Happy First Day Of Spring

Floral Dress c/o || Yellow Wedge Espadrilles || Wicker Bag || Pink Bow Ribbon Straw Hat || Sunglasses ||  Flower Earrings ||

Happy first day of spring, everyone!! My little chick and I have been anxiously waiting for this day and are so happy that it has finally arrived. A few days ago we got a taste of spring with highs in the 70s, blue skies, and an abundance of sunshine. We were outside almost the entire day. It was absolutely wonderful! We went to the park to walk and go to the playground followed by a trip to Hillside for some ice cream and photos. After that, we looked for signs of spring on another trip followed by a sunset drive. It was quite the magical day. Ava and I wanted to look our spring best with florals and colors to match the new season. She even put her own outfit together!

New Dainty Pieces

Leopard Earrings c/o || Hexagon Ring c/o || Rose Coin Necklace c/o || Eyelash Sweater || Pants (Similar) ||  Cap Toe Pumps || 

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I recently came across a jewelry company, J.Bubs, and fell in love with all of their pieces. Their jewelry has a modern glam feel to it with affordable prices and on trend pieces. Their dainty items, 3 of which I’m wearing above, are my favorite. The hexagon ring is 14k gold plated and is perfect for layering or wearing alone. The leopard kite earrings have a faux fur feel (very soft to touch) and look incredibly chic. The rose coin necklace is 18k gold plated and oh so lovely to wear. Coin necklaces are all the rage right now and with good reason. I chose the “rose” coin since it reminds me of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorite Disney movies. Use the code amanda25 for 25% off of your J.Bubs order. The code is good for 48 hours!

Transition Into Spring

Sail To Sable Coat c/o || Gingham Dress c/o || Wedge Espadrilles || Straw Hat || Straw Bag c/o || 

Happy Friday, friends! White tweed, big gold buttons, and a knee length cut make this coat from Sail To Sable elegant in every single way. It’s been my go-to this season for the transition into warmer spring weather. I’m completely over winter and also strongly hoping we do not get any more snow storms. Fingers crossed! I’ve been starting to store away my winter outterwear and looking for a coat for the cooler spring days. This tweed one has a fresh feel with a light lining to keep me warm until we hit those 70 degree days. It also features a stand up collar and a fit and flare silhouette. I paired the coat with a fun gingham dress and yellow wedge espadrilles.

Enchanted Floral Dreams

Floral Dress c/o || Straw Hat || Vintage Kate Spade Bag (Similar) || Wedge Espadrilles || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || 

There’s nothing dreamier to me than a gorgeous sunset with soft beautiful light filtering through. Add some floral blooms and you have one enchanting evening. This was a look I put together for one of the warmer days we had and I might add, one of my favorite looks to date. The sunshine absolutely enlivened my senses and brought a sense of happiness along with the promise of spring soon to come. Along with the weather, this dress put the biggest smile on my face. It’s pretty pleats and darling bow  neck tie add to its feminine beauty. Not to mention the stunning print! Right after shooting these photos, I went to a local church dinner with my dad and received so many lovely compliments on the dress. It was a wonderful evening filled with good food, good company, and an ensemble that has so much springtime charm.

Blue Blossom

Floral Top c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Tulle Skirt (Similar) || Blue Pearl Sandals || Straw Hat || Blue Satchel Bag || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||  

Good morning and happy Tuesday! With spring right on the horizon, I swear I could even smell it in the air yesterday, I have all of my floral pieces pulled out and ready to go. There’s nothing more refreshing after a long winter than beautiful blossoms coming to life spreading their beauty and delectable fragrance in the warm air. Not only does this top remind me of all that spring has to offer, it’s also in the most lovely shade of pastel blue, which seems to be everywhere I look this season. From tops to bags, shoes, skirts, scarves, and even pjs, pastel blue is a color perfectly capturing the tranquility of spring. The straw hat adds the perfect amount of vintage flare and I must say, I absolutely adore it!

