Trench: Target, Dress: Fascino, Clutch: Marley Lilly, Baubles: Jcrew and Rockbox, Shoes: Lauren Conrad, Sunnies: Ray Bann 

Happy Tuesday everyone! 

I wanted to personally thank you all for all the sweet and encouraging love from last weeks post! I can't believe that this little blog is now officially two! So I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 

Now on to today's post! You may remember this dress from months ago! I shot this dress in the heat of winter and really wanted to show the versatility of this dress! We all have that item in our closet that we can make super versatile! For me, it is this dress! Even though we can't see it is bell sleeves which personally is a new obsession of mine! I never really ever wore a bell sleeve until I went to Fascino and purchased this dress! I guess you can say this dress is perfect for the end of the winter and for spring! And can we take a moment to discuss this trench?? I purchased this trench because I thought the color really screamed spring and totally different from anything else! 

Wishing you all a wonderful start of the week!

Spring Cleaning with Tommy John

Every season I have the problem of what to keep and what to finally throw away! Since starting my blog I feel like I keep way more things than I used to! Because I think for some reason I will wear a ridiculous hot pink dress in a future post? Today I am teaming up with Tommy John to bring you all my tips and tricks when it comes to cleaning out your closet!

1. Think if you will picture yourself in this? 
I have to do this a lot! Like I said before I have problems with keeping things I know I don't need! I know so many people are also like me! The best tip is if you can't see yourself in this garment anymore it mostly means that it is time to let go! Think of this as letting go to gain! Letting go of an old garment means a new one will be soon added to your closet. That means a new story and a new chapter!

2.If it doesn't complement you don't keep it!
If it doesn't fit anymore and or it just isn't complimenting you! Mostly that means it's time to let it go! As upsetting as that can be you don't want to keep something in your closet that just isn't going to fit you!

3. Is this Outdated? 
Seasons come and go and so do trends! Unfortunately, things become super outdated and we all tend to keep things that are outdated! This goes with number one! just discard that garment to open new garments into your closet!

4. Is the garment falling apart? 
If the item is starting to fall apart to the point where it possibly can not be repaired it is time to let it go! Nothing is worse than a garment falling apart! Even if you spend tons of money on this garment just remember good clothes fall apart!

5. Old Everything! 
Throw out all old undergarments, pants,skirts, shirts and bathing suits! Also, go through purses and jewelry! This is always a great idea to clear space and also to understand what you actually have! We sometimes are so unaware of what we own!

So what can you get rid of right now? 
Garments that don't fit and or don't complement you 
Dresses that are way too short (check the hemline and the cut) 
Outdated garments! 
Ripped essential shirts!
Garments that have faded! 

As for the men in our life! 

-Pull out all old PJ's and old underwear! 

- Throw away all old and worn out undies! 

- Old socks and undershirts can be thrown out! (Most men have a hard time getting rid of socks) 

- Replace the old with the new! Try a better and much more stylish men's underwear! 

- Because doesn't everyone deserve to be feeling and looking their best?

Monday creeps up on me way too fast anymore...

Happy Monday everyone I hope you all had a relaxing and wonderful weekend! I know mine was filled with Easter parties and Easter egg hunts! It is so much fun to watch little ones look for eggs and then open all the eggs and get so excited! Brings back so many fun memories! As for my naked cake, it went off without a hitch! Highly recommend you make one you will love it! 

This week is a stressful but super fun week! I have a total of 4 posts this week! Which has never been done but I am trying it for the first time! So lets hope and pray it goes well! Also, I am getting my photos done on Tuesday for the anniversary of Coffee And A Blonde!Who would have thought that my little blog would be turning 2!?? Not me! 

Today's post is a mashup of an outfit I wore while I was in Myrtle Beach! It was still cold but kinda super warm compared to PA's wonderful temps at the time! Cooler mornings and warmer afternoons is what we had while I was visiting! I was quite content because all I had to do is pull a layer off! But my favorite thing had to be the chicness of wearing your jacket and or coat just on your shoulders! By wearing it like that it automatically kicks up your outfit 100%! Try it I'm serious you will love the instant fashion update! 

Wishing you all a wonderful start to this week! 

Painting Charleston Red

Ahhh Wednesday is here!! 

Today is my last day of class before Easter! I am so excited to have a few days off to get some work done! And of course, get some baking done for Easter! I really love this time of year pastels and fresh blooms! But I also love the tradition I am so excited to be attempting to make madeleine cookies and a naked cake! Yes naked cake, search it on Pinterest it is so creative and amazing! Can not wait!

