Mint Madness

For Easter, my mom sent me the sweetest care package full of snacks and surprises.  One of the items she included was this gorgeous Mint Crossbody bag from Target.  The color is more vibrant in real life, and I wish it came across as minty in the picture above! I saw it when I was home for spring break and hinted (not so subtly) that I was obsessed with it.  I have always loved the color (as you can probably tell from the current blog background!) and I knew the bag would be perfect for spring and summer.  I often find I can't actually wear clothing this color, with my fair skin the cool color tends to wash me out, so I gravitate towards more vibrant hues.  Because of this, I am always looking for fun accessories in order to get a splash of mint in my life.  I can't wait to pair this bag with any and everything.  It has 2 compartments and is larger than most of my cross-body bags which will be good when I am on the go this summer.  

The Turquoise Cutout Necklace pictured is from J. Crew Factory and I am in love with it.  I've worn it almost everyday since I got it.  I wear so much black, especially on nights out, and this turquoise adds the perfect pop of color to any outfit.  It looks great with a little black dress - the geometric shapes look so cool.  It goes well with anything and I can't wait to pair it with hot pink or white this summer!

Lust List

It’s been a while since my last lust list! Shopping is a weakness of mine, I love to browse and check out all of the new products (who doesn’t?) To keep myself from going into debt, I will write down things I am obsessed with and save them for birthday or Christmas presents (that way when family members ask I can give them an idea of things I would love!) Or, even better, wait until they go on sale! Here are some things I’ve been lusting over lately.

J Crew Wool Fedora - I got a grey floppy wool hat in the beginning of the season at Anthropologie and I am obsessed with it! Since then I find myself eyeing every hat I see! I love this black one at J Crew, it’s so cute and perfect for Fall/Winter months when it’s too cold to function but you still want to look cute (story of my life, ugh)

Mermaids Don't Do Homework Embroidered T-Shirt - I have been in love with this t-shirt since I saw it on Pinterest.  I love the saying and think it is so cute! I don’t normally shop at Brandy Melville just because the clothes they carry aren’t totally my style, but I am so tempted to pick this up next time I am in SoHo!

J Crew Embellished Sweatshirt - Another J Crew option (are you surprised?) This sweatshirt is amazing, and according to my mom looks like something I would love – maybe that’s why it’s on my Lust List! I love the embellishments. I am always a fan of a “fancy” sweatshirt!

Anthropologie Leopop Flared Dress - I recently saw this dress online and fell in love! Such a cute, simple dress that still has an impact! I am excited to check it out in person and see how it looks when it’s on!

Embroidered Intarsia Camel Sweater – This new J Crew Factory arrival is adorable, I am obsessed with animal sweaters to begin with, add tassels and I am sold! Such a cute sweater - I am dying to get my hands on it soon!

Jack Rodgers Marianne Bootie - These new Jack Rodgers boots are incredible.  I love my Jack Rodgers sandals and when I saw these I immediately fell in love! I don’t know if they are as hard to break in as the sandals are but they sure are cute! These are definitely on my wish list for fall!

GiGi New York Uber Clutch – I am in love with this embossed python clutch! This stone color is incredible and so versatile, plus you can get your monogram embossed on it, and we all know I love a good monogram!

Kate Spade Eat Cake for Breakfast iPad cover – The Eat Cake for Breakfast tote might have been my favorite Kate Spade bag ever, it’s not sold anymore and if I find it somewhere you best believe I will be buying it ASAP! Since that might not happen, this iPad cover can give me my fill of the adorable design. I was so happy they brought it back!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight Fragrance  – I love Marc Jacobs perfume, I wear the original Daisy and Dot all the time.  The newest Daisy scent is so nice! It’s more floral, very light and fun.  And the bottle is super cute - I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Roses de Chloé Fragrance – Another floral scent, can you catch a theme here? ;) I think perfume is a great gift, especially if you know a friend or family member loves a particular scent.  I have always loved the smell of roses and this perfume is so fresh and delicate, perfect for any occasion!

Frends Headphones – I have seen these all over Instagram and they look amazing, I don’t know how great the quality is but they sure are gorgeous to look at! I especially love this pair, made in collaboration with Bauble Bar.
