Spring Breakin'


Crazy hair day cure: floral bow (from Target).

One of the (best) perks of having a husband in grad school has been his schedule. It's highly likely we won't ever have a month and a half off during the holidays like we did this past December or the chance to spend most Fridays together. At least not for a very long time, which is why we will be taking full advantage of his spring break this week. We are flying off to North Carolina this morning and are anxiously awaiting a low key week filled with nothing but beach side lounging and indulgent barbecues with close friends. 

And here are some "mini moments" from my unusually sunny weekend.


My spring break beauty essentials: Estee Lauder Bronzer, Nars Super Orgasm Illuminator, Chanel June (on my fingers) + Particuliere (on my toes) and ILIA Nobody's Baby Lip Conditioner.  


Parker Strapless Top.  J.Crew Blouse and Necklace.  Current / Elliot Jeans (similar).  The Row Sunglasses.


Heart ribbon makes this already adorable Laduree box (that I now keep earrings in) that much sweeter.


Picked up this pleated Old Navy Maxi dress in yellow (and pink!) this weekend.

I adore that apricot Chanel nail polish. So pretty! I have paler skin, so I love that it doesn't make you look washed out!

I can't get enough of how you styled the strapless peplum top over the striped tee. Genius styling and way to get more mileage out of an otherwise more dressy piece! The boyfriend jeans are the icing on the cake. Also, loving how Chanel Particuliere is looking based on the bottle. Might have to give this one a try!