 Romper: Fascino, Shoes: Mudd, Necklace:The giving key, Bag: MarleyLilly Sunnies: Ray Ban, Bracelets: Bourbon and Bowties

As for this romper, it is my favorite thing on this planet! I always have had trouble when it comes to rompers. Usually, they don't fit me right and or complement me. But this one is literally perfection and so perfect for spring and summer! Can we talk about a serious transition piece? I am so sad however because this is my last charleston post! I seriously loved my time in charleston! The beauty and the history it is so wonderful and I feel so blessed I had the opportunity to go! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday! 

Welcoming Spring with MakeSpace

Spring is literally just around the corner! And we all know that it can be quite exciting unpacking all our spring and summer wardrobe! It is like welcoming an old friend back! We finally can unpack all our colorful and bright prints! Which is literally my favorite thing on this planet! So many trends go and so many come back! But I am so excited to have been inspired by MakeSpace to bring you some of my favorite trends for this season.

Silk Scarf: Bijuju, Shoes: Vestique
Silk Scarfs- I am obsessed with this Parisian concept! If you follow me on Instagram you can see that I have a thing for them!(Vfox1234) They are effortless and just so darling! Take a basic white tee and add a silk scarf around your neck... Perfect outfit combo!

Lace Up Flats- Probably one of the biggest trends of right now! I am hooked on these babies, as you can see! They are one so comfy and two they are effortlessly chic! 

Shorts: JCrew, Tommy Hilfiger, and Target Bracelet: JCrew
Multi Colored Shorts- Jcrew every season has my heart literally! Every year I am a huge fan of colored shorts! I love this color for spring and summer!
Bright Jewelry: I am obsessed with colorful jewelry! I mean nothing screams spring like bright color jewels! Enough said! Keep complementary designs in mind don't invest so much in a piece that it leaves you bankrupt! 

Bag: Kate Spade
Bright Spring Bag- Spring is NOT complete without an adorable spring bag! Luckily I picked this one up Tj Maxx back in the fall! So I am so excited to pull this beauty out! A perfect floral or simple tote can be perfect to carry you from spring to summer effortlessly! 

   Packing and unpacking tips!  

When it comes to packing and unpacking your wardrobes for the next seasons. Remember to fold all your sweaters! To prevent stretching making them super unwearable and useless! Also neatly fold and or stack your shirts, tee's and even sweaters! This helps to make more space when placing everything in a container and or bins! When it comes to dresses I have great luck with sticking them in the back of my closet making a rotation when different seasons come! Also, remember those garments that have to go to the Dry Cleaners. Get those garments cleaned before the start of the season! By doing this you can just grab and go!  Not having to worry about the wine stain on your fav Kate Spade dress! 

And finally, remember those companies that will help to take that extra stuff from your closet! Makespace is a wonderful, and on-demand storage company, that does just this.
From small to big they can handle all different products! And when this time comes that you will need that season back, they deliver right to your home! How chic is that?

Polka dot's make me chic?

Skirt: Jcrew, Shoes: Charlotte Russe, Coat: Scandal Collection, Clutch: Amazon Fashion 

Necklace: Parklane, Top: Forever 21, Sunnies: Sunglass Hut 

Spring is almost here! And the extremely warm temperatures here at home are starting to catch up with my spring vibes! 

If you can't tell I am pushing hardcore for this very warm weather! Simple touches around the house are starting to show my need for spring! I even have pulled out the hot pink lipstick and I have been sporting that around for about a week now! Whoops since we are expecting snow this week! 

But there is always something about polka dots that help to make you instantly feel that it is spring and or warm outside! At least for me that how I feel! What is something that automatically makes you feel warmer weather is coming! 

Happy Wednesday Everyone!! 

Springtime Dress..

Dress: Fasciano, Bracelet: Bourbon and Bowties , Lippie: Cover Girl, Boots: DSW, Tights: H@M 

This is me showing off the need for spring in my life right now! I probably am horrible at keeping things in my closet and saving them for next season. So I got creative and decided to wear something springy into the last of this winter. I am in love with the design and pattern of this dress. It is so pretty, when I found it I instantly fell in love with the flowers. I am too much of a lover of flowers...sorry not sorry.....But seriously can we just admire the tie in the front? We will be seeing this dress much more this spring and summer! Wishing you all a relaxing weekend!
