Loving Spring

We took advantage of our spring weather by getting serotonin from a weekend of outdoor picnics! Def rec making it IG worthy with flowers, food, and friends!

To save time, I bought most of the food from a local bakery and Costco.

We up-recycled these flowers from a friend's wedding!

To save money, this floral blanket was thrifted for $5!

If I had $$$

If I had an extra $15K I would buy the following dresses from D&G's 2015 Portofino line for spring and summer!

 

Portofino Printed Cotton Poplin Mini

 

Portofino Printed Silk-Chiffon Gown

 

Printed Silk Mini Dress

These dresses are all from 2015, so the links go to the current 2016 Portofino line with new prints in similar styles.  

*le sigh, so unaffordable....Will there ever be a Dolce&Gabbana collab with H&M or Target??  Probs not, but a girl can dream!

DotsDotsDots

I believe polka dots are trending, in all sizes and color! However, I prefer my dots in neutrals since the pattern's fun.

Spring Wish-list

Officially, it's spring. 

Unfortunately, nothing about the recent weather or weather to come includes breezes, sunshine, or happy birds.

But that doesn't mean I can't make my wish-list now!

I decided to post this before continuing my rants about endless choices and my indecisiveness... At least one thing's for sure, I know I need more staples!

White Denim Short

Printed Miniskirt

Perfect Sandal

Cropped Jean

Floral Print ______

Leather Buckle Belt

Relatively short, but I'm very picky about color, fabric, fit, pattern, size, and price, so it's going to be difficult to cross everything off!

Here's to each of us completing our wish-lists!
