Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day y'all! 

While I wish I could tell you all about my exciting Memorial Day weekend, I spent most of it inside organizing my apartment and studying for a marketing exam. Maymester is a serious buzz kill. But when I did leave finally leave the house today to spend some time by the pool, I tried to add a little patriotic feel to my look. Nothing says America quite like the perfect red lipstick - at least in my opinion. And I am in love with the Tansy Fringe Collar and pretty much try and incorporate it into any outfit I can and today was no exception. I think it pairs great with a bold red lip.

Warm Weather is Here!


Easter Sunday is always a special day, not only is it a great time spent with family and friends consuming way too much champagne and chocolate (at least that's how mine always goes) but it is also a day when you can break out those summer dresses that have been hiding in your closet all winter long. This year my family decided to have brunch and hold our own easter egg hunt for all of our family friends and their children. Let me just tell you that hiding eggs in a dress and wedges is a bit of a challenge. But it was oh so worth it to see how much fun all of the kids had running around and collecting eggs.


This Easter I decided to keep it simple with a newly purchased dress and my go to favorite wedges. They are seriously one of my most comfortable pair of shoes.  I have never been one to believe in the whole "no white after labor day" idea. I truly believe that most can pull off a fabulous winter white. I am against white shoes after labor day, but to be completely honest, I am just against white shoes in general.




Of course, I had to complete the look with some of my favorite spring S&D jewels. The Stone Sutton Necklace - Blue/Green has become one of my spring go to necklaces. The versatility of being able to wear it five different ways makes it a perfect pop of color for most of my outfits. And I love all of the different ways I can play around with it until it looks just right. Even my niece Vivienne had to get in on the S&D fun with her new Sparkle & Shine necklace from our girls line. I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to give it to her, and her easter basket fit just that.


All in all, Easter Sunday was exactly what I expected it to be, a fun day spent surrounded by the people I care about the most. What do you wear for special days like these?
