April’s Top Ten

Happy May first! Today marks the start of my favorite time of year. May-August are my favorite months and my summer break will be here before I know it! There is nothing I love more than shorts and sundress weather!

Today I am sharing the top ten selling items from the month of March. Many of the top sellers were pieces I took on vacation with me that are perfect for a getaway or the upcoming months! Check out the most popular items below!

10. Peplum Tee

So nice, I bought it twice! I love this under $35 peplum tee so much that I picked it up in two colors! It’s definitely oversized, I sized down and am wearing an XS here! It’s such a comfy piece and is easy to layer!

9. Wrap Around Espadrille

These wrap around espadrilles come in 5 colors and are under $100! I love the neutral color…they will go with everything this spring and summer!

8. Eyelet Smock Top

This sweet little eyelet top made the list last month and it’s no surprise it’s a top seller again for April! It’s under $50 and also comes in black! It’s such a sweet spring piece!

 

7. Tie Front Mini Dress

I’ve been yellow obsessed lately so I had to pick up this linen dress for my trip to Mexico! The quality is amazing for the under $50 price tag! It also comes in a pretty coral and a fun polka dot print!

 

6. Wide Leg Cropped Pants

I shared these pants on the blog last week. I’ve worn them on vacation and in the classroom. I love a piece that is comfy and versatile! What’s even better? That they are on sale for $30!

5. Pink Bandana

I am loving tying bandana’s in my hair lately, and this pink printed option is so cute! I’ve found so many fun ways to style this cutie, from tying my hair up with it to adding it to a bag for a fun pop of color!

4. Denim Cutoffs

Another repeat from last month! These shorts are spendy, but definitely worth the splurge! The fit is amazing and I love that they are slightly longer in the back for full booty coverage! The leg is also a little wider, making them SO flattering on! I don’t know about you, but there is nothing that I love more than when I find a great pair of denim shorts! I will be wearing these all spring and summer long!

 

3. Brixton ‘Joanna’ Straw Hat 

This hat is HANDS DOWN my favorite! I’ve had it for 3 years and wear it all the time in the spring and summer! It’s even done some traveling with me and has held it’s shape after being stuffed in my suitcase! I’m considering picking up a backup option because I see this hat being one of my closet staples for a long time to come!

2. White Slide Sandals

When I started seeing these sandals pop up everywhere, I knew I needed them! I love that while they look like a much pricier designer pair, they are actually under $100. They are very comfortable and a great shoe for traveling to the beach as they go with everything and are easy to slide on and off. They come in a bunch of colors too, but I love the pop of white for spring and summer!

 

1. Oh Hey Vacay Tee

Who doesn’t love a graphic tee? This one is SO FUN for vacation and currently on sale for just $7! I took this to Mexico with me and it was the top seller for the month of April. A cutie saying paired with an under $20 price tag? SOLD! Check out all of the other cute tees here!

Get the Look

The first official day of spring is just a few weeks away and I could not be more ready for it! I am beyond ready to put my coats and scarves away and pull out my mini dresses and sandals! I’ve recently been adding spring pieces to my wardrobe that will be perfect for the warmer months. I’ve been on the hunt for lightweight dresses and tops in pastels and neutrals and fresh denim for the new season. At the very top of my list? A great pair of espadrille platforms/wedges….my favorite spring and summer shoe!

One thing I love about a great pair of espadrilles is that I can easily take them from work to the weekend. I find espadrille wedges and platforms much more comfortable than a typical heel or wedge and LOVE them for teaching! When I set out to look for a new pair for the upcoming season, I headed straight for the Halogen section at Nordstrom. Halogen, an brand exclusive to Nordstrom, is known for it’s high quality but affordable work to weekend styles that are on trend and the perfect mix of modern and feminine. The moment I laid eyes on these platform espadrille sandals, I knew they would be the perfect spring update to my shoe collection!

This Halogen espadrille wedge is SO comfortable and I love the price point! At under $100, these cuties are comparable to a much pricier option, allowing you to get the look for less. They come in 4 great colors, but I opted for the blush, finding it the perfect shade for spring! These shoes are not only comfortable and affordable, but also super versatile. Dress them up for work or a wedding or dress them down for a lunch date and shopping with the girls!

If you are loving espadrille wedges and platforms as much as I am, check some more options I am currently loving from Nordstrom!
