Its finally feeling like Spring! Which for us in Oklahoma means, it’s hot one day and cold the next. (You can even throw in a tornado for good measure!) As soon as I pull out my favorite shorts, the next day I am reaching for my favorite sweater! I always like to have a handful of good light weight sweaters to carry me through the Spring.
Mule Block Heel

We can all shout a collective ‘HOORAY’ because block heels are sticking around for another Spring! This is one of my favorite trends, because the blocked heel gives more of a easy, bohemian feel and also adds lots of comfort! You will be seeing me in these adorable Mule Block Heels from Beau&Arrow all Spring long! What is your favorite Spring Trend?

Peplum Top
I picked up this adorable white peplum tee at the latest Gray Monroe Sip & Shop and had so many inquiries, that I thought I should link it here! I love this top. It is so soft and the perfect throw on and go piece. I paired it here with an oversized cardi, distressed jeans and my new favorite mules. Easy for an afternoon spent running errands, but still feeling put together! And bonus… it’s only $30 and you can pre-order it now! {Yay!}
Gingham Dress
Last week I tagged along with my husband as he traveled to Virginia for work. Something I never get to do, but the stars and babysitters alined and I got the chance to go with! We stayed at a hotel in the town center, which was an adorable town square with amazing shopping and restaurants. While he worked, which was seriously all day long, I wondered around, took my time at each boutique and tried on everything. (A luxury when you have young children!)
Anthropologie was one of my first stops!
T R E N D C R U S H : THE MULE
There are so many great amazing trends for Spring 2017 and I can’t wait to share a few of my favorites with you over the next few weeks! First up, the mule. I’ve been crushing on this look for a while and stalking my favorite brands waiting for a sale {does anyone else do that?!}. I’m probably the worst Fashion Blogger, because I absolutely HATE to buy anything full price! There are a few items that I truly think are investment pieces (bags, jeans, boots), but a trendy shoe isn’t one of them! I love a good dupe, especially when it’s on trend pieces. So, I thought I would round up my favorite Mules under $100! I’d love to hear your favorites too!
{Oversized} Sweater Weather
Is there any outfit easier than pairing skinnies with an oversized sweater?! It’s my go to winter style. Some days paired with sneakers, some with boots, but everyday includes an oversized sweater! I love this one from Beau & Arrow and have to admit that I wore it 4 times last week (it’s too good!)! If your local, you need to head down to the Boxyard and stop in to Beau & Arrow! It’s the cutest boutique and I can’t wait to share more looks with you over the next few weeks!
Style tip: When shopping for this look, try sizing up! The slouchier the better! When styling an oversized top, keep your pants slim. We don’t want to get lost in our clothes! Pair with leggings and over the knee boots, skinny jeans and sneakers, or a straight leg with lace up flats!
Velvet Crush

If you follow me on Instagram (@shoplindsey) you know that I have been majorly crushing on velvet lately! It seems to be the only thing I’m drawn to while shopping. I went out for some girl time (ie. Christmas break decompression) on Monday with my Mom and Aunt and everywhere we went there was at least one velvet piece in my cart! I bought the cutest velvet dress that I plan to wear to an upcoming wedding and the sweetest velvet cami for layering!
#momstyle
By now, y’all know my passion for styling and my love for getting dressed up! BUT it would be wrong to portray a me on this blog that is dressed and accessorized perfectly everyday! I’m a mom of two small kids and most days are anything but glamorous. I’m normally a mess of a human, leaving for school drop offs in leggings, Uggs and Brian’s oversized shirts. Our mornings are so hectic getting everyone ready, that I tend to be the last one throwing something on as we rush out the door. I try to pull myself together while the kids are at school, but unless I’m going somewhere important, I normally keep it very casual. I figured if this is my normal, its probably pretty normal for some of you too! I thought it would be fun to put together some chic ways to make the most of your Monday-Friday grind.
How to nail that Everyday Casual Chic look:
Metallic Skirt
Merry Christmas Eve, friends! I hope you are all relaxing and enjoying today! We’re quickly running out to grab a few last minute things before we head to our Church Christmas Eve service this evening. This outfit is totally not important on a day like today, but I thought it might be fun to share! The minute I saw this gold metallic skirt, I knew it would be perfect for this Holiday season! And paired with ruffles? Yes, please!
How to Create a Jewelry Capsule
By now, most of you have heard about the Capsule Wardrobe trend. The idea that less is more in your wardrobe. Instead of having a closet full of clothes (that you probably never wear), you select a few essential pieces that don’t go out of style; creating a mini wardrobe. The average capsule has 20-30 pieces and last for 3 months. You just mix and match those essential items to create new looks everyday! Obviously this makes getting dressed super easy, but it also saves so much money, because you’re not shopping for clothing as often!
Using this idea as a jumping off point, I wanted to create an ‘Accessories Capsule’. A grouping of accessories that you can wake up and throw on everyday and feel put together. No guess work. One of the biggest things I hear at my Trunk Shows, is women that say “I never wear jewelry, I just don’t know where to start.” This is my favorite. I understand, when your looking at a table full of Statement Necklaces and Arm Parties, it’s intimating to women who just don’t know where to start. That’s where the jewelry capsule can help.
How to create a Jewelry Capsule:
Start with a delicate Necklace; I love any piece that tells a story. Think about an engravable or an initial piece. Then add in light earrings; A thin hoop, delicate drop, or studs. Add one bracelet to layer with your everyday watch. If your day to day style is casual, think about adding a leather wrap bracelet. If it is more dressy or in a business setting, add a bangle. Finish the look with a ring or two.
