H&M has been a favorite shopping destination of mine for years (and years and years), and truth be told, it’s where I find these fingers scrolling around when I’m bored – both bored with my time and bored with my wardrobe.  It’s a bad habit that’s certainly found me some good fashion pieces over the years.  In recent seasons, their selection runs the gambit from Gen Z’s bucket hats, crop tops and dad sneakers to the mumu dresses, comfy sandals, and super soft cardigans that I’m into, and this season is no different.

So today I’m sharing a few favorite spring finds from a recent scroll around H&M’s latest launch, and I’m not even gonna lie, a few of these pieces are currently on their way to me now.  How CUTE is that little navy striped cardigan for your Memorial Day weekend plans?  And the shoes, man I love the shoes.  I restrained myself from ordering any shoes, but I do live dangerously close to an H&M store, so the restraint isn’t over yet.  Hope everyone has a great end of the week ahead!

I was going to start this off by saying spring is just around the corner, but in Southern California, springtime is almost, pretty much, basically, depending on the day, kinda here.  And I am READY for it.  Ready for spring and ALL. THE. COLORS.  Blame it on the times, but I’ve never been more ready to introduce a little fun into my wardrobe, and right now, the stores and interwebs are bursting with the prettiest, most colorful spring collections.

From soft pastels to bold brights in every color of the rainbow, you really can’t go wrong this season.  Go all out head to toe, or just add a splash with a fun handbag, shoes, or out of your comfort zone sunglasses.  Personally, I couldn’t pick a favorite, so today I’m rounding up some of my favorite pieces in a slew of spring colors.  Which ones are you eyeing?

A couple of weeks ago I got home from a walk to the grocery store and realized that I had locked myself out of the house.  Always a fun discovery, and in my defense, I’m still getting used to the self-locking door of the rental house.  I had to kill a little time before Eric got home from work to save the day, and luckily I had a fresh People StyleWatch magazine in hand.  (Confession: I’m a total print magazine hoarder, and the nice lady who lived in our house before we bought it has never changed the address on her 100’s of magazine subscriptions.  Slight exaggeration, but girlfriend subscribes to a bunch, and I’m not mad at it.)

Anywho, I’m flipping through the mag and came across this little spring sweater from the Who What Wear X Target collection, and I was like, I need that right now.  I literally drove straight to Target and bought one of the last of these sweaters.  By now you know I love a good bell sleeve, and it’s the perfect lightweight knit for spring.  I definitely recommend sizing up though.  The sweater is meant to fit pretty snug, but I wanted a looser fit so I sized up two sizes.

Paired with the high rise black skinnies that are now on sale, it makes for a super easy and classic spring look.  And if you haven’t checked out the Who What Wear X Target goods lately, you seriously have to take a peek.  Currently on my list?  These adorable green slides, these mules that come in 5 colors, this denim trench, and these lightweight bomber jackets.  To be honest, the list could keep going and going – the spring collection is so good.  Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!

In case you missed yesterday’s post, there’s a big ol’ sale going down at Shopbop right now, and you don’t want to miss it.  I myself will be impatiently waiting for the UPS truck in a couple of days because I couldn’t resist scooping up a few new spring things.  Plus, I’ve got a potential upcoming trip to Mexico on the brain and just needed some things for that, right?  Both full-priced and sale items are included in the discount, so whether you’re looking for some end-of-season steals (umm, hello, this jacket!), a sweet deal on the bag you’ve been eyeing, or some spring wardrobe refreshers, there’s a little something for everyone.  Above are a few of my favorite picks from the site, and I can’t wait to share my purchases with you guys once they finally arrive.  Happy shopping, everyone!

If you guys haven’t heard yet, there’s a Nordstrom winter sale going down right now, and there are literally thousands and thousands of items on sale, up to 40% off.  If you’re still looking for those wintery items to get you through the next couple of months, there are plenty of those, but I’ve got spring firmly on the brain these days so I scoured through and picked out a few favorite spring-friendly styles.  Looking for new denim?  I’m partial to the high rise ripped pair at number 10, but you can find so many other great styles here.  Have an upcoming spring wedding to attend?  There are so many great dress options like this little lace number or this strappy, layered pick.  Or just looking for a few new basics?  I have this striped tee in both colors (now just $14) and wear them ALL the time.  Spring sandals?  This pair seriously JUST hit the shelves, and you can already snag them for 40% off.  The deals are good, y’all, so don’t miss out – the Nordstrom winter sale ends February 26th.

Y’all, last weekend we had our first taste of Spring around here, and it was delicious.  We spent the entire day on Sunday Lounging (with a capital L) outside on our back patio, just watching the boats pass by.  I’m telling you guys, this whole “temporary rental home”  while we remodel thing could really become a permanent in my book.  (More on what in the world I’m talking about here.)  Just don’t tell Eric.  It was 75 degrees and beautiful, so I took full advantage and used the day to break in a new favorite pair of denim shorts which ultimately just got me thinking about ALL OF THE SPRING THINGS that I can’t wait to wear.  Shorts!  Sandals!  Dresses!  And denim jackets with just about everything.  (Spring evenings are always a little chilly around here.)  I seriously need that little striped dress at number one, have already ordered the wedges at number two, and was so surprised at the prices of numbers four and eleven.  (And I think you will be too!)  So whether you’re enjoying a little California sunshine or currently surrounded by snow (sorry!), take a peek into Spring, and let me know – what are you guys most looking forward to wearing next season?
