Good morning, loves! Lately I've been swooning over all things sugary sweet. Care for a macaron anyone? Yeah, I'm talking about all of those pastel shades of deliciousness.
And I'm in desperate need of some lightening up. We'll be heading on down to New Orleans in less than two weeks to celebrate Js birthday and I'm trying to quickly springize {is that word?} my wardrobe.
I picked up a few items recently but I need to squeeze in a bit more shopping time before my trip.
And in the meantime, my nails will be painted Mint Candy Apple, my go to, I'm anxiously awaiting spring's arrival, nail color.
Enjoy the day, sweets!
xoxo

Good morning! I had some macaros last week, they were so good! We don't have a La Duree in Amsterdam, so it was such a treat! xoxo
The pastels are so lovely, and am I understanding correctly these are the items you've already bought? They are so cute. Those earrings especially. Hope you can find time to shop some more! It would give an extra good feeling when heading to New Orleans :)
Love this colours;) Spring <3
Your pastel purchases are so many different levels of perfect! Now I feel like going pastel shopping too! <3

Yes yes to spring pastels and sugar! I bet you look gorgeous in yellow. Love brunettes in yellow. It's one color I can't really pull off but I admire it on Logan! xo
I would definitely go for something minty. A dress would be lovely, but that beautiful nail polish will work too. A trip in spring sounds more than perfect. :)

Dawn, this post is definitely very Spring like and just fabulous! Love the Essie nail colour xx
La Duree! I went to Paris and bought one maracron from there just to say I did ;) And your nail colour is the colour I picked up some lingerie in today...just because its almost spring! Happy Tuesday!
That's a great pleated skirt - great cut! Essie has the best pale colors and this mint color is one I need to look for. New Orleans is so fun! Sounds like a wonderful getaway :)
Thanks for your comment yesterday! Would be fun to compare product ingredient notes!

Dawn, LOVE all your pastel purchases!! So very pretty ... I have been craving painting my nails in a similar color but I have to use OPI or Butter because I have to find something formaldehyde free (sensitive girl!) ... I hope they have something in exactly that shade because I'm in love with it and it's my favorite color! Thanks so much for stopping by, Dawn ... your sweet support is so appreciated! xoSM

Oh I am totally daydreaming today of Paris and pastels to lighten the mood. I am in need of some lightening up in more than one way! I love Mint Candy Apple - maybe that would help a bit, at least then I would see the mint green on my nails to make me smile as I am busy at work! Hope you are having a fabulous day!
Much love,

Love Mint Candy Apple! Just bought some new spring nail polishes yesterday :)
Oh my sweet sweet goodness! You've got me lusting after paste pretties now! Eeek!
I picked up loads of Essie Pastel shades last summer... still keeping me going!

Have fun in New Orleans! Kind of wish I didn't go during Mardi Gras :(
that mint colored dress is all kinds of pretty!
I am LOVING pastels! Which is hysterical, because I am not usually one for the precious things.... but right now, I could dress like an Easter egg and be happy!
That skirt is absolutely the perfect mix of everything I'm loving for spring!!! Pastel, pleats, and a fabulous hemline! Love it!
laduree, essie and pastels! what else better for the summer?

I LOVE pastels - but find them hard to wear. But I bet they'll be perfect for New Orleans spring weather. xoxo
Loving all the pastels. And of course I'm a sucker for the season's mint--I had my polish on for the past few weeks until I finally changed up for my b-day.

Macaroon colors for the nails, xes - that sounds like fun! I wish you great success with your shopping - so much coor everywhere now!
This is the perfect post for Spring inspiration! I have always been drawn to minty greens and seafoam blues, so this season's trendy colors are really making me yearn to do some serious shopping! I love that beautiful yellow skirt purchase. How fun that you are going to New Orleans to celebrate his birthday - I've always thought it would be so fun to go but I've never been!

Spring...that would be so nice! We just got more snow darn it...
Thanks for the happy photos.
Hi Dawn,
I really needed this post today for a pick-me-up, so thank you : ) I would love a macaroon right now. They are almost too pretty to eat.
The thing about Spring that I love the most are the pastels. Pink is my color! I love the clutch you got, along with everything else. The whole palate is so soft and romantic. Did I mention I'm lusting after that nail color too?! Hope you find more goodies for your upcoming trip. So far so good!
Happy Tuesday!

I LOOOOOVE that minty colored dress! I originally saw it on pinterest and clicked on it and was led here, and I was EXREMELY disappointed to find out that y'all weren't the people who made the dress! Do you know where I could buy it! Thanks!