With A Cherry On Top

Good morning and happy Friday! Happy March 1st too! Yesterday was a very exciting one in our family. My dad retired after 37 years of being a podiatrist. The office held a party for him with lots of yummy food and a cake. They also made up a memory book filled with pictures throughout the years and funny sayings. It was so nice to see everyone all together having a good time. I know my dad, brother, and I appreciated all of the thought that went into creating the party. Little miss Ava absolutely stole the show too. She loves a party! Congrats dad on a well deserved retirement!

Speaking of Ava, she told me when I was wearing this cherry print top that it reminded her of Mary Poppins. That’s a plus in my book! I love the color combination of pink and red with some green and the subtle cherries printed on the top. It’s quite lovely and has a fresh feeling to it. I paired it with a denim skirt going for a casual vibe.

Needing Nautical

Yellow Jacket || Striped Top || White Skinny Jeans || Red Scalloped Bag || Sunglasses || Similar Scarf || Navy Flats || 

Happy Wednesday, friends! As winter carries on, my mind has been drifting to all things warm weather related, including my love for nautical pieces. Truth be told, I wear nautical ensembles year round, regardless of the season. A favorite in summer, I like to keep the seafarer vibe going strong whenever and wherever I can. I decorated my home with a strong nautical New England influence.

The inspiration for this look started with the yellow parka jacket, perfect for layering in the spring and summer. It has a decent weight to it, which I was actually surprised with. The striped top and white jeans will always be a forever classic pairing, along with the navy flats adorned with gold buttons. They’re on sale now too! Ava was particularly taken with the scalloped bag in a bright shade of red. She wanted to carry it the whole time and often does when we’re at home. Completing the look, I tied a sailboat scarf around my neck that I got up at the Cape a few years back.

Winter Meets Spring

Floral Embroidered Dress c/o || Similar Clutch (Here) And (Here)  || Similar Sequin Shoes || 

Hello and happy Monday! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! Did anyone happen to watch the Oscars last night? Ava and i watched the ceremony and loved all of the musical performances. The opener with Queen and Adam Lambert was amazing! Now that’s how you open a show! Lady Gaga’s and Bradley Coopers performance was incredibly emotional and filled to the brim with electric chemistry. A well deserved double standing ovation! My favorite speech was by Olivia Colman for best actress. My goodness, she was beyond adorable! I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time. Also, Chris Evans being a real life Captain America in helping Regina King up the stairs, swoon, proof that chivalry is not dead. What a gentleman!

This time of the year is tough to dress for. Spring everything is hitting the shelves, yet it’s still chilly out with threats of winter weather everywhere. Enter dark floral dresses. Bonus points for ones with a longer skirt! The florals and pink skirt in this one feel like spring, while the dark mesh anchors the look to the winter season. I love the romance of this dress is and how elegant I felt while wearing it. As it gets closer to spring, simply swap out the heels for some strappy sandals and you have a beautiful spring ensemble!

Good morning, friends! The spring equinox arrives in 27 days and I, along with just about everyone else, cannot wait for the official end of winter. While I do enjoy what each season has to offer, I cannot help but be the most excited for spring. The warm weather, sunshine, pastel colors, and beautiful blooms make me incredibly happy. This mint dress with petite florals throughout not only looks like spring, but also feels like it too. The chiffon fabric feels light as air along with the flirty skirt that swishes with each step. I love a good twirl! The dress runs true to size and feels like a breath of fresh air to throw on.

Floral Fever

Ruffle Floral Dress c/o (Use The Code AmandaZOV20 for 20% off of your order!) || Straw Circle Bag || Jack Rogers Sandals || Sunglasses || KEP Earrings c/o || DW Watch c/o || 

Hello all and happy Monday!  I am currently writing this from outside as it is such a gorgeous day! We had rain for about 75 perfectof the weekend so it truly feels like a breath of fresh air. Speaking of the weekend, did anyone watch the Royal Wedding?? I didn’t see it live, but as soon as I woke up, I watched all of the highlights and read up on all of the details. It looked like a dream wedding and Harry and Meghan were so happy! I couldn’t be happier for them. I also went to go see Deadpool 2 and loved it. Ryan Reynolds is perfect in the part and oh so halarious. If you liked the first Deadpool, then you are sure to pleased with this one as well. 

