Out Shopping...

I made time for a quick stop in Madewell this past weekend and just love the current collection they've got going! Lots of funky stripes, denim and bright colors for spring.


1. Shadow-stripe scarf + wayward jean shirt ($49.50 + $88) - Madewell offers a crazy-awesome selection of scarves year-round. I love the red detail bordering on this blue and white striped scarf. And if you don't have a jean / chambray shirt yet - what gives?!?
2. Striped drifter shorts ($69.50) - Love these, especially as styled in the photo above with a worn in brown belt.
3. Bright tees and shorts!! - a whole wall of the store was tricked out with reds, corals, and oranges. I love the way they mix these brights with basic whites, greys and soft pinks. Try these online pics in similar shades: silk intermission top in red hibiscus ($88), silk capulet tank in french terracotta (on sale: $69.99), and silk safari shorts in red hibiscus ($88)
4. Super cute pair-able bracelets ($8-12) - not offered online, so go to the B&M store to pick these up. I got a handful while I was there, so affordable!!
5. Grey silk crepe blouse ($88) - not available online but the somerset pocket top in raccoon ($78) is a similar silk crepe fabric. This is a great fabric for spring and summer - and versatile as a layering piece worn from work into the weekend.
6. Le minor® dip-dyed tee ($95) - they carry better colors in-store but I'm fond of the ecru anthracite offered online too!

Out Shopping...

With the weather getting warmer I have even more reasons to get out and...shop! Below, a few pics of pieces that caught my eye while out this past weekend...




1. The Baker's, The Chemist's and The Refracted Ambiance Jars @ Anthropologie ($18 - 28) - these look great on bathroom shelves stocked with beauty essentials
2. Alice + Olivia Pace Rhinestone Boxy Tee @ Saks ($495) - a picture can't do this 100% silk tee justice. The alternating rows of rhinestones and beads are gorgeous. Lusting after this tee - dreaming of it paired with my jeggings/slim jeans and flats
3. Amplified Stripes Blouse @ Anthropologie ($98) -  a nice blouse alternative vs. the overwhelming availability of striped t-shirts. Pair this with white jeans and sandals
4. Trench Motorcycle Jacket @ J.Crew ($168) - this cotton twill jacket with neon accent zippers is the perfect jacket to throw on with jeans and a tee. It would make any outfit look stylish without effort
5. Leopard Reusable Tote @ J.Crew ($15) - cute, eco-friendly, durable, multi-purpose. Enough said!
6. Society Taper Holders @ Anthropologie ($18-24) - I'm always game for a few crystal home accents - I love these pieces as standalone objects. They'd look great with a pastel colored taper for spring too
