May Mood Board

May-Mood

Hi chicas! Happy Monday. How was everyone’s weekend? And p.s. can you believe it’s OFFICIALLY May? Summer is only weeks away so I know life is about to speed up quite a bit with work, travel, events and so forth. It’s been quite some time since I last created a mood board so I thought it’d be fun to kick off May with a little inspiration board. You know… on Monday’s my mood is usually this but today I have a bit more pep in my step given that it’s a fresh month and summer is officially so so close.  Do you have any set Memorial Day plans yet?

Anyhow, I really want to get back in to curating a mood board each month. I feel like it’s a great way to help me stay inspired and roundup a few images that can help me (mentally) gather my thoughts for upcoming projects/blog posts. This month’s mood board is full of inspiring outdoor entertaining ideas, pretty flowers, stripes, and french blue (my current color jam). To give you guys a little more background (and I can’t wait to share more details soon) but I’m currently in the midst of planning two upcoming parties – one in May and one at the end of July. As a result, I’ve been searching high and low for creative and chic entertaining ideas.

SO. I need your guys’ help – what are some of your favorite websites or who are some of your favorite bloggers you follow for entertaining / table scape ideas? I already have a sense of direction that I’d like each party to go but it never hurts to stumble on more creative ideas! For example, I have been devouring Eye Swoon‘s previous parties, Style Me Pretty’s Pinterest Boards, and Camille Style’s tables capes. Hope you guys have a great week!! Xo. Lauren

To Mom, With Love

Baby's Breath

Can you believe Mother’s Day is right around the corner?! It’s that time of year again to celebrate the superheroes in our world – aka MOM. There are so many gifts that perfectly say “thank you.”  My mom and I basically have the same taste – we both love stripes, gingham, handbags, anything monogrammed, navy, etc. The only major difference is that I love gold and my mom is a silver fan when it comes to jewelry, but other than that it’s pretty easy to find her a gift she will love! A few years ago, I bought my mom the Kate Spade “Mom Said So” Idiom bangle and still think it’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Other gifts on my radar this year include: this “I need a vacation” tote bag, these white stud earrings (perfect for summer and only $38 dollars), I also love these pink studs. My mom is also a huge David Yurman jewelry fan. I think David Yurman is the perfect gift to go in on with your siblings or Dad as well – Insert this silver link bracelet, this double x crossover ring, or your classic cable bracelet with gold.

If you’ve done any online shopping this spring, you’ve probably noticed the surplus in gingham options! I have been a fan of the gingham print for quite some time but pair it on a cute leather jacket, rain coat, or blazer and this girl is sold. Today I’ve scoured the web to bring you the best of gingham options for spring! From J.Crew to Nordstrom to Shopbop, below are a few fun options to incorporate into your spring wardrobe. Let’s break it down shall we?

This rain jacket is an absolute must buy on my list + it’s currently 30% off! This gingham trench coat is another great option from Nordstrom.

A cute mother’s day gift option – a gingham makeup bag for only $30 dollars.

Wish list items: this J.Crew Collcetion gingham dress, this cropped gingham jacket, Sleepy Jones PJ Set and this gingham bucket bag!

Last but not least, I need this gingham blazer and short set in my closet, asap.

You can shop all of my top picks below! Xo. Lauren
