This week, I’m smitten with:

  • Round retro sunglasses. This pair is a splurge and comes in seven colors. Love the look, but don’t want to spend that much? This pair is just $26 and comes in nine colors, including a rainbow pastel version.
  • An eyelet romper.
  • White minimalist nail polish. Clinique polishes are my favorite. I have the color “Hi Sweetie,” which has full coverage with one coat. It dries fairly quickly and lasts for days. A second coat looks nicer, but sometimes I just don’t have the time for it!
  • Embellished espadrille sandals. This pair reminds me of something Miu Miu would make, but they’re a heck of a lot more reasonable at $117.
  • This sleek leather tote for just $148. It’s hard to find a budget-friendly real leather tote that looks as sophisticated as this one. It’s made of saffiano leather, which I love because it’s durable and easy to wipe down if it gets wet. The tote comes in black, beige, and pink.
  • An oversize flower cocktail ring. It’s huge and I adore everything about it, especially the caged freshwater pearl center.
  • This darling crop top to wear with the season’s high-waisted skirts.

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.
