march. the. list.

A new month means a slew of new goodies to yearn after. With the weather already starting to feel like spring (I’m talking upper 60's, people!), all things gingham, plaid and spring-y are currently on my radar. For the March list, I picked out items with major styling potential. Basically, anything quirky, girly and a bit Parisian made the final cut. Scroll down to see my faves...

1. Belted Trench Coat with Hood (J.Crew) // With April showers right around the corner, I can’t think of anything more practical (or chic!) than a bright red trench. Am I right?! I’m also loving this one with a preppy gingham liner. Major #swoon.
2. Saffron Ankle Wrap Sandal (Loeffler Randall) // Can you say perfect pink sandals? These lovelies by Loeffler Randall are a fun update on your classic ankle strap sandals. The tassels (!) and fun wrap style make it the ultimate match-up for denim dresses, easy-breezy skirts — you name it.
3. Flavor of the Month Popsicle Coin Purse (Kate Spade) // Naturally, I need this cheeky popsicle coin purse from Kate Spade. It’s seriously too perfect… and especially Insta-worthy come ice cream season.
4. Hello Sailor Intarsia Cashmere Sweater (Chinti and Parker) // While it may no longer be #sweaterweather, I know that spring temps can be unpredictable at best. (Think: chilly mornings and warm + sunny afternoons.) That said, a knit sweater will always do you right — especially when it’s navy + nautical. Throw some white scalloped shorts or white skinny leg jeans into the equation and it’s a done deal.
5. Striped Organic Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt (Chinti and Parker) // This striped tee from Chinti and Parker — complete with a pink heart-printed pocket — provides for a fun twist on your every t-shirt. While it’s definitely a splurge, just think how cute it’ll look teamed with skinny leg jeans or a paperbag skirt and ballerinas. I digress.
6. Plaid Tie-Front Skirt (Madewell) // I can’t explain it, but whenever I see this plaid tie-front skirt, I immediately think of hot summer days and freshly mowed grass. There’s something about it that just screams warm(er) weather to me. ALSO, I love how perfectly effortless and daytime casual it is. Tuck in a white tee, toss on a sweatshirt or pair it with a chambray shirt for your new spring uniform.
7. The Striped Cloud Bag With Top Handle (The Cambridge Satchel Company) // If you haven’t checked out The Cambridge Satchel Co.’s selection of bags lately, then you seriously need to. Like RN. Not just limited to their timeless satchels (which I love!), there’s currently a variety of silhouettes (from hands-free crossbody bags to of-the-moment saddle bags) to choose from in a range of dreamy pastel hues. This classic navy-and-white top handle bag has got me swooning hard. The scalloped detailing is easily the best part.
