It is a BEAUTIFUL day here in North Carolina -- it is definitely making my spring fever even worse! Though the snow days the past few weeks have been kind of "fun," I am so ready to break out shorts, Jack Rogers, and sundresses. And...there are only 32 days left until our cruise! I am so excited, I can hardly wait. It'll be so nice to escape for a week to the Caribbean.
There are so many spring pieces that I want to add to my wardrobe!
Here are a few things I stumbled upon this week!
What are must-haves for your spring wardrobe?
happy day!
I have been terrible at posting this week! School and babysitting has taken over my life already, so my spare time has gone to SW, friends, the fam and the pup.
But, crazy for NC, it has snowed twice in the last week! Last Thursday and Friday it snowed just enough to say it snowed, and most of yesterday was filled with snow and sleet. Last week it didn't make the roads too bad, but this storm had made everything VERY icy...which is a struggle for those of us who aren't used to this kind of weather. The past 2 days have barely gotten out of the 20s, if at all.
So what has been keeping me warm on these freezing days?
Right after Christmas, I purchased a great Michael Kors coat. I thought it was going to be a lightweight raincoat, but it turned out to have thermal insulation on the inside. I was a bit disappointed at first, but I have been so glad to have it this winter!
I am also a huge fan of pashmina scarves. I have so many in so many different cord and prints but I have a few favorites. Yesterday I opted for a cashmere blend scarf from Gap. It is so thick and warm that is perfect for a freezing and snowy day like yesterday.
I paired a thick pair of leggings with dark chocolate Uggs. I absolutely love them. I don't find them all that cute but for a day when you're only going to school, they are cozy, comfortable and warm.
Combined with a t-shirt and thick caramel-colored ruffle sweater, I was so comfy for a day that turned into a night in.
What do you wear on a cold dreary day?

I've always thought that posts and magazine articles that include the contents of a handbag is a neat thing to do, so I thought I would create my own!
Things may change every so often, but there are a few things I can't live without. My bag will always have some kind of lip gloss, lip balm, lotion, and hand sanitizer. Most recently I've been carrying my Nook with me -- I have breaks at school plus I babysit for a sweet little boy, so I catch up on some reading or the latest edition of a magazine. I never go anywhere without sunglasses. Gum is a must -- and Orbit Sweet Mint is probably my favorite! And I love my Michael Kors wallet -- it still has that "new factor" from Christmas (this isn't the exact one, but it's pretty close!).
What's in your bag?

I don't know about anyone else, but I always get a case of the January blues. This year hasn't been too terribly bad since our Carolina weather has been relatively fair and nice, but something about this time of year just makes me wish for something different. Part of me is missing the warmth and cheer of Christmastime, but the other part of me is ready for the beautiful and sunny weather of summer.
But, today is a great day, because my friends and I booked our spring break trip -- a Royal Caribbean cruise to Cozumel and Belize! Though I love traveling, I've never been on an ocean cruise (a European river cruise, but that's completely different!), and I am so excited to see what it is all about! But now my mind is on swimsuits, sundresses, and a temperature that's right around the 80s. On March 2nd, we will leave from Ft. Lauderdale for 6 days in the sunshine, and I can't wait!
I put together a few things that would be great for a cruise headed to a tropical destination -- but looking at all of these clothes isn't helping my spring fever...I'm ready to go now. The good news is, only 47 days! (only...)
(clearly, I love coral a little too much...)
What's your dream destination?
xoxo.
I love award season. Though watching the actual telecast of the awards shows is nice, I really love watching celebs arrive on the red carpet. It's been gown overload the past two days between Miss America and the Golden Globes. I of course have some favorites from tonight!
My absolute favorite goes to Kate Hudson. She was absolute perfection in her low-cut black gown. The low-cut neckline and sleek fit contrasted with the sleeves. I loved the gold accents on the dress.
I'm a Jennifer Garner fan, so I had to include her. I thought she looked gorgeous in her red shimmering gown.
Megan Fox was beautiful as always! I love when she chooses light and neutral colors. She has an incredible body shape, and the color paired with her long dark hair gave off an old Hollywood vibe. I thought she pulled off the look effortlessly.
Finally, Jessica Alba stunned on the red carpet. The color of her gown was perfection! It's rare that I see her in anything I don't like, but once again, she showed her style and elegance in this beautiful gown.
Though these were my top 4, there were a few other celebrity looks that I liked as well. I loved the mint color of Jessica Chastain's gown (and I just love her in general), and Miss Golden Globe Francesca Eastwood was beautiful as well.
What were your favorites?
xoxo.
