Faves & Finds | Spring Edit

I have been saving up this group for awhile, since I was traveling most of March. So there’s lots of items here and a few things are from some weeks ago!

But they’re still great, not sold out and maybe on sale!

Click images for links to items.


Love this striped shirt. I would wear that all summer!


Such a cool idea and a nice hostess or birthday gift for a candle loving friend. Can refill it or use it for something else!


This is a great basic from Everlane and so handy to have around in the summer - a cotton crewneck. Comes in black too.


I’m telling ya - some of the most comfy pj’s on the planet. I love them.


Such a pretty blouse and comes in two other gorgeous colors as well.


Isn’t this ceramic shade sconce pretty? So pretty for a bathroom or a feminine room!


I love this whole toile linen collection from COS, that first came up on my radar from Northern California Style. The black/white items are great too. I just see this with jeans or the matching shorts.


I never met a cork shoe I didn’t like. This goes with everything. And it’s just at a 3” heel - my limit.


What a cool mirror for an empty wall. Really interesting.


Just ordered these from Everlane to try, in my quest for some comfortable wide leg jeans. I am trying the ones below also and will update you when they come in and I decide between the two!


These are Levi’s and I’ll pick between the two. I think they’ll be great with a blazer and sneakers or more fitted tops. I just can’t do the wide cropped thing. I feel they make me look shorter and wider. They were ON SALE at this writing!


I love this spring sweater - comes in a pretty yellow too. So nice with cream or white pants.


I do love caned pieces. This Martha Stewart chair is great looking and inexpensive and was available several different places. It was least $$ on Wayfair and Amazon.


Another idea but more than I want to spend…


These drops transform your moisturizer into a self tanner! Has anyone used these? I’m going to try them. These are for the face and they have them for the body too. Very inexpensive per use. Let’s see if they work.


This is a great skirt for summer. It would be great over a swimsuit to go from pool/beach to lunch.

Such a fun tote or pool bag. We carried this inexpensive line at Posh. Really fun stuff.


Love these cool pants from COS. Elastic waist and dark navy abstract are never not in style.


A staple - the black linen shirt. I could not find another J Crew one this year, so this Gap one will do just fine. Comes in tons of colors and is on sale at this writing.


A great collection of cool raffia pillows to lighten up your home for the summer from The Rush House. They also have wonderful straw rugs that you can make bigger or smaller, and make to fit corners. Love all their patterns. They are so simple and never go out of style.


A great oversized summer tee. Good layering basic to add to your wardrobe.


Such a pretty sarong from Farm Rio - instant outfit with a white tee and sandals!


I love me some scallops and these plates would be so pretty for spring and summer tables. The salad plates would be great small plates for any gatherings.


Such a comfy linen jumpsuit for day to night all the way through to next September.


How fun are these switch plates? Love them - they come in matte black also. I know - again with the scallops…


Another interesting dress to try for weddings. Norma Kamali on Amazon.


More fun black sandals. I need to replace some of mine - I’ve been wearing the same sandals for years now and they need replacing.


Another wedding guest contender….


Obsessed.


Love these cute espadrilles from Sam Edelman. I have good luck with that brand.


Fun Files! They come in green too. Work is work but make it cute.


Last idea for wedding. It’s black tie optional and this is really formal…BUT, it shows your shoulders which are the last things to go 🤣 and hides your upper arms. I’m lovin it.

A great set of baskets for a beach house, a playroom or a nursery. Or anywhere if, like me, you like scallops. 😜


A great simple black thong sandal. Love the bow.


These are such a nice combo of casual and dressy. Love them and they’re not gigantic.


This is a great line of neoprene totes that can be snapped together for a more streamline look. They come in lots of fun color/print combos and are wonderful for travel, boating and kids’ games. Even a sporty diaper bag?!


Obsessed with these since I first saw them. They also come in blue. So pretty for spring and summer.


I am going to try this as foundation. They are called Vital Skin Complexion Drops and come in 20 shades. They have all sorts of good stuff in them and once I read “skin seems firmer” - I’m in to try it…Stay Tuned…


A garland made out of recycled saris - such a nice touch for entertaining or an al fresco event.


A pretty rug from Anthropologie. Great for a little girls’ room or nursery, a closet or a sunroom.


Searching for dresses for summer weddings. The struggle is real. No body con with cutouts. ❌ No prairie dresses. ❌ No matronly sequin numbers with giant bows. ❌ No baby doll mini dresses. ❌ This one might work.


This is one of our favorite vendors from the store - Marye Kelley - they do decoupage tissue boxes, waste baskets and frames. They also make metal letter boxes. They can do custom frames, and they have thousands of patterns and colors. Sororities, coastal maps, and more. Great items for bathrooms and bedrooms and super gifts! Love them.


These longer Athleta skorts are so great for walking, boating, gardening, biking and looking cute at the grocery store, if you have nice legs. 😉 I’d have to skip that one. The swingy skirt is very flattering.


Love these wedges with a 2 1/2” heel and the caning is so great.


Trying to decide between these Madewell wide leg white jeans and …..


And these from Lyssé…


This dress is darling. Comes in several colorways. I don’t care for their styling, but the dress is great. I have been following this Anthro label since it’s inception - I think it’s now one of their bestsellers.


Sometimes the best furnishings are found in the kids’ or teens sections!


And there you have it! We’re all caught up on goodness from the interwebs. I wanted to update you on the things that I actually purchased from last time…

Updates…

Got it. LOVE it. Wore it on my trip down south and people were stopping me in the airport!?

Got it. Love it. Great price for Kate Spade.

I have a solid black one and a striped one. I love them for around the house when it’s cold out or errands. So comfy and a really flattering shape.
