Style Guide: Stripes Fashion Trend for Spring & Summer



Happy Saturday Lovelies!  I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  I was just at the mall last night and what really caught my eye was how many items incorporated stripes into them!  Oh how I love stripes - it's such a wonderful pattern that works on every figure.  

This is the coat/topper that really caught my eye.  It totally looks like it was inspired by kate spade, but at only $138, it's a steal.  Too bad they didn't have a small in stock otherwise I would have brought it home with me last night.  So, I just ordered it and I can't wait to style it to show you how truly versatile this coat really is!  All sizes are in stock as well as plus sizes.  

Here are some great sites that I love where you can shop to your heart's content for stripes:



kate spade (take 25% off entire purchase with code:  SPRWD15)


Shopbop (take up to 25% off your entire purchase with code:  BIGEVENT15 - last day!)

Some of my favorite striped pieces are below - click to shop!  Have a GREAT weekend!

Hello Lovelies!  Are you still having a case of the winter blues?  Why don't you try wearing yellow?  It's been proven that it does evoke happy and cheerful thoughts.  Can't hurt right?  Nevermind that - lemony yellow is also one of the hottest colors for Spring 2015 - as seen in the runways of DVF and Michael Kors.

It's such a fun way to add some color to your closet - before you know it, spring will be here!

Home Guide: Decorating Your Home in Shades of Grey

Grey is such a beautiful neutral.  Though personally, I would only use it if you have enough natural lighting in your home.  Otherwise I do feel that it can feel a bit dark.  Read on to see how these designers used grey in various rooms and the exact paint colors used.  All photos courtesy of One Kings Lane.

Style Guide: Get Fit in Style



It's getting warmer by the day and it's time to retire your winter workout gear and transition to lighter spring pieces.  The colors are brighter and instead of cotton keeping you warm during your winter workouts - consider the dri-fit material that wicks sweat away from your body.  

Make sure you drink enough water and get your veggies in - an easy way to track is with our easy to use Food & Fitness Log.  A complementary fitness log helps you keep track of your workouts.  

And to jump start your closet - here's a great sale on Nike wear.  See you outside!

Home Guide - Easy Bathroom Remodel via Pretty Bathroom Accessories



Here's a little secret to redoing your bathroom without having to spend thousands of dollars remodeling it.  New bathroom accessories!  Every two years or so I kinda get the itch to redo the bathrooms - and since we remodeled the whole house only ten years ago - it wasn't like I was going to rip up the whole bathroom!  

So, a fresh coat of paint (I love the palette over at Pottery Barn - here are some articles on how to choose a bathroom paint color) plus a new shower curtain, bathroom accessories, and towels will absolutely make you feel like you've got a brand new bathroom!



Some places that I like to find pretty bathroom sets include:

Amazon (they really do have everything!)


Target (tons of choices and very affordable) and save an extra 10% with code:  SPRINGFWD

Pottery Barn (all around pretty and relatively affordable)

Pottery Barn Kids (My kid's bathroom is outfitted in their darling designs)

Anthropologie (really unique, but more on the spendy side)

Horchow (bathroom items more on the luxury end) but right now they have these beautiful Ralph Lauren monogrammed towels for only $13.99!  



Take a look at some of these pretty bathroom finds:
