Lilac Off the Shoulder Top

First of all, how is it already April?! I feel like this year has literally flown by. Maybe last year because I was so focused on the wedding that time seemed slower? Who knows, but I'm so excited to go home for Easter next weekend!

Every Spring I love the pastel hues that hit the store sales floor. I also feel like I re fall in love with the color lilac. It literally used to be my favorite color! My room was even painted a pretty lilac when I was younger. So when I saw this Off the Shoulder top from Dreamboat Boutique I knew it was a Spring must have!

I've paired it with white jeans, wedges & turquoise tassel earrings. I definitely will be wearing this outfit for Easter! The top is super flowy, with gorgeous bell sleeves! A perfect statement detail that will have everyone asking where you bought it. I also love the white lace trim around the top & sleeves. So feminine & literally screams SPRING! The turquoise earrings add another pop of color to complete the look. I also counted how many tassel earrings I have the other day.. it's out of control. Finish off with some pink sunnies & a monogrammed clutch & you're all set! I'm wearing a Medium for size reference.

Definitely check out Dreamboat Boutique for so many other springtime goodies! It's super affordable & who doesn't love supporting small businesses?!

Have a good Thursday! 

The Green Skirt

Happy Easter everyone! I was very blessed to be able to spend the weekend in Richmond, VA with my family. I love all of the fun springtime outfits people wear on Easter Sunday. They are so bright and colorful!

I chose to wear a kelly green skirt from eShakti a customized clothing company! eShakti allows the customer to choose a design and customize the dimensions to your height. When I selected this skirt I was able to decide if I wanted it above, right at, or below my knees. I love that I got a custom piece without the huge price tag.

I picked a piece that I thought was very unique and different than the clothes in my closet. It definitely makes a statement for spring! My favorite part is the white detailing on the bow and that it has pockets!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Home Sweet Apartment

So far we haven't done much decorating in the apartment so I ran errands all day yesterday finding items to brighten up our space!

A lot of the apartments in our complex have wreaths on their front doors. So I decided it would be fun to craft one for ours! I got all of the materials at JoAnn Fabrics, but you can get them at any craft store.

The base of the wreath is foam, and these circles come in different sizes and shapes. I picked one that was medium size. Burlap is the perfect covering, because it goes with any colored flowers and gives an outdoorsy feel. I also picked up wire cutters, greening pins, a door hook and bright fake flowers!

Step 1: Wrap the entire base with burlap using the greening pins to secure it to the foam.

Step 2: Use the wire cutters to cut the flowers and leaves you want to display on your wreath. Make sure to leave part of the stem on the flowers so you can stick them into the foam base. I just played around with the flowers and leaves until I had the design I wanted!

Step 3: Hang it up!

It is so easy to make a unique wreath for your front door, the possibilities are endless! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
