Amy Merrick‘s gorgeous floral arrangements have me daydreaming of the warm spring weather this morning. Don’t these photos, from a recent shoot she did with BHLDN, remind you of castles and fairy tales? Happy May Day, friends! xoxo
Fashion Friday: J. Crew pastel flats
How perfect are these J.Crew ballet flats? I can’t get enough of pastel colors and wouldn’t mind seeing them year-round, would you? Just in time for Easter and spring walks in the cool breeze of the evening! xoxo
P.S. Did you notice how the pairs of ballet flats click their heels on J. Crew’s site? 🙂

10 creative Easter egg designs
Growing up, one of my favorite things about spring was dying Easter eggs. Every year, though, I stuck with the same standard colors — the reds, the blues, the greens, the pinks. I never got too wild and crazy. I haven’t decorated eggs in years, but lately, I’ve been seeing so many creative and beautiful designs that it makes me want to get back in the ring and step up my game so I’m not left with egg on my face (pun intended…). Here are the 10 that made my jaw drop this morning…
A groovy throw-back with tie-dye eggs…
A futuristic look with neon dip-dyed eggs…
A classic mix of pastel striped eggs…
A set of vibrantly colored eggs…
A set of intricate origami eggs…
Two words: Ombre eggs…
And of course, no one does it like Martha, with her Thread-wrapped, lace, glittered and dripped-on eggs.
Do you still dye Easter eggs, friends? Do you stay more traditional, or do you get crazy? Let’s chat! xoxo
P.S. More egg-tastic posts, including an egg engagement and confetti eggs. Also, remember when I gave the Easter Bunny a makeover?

Well, hello, Polo Shirt Season
Well, friends, today is a pretty big day: The beginning of polo shirt season. Can you believe it? It’s been Three years of polo shirt fun, and I’m so excited to break out my brightly colored shirts — and buy a few new ones, of course! Here are a few of my favorites from my collection…
A few years ago, I said, “Imelda Marcos had shoes. I have polo shirts. It just works. I’ve learned not to question it.” That’s still true. For me, nothing says “Hello, spring” like like a crisp, clean polo. Are you a fan of polo shirts, friends? What do you most look forward to wearing during breezy spring days? xoxo
P.S. A new Letter To My Future Husband is coming up! 🙂
Fashion Friday: Ombre tights
The ombre trend seems to be everywhere right now, and thanks to Tiffany, we can add one more place to the list: Your legs! How beautiful are her hand-dyed tights, which come in shades of navy, sunset (my personal favorite…), coal and fuschian violet. Bravo, Tiffany! xoxo
