Springtime Blues!

We love the versatility of a great shirtdress! They’re so easy to style from weekend to work to events by just changing up the accessories. This print-happy maxi style in the prettiest shade of blue is a new favorite, and we adore that it’s from a female-owned brand and handmade in Nigeria….you can see more of the latest styles by Elisamama here and here! Other female-owned favorites we’re shopping for spring wardrobe essentials include Pamela Munson, Hunter Bell, Marysia, BURU, Julia Amory, Lake, Ophelia & Indigo, Printfresh and Mignonne Gavigan. We just shared our latest J.Crew must-haves that are inspired by style icon C.Z. Guest here, and lots of the new J.Crew styles are on sale today! We’re also eyeing the deals at Serena & Lily right now where everything is marked down by up to 30%…it’s the perfect time to get your outdoor spaces updated and ready for spring and summer!

We’re sharing more of our blue, white and natural favorites below that are perfect spring additions to your closet or around the house!

What Would C.Z. Wear?

sweater / pants / necklace / earrings / sunglasses (outfit gifted)

We’re channeling style icon C.Z. Guest with our latest wardrobe favorites! These classic pieces have us thinking about what C.Z. would wear for a weekend in Palm Beach, from poolside brunch at The Colony to an afternoon stroll down Worth Avenue to an alfresco supper at Renato’s. These mix-and-match styles make packing so easy, and don’t forget our favorite accessories of the season: the perfect skinny belt and pearls inspired by C.Z. of course! We’re loving the cut of this cashmere crewneck, and pairing it with white linen pants is the perfect transitional spring combo. And this chic dress is our pick for the MVP of the season…it’s under $100, so comfortable, and comes in both black and white versions!
