I’m really into blush and nude/light tan purses right now….so here is my round up of the best ones just in time for spring!

Marc Jacobs – Too Hot To Handle Bentley Leather Tote

Color: Cement

Price: $498

I shouldn’t love this bag, but I do! The color is that perfect mix of blush/nude, and it’s just all around a great tote. It’s big enough to hold anything you might need, and has the attachment for a side-banger strap, which I love. Life is better with side bangers.

Kate Spade – Holden Street Olivera

Color: Pebble

Price: $378

This is the perfect purse to get for business purposes. I have always wanted a light colored briefcase-esque bag that looks professional but can also be an everyday purse. I think this does the trick. I love this bag in the nude pebble color, however you could always get it in black or red if that is more your style.

Forever 21 – Unstructured Faux Leather Tote

Color: Taupe

Price: $24.90

This is a much more wallet-friendly option. If you like the idea of the light tan/blush purses, however don’t want to invest $300+ …this is the purse for you! It is always a good idea to check out places like Forever 21 or Aldo for cheaper purses. They always have ones that look relatively similar to the higher end brands, but for very affordable options.

Tory Burch – Marion Slouchy Tote

Color: Light Oak

Price: $595

This bag is a gorgeous blush color. It is definitely a spring bag. I love all things Tory Burch, so this had to be added to the list! You can never go wrong with a little TB. This bag is at the slightly higher end of the price range, however it is well worth the investment.

Mani Monday!

/ Powder Babes / 3 Comments

So obviously it is not Monday…but since I have been off for 2 months, I have so many exciting nail polish colors to show you! So today is an honorary “Mani Monday”. One of my fave finds from this summer was this gorgeous pink color by Essie. It is the perfect ‘ballet slippers’ kind of pink. I put it on, an immediately fell in love. The color is called “Muchi, Muchi”.

Let me know what you think! Isn’t this just the most perfect pink!?

Entryway DIY Makeover

/ Powder Babes / Leave a comment

As you all know, I live with my boyfriend in a not-so-great apartment. I have been trying slowly but surely to fix up everything so that we are living in a clean, nice, happy space!

We have a window right by the door everyone comes in, and the small space became our shoe spot. It might have been okay if it was a mud room, but it’s not. And of course, it seemed like an okay idea in the begining, but turned into a jumbled mess. Because really…who wants to straighten up the shoes every day.

So I decided to switch it up. I found a storage bench at Target that was too cute. And then found some summery pillows (at Target as well), which seemed to the complete the look. I also bought little decorative bowls from Target to put the dancing flowers in. Okay – as I just typed this out, I realized that the entire makeover was furnished by Target haha. Oh well – I LOVE TARGET!! What can I say!!

Here is the finished look – what do you think?! My goal is to also paint the potted plant (I hate that plant, but my boyfriend loves it). I think I will paint it in bright colors to really pop.

This whole little nook was only $125. The storage bench is on sale for $79.99 this week at Target, the pillows are on sale for $20, and the little bowls were like $5. And this is why I love Target.

Fab Find!

Last fall I was vacationing in the Hampton’s (legit, I know), and found the most fabulous shirt at Lilly Pulitzer. It was dark pink and had gold buttons and I just loved it. I bought it on the spot, and wore it with jeans and riding boots in the fall. It was flowy, breezy, and perfect. Well…Lilly’s newest release of spring clothes has unleashed a surprise too good to be true — my favorite shirt, but in summer colors!!!

I was SO excited. It’s definitely a must have. Not only does it incorporate my favorite things (bright colors, flowing fabric), but it is the perfect go to for spring AND summer! You can pair it with dark jeans if it’s a colder spring day, and then transition it to summer with white jeans (as the pic shows), or wear it with white shorts and a cute bedazzled sandal. The options are endless!! Throw on some gold bangles rocked with a perfect tan, and you are good to go!

Here is the link to purchase this shirt – Elsa Top – A Delicacy It’s $158 and comes in multiple colors. So if pink/blue/green isn’t for you, try this one Elsa Top – Ring the Bellboy . Or this one Elsa Top – I Got Lucky . There are 11 different printed tops (browse Lilly Pulitzer’s website), as well as a few that are solid colors (like my pink fall shirt).

What are some of your favorite go-to tops??
