These images have inspired me to work on the least attractive room in the house — the bathroom. I found some seagrass baskets to roll up and store our clean towels. I added some long greenery to the back of the toilet and found a gold tray at a thrift store to display my milk glass collection which holds things like makeup brushes, q-tips, and bobby pins. Loving how those little details make our apartment seem more like a permanent home and less like a rental!

Hello Natalie Merrillyn readers, I am Sara from a dose of pretty!
I am so flattered to be here sharing my spring staples with you.
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year and I am really looking
forward to some flowering blooms and spring showers.
My latest acquisition is this handbag. I adore the color and the leather is exquisite.
I am a big fan of J.Crew jewelry as you can see. Some of the other items shown
For spring I am loving neon and florals, but I also can’t live without some of my neutral pieces – black leather shorts and a classic pleated skirt. The shirts (striped, gingham, chambray, and silk shirts) shown here are some of my staples that I pretty much wear all year round. I am currently
wanting to add pink and orange gingham shirts to my slow growing collection.
Lace and colored skinnies (coral, cobalt blue, and red) along with my cheetah skinnies
are another portion of my spring wardrobe. I hope to add some green colored skinnies
and a pair of floral pants soon.
Layers and more layers. A classic trench coat and its forms, sleeveless and short,
are a must along with a few other basics such as a denim jacket.
Loafers, neon yellow wedges, sequin sandals, my seen-better-days Sperrys,
and neutral flats, will be seen and worn a lot during this season. I am wanting to add
Exciting news — Matt and I will be spending six weeks starting in May living in New York City! I’ve been missing it since our last trip there, and I’m so excited to be going back to live for a short time. After New York we’ll be in Seattle for a few weeks {I’ve never been but have heard great things}. We’re excited about it, and enjoying this time in our lives where we can just pick up and move anywhere. Any tips on what to do and see while we’re in New York or Seattle?
I am obsessed with Nicole Cohen‘s artwork. The colors she chooses are incredible!
I love that her prints are only $50 a piece, I’ll definitely be adding one or two to our gallery wall collection. Check out her blog here and her apartment {one of my all-time favorite features} here {page 100}.
