Happy Monday, friends! Hair accessories hold a special place in my heart. And I’m thrilled that there are so many cute and trendy pieces to pick from! Here are a few of my favorite trending hair accessories:

A complete diversion from Monday’s post, today it’s all about spring neutrals. As much as I love bright colors, there is definitely a time and place for neutrals. Especially in the spring. Not only are these pieces of a neutral color palette, but they are also basics that can be worn countless ways. Here are 9 must-have spring neutrals to add to your closet:
Valentine’s Day Pink Sweater
Nothing like kicking off the return of outfit posts with the coziest, brightest and most fun sweater of all! This oversized pink sweater is a closet favorite and with Valentine’s Day just a few days away, this hot pink number will most definitely be making an appearance this week!
2019 Pantone Color of the Year: Coral
dress | beaded tassel hoop earrings | lipstick | sunglasses | cuff bracelet | cuffed sleeve sweater | ankle strap sandal | sneakers | swimsuit | satchel | peplum tee | chiffon drop earrings | lipgloss | geometric drop earrings | belt
Each year, I am always anxious to see what color rises to Pantone’s Color of the Year. And this week’s Wednesday Wishes is all about 2019’s color: coral. I share these color inspiration post each year and in the past, it’s been tough to find clothing in that color. Ironic since this color should be everywhere. Well, that was not the case with coral this year! Coral is everywhere and I have to say, I’m pretty excited about it. Here is some coral outfit inspiration:
Four Easy to Recreate Early Spring Outfits
In the spirit of Punxsutawney Phil’s early spring prediction, today I am sharing four easy to recreate early spring outfits. These are four of my favorite outfits from last spring. All four looks are easy to recreate with pieces in your closet (or shop similar pieces in this post!). And I love the more neutral color palette in these outfits. It’s perfect for all of spring! Without further ado, here are four outfits to recreate this spring:
Valentine’s Day Inspiration

Hi friends! I had made this Valentine’s Day inspiration collage a few weeks ago and haven’t had the time to write the content! It’s been a rough few weeks in the McCarthy household. January and February are always a super busy time at work for me with state legislatures in session (you can read about my 9-5 job in this post) but this year has been busier than usual. Then last weekend, Richard wasn’t feeling well, so he spent the weekend in bed. Sunday evening I checked his temperature — it was at 103.5! We ran to urgent care and it was confirmed. He had the flu. For the past week, I’ve been trying to take care of him (while still keeping my distance!), crazy with work and disinfecting the house constantly. Thankfully, he is feeling better, but it was a rough week.
Current Winter Beauty Finds
Happy Monday, friends! It was a snowy weekend here in the D.C. area. The snow started Saturday afternoon and as I type on Sunday evening, it is still going strong. Winter has been pretty quite so far, but looking at the extended forecast, it looks like it’s going to be a snowy start to 2019. Speaking of winter, today I am sharing a few winter beauty products I’ve been loving. From a face mask and lip mask to my new favorite styling accessory and face cleanser, here are my current winter beauty finds.
Best Buys of 2018

One of my favorite posts to share each January is a recap of some of my favorite products from the previous year. You can see last year’s Best Buys of 2017 here. It’s a great way to recap some of my favorite finds from the previous year and shows the most used and worthwhile finds of the year. Here are my best buys of 2018:
Our Home at Christmas
Happy New Year, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and 2019 is off to a great start. This might be a little anticlimactic, but I realized I never shared these photos of our house decorated at Christmas. I took these a few weeks ago, and while I was putting away the Christmas decorations last week, I realized I never shared these! Here is a peek of our home at Christmas:

Long time no talk, friends! As if the last few months haven’t been crazy enough, we are somehow almost half way through December! It’s amazing to think Christmas is just a little over two weeks away. It’s been a busy few weeks at work and at home, but now that the Christmas decorations are up at the new house, I am finally starting to feel somewhat caught up. I should be posting more regularly in these last two weeks before Christmas, so stay tuned. Not only do I have more gift guides for you, but also some holiday and winter outfit inspiration and the first look of our new house decorated for Christmas! Speaking of gift guides, here is a round-up of 25 stocking stuffers under $25…
