I’ve gotten the most amazing sweaters from Chaps — you guys may remember this one, which has been on heavy rotation for months now!  But honestly, their selections this spring are even better! 

I’ve fallen in love with their pretty bright-color cardigans, and they’re perfect for adding a little sweater onto a cute outfit!  You’ve already seen the blue one, but this tangerine-colored one is a major favorite too!  (And at $32.50, there’s no excuse to own just one color!) Texas is so hot in the summertime, but restaurants, stores and offices are air-conditioned to the max — I never leave home without something to keep me warm!

And is there anything better than colorblocking pastels?  Just looking at these photos puts me in the mood for summer!

I love that you can always see me coming a mile away!  While I have a bunch of little black dresses in my closet, there’s nothing I love more than a pop of color… or several!

These shorts are by the awesome designer By Smith — and they were also in the Cotton runway show!  As soon as I heard about them, I knew they were the perfect up-and-coming designer to spotlight — but now that they’re in almost 90 stores across the East Coast and the South, I feel like I may have even been behind the curve!  If you don’t have them on your radar already, I guarantee that you’ll be hearing a lot more about them a year from now (if not sooner)! 

I love that spring seems to be hitting the rest of the world lately — I’m so happy to leave winter coats behind (not that I ever really wore them in Texas anyways)!  Let’s face it: brights are always at their best when it’s warm and breezy outdoors!

You guys, I am so excited for spring clothes this year!  Since we don’t really have winter in Houston, my spring and summer clothes really do double duty — I have an entire section of my closet dedicated to shorts, while my winter coats are store way in the back of our never-used coat closet, right behind our Christmas tree and Halloween decorations (yes, seriously.  I use wool coats less often than I use Halloween decorations). 

So when a new crop of brightly colored, Texas-weather clothes and accessories pop up, I get pretty darn excited.  I loved this super-soft, lightweight top from LA Made, and it paired so perfectly with the gorgeous Big Mix Up Bracelets from Mark.  I love that they’re a little boho but still totally stylish with any outfit.
