Budget Denim

Truth be told, I am a creature of habit when it comes to denim.  AG and 7  for All Mankind are by far away and my favorite brands and have been for several years.  I’m also a fan of Paige, Joe’s, and Citizens.  But I don’t necessarily love the high price tag of these designer brands.  So every now and again, I’ll test out denim brands based on trend.

And that’s what led me to these jeans.  I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Emily, from The Sweetest Thing, wearing this specific pair and I thought they were so cute (she tends to wear the same brands of denim that I do), that I decided to give them a try.  And I am SO glad that I did!  Not only are they cute, comfy, and fit true to size, but the best part?  They are on sale for less than $90!  So if you are looking for new denim for the spring season, I would highly recommend these!

Shopbop Friends and Family Sale

Hi guys!  In case you didn’t know, today is the LAST day of the Shopbop Friends and Family sale.  This is seriously my favorite sale of the Spring season because you can get so many amazing name brands (that never go on sale) for 25% off!!

And not only is a great time to stock up on items for your Spring wardrobe, but it’s also an ideal time to invest in pieces that are classics but tend to be a little more expensive (say a new handbag, pair of sunglasses, or a great pair of denim).  So today, I wanted to showcase some of my most beloved pieces from Shopbop that I wear all the time (both on the blog and in real life!) that are currently 25% off!

In The Details

I’m not sure why, but I always feel like it’s more challenging to find cute long sleeved tops then it is to find cute short sleeve or sleeveless tops.  So when I find one, I typically tend to snatch it right up.  And the long sleeve top in today’s is exactly one of those pieces.  Not only is it darling and a great price point, but the white is on trend for the season, and all of the pretty embroidered colors will make it easy to style a number of different ways. It’s pretty much a no-brainer to add to your wardrobe this Spring.  And if you’re not a fan of white, don’t worry, it comes in navy too!

#itsBanana

Banana Republic has always been a staple among my favorite places to shop.  But lately, I have found myself shopping there even more than usual.  And not just for clothing, but for accessories and shoes as well.  So when they recently reached out to see if I wanted to do a collaboration and have one of their in-house stylists send me a couple of items to style on my blog, I immediately obliged.  And I have to say, the stylist couldn’t have picked two more perfect items for me.  I have already gotten so much wear out of this lightweight merino sweater (I am also in LOVE with the color).  And these fringe sandal couldn’t be more on point for the season.

So whether Banana is a favorite of yours (like mine!), or you haven’t checked out a Banana in a while, be sure to pop into your local store, or stop by online to check out the rest of Banana’s amazing Spring lineup.  There are so many good things to choose from, I don’t even know where to start!

Blush

This jacket is about the best thing in my closet right now.  If it looks familiar, that’s because I own it in black and in a burgundy color and wear them both all of the time.  In fact, I am in NYC right now and my black version was the first thing I packed for my trip.  And the good news is, Nordstrom has it fully stocked in black, cognac, and this blush color right now.  The fit is amazing, the faux leather is gorgeous quality, AND it’s under $100!  I would highly recommend adding this piece (in at least one, if not two!), colors to your closet this season.  It’s one of those classic staples that you will wear again and again (all year round), and I just can’t say enough good things about it!

Brights

Recently I went through a phase where I couldn’t stop wearing neutrals.  Yet suddenly, I can’t seem to get enough of bright colors.  But I definitely can’t blame it on the spring-like weather, because it’s dumping snow here in Utah again this week!!!!! Regardless, it definitely feels good to be incorporating some brights (and fun print mixing) back into my wardrobe again, even if it is freezing!!!

Color

I am always looking for fun and unique pieces to add to my wardrobe.  And when I spotted this shirt, I immediately loved it because not only is it super different than anything I own, but it is also a totally classic silhouette.  Ant that, my friends, makes it an easy top to style, while still upping the ante a bit.  PLUS, it’s great quality and under $25!

Easter Traditions

Every year since I can remember, I have looked forward to getting a new dress for Easter Sunday.  When I was growing up, my mom would always take me shopping for something new, which most likely involved gloves and a bonnet.  And to this day, it’s a tradition that I still adhere to and love (well maybe minus the gloves and the bonnet!).

And this year, when I started looking for a dress, Chic Wish was the first place I started.  Lately, they have become my go-to for pretty dresses, skirts, and oh-so feminine tops.  They offer gorgeous pieces that are fantastic quality without breaking the bank.  So if you are looking for something pretty and unique, be sure to check them out.

DSC_6183 DSC_6158 DSC_6146 DSC_6118 DSC_6153 DSC_6144 DSC_6171 DSC_6143 DSC_6157 DSC_6170

Dress: Chic Wish c/o AND it’s under $55!!! (it runs a little small in the arms/shoulders; I am normally a size small, or 4/6, and am wearing a large in this dress-but the quality is FANTASTIC!)

Bracelets: Tiffany and Co., Stella & Dot, JCrew

Sunnies: Prada (obsessed!)

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (old), LOVING this

Heels: Banana Republic (SUPER comfy!), also own and love these

And on a more serious note, if you live in the SLC and are looking for a place to attend an Easter service, or if you are just curious about Jesus and a God who is crazy about YOU (no matter what baggage you THINK you might have), then come, just as YOU are, for what is bound to be an amazing experience at Antioch SLC (and if you aren’t in the SLC, that’s ok-there are Antioch Churches all over the country!).  To be 100% real with you guys, the past few months have been proven to be a pretty challenging season in my personal life, and I have found so much grace and solace through Antioch.  It’s truly a special place, and I have a feeling Easter is going to be pretty incredible. The service is at 5pm on Sunday at the Falls Event Center at Trolley Square.  I will be there and would love to see some of your beautiful faces!  So be sure to come and say “hi” if you decide to check it out.

Antioch

Happy Friday, my sweet friends, and happy Easter weekend!  Love you guys!!!

Abby

 

Neon

You all probably know by now what a huge fan I am of army green.  But what you might not know, is that one of my favorite ways to wear it is with neon or a bright pop of color.  It’s a really easy way to change-up pieces you already have in your closet and give them a fresh new look.

Plus, I still can’t get over this studded jacket.  I’ve had it for 2 years now and I wear it all the time.  I would highly recommend it if you have been eyeing it.  It literally goes with everything and is fantastic quality.  You can also see how I styled it in the black here.

And can we just talk about the SNOW on the ground for a minute?  So crazy.  It was 70 on Monday, and then we had a huge storm roll in on Tuesday.  My poor flowers, and all of the blossoms on the trees!  Fortunately it’s supposed to warm up again over the weekend.  Just in time for Easter!

Abby
