Swingy + Springy with Crosby by Mollie Burch

Happy Tuesday! I've been seriously MIA the past few weeks, as Harrison and I have been dealing with some tough stuff (thank you to all who have had us in your prayers!) But after a much-needed break, I'm back to the real world and so excited about everything SPRING. Today I'm sharing one of my absolute favorite tops from an amazing brand right here in Atlanta. If you haven't heard of Crosby by Mollie Burch, you are missing out. Her stuff is so colorful, flattering, on trend and so much more! I'll be sharing a few more items from her collection, but today I had to share this top that I've been dying over. The neckline is super flattering on most any body type, it is swingy and colorful and I LOVE the back. Also?! It comes in a dress version that would be perfect for anything from a night out, to a shower, cocktail party or wedding.

Loft Friends + Family Sale Picks

   

Happy Tuesday! We are finally back from our California trip and settling back into normal life. That three hour time difference is really hitting me! Does anyone else feel this way after traveling west? We had such a great trip but it is always so nice to come home, especially when coming home to incredible weather AND a big sale! Today is the Loft Friends & Family Sale which means 40% off EVERYTHING with code FRIENDS. I'm sharing all my faves with you and they're perfect for this springy weather. 

A couple of highlights :: 

I love this off-the-shoulder top and it comes in a dress form, too! 

How perfect is this dress for Easter?! I know I'm a little late but you can definitely still get it in time if you order today.

I'm all about one-shoulder tops, too. This one is only available in a few sizes, but there are lots of other off-the-shoulder tops in Loft's spring lineup! Like this eyelet one!

I'm obsessed with the pattern and material of this top

I'm all about an off-the-shoulder that has straps so you don't deal with the elastic neckline riding up! This chambray is perfect and goes with everything.

If you don't own a denim jacket, you need one and this is it. I love the medium wash and casual feel!

The cutest pom pom LBD

The perfect weight cardigan for spring, plus it's open front and long which is the most flattering cut!

Lots of cute shorts like mine (now on super sale and in limited sizes) are linked below!

Loren Hope Sleek Silver Collection

   

Happy Tuesday! I'm super excited to be partnering up with one of my favorite jewelry brands, Loren Hope, to share some of their Sleek Silver collection with you. If you don't follow Loren Hope or haven't seen her jewels, you are MISSING OUT. I have been in love with her stuff for awhile now; it's so fun, unique, colorful and made here in the USA which I love. Her spring collection is all about SILVER. Although I am more of a gold girl, I have to tell you I've been wearing these bracelets all. the. time. The metal and stones are so pretty, and they're perfect for dressing up or down. 

I have always had big wrists, y'all. I don't have those tiny petite slender wrists that look good with anything on them and bangles that almost fall off. I have to shove most bangles over my knuckles to get them on and sometimes I just ditch the bracelets because of it. That's why I love this wrap bracelet and adjustable cuff. They are easy to put on, easy to adjust and don't hurt my wrists. 

These bracelets are so versatile; you could dress them up for a wedding or cocktail party, and down with a t-shirt and jeans. My shorts + top + earrings are linked.

Shop them, plus more of my favorite Loren Hope pieces below. 

Chambray + White

  

Happy Monday! Today I'm setting out to cure your Monday blues with the cutest chambray top for spring and summer. It's embroidered, the straps come to a V in the back, it's swingy around the middle and looks expensive but it's from GAP, y'all... AND it's 40% off today!

Here's a preppy spring look with some edgy twists...

Also, I totally forgot my strapless bra (major fail) while shooting this look, so you'll take one of two things away from these photos - the conclusion that Courtney needs to wear a bra, OR "Hey, I could do this top without a bra!"

I LOVE these espadrilles because although you can't tell in the photo, they're textured metallic. They go with everything, are slimming on the legs/ankles and add some prep to any look.

These earrings have been a major favorite of mine, as well as my new sunglasses with a rose gold lens. Shop the full outfit below, necklace is linked HERE.

Flirty Swim Suits | Ruffles + Scallops + Designer Dupes

  

Happy Thursday! I'm leaving for California next week, so in light of beachy travels I'm sharing some of my favorite bathing suits to get you summer-ready. I have found some of my favorite suits this season at unexpected places AND I've found a great designer dupe that I have to fill you in on... 

LOFT Swim has some amazing scalloped pieces that look like Marysia at a fraction of the price (like this black one)! I wouldn't normally post a bikini photo because yikes! but I wanted you to see how it looks on. *PSA - I've found that the LOFT Swim tops run a little big, while the bottoms were true to size (I got medium in both and could have used a small top).

JCrew has some great Marysia dupes, too! They're all linked at the bottom of the post.

