Mad about Mint

Recently, I have been obsessing over the color mint green.

I just borrowed some nail polish from one of my best friends that was in this color, and I've been obsessed with it ever since.

After sporting a mint green bathing suit and seeing bright aqua water on Spring Break, I've been inspired by the shades in between mint and aqua and light blue.

I can guarantee you that mint will be in my wardrobe this spring.

Below are some of my favorite outfit pieces in shades of mint and aqua and all the colors in between!

 

1 / Striped Sleeveless Skipper Dress

2 / Aqua Shep Shirt

3 / Lace Bodice Crepe Gown

4 / Kate Spade Mint Purse

5 / Bright Blue Pencil Skirt

6 / Romper with Mint Detail

7 / Mint Statement Necklace

Cherry Blossoms

This Friday was one for the books.

Earlier this week, my best friend Amanda texted me saying she was thinking about visiting for the weekend. Amanda is my go-to photographer and takes the MOST amazing pictures so I knew I wanted to take her to see the Cherry Blossoms. 

If you are reading this and live anywhere close to DC, drop everything and Metro to Smithsonian to see the Cherry Blossoms right now. I'm not kidding. 

They're in peak bloom and should be for about another week. 

Keep in mind that it's very busy, so the earlier you go, the better.

I wore this adorable pink gingham tunic from Haley and the Hound. 

I couldn't recommend it enough; it's the perfect piece for spring. 

They have over 100 tunics so there are tons of fun prints for all seasons and occasions. 

Below are my pictures from the cherry blossoms.
They turned out antique-looking and super grainy, but I actually love how they look. 

Thanks to Amanda for the amazing pictures and Haley and the Hound for the gorgeous tunic.

Have you ever been to the Cherry Blossom Festival?

Spring has Sprung

IT'S ALMOST SPRING!

And you know what that means....a new wardrobe!

While getting ready for spring break, I was doing some quick shopping and stumbled upon JCrew Factory's Spring Collection. I am in LOVE with it. I think they have some great pieces for the transition from winter into spring. 

Here are my favorite spring picks for women and men from JCrew Factory.

For the women: 

 

 {Blue and White Top} | Because who doesn't love those colors together??

{White Eyelet Tunic} | The neck detail is adorable

{Chambray Dress} | Dresses are perfect for spring and chambray is so in

{Shoes} | To match your Chambray Dress

{Rope Shorts} | Every boater needs nautical shorts

{Flamingo Sweater} | Too. Cute. 

{Pink Chinos} | Chinos are a must

I just bought the blue and white top, the rope shorts, and pink chinos. 

I'm in love with every single piece and can't wait for it to warm up so I can wear them!

& For the men:

{Toggle Sweater} | For when it's not warm enough for a tshirt

{Crab Tee} | For spring days when you're picking crabs

{Gramercy Shorts} | For the men who love New England

{Critter Shorts} | Because every man should have a couple Critters

{Lobster Socks} | Need a pair of statement socks for your Sperrys

{Belt} | A printed belt perfect for Khakis

I bought the Crab Tee for myself since I needed a big shirt to go with Norts for the Spring. This sold out last year so quick so I'm happy it was restocked! The men's collection includes a lot of nautical pieces which I love. 

I'll be buying it all.
