Splurge vs. Save

It's finally starting to heat up a little outside, enough for only a light jacket. Because spring is in the air and splurge vs. save posts are some of my favorite to write, I wanted to share a fabulous deal on probably my favorite item in my closet. Introducing: The Downtown Field Jacket

Splurge: J. Crew Downtown Field Jacket ($150) // Save: H&M Jacket ($40)

This J. Crew jacket is hands down one of my most worn pieces in my closet. It matches with everything and can be dressed up or down so effortlessly. Needless to say, it is for sure worth the splurge, but don't fret, you can save over half the price with this cool, casual H&M option.

See how I styled the J. Crew Jacket {here} and {here}

Happy Weekend + Inspiration

Happy Friday! This week wasn't half bad for the first week back from spring break. Catching up with friends is always fun and I didn't mind everyone's spring break tans too much this year, because I finally got a little sunkissed myself this time around! {Last year I was so burned, it wasn't even funny!}

Just a little Friday inspiration to help us stay positive- the best is out there! Speaking of the best, how to die for is this home tour of Meredith Miller's "bright abode". I wouldn't mind moving in this weekend... I'm not thaaat busy ;) 

Have a good one!

AZ Top 10 // Spring Break Recap

Arizona was so much fun. I think the thing that I loved most about my vacation was just the fact that I could spend a week in 90 degree temps while it snowed in MKE. 

Arizona, as I mentioned {here}, was so beautiful. Although there were quite a few cacti, I still spotted a little greenery here and there.

Taking a Pink Jeep Tour was one of the highlights of my trip. Sedona is basically famous for these tours, and they are totally worthwhile.

Again, AZ is so beautiful. Not everyday do you drive through a highway with a view like this.

Sunset from the car window... We rented a Mustang Convertible. Ha

Another sunset from the back of my Pink Jeep ;)

Does this remind you of ice cream too?

The view is almost unreal

Fun fact: I'm obsessed with palm trees.

I think I would've been happy going anywhere for spring break as long as there were palm trees and it was over 70 degrees.

And another shot from an outfit post you can see {here}.

Where did you go for spring break?

Weekend Recap

I hope you all had a lovely and blessed Easter weekend. My vacation came to an end, and my last day of spring break is today. To say I'm not looking forward to returning to school tomorrow is an understatement, but I don't really have a choice ;)

My spring break recap will be up in a few days but for now here are a few snaps from my Instagram to catch up on:

There were lots of delicious treats to be had over break, so much that I'm started to get anxiety over how I'm gonna organize my recap {#bloggerprobs}. I have to say the best food all trip was an assortment of a whole dozen Sprinkles cupcakes... #yesplease.

The best part about Arizona was the views. I seriously don't think I've ever been somewhere that everywhere you turn you can see something so beautiful. There will definitely be more pics of that to come!

Finally, yesterday was a wonderful Easter Sunday. I donned a favorite Lilly dress of mine, and of course accompanied it with a monogram.

How was your weekend?

Stacked Rings

I hope you're all having a good week. My spring break has been fabulous so far and I've been blessed with great weather and a wonderful time. A Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off 5th opened in Milwaukee near my house a few weeks ago and I have to say that it was super exciting for me. Being the designer enthusiast that I am, I was thrilled for the new additions in the shopping realm of MKE. Unfortunately, I visited both stores and they were extraordinarily sub-par. Honestly, I don't think I'll be back any time soon. However, I did spot some cute rings at Nordstrom and it really got me into the trend of stacking rings. I wouldn't consider myself trendy, but I do like to keep up on things {hello, I am a fashion blogger!} and I think this whole stacking thing is really cute.

This ring thing is everywhere... Shop my faves below:

I think the "ring thing" is so cool because you can purchase stacks or separates, and you can even wear them in the middle of your finger. How do you feel about the trend?
