Obsessed with the bucket bag trend right now.  Need one ASAP!

Love the different colored tassels on this Zara bag

The color of this Tory Burch bag is amaze

Whenever I see something in crimson/red I automatically need it


Old Navy's even sporting the trend with this great inexpensive version

Because who doesn't love the classic LV

Flower Power

Obsessed with this floral Lulelemon jacket - should have bought it when I had the chance!
Dying to wear this flower floor length Ted Baker dress to a spring/summer wedding...and/or a barbeque
This Tory Burch bag makes for a great beach trip - a must for a Hawaiian vacation!
Ted Baker is all about the flower power right now! These shoes would be so great with a simple pale blue pencil skirt and blouse
Thinking about switching up my Gold Cup look this year - from derby hat to flower headbands.  Hello Gold Cupchella

He Liked It...So He Put A Ring On It



I met NG about 9 years ago (that makes me feel extremely old) - freshman year of college.  #RollTide We've been friends ever since.  We've been through so much together - 5am practices, parties, boyfriends, break-ups, prank calls during bus trips, birthdays, and so much more. I moved to the DC area knowing only her, and she welcomed me immediately, shared all of her friends with me, and truly made me feel at home.  She's that person that will always be there for me.

Last Thursday I'm finishing packing up my life, stressed out and tired.  I get a text from NG saying that her Air Max shoes are in, so would I mind if she stops by to show them to me (side note: NG ordered these bad ass custom Air Max shoes and I'm DYING to see them! So naturally this excuse worked so easily on me...oh you want me to look at shoes on a random Thursday night?? Yes please!) Little did I know that about four hours earlier, NG became a fiance to the man of her dreams.  When she walked in she said "I don't actually have shoes to show you....but I do have this to show you" (raises the left hand). What do I do? I LOST IT! Immediate tears, confusion, disbelief.  Did you ever picture your best friend getting engaged? Well I did - and this was not how I pictured her telling me.  Yes, I realize I wasn't the one getting proposed to, but none the less I was blown away.  I feel  immense joy for these two.  I know they will have a lifetime of happiness together. 


He could not have picked a prettier day!
The look of surprise!

Zara Spring Picks

SPRING IS HERE!!! It's about 60 degrees outside, I can't stop sneezing, and I'm SO happy about it! You know what else is here? My move! I'm so excited for the new move - thankfully my two friends took me in! With a move, comes some much needed spring cleaning.  Let's just say I had to part with a lot, BUT that only means I can go shopping for a new spring wardrobe right??? (side note: PR has been extremely helpful, like above and beyond, during my move BUT he's continually trying to get ride of my things.  We were in the elevator the other day with a luggage cart full of my hanging clothes and when someone mentioned something about them, PR said "you can have anything"...jokes aside, get real guy)

There's no better place to do some spring shopping than Zara.  Their look book for April and May is now out, and I've got my eye on quite a few pieces (shocking I know). There might not be any room in my closet to store these new pieces, but that's not stopping me from browsing :)

Obvi I had to lead off with this beauty. Do ya'll remember the BEAUTIFUL baby blue jacket PR bought me for my bday?? Well meet its sister - the pink version :)
I want mint green to be my color this spring - so I was so excited to see this adorbs crop jacket.  Cute with jeans or with a flowy dress for work
Does anything say Spring more than flowers? Love this combo as is or as separates
When I see this dress I think: summer yachting in the south of France - "Hi, I'm on a really big boat, so talk soon"
LOVE the detailing and cut of this dress - oh and the color provides a nice pop as well
Again, the color and detailing of these shoes are perfection
LOVE LOVE the colors on this shirt!
Mint green? Check! Leather detailing? Check! Perfect for any occasion? Check Check THIS TOP!
Sorry for the mint green overdose, but I mean...how can I pass up this skirt??
I think I need this dress for all of the Saturday brunches I plan on attending this Summer!
