Sunny Days

I'm currently on Spring Break in Myrtle Beach visiting my boyfriend. I've been here for about three days so far and the weather has been overall really nice. Lots of sunny days. Friday we went out to lunch and then layed out by the pool. Then at night we saw the Hunger Games which was honestly incredible. I absolutely loved it. If you haven't seen it yet, you must go now! It was really good and stayed true to the book, which I really liked. Over the weekend we went to Broadway at the Beach, one of my favorite spots to walk around down here. We went to lunch and got ice cream. Yum. And today it's a little over 80 degrees out so we plan on hitting the pool or beach and enjoying the heat and sun. I love the weather here! The forecast always says there's going to be thunderstorms but those days turn out to be the hottest and most beautiful of them all. My goal is to take a ton of photos, (I never follow through on that, but I'll try) and keep you updated with all of the fun things we're doing.  Ciao!

Pop of Color

I always love seeing "Spring Essentials" posts on other blogs. (I will be posting one shortly!) This particular one caught my eye because of the bold, bright colors in every piece Liz, from the blog Sequins & Stripes, chose. Lately I've come to realize that my love of neutrals might not be such a great thing all of the time. Sometimes neutrals just wash you out and they become boring day after day. So one of my goals is to start incorporating a lot more color in my wardrobe. These essentials definitely inspired me and I'm loving every piece, especially the Rebecca Minkoff iPhone case and the striped Equipment blouse. Here's a list of everything she chose and where you can find it: Rebecca Minkoff Ostrich iPhone Case, Loeffler Randall Filippa Mignon Sandals, Noir Thin Cord Cluster Necklace, Cosabella for J.Crew Bra & Lace Thong, Equipment Striped Blouse, K. Slademade for Design Darling Clutch, Alexander Wang Aida Heels, Comme des Garcons Polka Dot Wallet

Am I Too Late?

In 2009 boyfriend jeans were all the rage. I bought a pair from Madewell that Spring and told the girl I thought they were too big on me (which they were). But she assured me that they weren't too big, that it was "just the look." Seriously I looked like a fool! Now I'm sure she just wanted the sale. It was good for her but for me it was $100 wasted on jeans that I wore maybe once for ten minutes. But lately I've been thinking about how cute boyfriend jeans were and how much I still really want a pair. Preferably ones like this chick is wearing above. A pair that's fitted but not painted on her leg. I think these are the perfect kind. Am I 3 years too late or can I still find boyfriend jeans somewhere? Help!

Top Knot

I rarely wear my hair up unless I'm just lounging around the house. I'm just not a fan of the ponytail. After watching countless Kardashian marathons over winter break, I've become obsessed with the top knot. I know I'm a little late on this one. Top knots were all over the runways last Spring and have been seen on just about every celebrity, but I can't help but feel that it's Kourtney's "thing". She prefers a perfectly polished look. I love it but I also love the undone, messy top knot as well. It's so easy and such a great alternative for everyday hairstyles.

Home Sweet Home

After a long day of delays and running through airports yesterday, I am finally home from vacation. I had a great time in panama city beach and got to see some of my family that I haven't seen in years. Now I'm back to school & rainy weather. Definitely not ideal but I'm happy to be home.

Happy Monday!

It's really starting to feel like Spring.

Spring is in the Air

Welcome to Simple Kind of Lovely. Today is the first day of spring, my favorite season, so I thought it would be the perfect time to start my first blog. Much like many other blogs, it will focus on the things that I love most, including food, design, fashion, family and friends, and anything else that inspires me, and of course sharing them with you. This is only the beginning.
