Closet Essentials: May Edition

April came and went more quickly than expected and now we are in the month of May; the flowers are blooming, the weather is warmer, and almost everyday calls for a pair of aviators. Here are some of my favorite items for May, as we all transition from spring, to summer...

Lovely Dresses

(This dress is from Joyous and Free, which makes some of the best summer dresses around. This pattern is light and airy and because it is busy, allows for it to be thrown on with not much else. Also, it is cotton and therefore extremely comfortable and breezy.)

(This dress is from Elie Tahari, that I bought at the Saks 5th Avenue outlet years ago and have worn it at least a few times a season since. This color is timeless and the rope-like straps add a nautical element, which is perfect for summer -- again, super comfortable and easy to wear.)

Some Sandals

(These Michael Kors sandals have taken me through more than one season and have proven to be comfortable enough to wear during the day and are easy-to-match because of their camel color. Also, we love the cork wedge!)

Baubles and Bangles

(I am a recent fan of beaded bracelets - I have always preferred a variation of chains, but this season, different colored and patterned beads are easy to throw on and look just as polished as a mix of metals. These were a gift but are from Angela Moore.)

(I am obsessed with these bamboo-like bangles; they are flashy but subdued and were a wonderful gift from my grandmother. Needless to say, you can wear them all at once or break up the stack, depending on what else you have on. Accessories that mirror nature very "in" this season and I would highly recommend investing in a stack of wooden bangles, if you haven't already.)

Hi Loves,

This week, I have been lucky to be able to slow down a bit and have a few seconds of relaxation. What has made these moments all the better, is that this week's weather has been quite warm, allowing for no jacket to be worn and new sandals to be broken in. With this change in weather comes changes in wardrobe and thus "new" things coming out of your closet (yay)! Here are some of my favorite things to wear in the warm spring months; I love spring dresses, I love bangles, I love wedges, and I hope that you all have the chance to enjoy them as the summer months approach. Have a wonderful Thursday!

xoxo,
