I'm honored to have a few fabulous friends (and incredibly talented bloggers) guest posting for me while I'm away visiting family. Alecia is the blogger behind Likes of Us and one of the most genuine people I've "met" online. Today she's sharing a few gorgeous floral pieces for Spring!

What would spring be like without florals? ……definitely not as fun if you ask me.

My closet is a clear indicator that stripes are by far and away my pattern of choice, however with the change in season I like to branch out of my comfort zone with some fashionable florals. These are a few of my top choices for spring.

I'm honored to have a few fabulous friends (and incredibly talented bloggers) guest posting for me while I'm away in Washington D.C. A Dose of Pretty has become one of my favorite daily reads and Sara is one of my dearest blog friends. I can always count on her for a quick text of encouragement, a few killer weekend ideas or, like today, amazingly inspiring favorites.

I'm so honored to be taking over Chelsea's blog while she's getting some much needed R&R with family and friends. Since you might not know me I thought I would share some of my favorite things as of late. I hope you enjoy reading about them!

+ My Fujifilm Instax Camera: I've taken it to the beach a few times and I can't wait to take it with us on vacation. + Lucy Laucht's instagram account {@lucylaucht} never fails to keep me inspired. + I love having fresh flowers in our home. It brightens up my day. + For weekend dates with the hubby I love wearing distressed denim with heels. I'm still a fan of Gap skinnies and boyfriend jeans. The J.Crew Everly heels are the most comfy heels I've tried. + And a few other random favorites: distressed denim {these Rag and Bone shorts are a new acquisiton}, embellished sandals, and coffee table books.

Be sure to stop by Sara's blog, A Dose of Pretty, for more of her favorites and follow her Instagram for more gorgeous shots!

[show_ms_widget id="80388" image_id="126804" width="700" height="895"] I'm having a major light & airy moment! With my obsession spanning every shade from ecru to robin's egg, it looks like the moody days of Winter are finally behind me. I'm getting really excited for my trip to D.C. and I've got plans to stuff my luggage with breezy whites, comfy flats (for museum hopping, of course) and a little something to snap all of the fun details as they happen.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 - When my girl Sara shared her fun new purchase I couldn't help but think of all the little details I could document with one of these! Instagram is a blast but filtering and staging snapshots seems like a ton of work compared to the carefree shutter-snap + print style of this camera. Not to mention, I haven't printed a photo in years... I'd love to have some hard copies laying around!

H to T (head-to-toe) white via J.Crew - There's just something about all white that screams Spring. Although dangerous (I'm boycotting ketchup this season... one too many klutz moments), white ensembles are effortlessly cool and this ladylike skirt is at the top of my list. Weather permitting, I'm sticking to sparkly sandals and neutrals during our vacation.

Tradition Mayor Sofa - I last mentioned this modern couch here and have since fallen deeper and deeper for its clean lines and ice cream colored upholstery. At first I was thinking pink would be the perfect refresh for our space (God knows I won't be able to talk Mr. Jackson into it) but now I'm smitten with this smokey mint shade. With a toddler running around and coloring on the furniture we won't be trading up anytime soon but a girl can dream...

Aldo D'Orsay Flats - Natalie Instagrammed these fun flats and I'm in love! This cool blue is gorgeous but I'm also dying for the greige pair.

J.Crew Victorian Lace Top - Inspired by a vintage dress from the 20s, this lacy number is what dreams are made of... beautiful, Springtime dreams.
