This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A breezy striped dress for only $59. There are free shipping and free returns at Urban Outfitters with orders over $50, so it’s worth a try. This Loft version is just as pretty if you’d rather have a midi dress.
  • A pair of ankle-wrap sandals from Splendid that come in at just $108.
  • Banana leaf throw pillows. I’m not sure I’ll ever grow tired of this tropical print!
  • Gorgeous statement earrings for $38.
  • A laser-cut circle skirt to wear to work all season long.
  • A ceramic pineapple jar. You’ll have to sign up for Dot & Bo to purchase this (here’s my referral link, if you feel so inclined), which is kind of annoying. So, here are the details: the jar is 4.5″ in diameter, 7.75″ high, and is priced at $25.99.
  • Shopbop’s sale! Tons of spring items are marked down, including Rebecca Minkoff bags. I can’t get over how cute the mini bucket bag is!

Reminder! Enter to win a jewelry set from Gerard Yosca valued at $252!

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A vibrant splash of yellow in the form of an easy to grab-and-go clutch. It’s no surprise that this Tory Burch version is my favorite. It also comes in the prettiest pale pink.
  • Leopard for spring. I actually ordered this coat last weekend with the Ann Taylor Friends & Family promotion (along with this romper). I added it to my order to qualify for free shipping, but I’m actually pretty excited for it to arrive. I’ve been wearing a lot of black to work and this coat would make the commute to work feel less depressing.
  • This adorable striped dress. It has good reviews and it’s only $35. Well done, Old Navy.
  • Wooden accessories, especially this tropical-meets-modern necklace. (This $15 H&M necklace is also great.)
  • A vibrant Florence Broadhurst beach towel. I fell for Florence Broadhurst’s designs when Kate Spade did a collaboration with the brand. I don’t exactly need another beach towel when my Turkish bath towel does a fantastic job, but this one is tempting. (It was on sale last weekend for 50% off. Keep an eye on it in hopes that it goes down again.)
  • Patterned shorts.
  • Striped sandals with a ladylike block heel.

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • All of J.Crew’s new arrivals. Lime isn’t really my color, but I can’t stop thinking about this neon skirt. (This striped skirt is also on my wish list.)
  • A graphic white cuff. It’s a must for spring.
  • Striped kitten heels! I’ve wanted them ever since I spotted this image on Pinterest. (I’m actually really tempted to buy them. They’d be great for work.)
  • This pearl cocktail ring. With Piperlime’s demise on the horizon, I bet we’ll start seeing deeper discounts. Add your favorites to your wish list.
  • A flirty little romper.
  • This bright yellow dress. It’s on sale, so it might be hard to find your size. Check here and here.
  • A pretty pineapple key fob.

PSA: Remember the red dress I wrote about last week? I ended up ordering it and it arrived yesterday. There are two pleats right above the tush. It’s barely noticeable in the stock image and probably isn’t a big deal if you have a straight figure. However, if you’re like me and have ample curves back there, don’t get it. It’s incredibly unflattering.

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A cheerful red dress that’s under $100! Not only do I adore the color, I love that there are stretchy insets at the sides to ensure a perfect fit and it’s bra-friendly. It also comes in black with striped sides. (I’m pretty excited that Madewell items are now more readily available at other retailers, especially when those retailers that have free shipping both ways.)
  • A raffia box adorned with a pineapple closure. It’s a chic way to hide any small trinkets on your coffee table. (Speaking of which, I really like pineapples and just started a Pinterest board of ’em.)
  • Bold color. Weathermen are forecasting a spring heatwave next week in the low 50s. Just knowing spring is on the horizon puts me in the mood for bright, saturated color. This blanket is pricey, but it’s a fun inspiration piece.
  • Elephants.
  • Lemons and limes on this maxi dress. What do you think? Ridiculous or a must-have for Florida? (Possibly both.)
  • The cutest chambray romper.
  • A red bucket bag. Nothing screams summer like the reemergence of nautical pieces. A patriotic bucket bag keeps it on-trend.
  • Not Pictured: I’m tempted to snag these pillows for our bed. The pattern reminds me of Tory Burch’s summer textiles.

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A striped spring coat. There’s also this one for those looking for a dressier–and slightly cheaper–alternative. It’s very Kate Spade, no?
  • This is as close as I’ll get to wearing sneakers with casual clothes.
  • I know this clutch has already made the rounds, but it’s worth posting on the off chance you haven’t seen it. One side says “oui” and the other says “non.” Perfect for those indecisive days.
  • It’s time to take an extra 40-50% off sale items at J.Crew! I’m not much for heels, but I really like these. And they’re still available in a 7!
  • Has anyone come across a more affordable version of this swimsuit? Preferably a one-piece.
  • A welcome desk accessory upgrade. I’m still using a clear plastic card holder that was under $5 from Staples.
  • Can you believe this backpack is $40 from Target?! The design is perfection. I’m not normally one to encourage faux-leather, but something as trendy as this isn’t worth an investment.
  • Soon (I hope!) it’ll be time for shorts and breezy tops. The detail on this one keeps it from being just another basic tee.
