The beginning of May has been nothing short of marvelous! Beautiful weather (it was 65 degrees this morning – what!), lots of birthday celebrations and many plans in the works for lots of fun and travel-filled days ahead of us! May, I know you’re going to be a great one! Aside from all of that, lately I’ve been rearranging my closet and pulling out all of my spring and summer dresses from years past. This little blue embroidered number is a favorite from last year – paired with my summer hat from Cuyana + the cult classic ark bag = this year’s updated look for a warm, springy day! 

Other than rummaging through my closet, I’ve been doing a bit of pinning, perusing the Madewell website and making a list of this season’s “needed” times. On the top of my list — a jean jacket, an everyday pair of sandals (maybe these?) and a light wash pair of denim! I tend to be a slow shopper, so I have a hunch that a couple of these items may stay on my wish list for awhile, but I honestly enjoy the hunt of finding just the perfect piece to add to my wardrobe! Anyone else feel the same? What items have you had your eye on lately?

Aside from my never-ending clothes hunt, the rest of this week is set to be a busy one! Scott and I are excited to celebrate our niece’s birthday on Thursday (I hear she’s all about Trolls and Moana right now — SO sweet!), and then we’re popping up at a fun market this Saturday — the Local Trade Marketplace from 10am-3pm! If you’re local or just in the area, be sure to stop by 4634 E. Monte Vista Rd. in Phoenix and say hi + plus shop Citizen HD and so many other local creatives! It’s sure to be a super fun market, so don’t miss it, friends!

How has May been treating you so far? Tonight things couldn’t feel more perfect — our bedroom window is open and the coolest breeze is streaming into our room, along with the most quiet sounds of tiny rain drops falling from the night sky. Here’s to remembering this moment forever!
