If there's one print that's most dominant in my closet it's stripes! Anyone with me?! Joules USA has some awesome striped options, ya'll! Stripes are not only a classic print, but they are the perfect print for mixing. I love pairing striped pieces with camo, floral, and even leopard! Stripes are also the perfect backdrop to beautiful accessories and spring is all about color. Any of these tops or dresses would look fab paired with a colorful chunky necklace or scarf. And can we please talk about these chic rain-boots?! I love how each of the rain-boots above can be paired with a variety of looks and colors, but they each have a little something that makes them special! The bows, stripes, polka dots, and floral print are all so fun for spring!

Hey loves! I hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend! I enjoyed quality time with my two faves: my hubby and my baby girl. It was so fun to celebrate her first Easter! She wore one of my baby dresses to mass on Sunday! So awesome that my Mom saved some of my dresses!! True vintage, right?! ;) This was my Easter Sunday outfit. I've been waiting to style this fun strapless bird print dress from eShakti. I think it had Easter dress written all over it. As you can see, my outfit was quite classic prep, with my strapless dress, cardigan, and nautical striped wedges (btw, these wedges are like walking on clouds -- seriously SO comfy)! Of course, I always have to take things up a notch with some great accessories -- including my vintage Dior belt, vintage Gucci bag, fave Oia Jules & BFREND bracelets, and last but not least this awesome beetle necklace I recently received from Swarovski. Isn't it rad?! How was ya'll's Easter weekend? Did you wear anything special?
