Lemon Drop

Sweater: Jcrew // Skirt: Jcrew // Bag: Kate Spade // Shoes: Jcrew // Necklace: Jcrew // Sunglasses: Karen Walker 

Until recently, I never thought I could wear yellow. I felt that it clashed with my blonde hair and fair skin. I've learned that it is lighter shades of yellow that I need to stay away from, but vibrant lemon shades actually enhances my fair coloring. I doubt I will ever be a true yellow fan, but I can handle a few yellow pieces in my wardrobe, especially for warm spring days. 

Life Lately

Wedding week is here! So excuse me if my postings are a little sporadic over the following few days. I really cannot believe the wedding is so close. I've spent the last nine months planning and awaiting this week so it feels a little surreal. I am going to try to stick to my normal routine to keep my sanity, but we will see how long that lasts.

Friday Favorites: Floral Swimsuits

ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR

I cannot get enough of bold florals this season. From dresses to skirts, I want them all, and I think they look especially pretty on one piece swim suits. They are great for a day at the pool or beach, plus you can throw a skirt on and be presentable in public. What is not to love about that? 

Tropical Florals

Dress: J.Crew Factory // Heels: Banana Republic (similar) // Sunglasses: Karen Walker

I saw this dress online last fall and I knew I had to have it. So, when J.Crew Factory put it on sale last December I made a very early purchase for our honeymoon. I had planned on saving it until then, but I have not self control when it comes to dresses. I wore this out to dinner with friends the other night, and I still plan on wearing in Jamaica. The bright florals just seem so caribbean to me. What do you think? 

Wedding Registry: Kitchen Essentials

Bread Knife // Chef's Knife // Pairing Knife // Dutch Oven // Measuring Cups // Skillets // Cutting Board // Food Processor // Spatula  // Whisk // Wooden Spoon // Loaf Pan // Stand Mixer // Roaster // Pasta Fork

The Wedding Registry. It is you and your fiancee's chance to put all your home related must haves on one giant wish list. Nowadays, that can be anything from a dutch oven to new TV. Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting some of my wedding registry must haves. This week I'm talking kitchen gadgets. I feel like this is the most useful category, and best place to splurge for dream items. Think about what you need as a couple, if you already have nice pots and pans registering electrics and gadgets may be a better choice. A few staples for my kitchen are: a Chef's Knife, Dutch Oven, Measuring Cups, Skillets, a Spatula, and a Whisk. With these items you can make almost any meal. I added on a few bigger items like a nice Bread Knife, Cutting Board, and Stand Mixer to my registry to round things out. Honestly, it all depends on your needs as a couple. Spend some time to sit down and talk about it before you hit the shops.
