I’ve been drawn to whimsical, fruit-inspired items lately. Maybe because it’s spring, it seems like a lot more clothing and home decor pieces with lemons, pineapples and more are popping up. Or, maybe I’m  paying attention to more feminine things (for me + baby )  since we discovered baby #2 is a girl. Either way, I’ve rounded up several fun and fruity pieces perfect for spring and summer!

Lots of items linked in the widget below.

Top picks

Target just launched this new line called Opalhouse filled with lots of adorable and affordable home decor pieces. It has a very bohemian vibe reminiscent of Anthropologie Home. I went to Target in-person today and things were a bit picked over, but I did get a flavor for everything and picked up this cute dish towel, bowl, and ordered a few things online like this gold trinket box. I think this pineapple lamp would look cute in an office or girl’s room (or this one) and this floor lamp might be a nice addition to a baby’s room.

I think this fruit alphabet book is just the cutest! I just bought for a friend who recently had a baby girl along with this veggie book, too. I’ll be buying for baby #2 soon. Also, I think it’s always cute to package up a baby gift that is somewhat themed. Pull together a gift filled with these swaddles, bibs, books, and these rattles and you have the perfect gift for a little baby girl! Braden had a cute little carrot rattle when he was a newborn that he loved. I’ll be scooping up this little banana and watermelon rattle for his sister.

Braden has this shirt from Zara Kids and he laughs every time I put it on him and tell him what it says. Baby Zara/Zara Kids clothing is my top store for doing shopping for Braden, and after perusing the girl clothing, I know it will continue to be a go-to for me. I mean — a fluffy pineapple or banana purse?!

When it comes to fashion for women, I think fruit prints are better when in smaller doses. But, in the right setting such as a tropical vacation, I think this little wrap dress or bikini would be perfect. I did score these  pineapple earrings two years ago on a trip to Charleston, and I just started wearing them again when spring hit.

I think this stationary is so fun. You can never have too much stationary to use for little gifts for friends, teachers, kids birthdays, etc. And, if you have any spring or summer parties coming up where a fruit tray is present, why not have these little fruit toothpicks on hand?

Loving Lately: Weekend Sale Finds

March 9, 2018

I’ve come across some really great sales online that are helping me getting into the mood for spring! I’m typically not a fan of buying maternity clothes, so I try to buy tops that are flowy and will work during and after pregnancy. One way to perk up your spring wardrobe is to pick up a few pieces of jewelry in lighter or brighter colors. This is a great way to freshen up outfits from last season and, this is my favorite part, I don’t feel like a stuffed sausage with earrings like I sometimes do with jeans while trying to grow a human. 😉 I found these light pink fringe earrings a few weeks ago and I’ve been wearing them a lot and getting tons of compliments. They’re currently on sale for 40% off (through 3/10) with the code NEWNOW at check out, making them $20. Another retailer I shop regularly is also having a 40% off sale as well through 3/12 with the code FRIENDS40. I love their shoes, so this is a great time to stock up on some spring styles like this suede block sandal, which I have in 4 colors (as seen here and here), or this nude heel with ruffle detail, which would be so cute with a spring dress for a wedding or other special occasion.

Happy shopping!
