Put Some Spring In Your Step: #TuesdayShoesday

( Via: Sunny Gu )

Mr. Shop This and I went on a shoe shopping expedition this weekend. My shoe wardrobe is a bit needy for Spring. I came home barefoot and empty handed. There is so much more to see online!  With free shipping and returns, I have no problem shoe shopping from home. This season features many trends - mules, slides, jazzy sneakers, edgy platforms and more. Today we focus on the feminine look for Spring. Think fab florals, fun fringe, sensual suede and more. 

HERE: 14 Spring Shoes To Love

Soft suede and pretty little pom poms make for a fun and feminine shoe.

Saturdays At Shop This - Anticipation

{ Via: Lilly Pulitzer }

What a weather week, huh?  It's hard to believe that Monday brings the first day of Spring, but it sure sounds good. If you are like me, you love new beginnings. Each season brings a message of  hope and a blank canvas. Like singer Carly Simon, I'm filled with Anticipation....."I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways....." So let's just think positively, and surely Mother Nature will bring flowers and bluebirds this Spring.....sooner or later.

Let's begin with something for those sunny days and Spring Breaks ahead: Lilly Pulitzer's Pool Flip Flop. Leave it to Lilly to pretty up your basic pool shoe with Palm Beach Colors and a little gold glam! Affordable, too.

I hope that you enjoyed the this week's Serena and Lily Edit. The 20% off Sale is still going on through Monday. I wanted to add that the discount applies to the Sale merchandise, too!

Did you know that Bowling Shirts were a "thing?" Yep. They are making a come back. A little bit of trivia, I have been on a bowling league before! How's that for a sporty girl? My shirts weren't cool. See if you think these are at Shopbop.

Spring arrives in stripes at J. Crew. Shop a chic collection of  head to toe stripes that promise to be a fave in your Spring lineup.

Found the best jersey top at All Saints. It's long enough to cover what needs covering, and the sheer chiffon trims are ever so feminine. Looks more than the price tag reflects. I think I have to have it.

Fast, easy, and somewhat healthy. They are easy to eat on the run (no fork necessary), especially if you make them ahead of time.

Vegan Mint Matcha Shamrock Shake

A healthy take on the classic Shamrock Shake. Don't worry, it is still creamy, minty and refreshing. It's just healthier than you will find at the Golden Arches. For those who care (and we all should ) it is refined sugar free.

Minimalist Baker

A great way to cut down on salt is to mix up some fresh herbs. The minimalist marble mortar is perfect for making pesto, peanut butter, and guacamole. Your tastebuds will thank you for this purchase!

This recipe is as tasty and healthy as it is beautiful. The dressing is your pesto, which sounds divine.

Glam green. This woven runner is both glam and modern made with Chilewich's vinyl called "Terrastrand." It's 100% phthalate free and contains 25% renewable vegetable content.

Besides linens luxe enough for the master and the guest rooms, they have the kiddos covered with style, too.  The Savoy Duvet (above ) is inspired by classic architecture. I love the sleek design on sateen that makes for a lovely dash of color. It's available in ten colorways, all with a pristine white base. I love the dreamy flexibility of the Gobi sheeting. It's simply adorned with your choice of eleven stylish shades. It is just the right touch of color and pattern for a modern twist on the classic bed! As for kids, any little girl would take her bed with cherries on top! The Cherry Duvet is super sweet.

Love to entertain? You are in good company at Serena & Lily! The South Seas Bar Cart has you ready to roll with this entertaining essential.  The Riviera Bar Cart might be my fave.
