SPRING INSPIRATION

Even though the first day of spring was Monday, I've been hesitant to start shifting my wardrobe over because I just know there'll be another cold snap before the weather officially starts warming up. In the mean time, I'm dreaming of florals, pastels, and everything light and airy. 

Here are a few outfits that are totally getting me in the spring spirit!

ONE Three Looks Around Charleston with J. McLaughlin from Gal Meets Glam

TWO Peplum sleeves from Brighton Keller

THREE J. McLaughlin's Spring Collection from Summer Wind

FOUR Ombre Tassel Earrings from Lonestar Southern

FIVE Palm Beach Girls Trip from The College Prepster

SIX Spring Blooms in Seaside with Draper James from LCB Style

SEVEN Printed Romper from Life with Emily

Are you in the mood for spring yet?! I hope some of these looks have inspired you like they have me! 

Stay sunny,

SPRING INSPIRATION

SPRING BAGS

Two things I've been very into for spring and summer...statement earrings and bags. I typically where the same pair of pearl earrings and that one purse that goes with everything, but lately I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone. Last year I felt like straw bags really made their debut and it looks like they're back again! Just like statement earrings, a great bag can really take an outfit to the next level. I love coordinating my bags to my outfits and really pulling everything together. 

Here are a few favorites (from left to right, top to bottom)

FRIDAY FINDS

Happy Friday! This week has crawled by to me. I've felt very off this week and my allergies are in full force at the moment, so I for one am so happy the weekend is ahead! It was a beautiful 70 degree day yesterday and tomorrow there is snow in the forecast...crazy!

Here's some fun finds of the week. 

Lilly Pulitzer Spring Break Sunseekers // How cute is this maxi dress? Lilly Pulitzer just launched their Spring Break line and I love it! I wish I had a tropical vacation to go on so I could have an excuse to buy this dress. A few of my favorites - this romper, this cover up, these shorts and OTS top,   and this popover. Some new arrivals I'm dying to snag - this dress (the bows!), these leggings, this top, and this dress. Ok, enough for now! 

12 year old slays "Chandelier" // Y'all, this little girl, Elha Nymph, is amazing! I actually don't like the original of this song, but I've heard two covers that I love and she has just moved to the top of that list! 

University of Tennessee: The Hunter Thomas Feature // Grab the tissues! I have had the privilege of meeting Hunter and seeing first hand what an inspiration he is. This feature is no exception. I'm so glad to see a program like this provide opportunities for people like Hunter. 

J. Crew leather mules // I need these in my closet asap. 

Also loving J. Crew's swimsuits this season // Especially loving this floral print, this seersucker, this gingham, and these striped suits - here and here.  

New Jack Rogers style // Have y'all seen this new style of Jacks?? I'm obsessed!!! 

Cutest Straw Bags from TCP // My love for straw bags runs deep. They lighten up any outfit for summer. 

Love this look on Mackenzie from Design Darling // Off the shoulder tops are really starting to grow on me!

FRIDAY FINDS

I thought I'd share some of my favorite posts I came across this week that have inspired me! It's no secret that I'm beyond ready for (official) spring weather and these posts have just heightened that feeling.

Krista from Covering the Bases // *NEED* this dress and I'm just obsessed with everything about this post from Dublin.

Carly from The College Prepster // Preppy #goals in this post from Charleston and Kate Spade does it again with this matching set.

Sarah Vickers from Classy Girls Wear Pearls // This Kate Spade set styled differently than Carly but equally as perfect.  

Rachel from Something Delightful // Loving all of these picks from the Shopbop sale and this look.

Dorothy from Prep in Your Step // Wanting everything on this Spring Break Shopping List (and wishing I still got a spring break #adulting)

Mackenzie from Design Darling // Need these sailor jeans like yesterday and this packing list for Naples has got me wanting to make a trip myself.

Kate from Lonestar Southern // I could never pull this top off but Kate does it so effortlessly.

Jess from The Golden Girl // Love love love. Trust me, it's good.

Kelly from Kelly in the City // This post is written by Kelly's husband, Mitch and it's hilarious. Just read it. 

Julia from Gal Meets Glam // ALL of her posts recently have me dreaming of spring and summer. So many florals, shades of pink, and feminine pieces. I can't get enough.

Sydney from Summer Wind // Embracing white at the middle (end?) of winter.

And to leave you with a quote I came across yesterday that resonated with me this week...

Stay sunny,
