spring cleaning top 5

Spring cleaning is so fun! It's just my favorite! 

Said NO ONE EVER. If anything, hoarding is more my favorite than spring cleaning. 

I used to have people tricked into thinking I was extremely organized. All you had to do was come to my house, and stay ONLY in the living room. And not open any drawers. Or cabinets. Or the coat closet. Unless you wanted to be subject to my secret hoarding shame.

And I don't know how many of you can relate, but the mere IDEA of buckling down and organizing basically any part of my house, had me needing a break. Because (*Kim K voice) this is exhausting.

I feel like social media is currently bombarding me with images of cute girls in their crop tops, allll the fringe, and flower crowns galore. Because Coachella, y'all.

I always get a little jealous of these girls, and their 20 year old abs. Not to mention, their ability to stay awake past 9pm, and the aforementioned fringe. When I start feeling TOO envious though, I take a minute to remember that I would actually HATE Coachella. It's loud, late, hot, dirty, and, again, CROP TOPS.

white jeans with amelia's

Because it's Friday (and on Fridays we FAVORITE), I need to introduce you to one of my favorite boutiques. While showing you one of my FAVORITE trends. 

Try to calm down and manage your excitement. (Or else start a drinking game based on the number of times I call something my favorite.)

(With COFFEE obviously, because it's 9am and this isn't that kind of blog, y'all. Unless it's 5 o'clock somewhere.)

spring break : do's and don'ts

It's that time again, friends. The time where we say BLESS OUR HEARTS and WE CAN (possibly) DO THIS.  

It's spring break, y'all.  

Spring break USED TO mean that I would throw my cutest bathing suits into an overstuffed duffel bag, pile into someone's mom's minivan, and drive 12 hours straight to Miami. Because COLLEGE.

Guys, I feel that it is my DUTY and responsibility to inform you that it's TRIPLE POINTS time at Nordstrom.

*jumps up and down excitedly while simultaneously ripping my Nordstrom card out of my wallet as quickly as possible. 

(jk, I don't even need the card. That number's been memorized for years.)

shirtdress two ways

Y'all, is there any bigger workhorse in our closets than a shirtdress? (Yes, Sherri, they're called sweatpants. AHEM.)

But for real though, allow me to blow your mind. Get a shirtdress.  Wear it proudly, LIKE THE FANCY LADY YOU ARE. (Or at least the one you pretend to be.)

friday faves : my fave bloggers

Before I started blogging, I had a very specific idea about the life of a blogger. I thought it consisted of fun photo shoots, being gifted all kinds of free stuff, and just generally looking put together most of the time. I was certain that bloggers had their ISH together, in a way that I could never. 

And then I became one. And I learned that photo shoots are freezing & awkward, free stuff DOESN'T come pouring out of the UPS truck (unless you're John, in which case it does), and I almost NEVER look put together. Just ask any of my neighbors or basically anyone in my life.

I get it. I totally get it. This trend is a little scary. It feels a little WRONG. But lean in close, and let me tell you something...

Let's be wrong together. 

Jk, this is actually so on trend it's not even funny. So, be prepared to wear booties with your cropped denim and have your friends be all OMG LOOK AT SUSAN, SHE IS A FASHION #BOSS
