Sunshine. It makes me sooo incredibly happy. Last Tuesday was the first (and only) amazing day we have had yet this spring, and I spent literally every second I could outside. There's something about the sun that just warms me from the inside out and makes me feel so content. It's about time my sunglasses got some use. I feel like they've been in storage for the past 6 months.

 Let's talk clothes. I have officially jumped on the boyfriend jean bandwagon and am so excited to start wearing these babies everywhere. Gap's spring pieces are stop on, at least I think so since I'm wearing it head to toe here. Sometimes I think Gap gets a bad rap, but they have never ever let me down. I like to call Gap my staple store as I always seem to get my best, simple, most worn pieces there. Unfortunately, their boyfriend jeans are currently sold out, but I've selected some of my other favorites below.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today"... Couldn't be more of a true statement. I bought this cuff from the local Rowe Boutique a couple months ago, and I wear it to remind myself this on a daily basis. The past is the past - never over analyze, over-think, or worry too much about it, because if you do, your life will pass right before your eyes. Learn from it and move on. Use it to create and build your future. That's what were all so focused on anyways, isn't it? We are all in a constant state of trying to better ourselves, our lives, over-achieving, and thinking of what our five year and ten year plans are, where we want to live next, what our next job will be, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes, we're so busy we forget to sit still and enjoy the present. That's my goal for this weekend. I'm going to stop worrying about what happened yesterday, what tomorrow will bring, and just be present and enjoy it.

Style File: Bucket Bags

images via 1/2/3/4/5/6/7

I'm absolutely in love with the bucket bag trend that has been going on these past couple months. I think it all started with the iconic Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. I mean, it doesn't get more perfect than this bag, does it? I'm also loving this Shinola version, which is a more budget friendly option. Some of my other favorite picks are below - some as low as $30!
