Cute & Classy Spring Stand Outs

Blue & White Shell Maxi – The embroidery design on this light and airy sundress is quite beautiful. Love the light smocked waist.

Blue Lace Set – This might be the cutest little pool day set! Just launched today and I bet it sells quick.

Pink Strappy Dress – Color just makes the mood happy, don’t you think? This is a joyful dress.

White Lace Skirt – Okay this is a new Tnuck arrival and is absolutely stunning with a fun top or just a simple tee!

Black Boucle Jersey Dress – Picture this from travel day to casual dinner. And how FAB with a scarf tied at the waist.

Khaki Drawstring Pants – Super cute and casual for running after kids. Great with a button down or little tank!

Shell Crochet Bag – Always nice to have a conversation piece to help break the ice. This one couldn’t possibly go uncomplemented.

Blue & Red Skirt Set – This just dropped today and I predict it’ll go fast.

Red Stripe Nap Dress – I just ordered this dress – nap dresses can do no wrong.

White Jeans – I own these, they are my number 1 favorite white jeans.

Blue Lace Maxi – When in doubt go with a Me & Em dress, trust!

Blue Gingham Top & Shorts – I picture this at lunch under an umbrella with oversized sunglasses!

Navy Scallop Top – Wear this with the white jeans mentioned above. Done and done.

Stripe Waist Cinch Shirtdress – I have this dress in another color – the really cool think about it is the way the top portion cinches – it looks like two pieces! Super flattering.

** Disclaimer that this post is not hating on in-laws. I hope to be a fun and helpful mother in law myself someday :)

What I’m Wearing:

Wearing: the best white jeans, green linen embroidered top/jacket, black/gold sandals

– When I shared this photo from lunch with Grace and Molly at The Cooper this weekend I got an above average number of questions about my jeans. They’re the mother jeans and they are my favorite most best white jeans.

– I wore this knit sleeveless tank with these shorts last week and am loving the colors.

– I found the cutest tie front dress and it’s only $148. I have the XXS b/c I wanted it to be fitted, but I think it looks really cute on the model in a looser fit as well!

– I wore this cute set for Easter yesterday. I basically want every print.

– Recently wore this long dress (it’s so comfortable) and was reminded why Xirena is just so good at what they do.

What I’m Buying/Eyeing:

Wearing: blue & white floral mini dress, shell charm necklace, leather sandals

– I ordered another color of these flats that I love, this time the very pale pink to pair with spring summer things like white jeans and cotton pants. I’m so excited.

– Last week I wore this blue top and matching blue skirt and it’s the prettiest shade of blue!

– I broke down and ordered this dress. I know you all like it too b/c it was the best seller last week. I am so excited to wear this, preferably with a tan.

– Roller Rabbit just dropped a new pajama print – it’s so cute.

– Got this gorgeous dress for Lilly for Spring Break (we rented a house in Palmetto Bluff for a few days). BTW I made an April Edition of Lilly’s closet round up here in my ShopMy.

What I’m Reading/Watching/Listening To:

Wearing: shell print linen dress

I’ve been enamored by the moon excursion. Truly loving all this content the astronauts are giving us. What joy for humanity.

I circled back to The Pitt and I’m glad I did! I’m on season 2 now, and I’m not going to lie this show is still very stressful, but I’m just in shock at how good the characters and the acting it. It’s a brilliant show.

I’m still reading Beneath and am liking it so much more than I did in the beginning. Not that I didn’t in the beginning, but it’s gotten a lot better!

This Week’s Highlight:

By far the best highlight of the week was seeing Pink Sand Summer being read on my feed and in my dms and texts. A few bookstagrammers have shared it too, and I’m just in shock about it all. I can’t wait for May 12th when it officially ships to everyone.

DMs From The Week:

Wearing: white tee, black nylon pants, jelly thong sandals

– “How do the ruti pants run?” ~ I shared my ruti pants again this week and the amount of messages I get about these pants is bananas. They really are the best pants though. I think they run tts. I have the regular length and I’m in the XS.

