Your Spring Shoe Shopping Guide
2

Spring-Shoe-Shopping-Guide-Espadrilles

Even though we’re gearing up for a huge snow storm this week, spring is right around the corner! That means stocking up on the must-have spring shoes of the season. Today I created a little spring shoe shopping guide – from heels to slides to espadrilles, I’ve got you covered.  I always try to stock up on at least one new pair in each of the categories I listed below every spring / summer.

I’ve had my eye on these Marc Fisher Espadrilles for a while now and I think it’s about time I pull the trigger. I’m already on pair 2 of these slip on converse sneakers – they are seriously so comfortable and only $50 dollars! I have a feeling we are going to see slides and mules all over the place this spring. These Sam Edelman slides remind me of the Gucci Slides. I also loved these tassle slides from last summer. Be sure to take a peek at my top picks below!

Warm Weather Getaway Essentials

What-To-Pack-For-Beach-Getaway

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know I was in Miami the other weekend! If you’re in need of a beach getaway asap, I highly recommend! There’s nothing better – even if it’s for 48 hours – than being on the beach during the dead of winter! I’ll be following up with a 48 hours blog post for what to do in Miami but in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to round up my warm weather getaway essentials. From ruffles to gold accents, I’ve included so many new spring goodies below – I can’t wait to start shopping for spring/summer!

How cute is THIS top? And it’s only $98 dollars! You better believe I’ll be adding it to my spring wardrobe. A one-piece ruffle bathing suit can do no wrong. I bought these “to wear” and “to wash” Kate Spade bags for my trip to Anguilla and have been using them for every single trip. The Gorjana team sent me this ring set and I’ve gotten SO many compliments!! The best part is that they are only $55 dollars but look way more expensive. You can shop all of my favorite products below by clicking on the black and white plus signs in the collage or at the way bottom under “shop the post.” Happy Monday, friends!! Xo. Lauren

Weekend Notes

When your custom @societysocial club chair turns out perfectly!!!! Can't wait for this puppy to be delivered in a few short days! A big, big thank you to Roxy at @societysocial + @decoratorsbest + @ralphlaurenhome More pics coming soon. #decoratorsbest #ralphlauren #ticking #stripes #lnathome

Happy Friday, ladies and gents! So sorry for the radio silence around here. These past two weeks have been a bit crazy at work. Oh and also, side note, we launched our brand campaign this week! I highly recommending signing up for a digital subscription to The New York Times – it’s not expensive (less than one coffee a week, I promise!). You can also look out for our TV spot during the Oscars on Sunday night too. Now is more important than ever to support independent journalism!

Any who, I’m off to Miami this weekend. Can’t wait for some serious sun and relaxation on the beach. Be sure to stay up-to-date with my travel adventures right here! Have a great weekend. Xo. Lauren

February Wish List

February-Wish-List-Pink-Gucci-Purse-Red-Flowers

 My February Wish List is here! In case you missed it, you can take a peek at my January wish list right here. I always love doing wish list because I include products that are more wardrobe staples vs. trendy items from Zara or Asos. I have a running “wish list” in my notes app on my phone – it’s a great way for me to prioritize items that I need vs. want and I always try to move items that I will wear for years to come to the top of the list.
