One of the biggest trends this year is tiered ruffle sleeves. Ruffle sleeves seem to be everywhere for spring; despite the fact that they did not dominate the runways. This has turned into a trend which is well-loved by the street; unlike most street style trends, this is a flirty and feminine style trend. Love it!

I was thrilled to find this cute pink top with tiered ruffle sleeves for the spring season. Not only does it cost under $20, it is right on trend. The fabric is easy to to iron and stays wrinkle-free after ironing. I ironed this top, and then wore it  to run errands for about three hours before my daughter snapped these pictures; and it looks great! Love that!

Isn’t this tote bag cute?! There is a huge trend right now towards couture from Mexico. It is one of the hottest up-and-coming regions for hand-made fashion. This tote was hand-made in Talum, Mexico. I have a full review of this tote and the company coming up on the blog this Friday-so stay tuned!

If you are looking for a graduation gift, Mother’s Day gift, Father’s Day gift, or a gift for yourself, check out this Welly Merck watch. You can save 20% off your purchase with coupon code BAF20. My full review is online here.

Back to this tiered ruffle sleeve top, I have fallen in love with this spring trend. I know I will find myself wearing this top often this spring; and on cool summer days when the fog rolls in over the Santa Cruz Mountains. You can find this fun and flirty top for under $20 online here.

This spring there are so many ruffles and bows on the market! It is a seasonal trend I have fallen in love with. I have found myself filling my closet with ruffle and bows!

I love this black and white checkered blouse from SheIn for spring. It has a playful little ruffle around the bottom and three feminine bows down the back. The fabric is lightweight too; making it perfect for transitioning from spring into summer. Love!

I wore this outfit over the weekend for lunch, and shopping, with my friend Laura and her cute little baby Mason. You might know Laura from Have Need Want. Her baby is so cute! He is six months old, and has the cutest little smile. I had the honor of holding him for awhile and it was so nice. It reminded me of when my kids were little like that. I do miss those baby days-except for maybe the diapers. haha

This black and white gingham blouse is so much fun. I cannot wait to wear it throughout the spring season, and into the summer months. It will look cute with denim shorts too. You can find it online here for only $20! This is such a great deal on a beautiful blouse. Love it!

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / YSL lipstick / beige sparkle tee / denim shirt / black bomber jacket (under $20!!) / straight leg leggings c/o Comm-ci (so comfy!) / Givenchy handbag / Chanel spring nail polish / Adidas sneakers

It is spring break for my kids this week! Yay! This means I have been able to take a little vacation along with them. When I am relaxing, yet still need to dress decently in order to go about town running errands etc., nothing beats the current athleisure trend. I am so happy leggings are considered fashionable right now! My favorite leggings to reach for when I am sporting the athleisure look at these soft and chic, straight leg leggings by Comm-Ci.

Comm-Ci is a fabulous online shop which is a legging heaven. They offer every type of legging imaginable from cropped knee length to straight leg. They offer high waist and low waist options, making it a one-stop-shop for leggings. Love!

I really love my straight leg leggings from Comm-Ci, they are so soft and comfortable; I definitely need to add more pairs to my wardrobe!

My son is trying to save up his allowance for a video game, so I showed him how to use my DSLR camera and he took these photos! He is only eight-years-old and I think he did a great job on the photos! He was really proud of himself when he realized he had learned how to use the camera. It was so cute! Don’t you think he did a great job?

You can find my leggings and more by Comm-Ci on their website at Comm-Ci.com.