– “I need a couple casual cover ups for a beach trip. Nothing fancy.” ~ I love this double cloth long shirt! And I also adore this tassel sarong – it even has a matching suit!

– “What I really need is a dupe for the Donni pants if you can find one?” ~ Okay so I broke down and got the donni taffeta pants in the pistachio and absolutely love them. I know they’re splurgy. They’re so great though. I wear my usual size XS and they come in so many awesome colors and prints. BUT I did find this style and they’re half the price.

What’s In My ShopMy Storefront:

multi color dress, brown dress, yellow dress, white/pink dress,

Under $100 Wins:

Wearing: white lace trim top, basket charm necklace, levi’s jeans,

– This new white top is from Anthro and I’m loving her. She’s great with jeans or shorts, runs flowy and generous in the best way, I’m in an XS.

– This active twist tank is so cute, love the color options.

– I cannot say enough about how much I love this exfoliating polish. I got it a couple of weeks ago and i love it more than any other exfoliator I’ve ever tried! I feel like that is saying a lot.

– Discovered this super cute top – would be so cute with shorts and skirts.

– I got these pink spoonbill stripe shorts from JCrew. Obsessed with the fabric, it’s from their cruise collection.

– Have you tried Agent Nateur’s calm beauty supplements? They gifted me and they’re these little travel friendly liquid sachets that you can have on the go (easier than pills). It’s a really interesting concept and I’m liking them so far. I got the magnesium ones too.

– I almost feel bad sharing this but I’m going to anyway. Have you seen the Loewe puzzle fold dupe on amazon? Alllll the colors.

March’s Best Selling Items

White Lace Mini Dress – This is my summer little white dress. I wear the XS.

Tubing Mascara – I use this mascara when I need an extra pop! It’s not my every day casual mascara (not that I wear mascara every day but you know what I mean). Gives a lot of length.

Yellow Shorts – I adore these shorts, they’re just so colorful and fun. I have the S.

Blue No Iron Shirt – The great thing (besides the no-iron) is the extra button placement right at the bust! I wear the XS.

Dyson Airwrap ID – I think this is month four for the Dyson airwrap being in the best sellers. I love-love mine.

Flare Hem Top – I have this top in 3 different prints (with the matching pants too). I wear the XS, it’s smocked in the back for an extra snug fit.

Green Seersucker Mini Dress – This new green color is FAB. I have this in navy and it’s a really smart and well made flattering dress. I have the XS. Also comes in black.

Stripe Poplin Pants – I’ve worn these 3 times in the month or so that I’ve had them. They just seem to go with everything and are super comfortable. I have the XS.

10 Min. Loving Tan – Yes, it’s a self tanner that you only leave on for 10 minutes before you can shower it off. I’ve used it once and was impressed and want to use it again this weekend.

Black Tee Dress – I’ve had this dress for a year now and it’s a closet staple for me. It’s an easy tee style and soft and comfy but the material is really good and keeps it’s shape.

White Tank – I have this in both the grey and the white. In size XS. I like the wider shoulder strap.

Nude Sandals – Such a beautiful new style for summer, I don’t have these (yet anyway) but can vouch for LR making really incredible sandals.

Paige Jeans – I have these and they’re a really nice fitting every-day jean. When I pulled this link I saw they’re on sale on amazon right now.

Woven Flats – Probably the shoe that I wore the most in March. Super comfortable and versatile bc they just go with everything. The sole is padded!!

Green Stripe Mini Dress – A really cute spring arrival, I have the XS.

White Eyelet Top – This top would be beautiful paired with white jeans, cute shorts, patterned skirt… endless possibilities.

Happy Friday! BTW I created a favorite Discount Codes page on my ShopMy Storefront!

A few things on my radar for the month ahead:

blue midi dress, stripe smocked dress, floral swimsuit, mirrored white mini,

turquoise necklace, green stripe dress, pink shorts, leather flats,

navy tassel pants, woven flats, cherry eyelet top and shorts

I just got these pink sweat shorts and they’re seriously cute with button downs (this one is my favorite iykyk)!