How cute is this orange bikini with hints of ruffle detailing?! Plus it's on super sale. I really like the quality and the fit of the LOFT bikinis I've bought. I'm done with my Target days and now really value a well-fitting, flattering suit. I can attest that both of these flattering and comfortable! 

Shop these, and more of my favorite swim suits below.

Tie-Front Tops

   

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite spring trends, tie-front blouses. I always love tying up a button-down or tee in front for a different look, but I've recently found some that are actually MADE to tie. This is amazing because it takes less effort, and makes it a lot less awkward (AKA accidentally showing midriff through your DIY knot). This puts a new "twist" (pun intended) on a classic chambray and I love it! 

I also love how many of these tops are higher in the front and longer in the back, making them perfect for pairing with higher waisted pants or shirts.

I think it's acceptable to wear white denim all year long, but now that spring is here it is OFFICIALLY acceptable. I paired this top with my favorite white jeans, easy + lightweight earrings, plus bangles + espadrilles for an easy springy look.

My particular top has sold out :( but not to worry - there are plenty to be had! I've linked all my favorites below :: 

The Perfect Spring Jumpsuit

   

Happy Tuesday! We came back from the beach to 38 degree temperatures and I am so NOT pleased, y'all... Scratch last week's post that spring is officially here! In the meantime, I'm sharing some spring inspiration with my new favorite jumpsuit. I splurged a little bit on this one but it is SO worth it. This jumpsuit is flattering, SO COMFY, lightweight, and easy to get in and out of (because we all know the pain that is using the ladies' room in a jumper or a romper - it can be TOUGH.) Oh, and most importantly? It has pockets (!!)

This jumpsuit is awesome for so many occasions... traveling, lunching, shopping, sitting, standing, walking (catch my drift?) Basically anything. And, it comes in another color which I'm highly contemplating biting the bullet on!

Spring Things

   

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm sharing a few fun things with you. First of all, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it is OFFICIALLY spring. The reason I feel like I can do this is that I've looked at the 15 day forecast and there are only TWO days that get below 60. So I'm jumping the gun and putting away my boots, heavy sweaters and outerwear (praise hands!!) 

*I also have a quick apology / explanation of sorts. Lately, I have been feeling super behind and guilty about not blogging as regularly or frequently as I should. Same with social media. There have been days where I honestly just don't feel like it and days where I just DON'T. HAVE. TIME. I have had to remind myself numerous times that I am not a full-time blogger. I am a full time wardrobe and interior stylist, and the blog began as a place for my clients to be able to come and get inspiration. I love how it has grown and I absolutely love blogging, but I've found myself comparing my blog, my following, my posts, etc. to other bloggers and have decided to cut myself some slack. [Do any other bloggers who have other jobs struggle with this?!]
SO, what that means is you'll see phases where I blog a ton (probably because I just had a photo shoot so I have lots of content to share), and phases where I'm lucky if I blog once a week. I hope you still follow along and keep up!

Enough talk, let's get to today's post. 3 things...

1 | new specs from GLASSESUSA
First up, my experience with GlassesUSA! I don't need glasses to see on a regular basis, but when I worked in print advertising and was looking at the computer screen or editing print all day long, my eyes started kind of freaking out. Years ago, I got my first glasses and wore them at that job but honestly forgot about them and actually lost them in between moves. When GlassesUSA reached out, I was super excited to choose some fun new specs! 

It took me awhile to get used to these because they're pretty big. I know that's the style, but I was a little hesitant. 

I was surprised with how easy the process was, and how great the pricing was. I've been asked by people what designer brand these are, what designer site these came from. This particular pair is only $89. Click HERE to browse all their awesome collections! And click HERE if you love this cold-shoulder top as much as I do, and need one in your closet.

*this post is sponsored by GlassesUSA, but all opinions are my own. 

2 | spring PILLOW REFRESH
Anyone else start running around their house like a psycho making decor changes when warm weather hits? It drives Harrison crazy, but I love doing some "spring cleaning" aka redecorating and using a season change as my excuse. While Harrison was out of town this weekend, I did a simple little pillow refresh. I love how the tones brighten our room up! 

I also put up these "X" + "0" prints above our night stands. I purchased them on etsy and then printed and framed them. They pull in a pop of peach like the leopard pillow.

Loft Sale Picks

   

Happy Monday! Today is the LAST day of 40% off everything at Loft, so I'm here with some favorites! I am absolutely loving Loft's selection lately. Sometimes they can be a little bit hit or miss, but their most recent items are pretty yummy; so many cute spring patterns, off-the-shoulder goodness and pretty colors! A few highlights that I LOVE for spring - 

this one-shoulder number

this tasseled cape with arm holes (major bonus because I hate when ponchos and capes slide off you constantly!) that I'll be bringing with me for cool nights out.
