Happy Tuesday, loves!

Ok, so by "Hot" I mean about 75, and by "City" I mean a really small town.  But something about this simple outfit of pattern plays & a turban has that song playing in my head on repeat.  

I am a big fan of using silk scarves and strips of fabric as a diy turban on the weekends.  It's an easy way to add a chic & fun element to a simple outfit.  But sometimes they are not the easiest thing for a Type-A to perfect (and to keep retying and retying...and retying..)  Good news, Gina Made It has lessened the struggle for all of us.  These ready to wear turbans are actually just headbands.  Easy peasy.  Gina Made It has all of your necessary preppy hair accessories for Summer styling. - like the bun bow & knotted sparkly headband. ... AND Gina makes them in NC which makes my heart happy.  

I know this Blush Boutique tissue tank is going to be a staple this summer.  I love tops that have a hint of texture to them, and the relaxed feel of it will be perfect paired with linen or palazzo pants this summer.  I also have some new favorite arm candy.  You can shop the indigo bangle at Leopard & Latte ...and you can shop it 20% OFF with code MAGGIE20 and the anchor bracelet from Pink Pineapple Shop is just too adorable for Summers at the beach!

Only four more days to freedom...

Spring Bags & Puppies

Happy Wednesday, loves!

Today my girl Shannon from Upbeat Soles and I are teaming up to show you two ways to style your bright Spring bags.  First of all, let me tell you how much I adore Shannon and her style.  She is such a boho babe and I know you will fall in love with her blog.  You can find all of her outfit deets here.

Who doesn't love a bright crossbody or tote for Spring?!  It can add such a needed pop of color (I love the contrast of Shannon's pink bag against the white denim) or create a fun rainbow effect like in my look.  

Gotham Decay tote c/o | The Girl That Loves top c/o | Leopard & Latte tassel c/o |

 Gina Made It headband c/o | similar pants | shoe option ; love these | Gotham Decay cuff c/o

Do you know what I love about this Gotham Decay tote even more than the vibrant lavender hue and spacious interior?!  The fact that it is completely animal and cruelty free.  Yep, I know.  Amazing quality and nobody got hurt.  As a vegetarian and fur-mom (and someone who sobs uncontrollably at the ASPCA commercials...seriously, I cannot watch them) I completely applaud the GD brand for giving fashionistas the option of a "better leather" bag.  I love having the option of sporting a Gotham Decay tote, clutch or cuff (did you see the matching cuff? adorable, right?) and saving a life.  And I know my two peanuts do too.  You are going to swoon over the Gotham Decay collection right now.  I already sport this clutch on the regular (see here) and I have my wishlist stocked with this structured tote and a fun hologram bag.

I know there is a lot going on in this look, but I feel that it still jives.  This blouse from The Girl That Loves is sups bright and cheery (again, I cannot tell you guys how obsessed I am with this company.  Everything in their line calls out to me in my sleep) and I finally got out of my hair down-parted slightly to the right-loose curls hairstyle with a fun new accessory from Gina Made It.  This sparkly, knotted hairband is just what this blogger needed for these crazy windy Spring days, and it helps get me out of my hairstyle slumps.  

Thanks for staying with me.  Enjoy your hump day!
