This pullover was actually the best investment ever. Anthropologie really should have warned me to get one in every color, because they are the perfect fix to these strange spring Mother-Nature-Can’t-Make-Up-Her-Mind days.

What are your go-to pieces for the transition into spring?
This weekend I got to spend a lovely Easter at home with my family– first one in five years! And it was like nothing had changed… deviled eggs, jelly beans, and Easter baskets galore…
Linking up with a {little} dash of ash!
The Dandelion’s pallid tube
Astonishes the Grass,
And Winter instantly becomes
An infinite Alas —
The tube uplifts a signal Bud
And then a shouting Flower, —
The Proclamation of the Suns
That sepulture is o’er.
-Emily Dickinson
Spring is springing and I could not be more ready for it! Loved this teacup with an Emily Dickinson poem scripted on it that I spotted at the ICA last week on a date with some really pretty blogger ladies 🙂 Linking up with a {little} dash of ash for Instagram Monday!
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…
Print-Share Bikini, Anthropologie, $156
A Petit Blossoms White Applique Skirt, Ruche, $43
Sneakers, H&M, $13
Mini Anchor Post Earrings, Catherine Weitzman via Max & Chloe, $60
Satin Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $14
A Coast Call Bag, ModCloth, $65
Anchors Away Bracelet, Kate Spade, $98
Sailor’s Knot Ring, Kate Spade, $48
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
Lace dress, H&M
Murfee scarf, Lilly Pulitzer
Green bracelet, vintage
Gold studs, H&M
Boots, Lauren Ralph Lauren
The wind was howling so hard at my parents house the other night that I could hardly sleep. Thought it was a good excuse to pull out my new Bling My Chimes murfee from the one and only Lilly. Other than the loud wind though, a beautiful day as you can see! Countdown till spring anyone??
We interrupt your regularly scheduled Friday’s Fancies to endorse a very special team heading to Super Bowl XLVI this weekend! Plus with all of this strange but wonderful warm weather we’ve been experiencing, a dress on Super Bowl Sunday doesn’t even seem that funny this year. Perfect for a Spring Fever Friday’s Fancies on {long distance loving}!
Embossed Basket Dress, Anthropologie, $168
Touchy Feely Murfee Scarf, Lilly Pulitzer, $118
Satin Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $14
Classic Canvas Slip-Ons, TOMS, $44

Happy weekend and GO PATS! Bring another one to Titletown, USA!
May or may not be discussing my love for pastels more and more on the blog this week. Might want to get used to it 🙂
post script: While we’re on the topic of shoes, TOMS ballet flats premiere tomorrow! Line up ladies!
I get a ton of emails from stores every day, and while sometimes I appreciate the notice and get word of good sales out of them, a lot of times they’re just irritating. Â One mailing list I’m always happy to be on, though, is Urban Outfitter‘s. Â Today’s message in my inbox? Â They have over 80 new styles of sandals online!
Here are some of my favorites from the new spring collection, including some from every price range:
Dolce Vita Bow Patent Leather Sandal, $69
Ecote Hurache Sandal, $39
Ecote Metal Squares T-Strap Sandal, $38
Dr. Scholl's Classic Sandal, $49
Matiko Modern Cutout Wedge, $148
And while these certainly don’t fit my taste, you’ve gotta give them points for trying!
Nike Gladiateur 2 Sandal, $80
If you’re a big Urban shoe lover like I am, you can also sign up for their new UO Shoe Club Newsletter to receive exclusive discounts and contests. Â Can’t go wrong with that!
Post script: Please take a minute to admire my roommate Natasha’s shoe collection:
This is actually just a very small portion of that collection. Â How she got all of these out to LA for a semester and back I’ll never know.
When I hear Cinco de Mayo, I think bright colors, flowy fabrics, and margaritas. Â The warm weather of early May is the perfect time to debut your new bright summer dresses for this fun holiday. Â Now I know Cinco de Mayo is a day celebrating a Mexican victory, but Spain-based designer Desigual sure knows what they’re doing when it comes for colorful dresses, and I think they have some of the best picks for today’s fiestas. Â Most of their stores are in Europe, but there are a number of resellers in the US. Â For a full list, click here.
Here are a few pieces I’ve been lusting over, especially the skirt (graduation present anyone??)
Juliette Dress, 69,30 €
La Gardienne Dress, 109,00 €
Annette Skirt, 84,00 €
Another rainy day in New England, and I am so darn sick of my rain boots. While hunting for new ones, I came across (with a little help from College Prep), Zoubaby! I love Hunter boots as much as the next person, but instead of plastering their label all over their products, Zoubaby lets you customize your boots with your own!
Monogramming is free with the purchase of any pair (which run for $89), and is available in four fonts and eight thread colors. They also offer customized sorority boots:
As sick as I am of rain, these make it a little easier to deal with!
Now if only I could find a cute raincoat! Â Any suggestions?
