Happy Friday! I hope that you all are having a wonderful start to spring. I have been increasingly busy with school work this semester, so I haven't been able to pop over here to the blog and post as much as I would like. Therefore, there have been countless items around the web that have been catching my eye. So to put a stop to the silence I have rounded up a few of my favorite shopping, web, and blog links that I have been bookmarking lately. 

ONE.  my favorite home furnishing and design company, Serena & Lily, has now expanded to include a small fashion line! The collection perfectly suits their brand, fresh and modern twists to traditional silhouettes. So many of dresses are calling my name! (stripe dress pictured above)

TWO: one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Annie Reeves, released a beautiful new blog layout and design after working with the endlessly inspiring Hanna Seabrook of Gadabout. Annie's posts and instagrams always make me long for a trip to Charleston. 

THREE: there is nothing better than a sale to give you the extra push to buy a piece you have been eying. In this case, I had my eye on this small embroidered clutch by Lizzie Fortunato, so when I saw that Of A Kind was offering 50% off all their items I went for it! (enter SPARKSJOY for discount)

FOUR: now that the weather is finally starting to get warmer, I have been looking for the perfect light jacket to add to my closet. I don't have any versions of a trench coat, so this J.Crew Poplin Swing Trench has caught my eye. 

FIVE: it is no secret here on the blog that Tata Harper creates some of my favorite skincare products. So you can only imagine how happy I was last week when I heard from Mary that I won a Tata Harper giveaway over on her blog, So Then They Say. I recieved the Nourishing Oil Cleanser and the Moisturizing Mask, two (new to me) products. I just used them for the first time today, but I will keep you posted on my thoughts!
