Spring Shoe Trends: Pointed Flats

Since the weather is getting a little bit warmer, and the layers are getting a little bit lighter, it’s also time to finally put away those overly worn boots you’ve been sporting all winter long. I still have yet to do so, and considering I am writing this post while wearing my go-to combat boots, I think it’s time to finally hang them up. Or at least just throw them in the back of my closet until next year. In order to do so, I need to shop for spring shoes first! Which brings me to the first spring shoe trend I will be looking to flaunt – the pointed flat. These are literally everywhere and come in so many different colors, textures, patterns and prints. Personally, I’ll be on the lookout for a classic black pair, and maybe a more of-the-moment floral pair. Here are some I’ve had my eye on:

Happy spring shoe shopping!

Summer Sandals

As I'm getting ready for summer, I typically always end up purchasing three new pairs of sandals. Why three? Although the past few years I have not done it on purpose, thinking about it, it kind of makes sense. It limits my shoe buying, yet gives me enough options - so I'm sticking with it. I've also kept the number three in mind when putting this post together. I've taken three trends that I've been noticing and loving and gave you three options!

How many pairs of sandals are you getting this summer?

Friday Five: Casual Slip-ons

Happppppyyyy Fridayyyyy!! My coffee is finally kicking in, so even though it seems as if it's about to downpour outside any second now, nothing is going to bring me down (at least until this caffeine high wears off). Anyways, today's Friday Five post is all about casual slip-on shoes. I have been wearing my pair of slip-on Converse non stop lately (I have them in white, but how cute is that mint color?!). I'm just not ready to whip out my sandals yet, and I'm typically looking for something a little more casual than traditional flats. I think any of the below five are perfect for this time of year when you want to stay a little more on the casual side. I am absolutely loving the Topshop pair of black espadrilles (no. 2), and I think I may need them in my life. And if the Sole Society striped flats weren't sold out in my size, I'd probably already own them.

Tell Me About It, Stud

If you ever see me out, you will most likely find me wearing stud earrings. I have currently been wearing my pair of pearl earrings, but have been loving some of the colors and trends that I've been seeing this season. Some fun trends to keep an eye out for are floral studs, mainly daisies, and the color turquoise (I've included a few below!). When in doubt, you can never go wrong with any solid gold toned stud - like how cute are those arrows? I'm also really loving the Sunny Daisy stud earrings (third row, first one in) and the Tai Stone studs in mint (third row, fourth one in).

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's Day is coming up shortly (Sunday, May 11) and I still have to pick something out for my mom. Usually my brother and I split the cost of a more expensive gift - he actually gets the credit for picking out her Kindle Fire last year. If you have yet to get your mom something too and are in need of a few ideas, look below! I've picked out a bunch of gifts that I think my mom would love. When in doubt, get her a gift certificate to her favorite hair salon. Flowers are always nice too!

Hope this helps!

Scarfed Up: Spring Scarves

The weather is getting warmer and we are putting away our chunky, bulky cable knit scarves until next season (my boyfriend likes to refer to mine as neck braces). However, this does not mean that we cannot still accessorize with a light-weight scarf. I love wearing scarves in the Spring because it adds so much extra color and can change the whole look of what you're wearing. For instance, if you are wearing a plain white tee, some boyfriend jeans, and a pair of Converse, adding a scarf with a pop of color or print will give your look that little something extra. Below are some scarves that I've picked out that I would totally wear this time of year. I'm especially loving the floral H&M scarf (first row, second one in), and the striped scarf by Steve Madden (second row, first one in). These are all either $50 or under!
