Ensemble: Coral & Mint

I bought my first Kate Spade bag the other week and couldn't be happier with it.  I'm loving the light mint color, it seems like it goes with just about everything I own.  I've already been wearing it to death.

Sweater - Old Navy (similar here) / Jeans - Gap / Flats - Payless / Bag - Kate Spade (currently on sale!) / Bracelets - F21 (similar here) and Bip & Bop / Watch - Michael Kors / Necklace - NY&Co

This weather has me wearing all kinds of happy and bright colors.  I think sunny days in the 60's are my favorite.  Hooray for Spring's arrival!

Ensemble: Bows & Lace

Sometimes you just need an extra dose of girliness in your life.  Bows and lace are my answer.

Top and Skirt - Loft / Tights - Target / Necklace - H&M / Belt - ASOS / Watch - Michael Kors / Heels - Nine West

I know, I know.  You've been sucking it up for the past few weeks and going without tights.  Well, I'm a wimp.  And these tights are adorable, so I don't care.

I've been on the hunt for a cute pair of polka dotted tights but haven't had luck so far.  I guess with warmer weather on the way, I won't really be needing tights again for a while.  Here's to bare legs!

High Roller

I had a pretty good baseball + derby day on Saturday.  I won big on the race (and when I say "big," what I really mean is I made a net profit of three bucks) and rocked a pretty sweet hat all day that we got for free at the Cubs game.

The ladies in our hats.

Me with the birthday boy.

I hope you had a great weekend!!

The Freakin Weekend

After a super busy week, I'm excited for it to finally be Friday!  This weekend we're celebrating the boyfriend's birthday by hitting a Cubs game with a bunch of our friends and going to a Derby party.

With the boyfriend at a game last summer

Happy Birthday boyfriend!  I'm so glad I get to celebrate with you for the third year in a row with Cubs and hot dogs!!

(ahem, not that he's likely to read this ;)

(double ahem, sometimes I turn my closing parenthesis into an emoticon.  It's a personal problem.)

(triple ahem, sorry if this post seems a little loopy.   I may have taken two Benadryl before writing it.)



P.S. I'm being featured today on Simple Easy Style, check it out!!

Ensemble: Chambray + Pear

Colored jeans and chambray has been my go-to look lately.  I love that it's fun but still put together.

Chambray - Target / Jeans - Old Navy / Bag - Sole Society / Boots - Steve Madden (similar here) / Necklace (old) and Watch - NY&Co / Bracelet - F21 (old)

I had a recent bout of good luck and won this gorgeous Sole Society bag from Jill at Good Life for Less.  It is my new love.

What's your favorite way to wear colored denim?

Color Crush: Lavender

I've been crushing on lavender items for the past several months, yet a thorough cleaning of my closet this weekend (which produced this many bags of stuff to give away) determined that I own nothing in the shade.  Which frankly, is a bit sad.

1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8. / 9. 

Well, when I say no items in lavender that really isn't true, because A. I still have my backpack from highschool and B. It's lavender.  But the occasions to carry a backpack these days are few and far between.
