lilly dresses for easter

I'd love to wear a Lilly Pulitzer dress for Easter, if my bank account currently allowed - the new dresses are so adorable! Instead I'll probably wear this striped dress, this pink one, or this red one on Sunday. But here are some Lilly choices I'd consider:

Henley Dress

Payton Dress

Antonia Dress - this one is my FAVORITE and I loveeee the bow :)

Posey Dress

And some bracelets from Bauble Bar and t+j designs that would add a fabulous touch to the dresses:

Luxe Pink Pave Bracelet

Silver Arrow Cuff

Mint Candy Bangle

This week's Friday's Fancies theme with long distance loving is Lace Love. I created a total spring outfit because I'm so excited for the season!

Also, S/O to the lovely Zephyr of College Fashion for adding yesterday's post to this week's Hautelinks! :D

statement necklaces

Statement necklaces have been on the fashion radar for a few seasons now and I think it's safe to say the trend is still going strong. Whether it is a collar necklace or the popular bubble necklace, necklaces of all colors, materials, shapes, and sizes are everywhere. My current favorites are below - click on the image for the link!

                    

              

I've been on the fence about getting a bubble necklace, but love the purple Bauble Bar one above. However, a chunky pearl necklace like the J. Crew one would go well with my outfits..... decisions, decisions! Which one is your fave??

bauble bar

A friend recently told me about Bauble Bar, an online jewelry boutique. I'm so glad she told me about it! I have some gorgeous pieces on my wishlist. I like how they have both trendy and classic pieces, as well as expensive and inexpensive items. There's a good mix of everything, and there is a ton of COLOR! Because I like their jewelry so much, I made a shopping guide. Enjoy!

From left to right, clockwise:

Pop Rocks Bracelet - $22

Sorbet Strands - $28

Tropical Necklace - $36

Color-Block Boho Drops - $34

Organic Stacking Rings - $22 each

Pink Punk Set Bracelets - $30

Coral Cascade Earrings - $32

Mint Teardrop Bib Necklace - $34

Tortoise Link Collar - $72

Kelly Chain Link Bracelet - $34

Champagne Cocktail Ring - $78

Moonstone Grid Ring - $105

What is your favorite? I can't decide between the tropical necklace and the green chain link bracelet.

monograms

When I was little, it seemed like everything in our house was monogrammed. Everything from kitchen glasses to bedding to towels was embroidered with letters. My pink, monogrammed Vera Bradley duffle bag even had an accompanying mini size that I used to use for doll stuff. (Which was very helpful when I left it on a plane once - they identified the initials on my bag and safely returned my American Girl doll hair accessories to me! Haha).

A monogram necklace has been on my wishlist for a while. I think most monogrammed jewelry is timeless and very versatile. A few options on the wishlist...

This one is beautiful! It's my favorite one I've seen so far. $210 in Sterling Silver - Max & Chloe

I like this one too! It's in gold and a lot cheaper than the one from Max & Chloe ($84) so I'm not totally sure about the quality. From Sweet Tea Paperie

This one is acrylic rather than metal, which I think is a fun alternative. I haven't seen an acrylic one in person, however, so I don't know how it would look on. I think I'd like it, though. There are plenty of colors to choose from too! $64 - Bauble Bar

More monogram ideas!

Thinking about getting a Maybook in these colors. So hard to choose which design and colors to use!

Love this. $199 - Sweet Tea Paperie

You can design your own Ralph Lauren shirt! You choose the shirt and embroidered color, and if you want your monogram or the pony. I personally think I would choose the pony, but both are cute options! $110 - Ralph Lauren
