I’ve been dying to visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields the past few years but was never able to get down there during the season… until yesterday. Jeff, Crosby and I headed out the door bright and early to get to the fields when they opened and it was seriously SO gorgeous! Let me apologize in advance for the number of photos in this post… we were a little snap happy with how pretty it was in person.

We spent the weekend in Arizona for my brother and sister-in-law’s vowel renewal ceremony. Such a beautiful weekend… and the weather was pretty perfect too. Sunny and warm without being hot, April is the time to visit Arizona!

I was a little torn with brining out a fun maxi dress this early, but I really couldn’t resist. I got this one in the mail last week from my friends at Cleobella and started dreaming of spring. I’ll probably bring it with me on one of my upcoming trips to the desert – we’re going to La Quinta next week and Arizona in April!

A few weeks ago I went on a little spring shopping trip after a closet purge and came home with this top. I try to clean out my closet every other month or so… it’s so necessary with the amount of clothing I accumulate. Anyway, I noticed I was lacking some fun springy things and loved everything about this top. The colors are perfect for spring/summer/even winter in Southern California and I love the tie detail. I plan on wearing it again this week with my new “mom jeans.” continue reading

About this time of year I start getting excited for all things spring. In a few weeks stores usually start bringing out their spring – if they haven’t already. And lucky for me, over the weekend we had the best weather. It was 75 and sunny both days and really felt like spring. It’s cloudy and cold again now but it was nice while it lasted. I was able to wear that outfit with sandals – so nice.

Just a little casual and practical Sunday morning outfit. Kidding, obviously, but how fabulous is this romper? I think it would be so cute for a holiday party with OTK boots or even tights. Love making rompers a little more winter-y with tweaks like these.
