No matter what the season, dresses are my most worn clothing in my closet. Whether it’s dressed casually for the weekends or dressed up for the work week, my closet is filled with just about every type of dress. Lately, there have been so many fabulous dresses to love, I decided an entire post should be devoted to this article of clothing! I’ve been even more dressed obsessed than usual lately. Just wait for Monday’s post! Here are 3 must-have dresses for summer.

My Trader Joe’s Top Five
I don’t know about you, but I always like reading about new food finds. I shared a few of my favorite healthy snacks (post here) with you a few months ago and now I’m back with a Trader Joe’s edition. As much as I love sharing new recipes with you each week, all the recipes start with some of my favorite ingredients and this post gives me a chance to share a few of the products I’m loving. We have a Trader Joe’s pretty close to our house and I always love checking out their newest selection. Although I don’t find Trader Joe’s to be a great place to find your “everyday” groceries, it is good for specialty products and snacks. Here is my Trader Joe’s top five products.
Eyelet Ruffle Top
Is there anything more spring-like than white eyelet? From dresses to tops, it’s definitely a style for the warmer months. I bought this white eyelet ruffle top almost two months ago and finally had the chance to wear it this past weekend.
Four Handbags for Spring and Summer
As with so many accessories, spring and summer handbags are some of my favorite. Fun fabrics and designs are just some of the reasons my handbag obsession is real. Today, I’m looking at my four favorite handbags for spring and summer.

Happy Wednesday, friends! I think we can all agree that these “spring” temperatures are not cutting it — we have gone from the 80s over the weekend to a freeze warning last night! Since spring has barely arrived in some parts of the country, it’s ironic that there are a ton of spring pieces already on sale! We might as well take advantage of these sales and stock our closets full of pretty spring and summer pieces. We will be able to wear them eventually! Here are a few of my favorite spring styles currently on sale…
Ella’s Birthday Pupcakes
A few weeks ago, our puppy, Ella, celebrated her 6th birthday. It’s hard to believe that she has been ours for 6 years. It seems like just yesterday we met her for the first time and she could fit in the palm of my hand! If you have been following along for awhile, you probably already know that our world revolves around Ella. You can read a little more about Ella in this post. From Halloween costume contests (post here) to trips to the wineries (post here) and to the beach, Ella is one spoiled pup!
A birthday isn’t complete without birthday cake, dogs included! I found this recipe for a dog birthday cake and knew I had to make it for Ella. Given Ella’s size, I decided to make them into “pupcakes” so she could enjoy them across several sittings and give them to some of her dog friends. Ella’s Birthday Pupcakes were a hit! And now she has added a new word to her vocabulary: birthday cake.
Travel Day Brights
I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time deciding on my travel day outfit. Especially when traveling from a cold climate to a warm, or vice versa. When we headed to Texas two weeks ago, I opted for this bright oversized cardigan, comfortable high waisted jeans, wedges and my latest carry-on accessory, the cutest monogrammed tote.
Easy Black and White Outfit for Spring
This spring, I have been sticking to a lot of basics. Blame it on the crazy weather, but I haven’t bought too many spring pieces because I really haven’t had a chance to wear them! Keeping with classic pieces like my go-to jeans, long cardigan and white shirt are a great way to create an easy black and white outfit for spring.
Spring to Summer Under $150
