spring break favorites

I am just lovin all the bright colors for spring! Don't they just make you happy?  I like bright lightweight scarves for layering- they're perfect transition pieces and add a pop of color to your outfit.  I'm especially loving CORAL this season.  From Essie nailpolish to the coral PS1 beauty that needs to magically appear in my closet.. I'm obsessed!  A great way to brighten up your wardrobe is change up your cell phone case with this cheery Kate Spade cover!  Also isn't this J.Crew polka dot bikini top such Betty Draper perfection?  I'm so sad they're out of my size!  For those who have their size still available, it is your duty to get this ASAP!

1. Forever 21 Solid Fringe Scarf
2. Proenza Schouler Coral PS1 Satchel
3. Kate Spade Rugby iPhone Case
4. J.Crew Polka Dot Bikini Top
5. Essie nailpolish in California Coral

TAYLOR SWIFT for HARPER'S BAZAAR AUSTRALIA

I'm lovin Tay-tay's new look.  The straight hair, the bangs, the edgy clothes... It's nice to see her with this upgraded look and workin it like a supermodel.

LOOK FOR LESS

As i was browsing through Target online i was BEYOND shocked to see the Mossimo Pattie Studded White Patent Wedge Sandals.  They are the EXACT copy of my faithful and beloved Steve Madden Feaver Wedges that I had bought 2 years ago in the summer!  The only difference is that the Target version is on sale for $14.98 while I had purchased mine for $80!  That is INSANE.

I also can't help but feel a little mad that I spent so much when the Target versions are so cheap!  I know Forever 21 has had plenty of knock-offs but I wonder if Target ever received lawsuits for such blatant copying?

The Steve Madden versions are my favorite wedges ever and they go with everything!  I get so many compliments on mine- my roommate loved them so much that she ran out and got a pair!  If anyone was lusting after these Steve Madden wedges, you can get the same look at Target.  They were originally $29.99 but it's now $14.98- what a steal!!

Springtime Brights at J.Crew

I went to the Madison J.Crew store and the bright and colorful clothing was such a glorious sight to see while taking refuge from the dreary New York weather outside.  There were candy colored brights that made me so ready for SPRING!  I should just start putting a direct deposit from my bank account to J.Crew's cash register.  

love the hot pink and mint green sperrys- so unexpected!

    how fun would it be to pair a black and white striped top with sunny yellow jeans?

i was eyeing those bright orange jeans. interesting enough they are the same price as colored J. Brands.  i just wanted to have this whole rack and put it in my closet- the tan buttery leather jacket, the white eyelet top, the dark denim jacket, the cobalt blue jeans- all perfect essentials.  Be still my heart.

Wait, What?

I'm so obsessed with his videos.  If you don't recall, he made the Sh*t Sorority Girls Say video. Eventually he started a vlog starring as "Laura fuggin Penny" the blonde Chi O sorority sister and is absolutely HILARIOUS!  This one is especially my favorite about keeping your diet. Sooo funny! Favorite quotes?  "Tears are just more weight loss" "Cry that weight away" and of course rewarding yourself with clothes when you lose weight!!! TOO funny!  Also, i just LOVE the name of his vlog "Wait, What?"  I can't tell you how many times I say that.  Check it out I promise you'll laugh :)

Spotlight on Sheridan French

last night i stumbled upon the blog of Southern designer, Sheridan French. Wow! not only is she beautiful, but her clothes are amazing! so colorful, fun ikat prints and PERFECT for summer!
here are my faves:

love this orange ikat dress. the wooden beaded detail adds a nice touch. so perfect for summer! i can just imagine this w/ gold accessories, gold wedges (or sandals), oversized sunglasses and a tropical drink in my hand!

one of my favorite colors- turquoise! would be so pretty for spring!

cute orange ikat shorts.  photoshoot opp w/ a Dairy Queen StarKiss popsicle? I think so! (Remember those?! Do they even make those anymore?! Those were my childhood faves!)  I would wear these shorts w/ a white top with gold and turquoise accessories.

love this tunic! (or maybe i just have a thing for bright prints and orange) and i just L O V E the quatrafoil elbow patches!!! 

her clothes remind me of Tory Burch (which might be why i am so drawn to it)  but i feel that Tory has tried to incorporate more street style looks into her collection.  Either way, I am so glad I found Sheridan's line!

Now onto Sheridan!  

i love this sign- beautiful calligraphy

such a sweet pose! and the fedora is so fun!

Aren't her wedding pictures absolutely gorgeous!?  I so want to recreate this when I get married (someday hopefully) I love the story of how and her husband met.  She was set up by a friend and did not want to think of it as a "date", so she wore a tshirt and leggings with no makeup.  until he opened the door and realized how hot he was and she went to the bathroom and put on as much makeup as she could find in her bag.  who hasn't been in this situation before!?

Hop on over and check out her blog The Southern Eclectic and her clothes at Sheridan French!
