Maxi Skirt Love

Hello lovely ladies! I am back from a short break from Shop Jolie. (I took last week off due to other projects.) I was able to take some photo's downtown this weekend. It was a little chilly, and so I threw on a long pleated maxi skirt, an embellished T-shirt & my jean jacket. Thankfully it was sunny, so I also wore sandals & sunnies! :) Here is my very first post sharing one of my current favorite outfits from my personal closet. I can't wait to share more photos with you all when the weather gets nicer!   

Oscar de la Renta Sunglasses // Old Navy Jean Jacket// Forever 21 Sandals (Similar Here)// 

Pleated Maxi from TJ Maxx (Similar Here) // Jeweled T-Shirt from Marshalls (Similar Here) 

Michael Kors Watch // Bag- Phillip Lim for Target (Sadly, all sold out.)

I love wearing maxi skirts this time of the year. Its a little too chilly for shorter skirts, but too warm for long pants. This outfit was perfect for having Sushi & doing some shopping downtown this weekend. 

I also fell in love with this skirt/short "skort" from a cute boutique in downtown Ann Arbor. You can find similar ones at TopShop! 

And how cute is this record player from Urban Outfitters?? Im obsessed. 

I spent a good part of my saturday downtown shopping with my sister, and I tried on some beautiful clothes from this cute store, Pitaya. I love shopping for spring/summer clothes! 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and that you are enjoying transforming your wardrobe for spring & summer! I sure have loved adding bright colors and loosing those dreary shades from winter. 

I love reading your comments & getting suggestions and feedback, so feel free to leave a note below! 

P.S. Keep your eyes open for a spring giveaway coming very soon!! 

My Spring To-Do List

Happy Thursday! Thank goodness Friday is just a little ways away, am I right? 

I was thrilled to find the sun shinning today.

And the warmer weather has finally started because it was 70 degrees outside! YAY! 

I found a great list on one of my favorite blogs, The Glitter Guide, the other day. They listed their spring to-do list, and this gave me a great idea to make my own, and also share some of the things I want to do over the next few months with all of you! 

Here is their list….

And here are some of the things I want to do this spring, I hope you will have a chance to do them too!

I have several books on my to-read list, but I really want to read Rachel Zoe's new book "Living in Style." it sounds so good!

I want to spend more time exercising. I want to do more yoga, bike riding etc. And I also want to start eating more fruits & veggies. I want to get ready for swimsuit season, while also having fun exercising & eating well.

 It is a great time to go through your home & clean things from top to bottom! I always do my spring cleaning in April, and I go through my clothes at this time as well. When going through the items I want to keep, I also spend time looking at blogs and Pinterest to get ideas for spring trends & new outfit inspirations. I took the pictures from today's post from Tumblr. I love looking at my site to get inspired when re-decorating or changing my wardrobe.

Don't forget to get outside, roll down your windows & let in the fresh breeze! It feels amazing after months of cold and cloudy weather. I like to eat outside at restaurants as often as I can in the spring and summer,
really take advantage of this when you can!

Try out new recipes, buy a bottle of wine you've never had before, 

make a fruity cocktail, buy fresh flowers to add to your coffee table...

Embrace the season through everything that you do! 

 



Now is also the perfect time to buy a cute new umbrella, a sweet floral fragrance, and a new shade of lipstick!   

I hope you enjoyed my list of spring to-do's! What are the things you love about spring? 

Much love,
