Happy weekend all!
So guess who simply missed the fact that yesterday was the first day of spring?
This girl.
But I’m making up for it today by highlighting my favorite spring trend: pastels! Shocker huh? I simply cannot get enough of ’em. Though in an effort to not buy an entirely new spring wardrobe, I’m trying to give into only mostly accessories this season.

Portable Patisserie Ring, ModCloth // 7. A Little Owl Told Me Earrings, ModCloth // 8. Metro Watch, Kate Space // 9. Pink Leather Heart Purse, Topshop // 10. Triple Wrap Bracelet, Lalucca // 11.

Fun St. Patrick’s Day plans anyone? Can I ask that you at least all have a bowl of Lucky Charms for breakfast? 🙂
I thought I had experienced the last of my spring breaks when I graduated, but lucky for me, little sis is still in college and convinced me to accompany her, so I guess I got a bonus year 🙂 Our bags were full of pretty comfortable and practical clothes for prancing around theme parks, so for today’s Spring Break Friday’s Fancies on {long distance loving}, I’ve got a different sort of suitcase on my mind…

Nautical screams spring to me. I’d love to learn to sail but unfortunately my fear of drowning kind of puts that one on the back burner. Maybe one day though…? Until then I’ll happily lay out in this oh-so-adorable Anthropologie bikini and watch the sailors sail by from a distance.
Happy weekend everyone! xx

I don’t think I’m alone in admitting that half of the reason I watch awards shows is for the fashions. I’m so excited to see all of the gorgeous dresses that rock the red carpet this Sunday at the Academy Awards, and equally as excited to be linking up with long distance loving for an Oscar’s-themed Friday’s Fancies!
When my style icon Kate Middleton stopped in Hollywood as a part of her North American tour last summer, I couldn’t wait to see what she wore to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts celebration. Stepping out in a lavender Alexander McQueen, she exceeded any expectations I had. I knew at that moment, that if I ever had the chance to walk down that red carpet, I would choose to wear something pretty dang similar…
