Alex Mill Reversible Button-Back Crewneck Sweater (True cardigan version here.) / J.Crew Demi-Boot Jeans / Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Veja Sneakers (You can also find them here and here.)
I’ve been meaning to review the Alex Mill Reversible Button-Back Crewneck Sweater for the longest time. It’s the best; a timeless staple that works for all four seasons, which it why it comes with me on every trip I take.
I’m looking forward to warmer spring weather, but until then, I’m finding ways to get some wear out of my favorite pieces by layering everyday basics to create transitional outfits for spring. From work wear to weekend outfits, here are three spring layering outfit ideas.
Leret Leret Sweater c/o/ Old Skinny Jeans (But this is the newer pair! And these are awesome and very affordable.) / Jack Rogers Padded Slides / Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Camera + Lens / Sunglasses / Faux Diamond Tennis Bracelet / Lucy’s Jumper, T-Shirt and Toddler Jack Rogers Lauren Sandals
A short walk from Rosemary and Seacrest is Alys Beach, which is pronounced “Alice Beach,” and one of the most interesting places I’ve seen in Florida. It’s very new, and you can see homes going up every which way. The first time I walked through, all I could think was that Marie Kondo and Restoration Hardware partnered to create a Grecian version of The Truman Show? (Fun fact: The Truman Show was shot just down the road in the Seaside.) Ha! Like, everything was so perfect that it almost felt like it wasn’t real. Oh, but it’s real. 😆
Olivier London Bathing Suits (The brand is sadly no longer in business, but I also love Trotters London swimsuits, which feature Liberty of London prints as well. Minnow Swim is amazing, too.) / Jack Rogers Padded Slides, Girls’ Slides, and Toddler Sandals (They’re BACK!) / Men’s Vineyard Vines Shep Shirts / My Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt (This one has the BEST material!) / Mom’s Joules Pullover / Lucy’s Scooter / My Dragon Diffusion Tote / Camera + Lens / Sunglasses
I’ll be honest: I had never considered visiting the Florida Panhandle before moving to Chicago. My knowledge of Florida in general was fairly limited, though my grandparents did (and still do) live in West Palm Beach. When my parents were starting about retiring to the Sunshine State, they considered Naples and Sanibel/Captiva, and we loved exploring those areas with them! But in the end, I think everyone realized that the 30A area made the most sense because of its proximity to New Orleans, where both my brothers lived.
White Sneakers / Black Leather Loafers / Cap Toe Ballerina Flats / Leather Sandals / Braided Leather Sandals / Leather H Slide Sandals / Raffia Espadrille Wedges / Black Block Heels / Black Cap Toe Slingback Heels / Raffia Block Heels Sandals / Black Suede Block Heels / Blush Braided Espadrille Wedges
It may still be freezing in Chicago, but we’re just going to move past that because spring is approaching, and I am ready for it, haha. Today, I wanted to share a few pairs of shoes for spring from Steve Madden that I’m either eyeing or own and can’t wait to wear when I no longer have to wear boots. I’ve included everything from sandals and espadrille wedges to wear with dresses to loafers and sneakers to wear with jeans. You just can’t beat Steve Madden’s fantastic prices, like $79.95 for the prettiest pair of ballet flats that look like $200+! Here are my favorites.
Americana Sweater (There are both cropped and longer versions, and lots of colors!) / Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Veja Sneakers (You can also find them here and here.) / Liberty of London Headband / Sunglasses / Newer Toothpick Jeans / Emma’s Jeans, Sandals (they’re back! Toddler version here.) and Sweatshirt / Girls’ Blue Dresses and White Jean Jackets
There is something so magical about the first day of a trip.

As the weather starts to warm up just ever so slightly, I’m beginning to reach for some of my lightweight jackets and coats more often. They’re the key to a transitional spring wardrobe, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite spring jackets.
Navy Stripe Sweater / Slate Green Cardigan Sweater / Striped Cashmere Boatneck Sweater / Navy Rollneck Sweater / Cream Cashmere T-Shirt / Patch-Pocket Striped Sweater Jacket / Cream Chino Pants / Navy Trench Coat / Braided-Strap Leather Block-Heel Sandals / Semi-Circle Rattan Clutch / Sunglasses / Raffia Beaded Drop Earrings / Bow One-Shoulder Swimsuit / Long Beach Shirt / Slingback Twill Bow Heels
The J.Crew Spring New Arrivals are so good! Here are a few of my favorite pieces, from lightweight sweaters to trench coats to sandals and more.
Tuckernuck Teagan Top (I have it in the stripe, but I love the black and the white as well! If you’re looking for a great striped top, try this one, which is nearly identical. It runs big so size down!) / Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Old Skinny Jeans (But this is the newer pair! And these are awesome and very affordable.) / Veja Sneakers (You can also find them here and here.) / Liberty of London Headband / Sunglasses / Faux Diamond Tennis Bracelet
Hello there! Mitch and I drove from Rosemary Beach, Florida to New Orleans to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and help with some design stuff in their gorgeous new home. It’s roughly a 4.5-hour drive, but sans kids, it’s really not that bad. 😉 Special thanks to Mom and Dad for watching aEmma and Lucy! They loved every minute of their special time with Gamma and Pa.
