Velvet Footwear Just in Time for Fall

Fall is officially here and I couldn't be more excited about it. After putting away my summer sandals and heels, I noticed I was seriously lacking in the footwear department, giving me the perfect excuse to browse the selection at my nearest Marshalls. I picked up two adorable pairs that are great for the cooler weather autumn brings. There is one trend for footwear that I'm crazy about this season - velvet! Velvet footwear can be dressed up or down, offering texture and flare to any outfit.

Spontaneous Spring Living

May is here, with that comes warm sunshine and the feeling of summer. Meals are moved to the backyard, afternoons consist of picnics at the park, and succulents in bright planters are filling up my yard. I headed to Marshallsto grab a few summer essentials- a cute summer backpack, outdoor toys for Uriah, and ceramic planters for the backyard.

I’m new to the backpack trend and wanted one that was practical without sacrificing style. Once I walked in the accessory section, I spotted an amazing LeSportsac backpack in an amazing floral print. The bag is made with a lightweight fabric that I can easily wipe down and clean, making it the perfect bag for park dates and picnics. At $34.99 vs. $70- it was a steal! After making our way to the snack aisle and grabbing some Tupperware and snacks to fill them up with (hello, coconut cookies), we hit up the toy area. Uriah was in heaven! There were so many options and he was grabbing items left and right. He picked out a colorful bug catching net (only $8.99), miniature gardening tools ($4.99), and eco-friendly sand toys. When I saw the gardening tools, I thought it would be a fun activity for us to plant succulents together. Afterwards we picked twoceramic pots - both were under $10! The low price tag was surprising since both imported from Portugal. Uriah was so excited to use everything that once we got home we replanted a big succulent we had on our porch. He had such a blast using his little shovel and searching for worms. We finished our afternoon with a picnic at the park, enjoying the warm sun and fresh air.

Just in one Marshalls trip I was able to plan out some fun activities for our family and give the backyard a little pop of color. I’m looking forward to a summer filled with spontaneous trips to the park, relaxing in the backyard, and making memories with my boys. Summer really is becoming my favorite season!

Spring Brights

Denim skirts are one of my favorite trends for warm seasons - they're a closet staple in my opinion! I always find myself reaching for these first when I'm in a outfit rut, because they can work with so many other items in my closet. This one was scored for under $20 at Forever 21, proving you don't need to splurge on a great skirt - they come in all price points.

Once I spotted the delicate lace detailing on this pretty off the shoulder blouse, I knew it had to come home with me. I love the soft pink color and feminine fit paired with my favorite bells.

Let's be real, you can never have too many lace items in your closet ;)

 With warmer weather and bright sun just around the corner, it’s time to get your wardrobe spring-ready! When I think of spring, my mind immediately goes to soft fabrics, colorful prints, and lightweight layers – all of which are great for this transitional season. I’ve teamed up with Marshalls to share some of my must-have trends for spring.

Bold Prints –

Don’t shy away from prints! Try out the trend with a simple blouse paired with jeans. Looking to jump right in to this trend? Opt for a floral dress! I scored with my vibrant striped dress ($40 compare at $120) – the simple silhouette paired with the vertical shades of blue make for a show-stopping piece. To break up the print, I added a lightweight layer in the form of a sleeveless blazer.

Spring Sandals-

This is one of my favorite items to bring back after a dreary winter – sandals! Whether in the form of a block heel, espadrille wedge, or lace up stiletto, the easiest way to incorporate spring into your wardrobe is by swapping out those winter booties for a fresh sandal. This season I’m especially drawn to neutral colors, lace up detailing, and platform heels. I spotted a great designer pair of Sigerson Morrison heels on clearance for $72 compare at $480 – I was swooning over the wooden heel, neutral suede, and ankle strap. 

Cold-shoulder neckline-

This trend was huge last year and is here to stay! Marshalls has so many great options not only in the women’s department, but also in The Cube. The Cube is great for trying new trends because most items range from $9.99-$19.99, so you’re not investing too much in the trend, but still scoring a high-quality item. I found a cute striped button up with a feminine ruffle detailing ($16.99 compare at $22) that I paired with simple white jeans – perfect for lunch with girlfriends!

Lace Detailing –

When you’re looking for something delicate or feminine, lace is always the best bet- especially after a season of bulky coats and chunky sweaters. This spring staple never goes out of style and will easily transition into summer weather. I chose a crisp white blouse with a delicate lace neckline ($29.99 compare at $58) and added a little edge with distressed jeans. 

With a quick and inexpensive trip to Marshalls, I was able to refresh my closet with great items for spring! Now I’m ready for sunshine filled days and trips to the farmers’ market. Which trends are you most excited for this spring?
