ThrowBack Thursday // Leather & Florals

I was going through some photo's from last May, and I came across these pictures. I thought I would share them for a quick "Throwback Thursday" post! I love this leather skirt that I bought at Nordstrom Rack, and the top is from H & M. Mixing florals with a chic black leather skirt is one way to tone down the leather if you aren't as comfortable wearing the trend. I also added colorful heels and a clutch from Target to add something extra to the look. My nails are painted with a fun baby blue shade called "Bikini so Tiny" and my druzy stone ring is from Forever 21.

Sadly, since this is a throwback post I can't share the links to the items I'm wearing since they are no longer sold. However, Pinterest has some great links to find similar tops & skirts!

Do you ever look back on pictures and remember outfits you loved? I would love to hear about them!

Feel free to leave a comment below, and share your thoughts & suggestions!

I truly love hearing from you!

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.

(Check out my Tumblr page for more inspiring photos like these…. dreamalittledream4me.tumblr.com)

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,

Spring Wish List

Hello! Over the weekend I went to Chicago with my family. We stayed downtown and I was able to do some shopping while I was there! I haven't been to Chicago for a few years, and I forgot how much I adore Michigan Ave. and The Magnificent Mile! I spent Saturday shopping at my favorite stores such as; Nordstrom, Forever 21, H & M, and most importantly, Zara & Topshop! We don't have either Zara or Topshop in Michigan, so I was thrilled to find both stores in Chicago. I've been to Zara a few times, when I lived in Florida. But I had never been into a Topshop before. I quickly fell in love with everything in that store! I could have spent hours there, trying on beautiful clothes & getting inspired through their style. I did buy a few things, but throughout the day I saw some amazing pieces that I didn't buy (even though I wanted to!) And I thought it would be a good idea to share some of them on my blog. I hope you enjoy my fun finds, and that you can be inspired to go out and do some spring shopping!
