5 Spring Must-Haves for Him and Her

What's on your spring wish list? Like many of you, we've been doing a little spring cleaning around here and have been anxious to swap out our wool knits for something a little more light. I typically buy a few new things before the start of each season. Mainly pieces that will take me into summer, but I also look for things I can wear with other items I already own. It's all about versatility! If you're looking for a little inspiration on what to buy for spring this season, scroll below for the coolest picks for him and her. ...

Introducing My Spring Style Guide

Ah, I am so excited to finally share this little spring style guide with you. I always look forward to sharing new content with you and although this season has been a little tricky with shooting projects and still "taking it easy", I really love how this turned out.

Are you out of breath from just from reading that? No, just me?  ...

My Ruffle One-Piece Swimsuit I Wore in Palm Springs

I was so excited to get a glimpse of warmer weather on our babymoon but had a little trouble when it came to swimsuits. I've mentioned before that I'm not really a fan of "maternity fashion" and that was certainly true when it came time to shop for swimsuits. I made it my goal to find a few options that were bump-friendly without being too cheeky or revealing (that post is coming soon) and really lucked out with a few. After all, this is your time to proudly show off your bump and not worry about sucking in at the pool. Win-win. ...

The White Lace Tunic You Can Wear Now and Later This Summer

Each spring I always find a lace tunic that I wear non-stop. You know, the blouse you can throw on for an easy weekend outfit or that's comfy enough to wear to the airport. This tunic from Free People has been that for me. I honestly think it might be a dress (?), but for me being pregnant and almost 5'7, that wasn't an option. ...

5 Pieces to Help You Build Your Spring Wardrobe

It's always this time of year that I start to pull out more white accessories, lighter layers and pieces that can transition well for the upcoming spring season. For me, it always comes down to good layering cardigans or dusters. I live in those this time of year. And to keep things from feeling "too wintery" I throw on my White Booties (similar options here and here) (or a lighter handbag) to give the look a fresh approach to the new season. I know many of you are also in the same boat. It's chilly where you live, you don't want to buy new winter clothes, but you want to update your wardrobe to where it's practical and seasonally appropriate. Look no further — I've compiled a list of my top choices for light layers and all things that will transition well into spring. ...