I’m in love with these brand new woven flats from Loeffler. They’re stunning. I have so many pairs of Loeffler shoes it’s almost embarrassing. Strongly considering adding to my collection.

This green stripe dress was a best seller for March – it’s a really flattering cut, I love a nipped in waist and flare skirt.

My brown silk tassel pants from Doen that I wore in London have been revamped with some new prints – and I cannot with the cuteness of this navy paisley tassel pair. I saw my friend Liz is wearing them in Italy looking amazing right now and I’m so jealous.

This blue midi dress with the floral applique detail is only $134. Major cute look for less vibe.

Lastly, I wanted to chat about Tanya Taylor’s new collection drop and the mirrored pieces. I love them all. They feel very fresh and like you’re sitting cafe-side having an aperol spritz with a tan. This white mirrored mini dress also comes in a really cool chartreuse lime green color. And the khaki mirrored mini skirt is really fun, too.

There are so many great finds in there, but here are a few highlights!

white skirt, yellow dress, netted bag, blue/white maxi, green sweater,

lace trim underwear, leather flip flops, black dress, white jeans,

leather bag, pink top & skirt set, woven bag, blue long dress,

poppy dress, black pants, white top, vine tank and skirt

You can never go wrong with a fresh white skirt. I have these black pants and LOVE them. Loving all the La Maregold pieces on sale, especially this pretty dress. It’s a great time to pick up an Ulla Johnson bag, I love both this leather bag and this woven slouchy bag. Solid & Striped underwear is included. And that yellow dress is really gorgeous, isn’t she?

If you want to peruse my Shopbop Hearts page – that’s a fun way to find all the shopbop faves we’ve collected over the last couple of months. It’ll have “The Spring Event” listed under each item that’s included in the sale – so it’s a really easy way to browse!

What I’m Wearing This Week:

Wearing: marigold button down top xs, marigold pants xs

– Wore this cute outfit above downtown on Monday and felt quite spiffy! Lots of compliments.

– I got my first pair of the Donni taffeta pants that all the fashion girlies are loving and wore them to lunch yesterday and my gosh – they’re just fabulous!! This is how I styled them.

– These jelly flip flops have become one of my go-to pairs. They’re comfy and sleek and just feel kinda cool girl low-key.

– I have a couple of these button down boyfriend shirts – they’re so nice b/c they have extra hidden buttons around the bust so you can truly tailer where you want it to hit and open up.

– Wore my booty boost leggings for a great workout this week. They just dropped a really pretty new green shade!

What I’m Buying/Eyeing This Week:

Wearing: red paisley dress xs, pearl drop necklace

– I just got these raffia low-heel sandals from Julia Berolzheimer’s Margaux collab and I couldn’t be more impressed with the cuteness or the comfort!

– I’ve been wearing this skin blur serum concealer and I swear I think it’s the best one I’ve ever tried for a light coverage that doesn’t look drying and just looks like beautiful skin. I just ordered one for Lilly, too.

– Lilly and I went shopping and I got her this adorable dress and also this flattering dress for spring break. I just might borrow both!

– Cami has quickly became one of my most loved brands and I just ordered this fun top and pants set!

– I couldn’t resist Varley’s new collection and can’t wait for these pink shorts to deliver. They’re a 3 inch inseam which is the ideal length for me.

– Also broke down and got the Me & Em swing short dress and you guys it’s adorable. I got the 0 and probably should have done the 2 though, if that helps for sizing! I’m sharing it to my insta stories today.

What I’m Reading/Watching/Listening To:

Wearing: black tee dress xs, leather sandals, collar pendant necklace,

metal rimmed sunglasses, leather tote

Okay I started Beneath 3 nights ago and am really liking it so far. I LOVED conform. I wish they were related in some way, but I’m still enjoying!

I don’t really have anything majorly worthwhile to share for podcasts or tv shows. I have about 20 minutes left of the Love Story finale. This show really started as a banger but has just gotten pretty meh by the end. I did enjoy Sara & Erin Fosters’s podcast guest Dr Mary Claire Haver’s episode.

