For the next 10 days, I'll be participating in the spring 10x10 remix challenge put on by Style Bee and Unfancy! I've been wanting to try this for a while, so I'm excited to give it a go! I did a capsule wardrobe before, and I didn't love it. But this is an easy 10 days, 10 items, 10 outfits! It'll be a fun challenge to kickstart my spring wardrobe, and inspire me to get creative. The rules are... pick 10 pieces of clothing from your closet, including tops, bottoms, and shoes. Don't include accessories, outerwear, bags, PJs or gym clothes. Then for 10 days, create a new outfit each day, using your 10 items! Keep reading to see the 10 items I included... and links to everything! If you're also participating in the challenge, good luck!
Read MoreAlmost Friday! This week flew, which is great, because I'm all about starting a new month. Especially one that is fully spring! I just love starting a new month of budgeting, a new month of goals, a new month of plans and fun. It's such an exciting time of year, and there are so many good things happening. I'm just really pumped for this season. To start seeing flowers bloom. To listen to thunderstorms. I'm thrilled for it all! What are you looking forward to most this season?

Onto Tuesday! We snapped these photos while we were out and about downtown picking up takeout. My favorite Thai place is downtown — Bangkok Taste Cuisine. They have the best Kow Pad! Plus, I love their veggie spring rolls. So good! I grabbed my leather jacket to throw on top of my gray boyfriend tee and high-waisted jeans. I saw a similar outfit on Pinterest recently, and loved how casual yet cool it looked. I’m all about simplicity + casual looks, but hoping to bust out more dresses once it warms up! It was still really cold over the weekend (still some ice left, as you can see!). We’re getting there though… slowly, but surely.

It's officially spring! It's also officially still in the thirties here in Michigan. It's been so cold! It's deceiving too... because we've been getting so much sunshine. So you feel guilty staying inside doing your normal winter hibernating, but then you step outside to frigid winds! So I still busted out all of my spring things this weekend... but stayed mostly indoors. We went to a matinee, did a little plant shopping, grabbed brunch with friends, and caught up on a few things around the house. I couldn't wait though to wear my new penny loafers (obsessed!), my new summer jeans from Madewell, and my new pretty pink tote from Universal Thread!

One thing I really love and look forward to is our Sunday ritual. It feels good to end the week in a healthy routine, and to get ready for a fresh week ahead. It’s our time to grab brunch, go grocery shopping, take Winny for a long walk, relax, nap, catch up on TV shows, and cook a yummy dinner or splurge and order takeout pizza for a cozy night in. It’s such a treat after a long work week! We decided it was only fair to give Winny a special treat too – with some Pup-Peroni® Original Beef Flavor Minis, ideal for smaller dogs, which are available at Meijer! Be sure to check out their mPerk right now that’s good for 15% off any Pup-Peroni product!
Read MoreFor about a week there, we had some pretty awesome mild temps and sunshine! Now we're back to cold and snow... hello, March. While I could though, I busted out my denim jacket and chucks! I'm definitely ready for spring clothes. I'm totally fine with layers! Don't get me wrong. I just really really want to put away my bulky winter boots and fur-lined parka jackets once and for all! See ya never. BYE. Just gotta hang tight. We're so close! You just never know with March in Michigan... and technically it is still winter. So I'm just going to try and enjoy the last two weeks of it. Try being the key word here!
