Saturday OOTD and my Spring must haves!

Hello and I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I spent the day with family yesterday to celebrate my niece's 1st birthday and it was a really nice day. She just gets more and more adorable everytime I see her. I still can't believe she is 1 yr. old already! Here's my OOTD from yesterday:




Top- Express ruffle tank in a merlot color
Cardigan- H&M
Skirt- ON denim mini
Tights- Express
Boots- JS Angie Boots



So, as I mentioned on Friday, I wanted to compile of list of all the things I am lusting after for spring and share them with you. I realized, I don't need much as I have a ton of stuff from Spring pasts and even recent things I've purchased that I can transition into this spring. First up, is a canvas utility jacket in an olive color. It's safari like and very versatile in my opinion. I tried this one on in ON on Friday and the fit was really nice. I loved that the waist was fitted and it wasn't too bulky or stiff. This jacket can be paired with a pencil skirt, denim or even over a pretty dress. For the price, I felt like it was a good deal.





Old Navy- Women's Twill Cargo Zip Jacket in Dried Grasses- $39.50



Another item that I spotted in ON that's on my list, is this striped jersey dress. I thought it is a cute nautical inspired piece that I could even wear now with tights, and cognace boots and sweater and then in spring with a wedge sandal. It's super comfy and the material is not as light weight as I thought and not see through at all and the boatneck opening is very flattering.

Ok, now what's spring without florals?! Every Spring we see a garden full of floral tops, dresses and skirts but this year, there is something different. I have never been a huge fan of floral prints but this season they are just so pretty, I can't resist. I previewed online H&M's Graden Collection which I beleive is debuting in March, and fell in love with a lot of it. Not to mention, not only is it pretty, but environmentally safe. The line is organic and made from recycled materials. Here's a few of the looks I am lemming!












I am in love with so much of this line and can't wait for it's debut. I've seen some floral dresses in some H&M stores already so it's worth making a trip and grabbing some now. The next item I'm in need of for spring, is a denim chambray shirt. I think this is such a cute look and one that can be used in place of a cardi. On the weekends it can be paired with denim or leggings or over one of those pretty floral dresses and even a pencil skirt. I first eyed these looks on Shopbop.com and they inspired me. For a less expensive alternative to these tops, you can try American Eagle Outfitters as seen below.

So these are just a few of the things I am in need of for spring and I'm sure as we get closer to the warmer weather, this list will grow. I am currently looking for an updated bag for spring. I recently purchased the much adored MBMJ Groovee satchel which should be delivered thsi week and although I use black bags all year round, I am looking for a to die for cognac colored bag for spring. Right now, I'm deciding between the Rebecca Minkoff MAC or MBMJ Hillier Hobo. What do you think? Which would you go for? I will need to save for either unless another awesome deal falls into my lap but for now, I'll just have to dream.







Thanks all for looking and enjoy the rest of your Sunday! As always, Happy Shopping!
