French Inspired and Linen

Two of the biggest trends in shirts this summer are absolutely going to be French inspired and linen.
Pretty much every shop at the mall has t-shirts with a French inspired flare to them.
Whether or not it features the French language or the Eiffel Tower, it's easy to find one for you
whatever your budget may be.
Linen is a great option for shirts the summer.
The lightweight fabric is perfect for when the temps start to soar.
While it can wrinkle easy, laying it flat to dry after washing can help with that.
One option I went for, is wearing a t-shirt that is French inspired and linen.
Mine is from J.Crew , but below I have posted several shirts that are linen, French inspired, or both!
Here is what I wore with my French inspired linen t-shirt.

Lobsters Are Perfect For Spring

I am absolutely in love with this lobster sweater I picked up last week at the J.Crew Factory Store.

It's incredibly soft and has a great fit. Plus it's so fun! The jeans are Rock and Republic. I bought them years ago at Nordstrom Rack. I have yet to find another pair of distressed jeans that I like as much as this pair. I like that the distressing is subtle and the color is great. I picked up the yellow statement necklace along with the sweater at the J.Crew Factory Store. I always like the color yellow but I have a hard time wearing it because I am so pale, but the color is so great and so spring! It makes me think of sunshine.

Here is what I wore for a beautiful Spring day:

Saturday Chic - Midi Skirt

This is one of my new favorite go to skirts for a simple, chic, professional look.  

The midi length is fabulous with heels!

It has been super warm here lately so a simple denim jacket works great when I am  running around town, heading to dinner with Kaleb, or meeting friends for brunch.

Necklace: Brand Unknown (Gifted)
Shirt: Lush (Nordstrom Rack)
Tank BP (Nordstrom)

Kate Middleton Inspired

The other day at work a girl I work with was pursuing photos of the beautiful Kate Middleton. Every since she burst onto the style scene I feel like I often find myself saying. "This is SO Kate Middleton. I have to have it!" Such was the case with the blazer I wore to work. I was digging through the clearance rack a few years back at Nordstrom Rack when a friend of mine found this gem. I am obsessed with this blazer, yet somehow I always forget to wear it!
Well after spending a good chuck of my day looking at Kate's photos with my coworker. I was inspired. So here is what I wore that was inspired by the stunning Duchess of Cambridge.
Who do your draw your style inspiration from?

Avenues Bistro, Al Fresco

Today I got to go to lunch with one of

my best girlfriends at an

adorable little spot called Avenues Bistro.

It had the most charming outdoor patio and the

food was delicious!

I've had the dress I wore hanging

in my closet with the tags on it since June!

I thought I better wear it ASAP

before it gets to cold.

Fun fact about this dress,

Its original price was $130

When I stumbled upon the dress, it had

been marked down to $90.

With an additional 30% off

Plus, Madewell  (like its parent company J.Crew)

offers a 15%teacher/student discount.

Meaning I paid about $50 for it!

That's a steal!

Anyway, here is what I wore:
