Spring Is In The Air

For today's post I wanted to show off some new additions to my house.  This past weekend the husband and I jumped into spring cleaning in anticipation of our new bed!

And yes that's my teddy bear Walter in his usual place of honor. 
Of course wouldn't you know I'd have a bear with a bow tie!

This duvet has put a bird on it!

There is ALOT of pillow action here and a awesome profile of Walter.

We got the bed, pillow, sheets, and duvet set at Macys(something similar here)

I am so in love with this bed, I feel like Snow White awakening from her class coffin with birds singing and fawns prancing.  It has definitely freshened up our bedroom and I've been trying to bring more spring into the house in general.  With flowers. 




Irises and Lillies for the dinning room table have made the whole house smell airy and light.

And I've also decided to change up my regular perfume for the season.  I've been wearing Banana Republic W for a while now:

Which has a very crisp scent, that I am attracted to.  But I've decided to mix it up with L'eau de Chloe

How gorgeous is this packaging! (You can also see a fig scented candle a friend got me that plays into this whole springtime fresh scent/vibe I'm going for.)  I decided on this new fragrance after coming upon a perfume add in Vogue.  I like to smell the inserts and if the husband is sitting on the couch with me while I'm flipping through I always like to ask his opinion.  When he smelled this Chloe he got a little frisky, so that's sold it for me. 

Happy Spring!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
