Keds Get an Update with Tracy Reese

Who didn't wear Keds back in the 80's? Jeez, I wore mine all the time and I drew and scribbled on them. They were my go-to shoes for almost any outfit. Now Keds are getting a bit of a refresh, thanks to the collaboration with Tracy Reese's Plenty line. I love this Dallas Peep Toe Wedge ($65) and the Mary Jane Wedge ($80). Yes these are Keds!

Kiehl's Marvelous Mineral Mascara

I've been using the new Kiehl's Marvelous Mineral Mascara for a couple weeks now and am loving it. I've been in a major beauty kick lately (more on this later), that I've been trying to find the right mix of products to look fresh and natural. This mascara does the trick and lengthens the look of my lashes without clumping. Made with some natural ingredients such as acacia senegal, jojoba oil, and aloe vera, the mascara is also paraben-free and fragrance-free. The fact that it's made with such great ingredients makes me happy to put it on each day.

Easter Dresses and Springtime Florals

This Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Print Dress ($158 at Nordstrom) just feels like a beautiful Spring garden to me. I love the watercolor feel to the print and I love, love, love, the touches of gray in the palette. You can find this dress and more in Stylehive's picks of Easter Dresses filled with lots of fabulous florals and vibrant Spring hues.

Rekiem Stripe Dress

My friend Myra sent over a link to this Rekiem Stripe Dress ($95 at Pixie Market). The different stripe sections make this oversized boat neck dress look more modern than boxy. At $95, the price is right too.

Dress Up in White Tees

An essential piece to your Spring and Summer wardrobe is the white t-shirt. But not just any o' one. White tees are cropping up with all sorts of beautiful embellishments from ruffles to ruching details. I love the fitted stylish look of this JCrew Slub Cotton Crossover V-neck Tee ($38). Paired perfectly with jeans or a flowery Spring skirt and you have an instant fresh wardrobe.

Slub cotton ruffled scoopneck tee ($39.50 at JCrew)

Fresh Tunics

Last Saturday, I had an hour of indulgence as I shopped at Anthropologie. One of the things I tried on was this Minka Tunic ($78 at Anthropologie) but ended up getting the Side-By-Side Tunic (pictured below, $88) in orange. I love the silhouette of these tunics because they are gathered at the bust. The little string ties can go in the back or in the front. You can pair these perfectly with jeans or leggings. I may need to go back and get the Minka one too!

Here are a few more shapely tunics:

Kimchi Blue 3/4 Sleeve Pintuck Tieback Tunic ($58)

Kimchi Blue Plaid Pintuck Tunic ($58 at Urban Outfitters)

DKNY Short Sleeve Tie Front Tunic (On Sale for $43.50 at Shopbop)
