spring things

Our yard is in full bloom. It's looking like spring!

I've always been a pearl girl, but I thought I was set with my classic short and long single strands, single strand bracelet, and simple, small studs. Now that I've played with some Waccamaw Pearls, I want even more, fun pearls. 

This triple strand, mixed texture necklace is the perfect combination of classic, fun, and affordable.

I found this floral square in a box with one of my grandmother's clutches and felt it would go perfectly with our blooming yard. I think pocket squares are a nice touch on men, and I've had fun folding them to go in a man's pocket. The pocket on my blazer is much smaller than on a man's blazer, though!

Easter outfit 2014

You know when you were little, you had to have a new Easter dress each year. Little white gloves and a hat, too. I've matured a bit past having to have a new Easter dress every year. But then, I have a new dress this year! 

If you are into getting new dresses every year, check out Lilly Pulitzer's spring collection. I loved Lilly in high school and college and then was kind of over it until this spring. They came out with a fabulous collection that reminds me of what they were doing ten years ago. In the best way. The shift dresses are so tempting. When Kelly gave me a gift card to Palm Avenue for my birthday, I tried on the shifts in store and settled on this Liz shift in Sweet Tart Yellow Crazy Cat House. 

I'm also wearing one of my favorite accessories from Waccamaw Pearls--this pearl headband! I'm a headband fan, but I usually take them off during the day because I start getting a headache. This strand of real pearls has a stretchy hairband attached so that it stays comfortable for hours. I'm crazy about this headband and think that it is the perfect compliment to any Easter dress.
