Style Guide: An Afternoon In The Park

Now that we’re well into spring, my mind is starting to drift to lazy days spent outside. One of my happiest memories growing up is trekking to the local forest preserve for a family picnic. It was so nice to see everything come back to life again — us included! — after the humdrum winter months.

The only problem? Well, let’s just say I wasn’t the most fashionably conscious lady back then — certainly not like I am today. So to make up for it, make sure you pack these eight essentials the next time you head out to the park…

Picnic basket, $39.99 | Straw hat, $34.50 | Checkered shirt, $39 | Binoculars, $12.99 | Bird Bingo, $29.95 | Comfy pillow, $28 | Lilly Pulitzer tumblers, $25 | Floral picnic blanket, $45

What about you, friends?? Have you taken any picnics yet this year?? What was on your Must-Pack List? And just for fun, what’s your favorite picnic food? xoxo

April Beauty Favorite: Springtime Lip Smackers

Picture this: It’s a few days before Easter and I’m zipping down the aisles of Target. I’m a woman on a mission. Past the CDs. Past the makeup. Heck, I even zoomed right past the glorious $1 section.

Like I said, I was on a mission here.

I eventually found myself in heaven — or at least, my version of it.

The Easter section. Shelves and shelves piled high with chocolate and PEEPS and jelly beans and malted milk balls; all these were great choices, sure, but they weren’t really what I was after. They weren’t what was calling my name. After a few minutes of scanning, my eyes zeroed in on my target. I mean, we’re talking laser-pointer precision here. I could have shined a spotlight on them with the way I was glaring at them.

The object of my desire? The Easter-themed/springtime Lip Smacker sets.

Oh, trust me, they were a beautiful sight to behold, all new and shiny in the package. So what did typical “me” do? I may or may not have thrown ALL five kinds in my basket — you know, NBD. OK, in my defense, just take a look at these pics…

I mean, with names like Squared Marshmallow Treat, Lemon Tart Surprise, Bunny Mint Delight, Choco-Coco Whip and Nutty Brittle, how can you not scoop them all up? No, really, I dare you to try it and leave Target empty handed. It’s not easy, I tell you.

Not to mention the fact that the packaging is a-dor-able (picture me saying that!), especially the cute chick and bunny key chains. Now all I have to do is make room for them in my lip balm organizer, which, admittedly, is almost overflowing. Ahh, the life of a Lip Balm Addict, huh?

Have you tried these limited-edition balms, friends? If so, what were your favorite flavors? xoxo

Style Guide: Cool Coachella Chic

Let’s just state the obvious: I’m not sure I’d be cool enough to attend Coachella. The famed music and all around awesome festival, which kicked off last week in California, is a veritable who’s who of what’s hip in 2016 — I’m guessing it’s sort of like the Woodstock of our generation. But like I said, I don’t think I’d pass the Cool Factor Test to get past security.

I am, however, a budding fashionista, and next to the music, Coachella is ALL about putting style front and center. So! How about we live vicariously through these seven picks and enjoy our own little Coachella…

Tassel necklace, $38 | Neon tropical flower garland, $19.50 | Body glitter, $7.99 | Patterned dress, $69.95 | Printed fan, $14 | Purple sunglasses, $20 | Wallet, $18

That’s it…all I want to do for the rest of the day is prance and dance through a field, swaying to the music of my soul. Who’s with me?? xoxo

P.S. Which Coachella style icon are you?

10 Super Spring-y Pins

Do you feel that extra spring in your step? Well, in my case, I suppose it would be the extra roll in my wheels…

IT’S OFFICIALLY SPRING.

Yes, all caps was necessary because I just want to shout it from the rooftop. I can’t contain my sheer happiness over the changing weather. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and the breeze is actually warm again. And in the back of the closet go the heavy sweaters and out come light-weight shirts!!!

In this lighter, more carefree spirit, I thought I’d continue with my Pinterest tradition (remember the fall and winter…?) with a festive round-up of spring-inspired finds, starting with these pretty flowers…

Floral nails…

Fresh vegetables…

Adorable animals (how cute are these lambs??)…

Easter brunch…

Warm weather…

DIY Easter basket cake…

A new beginning…

Naturally dyed colorful eggs…

Crisp and breezy fashion…


Well, feeling inspired yet, friends? What do YOU love most about this time of year? Make sure you follow me on Pinterest for more spring goodness!! xoxo

P.S. A new Love Lounge is coming up shortly! 🙂
