Hey guys! are you ready for Spring yet? This post started out as a Lust List but I felt like it was too much gingham and I wanted to focus more on styling the pieces rather than just giving you my fav picks. Gingham has always been a classic and considered a little preppy, but this year it's taken on a little more edge. I couldn't fit this coat in but its so cute and a steal at under $150. This top is EVERYTHING!!! It has a lot going on but it works! Pair it back to white denim shorts or a maxi skirt and throw on a fun neutral earring. 

Dresses are probably one of the easiest ways to rock this trend. I think I may have to grab this one from Solid and Striped. Its so easy to throw on over a bikini on vacation or where around town for lunch and errands. And its also under $150! Gingham doesn't have to just be blue....I love this yellow dress and this neutral one! Need help with this trend? Message me!

STATEMENT NECKLACE

SHOP THE POST

Sooo yup! No hiding this belly anymore! (not that I was trying to but after seeing these pics I remembered I was 9 months pregnant!) This season is all about the statement piece. By now you've definitely seen the famous Rebecca de Ravenel les bon bon earrings which have inspired this similar much more budget friendly pair (both styles a cult favorite among bloggers). I recently purchased the second ones and can't wait to wear them this Spring. But until then, one of my favorite pieces to wear is this Aztec scarf necklace from Mignonne Gavigan. It turns a plain white t-shirt and jeans into a super chic look and these last few days I can use all the help I can get spicing up my maternity tops. I love it so much I'm considering one of their more neutral styles for a more tonal look. Check out some of my favorites below!

STEAL VS. SPLURGE

SHOP THE POST

STEAL blouse // pants // earrings

SPLURGE blouse // pants // earrings

I love a good steal! I ordered this look a couple days ago from Zara and can't wait for it to arrive. I've been in search of a good "safari" style high-wasted pant and I love the front tie. A twist on this classic which was always on the inspo boards at Ralph Lauren. And how amazing is this white blouse? Wear it back to a skirt, jeans, or tucked into your favorite shorts for a chic casual summer look. The splurge version is from one of my favorite brands. You can always count on them for the perfect white blouse (actually two or three styles) every season. I already have my eyes on these styles from pre-fall!

Ok so I've wanted these sandals FOREVER! But with an almost $700 price tag I haven't been able to pull the trigger just yet. There is no question that they are the ultimate investment shoe that I know I'll wear summer after summer with everything. And last but not least....believe it or not the "IT" summer bag this year rings in at less than $150! This style is already being featured on every fashion blog and was sold out before the sun even started shining last year so don't miss out! 

Need help finding the "steal" version of a piece you're currently coveting? Reach out to THE GIRL LOOK BOOK! I love a good challenge:)

HIGH/LOW

SHOP THE POST

BACK IN STOCK!!! So many of you have asked me about this sweater that I posted on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago. It's back in stock in a size S and M, but hurry, it will probably be gone again soon! I love it because its just the right combination of feminine and chic and at under $50, you won't worry about wearing it with the kids. I really haven't had to buy any maternity tops/sweaters this pregnancy and I really have Zara to thank for that! 

High/low dressing is something I've talked a lot about on the blog. I posted the splurge version of this sweater in one of my first Lust Lists. Here is another twist on the original. I bought this sweater too which I can't wait to wear back to my white jeans post baby. One of my favorite things about Zara is that most of their tops are machine washable which makes my life so easy! Here are some of my other top picks from them right now:

TRANSITIONAL JACKETS

Last month a client reached out to me for help packing for an upcoming trip to London. The weather forecast was going to be uncharacteristically warm there and she needed two easy to style jackets that could take her from day to night. This is why I love my job - I love a challenge!!! The above styles all work in milder temperatures and although I paired them back to denim for more casual "day" looks, they can all easily be worn into the evening over a dress, skirt, or crepe pant.  

One of my favorite brands for achieving this look is IRO. Although their prices are not inexpensive, they won't break the bank either. And you can achieve an edgy/French-chic/Chanel-esque look for a fraction of the price. I love this one and this one is a classic. I've had mine for almost five years now and its still my go-to for Spring. Here is an option under $100!