This Week’s Highlight:

Wearing: pink cashmere cardi xs, charm necklace

It’s so important to me to take care of my skin and I think the number one thing I do is regular micro-needling. I aim for 3 times a year and am pretty decent about that, even though scheduling with the down time is a pain. I go to Austin at Skin Pharm downtown, she’s just so talented and knowledgable. She’s been treating my skin for more than 5 years now. This past time I tried out their PDGF add-on. It’s a topical platelet-derived growth factor that stimulates collagen, improves skin quality and supports recovery. I honestly didn’t expect it to make much of a difference but my recovery was SO much faster. Normally I like a full 4 days down time, like if I had microneedling Monday I won’t make lunch plans til Friday. But this time I was out and about 48 hours later. So color me surprised.

DMs From The Week:

Men’s Round Up

– “Please help me find an outfit for my husband for family photos. We’re doing them on Easter so needs to be nice.” ~ Say no more. First he needs the hybrid pants. These are Josh’s fave, as the website puts it they go from golf to sports coat. My other faves for him are linked here.

– “Do you have any long cotton dress suggestions that don’t look sloppy and are under $200?” ~ YES, have you checked Boden because they just released this cute dress and this one too!! I’d recommend both of those :)

– “I love a sale but the amazon ones always stress me out. If you see any kitchen or homes things you think are really good let me know.” ~ I know, these things really can be overwhelming. For me, too! I will say we use our Our Place airfryer/toaster oven all the time and it’s on sale right now. Our old one just got so yucky looking. I stay on top of this one now and it cleans really easily. Plus it’s the prettiest one.

What’s In My ShopMy Storefront:

Recent ShopMy Post – 10 new things in my closet

– Westman Atelier sent me their new baby blush stick and the “fizz” color is so pretty. It feels hydrating too, which has been good this week post-microneedling.

– The bext nipple covers are 30% off right now. These are great for tweens and teens as well!

– The new Hill House Wet Brush collab is adorable!! These would be cute in Easter baskets, too.

It’s so great because it has so many attachments – a large round volumizing brush, a hair dryer component, a long barrel, the conical barrel, a fly-away attachment, and smoothing brush.

charm necklace, leather tote, woven flats

– You all know I’m a major Me & Em fan and I’m so excited to get this new pretty swingy short dress. It’s the perfect throw on and go dress and will be cute over a swimsuit, too.

What I’m Reading/Watching/Listening To:

Wearing: ikat long dress xxs, gold heels

I love getting in person time with friends b/c the convo always eventually moves into what we’re reading or watching. It’s where I get so many recs! I think I’ve officially got the low down on Belle Burden’s Strangers memoir sufficiently that I’ll just listen to the podcast with Goop and call it a day. I don’t love reading memoirs, and especially frustrating or somewhat depressing ones, so I’m gonna save that for a podcast and the upcoming show it’ll eventually be.

I’m finally reading First Time Caller and oh my gosh I love it so much. I’ve heard the second book isn’t as good but I’m definitely going to give it a try.

TV land has been kinda slow for me this week. I did not love the depressing Love Story episode. Shrinking’s latest episode was awesome as always. And I’ve picked The Pitt back up again.

One of the bookish podcasts I listen to is Bad On Paper, and this week Grace Atwood was on the episode to chat books and writing. Grace and Becca actually started the podcast together 8 years ago, but 4 years ago she left. It was such a joy to hear her on the pod again! Highly recommend a listen!

This Week’s Highlight:

Easily the highlight this week was receiving the Pink Sand Summer advanced reader copies. Getting to hold the book in physical form in my hands was pretty amazing and gratifying. These are the advanced copies I’ll mail out to press. It’s getting so close you guys! You can order your copy here.

– “Could you please help, I need a nude heel that won’t kill my feet. I have day time and night time events coming up.” ~ Have you seen these new heels from Loeffler? They’re incredible.

– “I’ve lost some weight recently and it’s time to update my jeans. What are your favorites?” ~ Okay I like a lot but in an effort to narrow it down there are my 3 faves – these from Mother, and these from AYR, and these from Paige.
