happy monday! hope everyone had a lovely weekend! as mentioned earlier, one of my best friends came down to visit for the day so we went to the beach. considering it was cinco de mayo, it was busier than i thought it would be. it was such a beautiful day and by the late afternoon, people were barbecuing in their cottages. don't you just love the delicious smell of food cooking on the barbecue? one of my favorites is barbecued corn! 

about this outfit, i love the color of this madewell skirt and just simply paired it with a thin white top. my tory burch sandals feel like i'm not even wearing them...so much so that you really can't even see them from the pictures. ha! i also wore it here. it's too bad, my bathing suit top didn't really show, but i'll take another picture of it and post it later...

nothing says spring this season like pastels, scarf prints, (and neon). this zara dress is so easy to wear and just perfect for spring! zara's online free shipping has made shopping easier (and dangerous) for a mom like myself who can't always go to the mall. like my sister said, now i can try on clothes in the comfort of my own home! 

don't you just love when you find an article of clothing that you know you will have for a very long time? this dress is also versatile- i can dress it down or dress it up. the design and colors are just perfect! if you haven't noticed, mint seems to be my go-to color lately! what's not to like?

cheers!

in a previous post, i talked about spring cleaning (here) and i decided to take my own advice. so, i've cleaned out of my closet, donated a lot and sold a few things, and now, i wanna share with you a few of my current spring finds and things i'm giving a new life. you've seen them in a few posts, but i can't wait to pair them with other things in my closet!!!

i hope everyone had a wonderful easter sunday and had your fair share of chocolates, cupcakes, and candies! we went to brunch at our favorite local bakery and cafe (petite madeline) and picked up a few goodies...though we didn't get a lot as my husband isn't a sweet tooth and i am! i visited petite madeline a lot while i was pregnant and happily enjoyed one of their delicious deserts and a cup of chai latte each time! 

the teal, mint, and blues are a few of my favorite color this season...hence, my minty-colored accessories, which you will most likely see in later posts! neon hasn't invaded my wardrobe just yet, but i've had this orange belt for a couple of years and thought it was a perfect pop to this dress. what are your favorite colors this season? 

ps. our scottie couldn't resist making a small cameo in the top picture!

happy tuesday! as a new mom, i've been trying to put easy outfits together that work with my style, but are also functional for my "mommy duties". i've been wearing this lace striped top a lot recently (with tank top underneath), and i'm enjoying my new favorite tory burch sandal! i love that they feel like they're not even there! what's your favorite footwear or footwears (let's face it, it's easy to "love a lot" of shoes at one time!) for the spring/summer season?

thanks for visiting! hope to hear from you!
