My Instagram feed has become more colorful, which must mean spring is officially here. Here are a few of my favorite memories from April:

Won an adorable pajama set from Sleepy Jones
Enjoyed a colorful evening sky on our way back from Easter celebrations in Central Wisconsin
Picked up yet another bouquet of tulips
Booked a July trip to Belgium
Enjoyed a margarita-filled evening with Dave
Ate entirely too much candy
Stopped by the Badgers’ spring game, which was just an excuse to get out and enjoy the warm weather
Indulged in a few of my favorite things
Wore that Gerard Yosca necklace with everything

It’s pretty obvious that I’m anxious for warm weather, considering my Instagram is overrun with flowers and nautical stripes. What can I say? I know what I like. Here are a few of my favorite March moments:

Adding a pair of trendy pearl earrings to my collection
Purchasing a bouquet of tulips, my favorite flower
Wearing this Gerard Yosca necklace with just about everything
Springing for a gorgeous vintage cocktail ring
Working on an upcoming April collaboration with Gerard Yosca—there’s even a giveaway in it for you
Splurging on a pair of Tory Burch shoes that match almost everything in my closet…
…and loving how they look with this Emma McKinstry necklace
Swooning over a surprise gift from Meghna Designs
Arranging a vase full of daffodils

It’s depressing to go through my photos and realize that we barely left the house in February, but it’s even more of a downer knowing that we were shut-ins in January too. Until it’s warm enough to leave the house, here’s another month of at-home highlights:

Making the most of a sick day in banana-print pjs
Purchased two pairs of printed flats for spring: stripes and banana leaves
Kept the cat company
Dressed up in a lovey-dovey print
Picked out a new lipstick
Wore mint and black
Added a pair of botanical-print shorts to my wardrobe after The Great Closet Cleanout
Splurged on a classic black satchel with a portion of my tax return (the rest is earmarked for our European vacation)
Celebrated Valentine’s Day in the best possible way: beer, pizza, and the prettiest bouquet of flowers

Obviously I didn’t leave the house much in January, thanks to the biting cold of the polar vortex. At this point, I think we all deserve an early spring! Here’s hoping the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow in a couple of days.

In January, I…

Wore this Chloe + Isabel arrow necklace (enter to win one here)
Dreamed of a tropical escape
Purchased my first bouquet of tulips of the season
Won a lovely polka dot clutch from Kayu that I can’t wait to wear with these Julie Vos earrings
Spent a lazy morning in bed with the cat
Found a pretty cocktail dress at Express of all places
Layered two of my favorite everyday rings from Karen Hsiang and Cynthia Jones
Braved the polar vortex in a pair of bright wellies from Joules
Opted for a summery mani and pedi
