Five on Friday - Spring Essentials



Spring Essentials

Happy Friday Loves! 

 Since Spring has officially sprung,  I am linking up with the ladies that host the Five on Friday party to share five essentials to Spring you into the mood! 

1. Tieks Camel flats
Who doesn't need a neutral flat you get to through the awkward transition between winter and summer clothes? Something to wear between your Frye boots and your Jack Rogers....you know what I mean? Who am I kidding....I have been itching for any excuse to snag a pair of these babies and Spring gave me just the opportunity! I was in need of new flats for work and this camel color is just the ticket to complement my over extensive navy or orange wardrobe. 
Now, can I just gush on my amazing experience with this company for a minute?  i.am.in.love.... The free shipping, the wide color options, the fit and feel and let's not forget about the hand written note the Tiek's team included in my precious flower toped shoe box - I could not be happier with my new shoes....they even feel awesome on!  

My friend Ashley introduced me to this sassy Essie color and I think it is the perfect Spring color! It is the best shade of magenta and will be a great transition from the grays I have been rockin this winter. And what about that name? It immediately makes me think about one of my favorite Spring wedding cocktails - a Dirty Shirley! YUM

3. Gin 
Gin has become my definite drink of choice for the warmer months! I am loving to add a little squeeze of grapefruit or a couple slices of cucumber to my regular gin and tonic.  Try this and I promise you will be left with a refreshing and colorful cocktail just perfect for Spring!

Reid and I are headed to Charleston in early May and since I am cousins with Casper the Friendly Ghost, I am in need of a fabulous one piece to help hide my translucent, white tummy... enter this adorable one piece from Anthro! The one piece part makes this the perfect spring to summer suit and the lower cut halter adds a little something sexy.... I ordered it in black but isn't this orange color divine? Clearly I am obsessed as I have tried it on like 8 times already!

So, I am in love with Kate Spade's Grace Blue color! It works so nicely with my go to colors of orange and navy and is ideal for Spring! I was so excited to retire my winter purse and break this baby out! It puts the perfect springy pep in my step and makes me feel all trendy and stuff.

I don't know about y'all but we have had a very snowy winter in Richmond and I am ready for some warmer weather! I hope you find these essentials fun and inspiring .... what are your Spring favorites? 

Till next week!
