3 Spring Break Outfits
Whether you’re planning to travel for spring break or have an upcoming trip in the books, I wanted to share three spring break outfits. There’s a day to night beach look, a beautiful spring dress perfect to wear out to an evening dinner, and a cozier spring outfit for chillier days. But, most of all, I hope this post helps you pick what to pack for your trip!
Recent Finds, 3/18
Ah, Florida hair ;)
Tuckernuck American Flag Sweater (Generous; do not size up!) / J.Crew Skinny Jeans / Veja Sneakers (Also available here and here.)
We had such a lovely week over here transitioning back into a good routine. I adored Florida, but I’m an admitted homebody, lover of hygge, and fan of slowness. 😉 Last night, Mitch and I put the fire on in the basement—because it works now!—and cozied up on the couch to watch a movie. (Though to be honest, I fell asleep after 10 minutes, so he changed it to something else, haha.)
Tonight, we’re having friends over to watch the basketball game, and tomorrow we’re visiting a museum to get the kids out of the house. Sunday, we’re taking the girls swimming and then Emma has a playdate at a friend’s house. OH! And we have a babysitter for Sunday night because we’re going to a show with friends. So it’ll be a jam-packed, not-so-slow weekend… but I’m excited for it all. :)
Anyway, here are this week’s Recent Finds:

After the clocks moved one hour forward this past weekend and the sun started to set after 7 pm, spring has never felt closer. Now all I’m waiting for is the weather in Chicago to warm up a little, and then, I’ll practically be living in spring dresses! There are so many new beautiful dresses this season for every occasion. From casual spring dresses to ones that are a little more formal, here are a few that I have my eye on.
How to Style a Trench Coat 3 Ways
A trench coat is such a versatile piece for the spring. It’s a great lightweight layer that looks wonderful with everything from sweaters to blouses. Easily dress it up or down with your shoes and accessories. I get so much wear out of mine, so I put together a few of my favorite trench coat outfits. Here’s how to style a trench coat three ways.

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday close to our hearts since Mitch’s family and mine are Irish. Last year, I added a few pieces of decor around the house, it wasn’t a lot, but it put everyone in the spirit and made the holiday a little more memorable. The year before, Noodle joined in on the fun and had the cutest doggie photoshoot – those photos of her still make me laugh. So, in the spirit of Irish pride, here are a few cute gifts and decor for Saint Patrick’s Day.

It might have snowed in Chicago yesterday, 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 that I’m either eyeing or own and can’t wait to wear when I no longer have to wear snow boots. I’ve included everything from casual sneakers to wear on weekends with jeans to the prettiest ballet flats. There’s even a cute pair of yellow rain boots that just might even make you excited for a rainy day.