 I’ve always been a huge fan of floral prints and wear them year long no matter the season. When the seasons do change into fall and winter, I change over from light brights to dark florals in order to keep rocking my favorite print. They’re also my favorite backdrop to photograph against. The song lyric, “these are a few of my favorite things” comes to mind when thinking of this dress! The eye catching white flowers set against a beautiful blush background make for one stunning combo. The ruffle hem adds some feminine flair while the ruffle cut out in the back gives this dress a fun sexy twist that still feels elegant! On a side note, does anyone know the name of the white flowering trees I’m standing by? They smelled AMAZING! Possibly jasmine? No one knew for sure, but they were increadible.

Bamboo Bag Strap

White Lace Top c/o || AG Skinny Jeans || Mint Floral Sandals || Vtthai Straw Bag c/o || Vtthai Bamboo Strap c/o || 

Good morning and happy Thursday! Have you ever wanted to switch up your style, but not spend tons of money in the process? I’m sure this happens to most, especially when the seasons change or a new trend hits the scene. An easy and affordable way to add some pizazz to your wardrobe and give it a breath of fresh air is through accessories! New from Vtthai, this bamboo bag strap let’s you create your own style by matching the straps with any bags. They are created using dyed woven bamboo, which is a traditional craft technique that has been passed down through generations of Thai artisans, and incorporated with genuine leather. The straps have an exquisite design and excellent quality. 

I hope everyone has been safe with the torrential rain and all around nasty storms the east coast has been getting hammered with lately. We lucked out with only getting some heavy rain and gusts of wind yesterday, but other areas nearby were getting hit with hail and tornados too. Hopefully we’ll see some sunshine soon, although it looks like a steady storm running its course throughout the weekend.

Sea of Lavender

 Tignanello Circle Bag c/o || LC Lauren Conrad Dress (Old, Similar) || LC Lauren Conrad Heels (Old, Similar) || 

Good morning, friends! What a wirl wind the past few days have been! I’m floating on cloud nine just thinking about all of the adventures we just had, but more about that later. I hope everyone had a lovely mother’s day too. I kept telling Ava, thank you so much for making me your mommy. You gave me the greatest gift of all.

I’m not exactly sure what type of flowers these are, but they create the most beautiful sea of purple down along the river walk. It’s a gorgeous spot, especially with the sun setting. Ava bug was my little helper carrying around this Tignanello bag for me. She knows a good circle bag when she sees one! She always says, “mommy loves circle bags.” Haha, she is beyond adorable. Tignanello is a brand I’ve come to know in recent years and appreciate their quality and eye for classic styling and functionality. Their design team draws inspiration from the aesthetic of traditional Italian craftsmanship. One of the best places to shop the handbags is on QVC. I believe you can find some on Amazon too, but QVC is their main retailer. My mom would have loved that, she was a big QVC fan!

Good morning, friends! There’s nothing I love more than a beautiful dress. If I had to choose one item to wear for the rest of my life, it would be that. As soon as my eyes spotted this chiffon dress, I was in love! The vibrant pink and mint floral pattern had my heart swooning along with the flirty ruffles and figure flattering tie waist. The subtle breeze would pick up every now and then and allow the dress to flow beautifully. To match in the same lively floral print is this turnlock clutch. I’ve always been a big fan of matching as gives a sense of vintage timelessness and having a competed look. This bag is on sale now and under $20!

Gingham Ruffle Skirt

Gingham Ruffle Skirt c/o (Use The Code AmandaZOV20 for 20% off of your order! || Similar Body Suit || Gingham Bag || Sunglasses || Pearl Slides || Jackie Kennedy Earrings || Bow Hair Tie || 

Good morning and a very happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was a blast, but I don’t want to get too into it just yet since I have a post covering our special weekend coming up. Let’s just say there was lots of celebrations going on! 

