I like to refresh my makeup cabinet every season with just a few essentials (its also a good excuse to clean out old stuff), but how’s a girl to know what to buy if her head isn’t constantly submerged in the beauty world 24/7? I decided it was time I did a little research and [...]
In Seattle, spring is a tease. We have glorious days of sunshine, followed by endless days of rain. We live on the verge of that final seasonal change, waiting for mother nature to finally flip the switch. And when it happens, it’s unmistakable. The cherry blossoms come out. The people come out. Farmers markets start opening, and [...]
Quinn Cooper So beautiful! It really is timeless. I’m always a fan of blue and white pottery reminds me of my childhood.

Chloe @Ergo-Blog What a beautiful tabletop! I love the ceramic fish and the three different plates! Very beautiful! The light fixture chandelier is such a gorgeous blue! =)
Kelly of Fabulous K You can never go wrong with white flowers…especially when paired with blue!
Dru I love this! I think why it also works so well (for me at least) is that it still has a masculine touch to it. I’d totally rock this at my house (if I only had the storage capacity for versatility).
Laura Ann Daly Blue and White is my absolute favorite color scheme. I love how you’ve added the green and the fantastic pattern-play! So fun!
FripperyVintage Beautiful! Love the blue and white.
mikky The blue and white plates are really pretty. Waffles covered in strawberries and whip cream would look delicious on them!

Leah Oh my those milk glass topped green glasses are gorgeous! I love a beautiful tablescape that mixes greens and blues, especially in the spring/summer! This is truly pretty and inviting.
Franki Delish! Tablescapes are one of my favorites!! franki
Naomi (Design Manifest) I never tire of blue white. This is so pretty! I love the green glasses too.
I wish I set my table more. Instead its a dumping ground for laptop and client files 
Ashley Where did you get this light fixture?
Cassandra LaValle Post author it’s from z gallerie! i believe it’s still available too – the calais chandelier.
I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been having a bit of a spring wardrobe crisis. I realized that it’s definitely been a while since I’ve updated some of my basics, and my accessories could use a little kick as well. So, I’m really excited about hosting a spring shopping event next week at [...]
Hilary Rushford | Dean Street Society Swooning for all the texture on those dresses! Feel like I’d be that girl not so subtly petting myself all night because I loved the feeling against my hands.
with grace & gumption, Hilary
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures I want all of those dresses!
Tess S I also want all of those dresses!

Last week, I showed you some of my favorite pieces from the spring Banana Republic collection, but today, we’re taking you behind the scenes. You know. Where the magic happens… blouse // palm pants I have to say it was pretty fun to walk onto this gorgeous property in the Hollywood hills and wander through the [...]

Spring is finally here, and it’s time to go to work on the wardrobe, kids. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got big ambitions for this season. The next few months are already booked with lots of weekend trips to sunnier destinations, so it was simply serendipitous that Banana Republic and I teamed up a few [...]

Sometimes simplicity is everything you need to achieve beauty, and in this DIY we use three floral types to achieve a sensuous balance of organic and simple chic to celebrate the arrival of [...]
Quinn Cooper What a great arrangement! I love the addition of the kumquats. Brings great color and an unexpected surprise to the arrangement. This post makes me want it to be spring in NYC, we got a snowstorm last night. So jealous it is warm in Northern Cali.
Kiana Underwood Post author Thanks so much Quinn. Hopefully NYC gets into spring mode soon!
Molly {Dreams in HD} completely and utterly gorgeous!
Alyssa That’s a gorgeous arrangement. I will be trying this!

Nothing adds a bit more pep in my step than a new bag. This weekend, when I wanted to get a bit more into the mood for spring, I swapped out my usual satchel for a colorful clutch from lovebirds that instantly put a smile on my face. But, it also made me realize how I [...]
Amy I am dying to add that Lavin clutch to my collection

Tibs Beautiful clutches! The natural ones are my favourite ones!
I did some spring-ish shopping… http://www.shoptravelfood.blogspot.com/2013/03/retna-for-lv.html
Meghan Loving the one with the white print , so very stunning.
xo Meg<3
Noemi wowww…such a fabulous selection ! I do love the ‘loud’ ones )
As a designer at Saveén Store, maybe you would like any of our clutches as well !
Big kisses !
Katie O'Keefe I am loving the beaded clutches for the beach! Also, I love the simple elegance of the middle “Guest” clutch too!
Maggie Rose Waiting to buy a wedding clutch until I buy a dress, but kind of in love with that Tasha geometric one! Think I might end up with a beaded vintage one, but this might be good back up (and one of everything on the “natural” list for my honeymoon, please).
Congrats to your friend!
Kirby I am a total clutch person! My girlfrfiends just gave me a gorgeous black Clare Vivier clutch with a white stripe down the center and my soon-to-be monogram for my enagement party. I love that Anya Hindmarch clutch!!
Desiree {CHIC COASTAL LIVING} Love these bags! I would say the raffia ones are great!
life is in the details. style accordingly.
I’m loving all of this! I’m thinking I’ll rock tan skin and some blue subtle eyes for an event this weekend!
Also, love how you edited the look above!

Gorgeous makeup! Love it all put together on the last model!
Love the bright pink lip and the all natural look. So perfect for summer!
Love the way you break it down and then put it all together. Makes it super easy.
I love the bold brow look! I wish I could rock it—but with blonde hair and really light brows, it just looks too intense on me. I’ve been using Pixi’s natural brow duo from Target to make them stand out a bit but look natural, and I really like it.
I like the nude a lot! The blue eyes I don’t think I could handle.
I wear bronze polish..on my toes…all the time. Absolutely adore that blue around the eye…makes the white (minus a nite drinking) really stand out!! franki
