Lightweight Jackets for Spring
Happy Friday! I had such a productive week ya’ll! Yesterday, I took the day off from work and lived that full time blogger life. 😉 I attended a spring trends fashion brunch over at Neiman Marcus, and ya’ll I wanted all the things. So many cute new trends coming out for spring, I can’t wait. I shared a few of the outfits on Instastories, so you may still catch them up there this morning.
Yesterday, I started the day in beautiful sheer spring top and then had to come home and change into a sweater for my afternoon errands. It was the exact day I needed a cute lightweight jacket. This early spring time of year is when lightweight jackets become such a necessity. Something you can toss over your outfit for a cool morning or evening, and then wrap around your waist or throw over your bag for the warmer parts of the day.
During the spring, I wear my denim jacket so much. It really is the perfect lightweight jacket. I decided I should probably look at getting one or two more especially since I can probably wear them during the winter here too. My search started with utility jackets, another perfect spring jacket, and led me to this gorgeous light gray suede long jacket. It’s so the perfect spring color. The suede is pretty light so not going to be too warm. The open drape front and rolled sleeves lend an effortless Spring vibe to this jacket. In addition to amping up your casual jeans looks, you can also wear this over a dress for the office.
If you are looking to add a lightweight jacket or two to your closet this season, I shared a few more favorites below in a variety of styles from weekend to office. I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend! I have several plans with friends including a Galentine’s Day celebration and a friends’ birthday brunch. I see plenty champagne in my future this weekend!

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her & Him
| DETAILS |
FOR HER: David Yurman Bracelet | Hanky Panky Panty Set | Initial Pendant Necklace | Tory Burch Sandals | Aromatherapy Diffuser | Floral Robe
FOR HIM: Duffel Bag | Aviator Sunglasses | Patagonia Pullover | Coleman Can Insulator | MVMT Watch | Fitbit Versa
We are just over a week away from Valentine’s Day, so I wanted to share a few Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him and her. For her, I always like jewelry like a splurge on David Yurman or a more affordable initial pendant necklace. You could also get something a little sexy like lingerie or lace panties or go more comfy with a sleep set or a robe. I think it’s all about knowing your girl and which is more her style. For me, I love things that are useful. Many of the gifts I shared today check this mark for me.
For him, I always like things to make him more stylish, ha! I mean this is your chance to buy your guy those shades or a nice pullover. You can also play to his manly side with an all black watch or can insulator aka fancy koozie alongside a bottle or case of his favorite beverage. Just like when he buys for you, it’s all about knowing what he likes.
I think Valentine’s gifts are chance to be romantic and think outside the box. Flowers and a nice bottle of champagne, a box filled with date night ideas, preparing a delicious dinner for a chill night in can all work as the perfect gift too. Sometimes the quality time together can be just as fabulous as a fancy gift. What’s on your Valentine’s Day wish list?

Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit
Alright ya’ll we are 10 days away from Valentine’s Day! Whether you are celebrating with friends or your significant other, it’s fun to get together and celebrate the ones you love. Today is for those of you looking for a more casual Valentine’s Day outfit. I feel like my plans usually lead to the more casual side with a nice meal at home or happy hour with girlfriends.
While I’m not opposed to an all black look like a shared a couple weeks ago, this casual outfit is all about keeping with holiday spirit. I love the two shades of pink and the feminine details of this top. I decided to pair this blush pink top with white jeans to really let the pinks pop. I also loving mixing different shades of pink. It’s not something that works with all colors, but it definitely works with different shades of pink. I usually opt to mix a lighter pink with a darker pink.
What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Do you plan to opt for the chic all black look or a more holiday inspired red and pink look?

Pantone Color of the Year 2019: Living Coral
Happy Friday! Every year, the Pantone Color Institute releases a color of the year. Last year, the color was Ultra Violet, a gorgeous deep purple. The pantone color of the year 2019 is living coral. A beautiful and vibrant color, and a color that has me ready for Spring and Summer!
A little back story on the Pantone color of the year. Each year the Pantone Color Institute looks at color trends and current culture to determine the perfect color to represent the year. This color will start making its way into the fashion and beauty world. You can be expecting to see more of this gorgeous shade in the next few seasons.
I love the description of this year’s color choice. The reasoning is filled with words like optimism, joy, authentic experiences, and playful. All things we can use a little more of in such a technology and social media filled world. A color to remind us to put down our phones and go enjoy life, live and in person!
What do you think of this year’s pantone color choice?
One way I love to wear this coral color is by pairing it with all white to create the perfect color pop. I grabbed my favorite white tank and skinny jeans and tossed on my coral cardigan for an easy grab and go casual look. You could dress this up with heels, but I opted for my brown booties to keep the look more casual. This outfit would be perfect for brunch or any casual daytime activities you have coming up.
I hope you all have a fabulous Super Bowl weekend! Thanks for stopping by this week!
