Wearing: Ivory tassel earrings / YSL lipstick / pale pink ruffle shirt (under $30) / Cult Gaia Ark bag / boyfriend jeans (old, also love this pair)  / black watch / Kendra Scott ring / Gucci spring nail polish / pale pink wedges (under $175)

No-one can deny, ruffles are a huge trend for the spring 2017 season. We saw them on the runways, and then they took the streets by storm. Of course the ruffle trend did not just start now, it started a few seasons ago, and this season is has exploded beyond belief!

It seems as if everywhere I turn this spring season I see ruffles! It is almost like they are chasing me around! Well, I love ruffles for spring, and I am happy they are everywhere! There is something carefree and fun about ruffles. They are playful and light; making any outfit fabulous and fun at the same time. Love!

I was so thrilled to find this pale pink blouse for under $30. Not only does it offer a carefree silhouette, it has ruffles! Oh the fun of it! My daughters love it too, they think it is so much fun. It is really comfortable with my loose fitting boyfriend jeans. This has turned into my go-to casual look for spring when I want to feel comfortable yet pulled together.

What do you think of the ruffle trend for spring? Are you wearing ruffles for spring, if so, how do you like to wear them?

Wearing: hat (also love this one) / YSL lipstick / Kendra Scott earrings / maxi dress c/o OhConcept / Cult Gaia Ark bag / Kendra Scott ring / Gucci spring nail polish / black watch / espadrilles (fabric version)

Spring is here! This means I am starting to think about vacations; both spring break and summer. It would be so nice to find a beach somewhere and sleep on it for a whole week! My kids schedules are wearing me out, I need a huge nap!

This maxi dress from OhConcept is perfect for my current mood. It has a vacation vibe, yet can easily be worn here in the San Francisco Bay Area at home. I wore this dress the other day to have lunch with my kids in downtown Saratoga, at the library, and to run errands. It was really comfortable, and made my day seem a little bit lighter since I felt like I was dressed for a beach getaway! Love that!

This dress by OhConcept is made from a lightweight jersey fabric and has a fun, open back. There is also a tie at the waist which adds a nice silhouette to the dress, as well as a fun little tassel on the side. Love it!

I cannot wait to plan a beach getaway and wear this dress non-stop while on vacation. It is the perfect vacation outfit idea for spring break or a summer getaway! This dress is also fabulous to wear right now, and well into the summer months, right here at home. It will be fun to wear casually with sandals or espadrilles, or pair with heels for a dressier look. Love this dress!

You can find this beautiful maxi dress by OhConcept online here, and you can find the entire OhConcept collection online at OhConcept.com. You will love their collection, they have so many fashionable, casual options which are perfect to wear right now! Love!

Welly Merck watch review

well merck watch review welly merck gold watch

Pictured: watch c/o Welly Merck. Welly Merck watch in gold

You know I am all about luxury, so when Welly Merck contacted me and taught me all about their luxurious watch line; I was intrigued. Not only does Welly Merck make luxurious watches which are beautiful and keep accurate time, they make them affordable too. Love!

The Welly Merck story is one of true love. The company was born from a loving marriage between two people who traveled the globe to be with one another. Rather than re-tell someone else’s story, you can read about the romantic tale online here.

From this love, a fabulous and luxurious watch company was born. Welly Merck watches are nothing short of fabulous! They offer thin watch faces; and my Mother always told me, the thinner the casing, the more expensive the watch! There are watch styles for both men, and women, in sporty and dressy styles. I love these watches!

The sleek, metallic and leather watch offerings fit any taste in watches. It was really difficult for me to pick just one watch! The gold watch shown in these pictures is what I ultimately chose since my only gold watch is vintage, and I don’t like to wear it that often. My Welly Merck watch is classic, sleek, luxurious, and easy to wear every day. Love that!

If you can’t choose between watch straps, Welly Merck also sells watch straps, so you can buy one face, and multiple straps, to give your watch all different looks; depending on your outfit or mood. They offer metal, leather, and fabric straps. I love the metallic watch straps. This gold strap is so chic! I love how it compliments the hardware on my favorite handbag.
