Spring Break Inspiration

Now that we are approaching the end of February, I think dreaming of warm temperatures and tropical vacations is completely appropriate. And since I don’t have any warm weather vacations planned in the next month or so, I will have to live vicariously through those that do and make wish lists in the meantime!


There is something about the recurring spring nautical trend that I just love. Not only is it a great way to kick off spring, but it also works well for vacation style. Two pieces dictated today’s color palette: THIS dotted navy dress and THESE adorable slide sandals {how cute are they?!}. Blue has never been my favorite color, but I do seem to be attracted to it as we head into each and every spring. Here are a few of my favorite spring break essentials:
  • I don’t think there is anything more vacation appropriate than tassels. Granted, I wear them pretty much all year, but there is something so fun and colorful about this trend that makes you instantly think of a warm weather getaway. I love the way THESE tassel earrings add just about every shade of color to an outfit, along with THIS bracelet set. Whether you are sitting by the pool or headed out for dinner, both of these accessories instantly dress up a look. 
  • Gingham, ruffles and bell sleeves! Since these are three of my favorite trends for spring, I wasn’t going to miss a chance to share some of these cute pieces. I bought a gingham dress last year {you may remember it from THIS post} and I’m so glad to see the trend is still going strong. The fact that there is a gingham swimsuit makes my heart skip a beat! And an off the shoulder style?! It’s too good to be true! If you caught Monday’s post, you know that I have officially jumped on the bell sleeve trend and I couldn’t be more excited about it. THIS dress not only has short bell sleeves but also polka dots. I’m sold! Last, but not least, I love the subtle ruffle around the hem on THESE shorts. It would look so cute paired with a white shirt and sandals for a casual vacation look. 
  • Speaking of sandals: how gorgeous are THESE gold gladiator sandals? Also available in tan, these fun sandals would be the perfect accessory for shorts, skirts and dresses from vacation to spring and all the way into summer. Although they are a little on the expensive side, I think that both the gold and tan colors would work with so many pieces in your closet, you might be able to justify the price 😉
Do you have any spring break or vacation plans in the next month or so? Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

  11. Wow, I'm loving all your finds here, beauty; you're getting me so excited for the warm weather ahead! I especially love those gladiator sandals as well as the TB anchor ones, how cute! I agree, tassels do make think vacation and warm weather, same as pom poms, which I can't wait to wear again come summer! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!
