April showers bring May flowers, thus creating the perfect setting for a springtime picnic. Though the weather in L.A. has been sweltering as of late, it’s supposed to cool down just in time for the weekend. Urban Outfitters’ Medallion Picnic Tapestry with Tote is such a fun twist on the typical wicker basket in a colorful medley of yellows and golds. This light-weight, textured tapestry can be folded at the foot of the bed, thrown over a couch or even used to cover a wall if outdoor dining isn’t your thing. The most genius concept is the matching tote, that I could easily see myself carrying in the morning at the farmer’s market, only to later use to transport my blanket to the perfect picnic location.

Lulu’s Dandelion Scarf has just the right amount of detailing to make it the perfect accessory for spring. With a myriad of browns and grays, it complements pretty much any color, whether it be a white gauzy dress or a bright fuscia top. With light fringe along the edges, and the sheer, quail-like pattern, I could just as easily imagine wrapping it up in my hair as I could wearing it loosely around my neck. Perhaps the most surprising part, however, is that this scarf costs $13. For this great price, I can buy several additional pieces for my summer wardrobe, all of which will work nicely with this amazingly chic scarf.

If you were almost creeped out at how familiar this bedroom appeared to you at first, don’t be ashamed. Carrie Bradshaw’s life on the hit HBO series, ‘Sex and the City,’ undoubtedly impacted hordes of women, myself certainly included. That’s why, on Saturday, when I visited Bloomingdale’s one-day home sale, it was Carrie’s bed that came to mind when picking out something that would fit my decor. Though I had originally hoped to find crisp bedding trimmed with a simple border, that look is far too Upper East Side, if you will, versus my flea-market inspired apartment. Though I ultimately walked out of the sale empty handed, I at least have more of an idea of what it is I’m looking for, at least when it comes to my bed.
