Happy Saturday! Sending all the spring vibes your way and sharing a few things I’m loving lately! :)
1 – BOOK VASES
It’s tulip season and I was so excited to pull out these fun book vases I bought last year! They look cute side by side on a book case or layered like this on any table/counter. These are real tulips above but I linked these faux tulips as a fun option too. I ordered them and they are beautiful! I’ll share how I’m using them soon.
This little secret garden book vase is another favorite we’ve had for years. The Secret Garden was my favorite book growing up. :)
Another pretty book vase option! This is such a fun way to give flowers to a friend/loved one too.. inside a book vase they can keep and always use!
2 – LANDING SPOT

It’s Addison’s college Spring Break starting tomorrow (YEA!) so I took the tulips up to her room to welcome her home.
{upholstered bed/waves comforter/natural bench (similar)/similar pom throw/rug/stripe pillows are older from S & L – they have a fun sale going on!}
I love the way they look on a nightstand next to a lamp!

While I was up in her bedroom I saw this cute book planter in her closet that I forgot we also have!
It has a larger square opening so I usually set a little plant inside. So many cute book vase options! (I linked them all here with a few other favorites.) Perfect for someone who loves to read. :)
3 – EASTER TABLE CANDLES
I started working on my Easter table this week and ordered these adorable bunny candle holders. They are the sweetest and so are the carrot candles! I’m not using the carrot candles on this table (going with soft pinks this year!) but love them for a kids’ table or a table with bright colors. I might do a fun arrangement with them in my kitchen.
This is how they look in the bunny candle holders. So fun.
These are two other candle options I ordered to try on this table! Love them both. This cake stand and candle have such a pretty scallop edge just like the bowl and tray I used in my spring bathroom.
These glass bunnies are also beautiful and come in pink, purple and green.
4 – SWIMSUITS
Swim season is right around the corner and these two suits stole my heart! I love this style of swim top and have several already because I like having my shoulders covered when I’m at the beach or pool for hours. I have fair skin so tanning isn’t an option for me plus I don’t need any extra freckles or wrinkles. I’m pretty set on both. ;) Robbin Piccone is my favorite brand for bikinis/swim suits. They are a little on the pricey side but they are flattering, good quality and they have great coverage. Three things I’m looking for at this stage of life when it comes to suits!
Swim Top/ Coverup Skirt / Stipe Bag
This cute stripe bag was a favorite last year and this little skirt is my most worn coverup. I can’t wait to pull out all the beach bags! We aren’t quite there yet but with the time change happening this weekend it’s nice to know it’s coming!
BEFORE
If your swim suits and cover-ups are a hot mess like mine were last year try organizing them like this..
AFTER / SWIMSUIT ORGANIZATION
SO much better right!? I’ve had this drawer organized like this for a year now and can honestly say that I absolutely LOVE it. It is easy to keep things organized and I can quickly see where all of my suits are if I’m getting ready in a hurry. It makes packing a breeze too!
{mini clear bag small bags – I bought this same bag in the 2 sizes listed above}
These are the sizes of clear bags I used, but honestly I don’t think the size matters as long as you can fit them in your drawer. One tip that worked for me was having my swimsuit bags a little smaller than my cover-up bags.
5 – GREEN SWEATS
Ok.. since green is clearly superior in my mind (and you all know that by now) I think it’s pretty clear why I love this set of sweats! Obviously cute (love the white stripe!) but they are also incredibly comfortable. The only down side (for me anyway) is the pants are too long. I’m going to try washing/drying this set this weekend to see if the pants will shrink up a little so that I’m not tripping on them. *I’m almost 5’4 and wearing xs in both top and bottom. They are both a baggy fit! If you are in-between sizes on pants go down to the smaller size.
6 – PHONE CASE
Ok.. last favorite before I sign off! I’m so excited about my cute new phone case! A friend of mine has this case and when I saw it at lunch I fell hard and told her to send me the link. It looks classy and I love the gold ring holder. But the best part?
The wallet inside! I love that now I have my most used credit cards and driver’s licence with me everywhere I go. I can just grab my keys and phone and head out the door!
It’s the little things right?
I hope you have the best weekend! I’m about 80% done with about 15 projects right now so my goal is just to finish SOMETHING around here. Ha. I think I better wear my green sweats for good luck. Going to need it!
:)
Erin, I always look forward to your emails. I get the best ideas from them, and I have used so many of them in my lifel Thank you for all that you do to keep me organized with a lot of convenience as well. Your suggestions are not only practical, but affordable too.
Cheryl you made my day! Thank you! So happy to hear that you use/love things I have suggested. So kind of you to let me know! xo
Erin,
I HAVE to get the phone case! OHMYGOSH, I have been looking for a ‘folio case’ that fits the newer phones. I have to upgrade my iPhone before much longer, it’s not taking all the updates with all the stuff I have in it (have to have a ‘deleting party’ in order to accomplish an update) and I was pre-mourning the loss of my trusty folio case! I love the thing! Folio cases apparently are a thing of the past and I say “bring um back on!”
Love the tulips. Love the book vases, LOVE the swimsuits! Do they run large or small?
My motto right now, as well, “JUST FINISH SOMETHING!”
Yes! JUST FINISH SOMETHING has been running though my head all week! Ha. Thank you so much Sherri! Swimsuits run pretty true to size which is strange for suits! I usually have to size up in swimwear but in this brand I’m always xs on top and small on bottom which is my typical pant/top size. Hope you have had a good week! xo
