Neutral Territory - Day & Night

 As I prepare for our fifth wedding anniversary trip to the desert I am finding myself stocking up on everything neutral, {shocking I know}. I recently picked up this blouse to wear during the day with some sandals and skinny denim. Come our celebratory evening I thought a dress was in order. I love the idea of something that is loose fitting but can have a belt added so you don't look like your wearing a potato sack. All my other outfits will be casual coverups and bathing suits. I cannot wait to get the sun on my skin. Spring is definitely being skipped this year in Boston!

Striped

As Spring items are hitting the shelves I am noticing tons of navy and white. Especially when it comes to my favorite pattern, stripes. The classic print mixes brilliantly with so many other patterns like florals and my favorite leopard {as displayed in that fabulous clutch below}. So I did a little round up of some of my favorite items boasting stripes. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Splurge Vs. Steal

Let's face it, trends change everyday and while we may love it right now, will we adore it as much down for years to come to justify the splurge??? Well now you don't have to decide, with these dead ringers for the more expensive version you can get the look of the high end designs for much less. Can you tell the difference between the steal or the splurge??? If you can't, go ahead and treat yourself by picking up some new Spring fashions without the guilt or the depletion of your checking account!
