bow bracelets

There is something about adding a bow that makes an accessory so charming. Here are four bow bracelets I'm loving - the Kate Spade one is just dainty and darling with the pearl and small bow. The Vickers bow bracelets add classic patterns in versatile colors. And the simple black one works with anything! [Click the images to link back to the site.] :)

checkers

My favorite pattern is checkers. I like checkered bedding, notebooks, and especially clothes! It is a classic print that is reincarted every season. I enjoy the pattern year-round, but love seeing the pattern more often in the spring.

You can never go wrong with a traditional, checkered button-down! A button-down in blue gingham has been on my shopping list for a while now, but other colors like green and light pink other good options.

Branching out from button-downs is nice too! I love this Marc Jacobs skirt - perfect for work or dressing up - and this retro swimsuit is adorable.
