeal and it's wearability with so many of my favorite fall outfits make it even more irresistible.  Love it.  I just spied these shoes and cannot wait to give them a try.  The color, the fabric and (of course!) the lace-up appeal are all equally amazing.  Faux fur vests are always on repeat in my closet come fall and this one is shaping up to be the latest add.  I love its color and the oh so soft feel it has.  I'll try pairing mine with this suede button front skirt from this earlier post and these boots.  So perfect for fall.  Loving this first fast of fall I'm feeling…how about you all?  Have a happy Monday and thanks for stopping by!

For as long as I can remember I've always thrilled at packing a beach bag.  From my childhood summers spent poolside with my family to current weekends enjoyed at the beach, my love for summer frivolity hasn't changed.  What you'll find in my beach bag, however has come a long way.

While it's never been hard to find a beach bag I love, it's sometimes a challenge to find that cute bag that also loves the beach.  Problem solved thanks to Kate Spade.  This Francis Tote is not only adorable but extremely sun and sand friendly as well.  Both see through and waterproof, this bow adorned beauty makes lost times and stains and spills a thing of the past.

So, here are the must-have items I'll be tossing in my bag all summer long…

1. sunnies 

 2. Missoni bikini {on sale!}

  3. Supergoop sunscreen  

4. straw fedora

 7. Living in Style by Rachel Zoe 

 8. YSL rouge volupte

 9. wide tooth comb