Last week I stumbled upon this gorgeous magnolia tree with its pretty pink blossoms that perfumed the air beautifully. If you got close enough to the tree, it was like gazing upon a sea of endless pink blossoms with golden light shining through. Quite magnificent and utterly magical to see. It was the perfect backdrop for this gingham mix ensemble.

The ruffle hem wrap skirt ties everything together with a chic little bow. I’m a big fan of matching and went my gingham cocktail crossbody bag that is currently on sale! In fact, almost everything here matches one another. The bow hair tie matches the bow in my skirt. The pearl earrings and necklace match the pearl embellished slides. Finally, the gingham skirt matches the gingham bag. I first tried on a white top with the skirt, but eventually decided a black one that really made the whole look pop. I actually pulled out a body suit I’ve had for ages, which kept everything very streamlined. I’d forgotten how much I love them. Bye bye excess fabric!

Lavender Floral

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! Today is also affectionately know as “May The Fourth Be With You” for all of my Star Wars fans! We’ll be celebrating by going to a baseball game where they’ll have the Star Wars characters walking around. I can’t wait! This weekend is also Cinco De Mayo and my brother’s fiancé is graduating from college so it’s going to be a busy one. 

My love for lavender continues! It’s easy to fall in love with this drss with its fluttering ruffles, springtime florals made up of warm reds and yellows, and a stylish crisscross back. The material is very light and airy making it great for the warm spring and summer days. I’m quite taken with this lavender bag too! While it’s not a circle bag, which has been my current go-to, the shape is so unique and interesting and of course the lavender color totally has my heart. I love that it’s pretty roomy too and an added bonus of gold hardware. 

Cheers to the weekend!!

Romantic Bloom

Floral Maxi Dress c/o ||  Similar Blush Sandals || Similar Straw Clutch || Hoop Earrings || 

Hello and happy Thursday!  Do you ever find that everything comes together just right to make for the perfect outfit? That’s exactly how I felt about this look between the gorgeous twirl worthy dress to the beautiful blossoms and dreamy sunset. The weather was warm and the sweet scent of flowers were swirling in the breeze as people around me were laughing and enjoying the soon to be twilight. The look itself was fairly easy to create with my blush sandals and straw clutch matching the nude and blush background of the maxi dress from Chicwish. The oversize floral print brings spring to life and creates a lovely romantic scene. Though this is a maxi dress, the length will work for petite girls! I’m 5’2” and found the length to fit perfectly. Anyone under 5ft might need this to be hemmed. The dress fits true to size. I’m wearing an XS for reference. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather! We had a HOT one yesterday and i’ll you, after the long and dreary winter, it felt AMAZING! Ava and I did not waste one second of it. We were completely wiped out by the end of the day and actually headed to bed early. We took walks, ran around, played kick the ball, throw the ball, baseball, and bowling. Then we went over uncle Mike’s house and he was squirting her with the hose. Haha, she absolutely loved it. Her laughter was the sound of pure childhood joy.

Good morning, friends! I can hardly believe this is the last day of April. Hopefully all of our April showers are going to bring an abundance ance of May flowers! Some of the trees are already starting to bloom around here too. For any *NSYNC fans out there, today they are getting their star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I am beyond excited for this and hoping they have a little reunion during the ceremony. I would be happy with just one song even! I was really hoping for a reunion during the Super Bowl with Justin Timberlake performing, but alas, that did not happen. This is the last time I can see them being together for a while so fingers crossed!! You can watch the ceremony on www.hollywoodwalkoffame.com at 2:30pm EST. 

A few posts back I wore a lavender dress with mint accessories and mentioned how I had worn the same color combination recently, but reversed. This is the reversed outfit! I really love the color combo and couldn’t resist pairing them together again. This mint dress with tiered ruffle sleeves is so much fun! It’s elegant, but with a cool twist. The fit is relaxed and falls just above the knee.
