Five Things

April 1st, 2011

{Thrilled that Easter treats are readily available}

The fact that I can run out of the house without grabbing a sweater or pulling on tights is just so liberating and fun. And while there’s something to be said about curling up in the winter, I’m always the best version of myself when the days are longer and filled with light. So here’s to a spontaneous weekend that includes great meals, long rides along the coast and an ice cream cone (or two) for good measure.

{Lots of turquoise inspiration at Bead Boutique}

{Adorable labels for different types of cheese}

    I love stripes so much! The Zara top looks like something that my mom would’ve worn way back when – and that I would currently steal from her closet.

    I cannot wait for Easter to get here. Here in the Midwest we are still plagued with cool winter weather. Spring needs to arrive now! :)
