So I’ve been wanting to do some sort of weekly list-type post about the little things, some (ok, mostly) style-based, that inspire me, make me think and make me smile each week…check back every weekend for some fun ideas and to see what’s made my list!

1. Memorial Day Weekend Outfit #1:

I used this sweater in creating a “ways to wear” outfit (see last post), and was inspired to remix IT with these leather shorts for a MDW BBQ!  Leather shorts are more versatile than you think guys…summer nights, in fall and winter with tights, during spring with a sweater like this…

2. The Little White Dress:

Wore this LWD to a friend’s MDW bbq…if you don’t have a little white dress like this yet for summer– what are you waiting for!? There are a ton out there right now; Zara has some of my favorites…(including this one pictured above!)

3. Birthday Wheels:

I turned 32 this weekend…and my husband surprised me (kind of…by surprised I mean I tagged him in every Instagram photo involving a beach cruiser bike in my feed for months prior to May…) with this PERFECT  pink and white bike…basket and all <3…can’t wait to ride this around alllll summer! Some links if you’re interested in racing me:

REI

SEARS

SCHWINN

4. Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale:

One of the best sales around, Nordstrom is having its Half-Yearly Sale, both online and in-store…score  marked downs from some of my favorite designers like Alexander Wang, Rebecca Minkoff, Rag and Bone and Baublebar.

5. Ankle Wrap Sandals from J.Crew:

With the 30% off coupon code from this weekend, I may or may not (def did) order these ankle tie flat sandals from J.Crew…$89 with code, not bad for a shoe that will take me through summer…I love the texture of the raffia and the on trend ankle ties! Linked here!
