SPRING WISHLIST | THOUGHTS BY BRANDI.COM

SPRING WISHLIST

We just booked a spring break trip to Austin and I’m so excited because I can finally start thinking about wearing warmer clothes, spending time outside, and checking off my spring wishlist, one item at a time! I’m sure it’s obvious but winter in Chicago is long and brutal (and they say this year was mild)… especially for this Southern California transplant.

SHADES OF GREEN

I’ve found myself reaching for greens this spring and today only further inspired my shopping habits. In honor of St. Patty’s day and the newest green trends I’ve been seeing, I rounded up some of my favorite shades of green.

10 HATS FOR SPRING & SUMMER

Last week we had a sprinkle of spring… warmer temperatures with a few days of sunshine and I even had a rose bloom in our yard. I always find myself browsing for new hats around this time of year.

5 Ways to Style Golden Goose Sneakers

This pandemic has really forced me out of the store and into my own closet… spending so much time at home has motivated me to really whittle down my wardrobe to the things I love and then find new ways to style them and actually wear them, pandemic or not! I first fell in love with Golden Goose sneakers after seeing my friend and fellow blogger, Camilla, wear them. The sneakers are the perfect mom shoe and she styles…

FALL CAPSULE 2020

It’s officially the second week of fall and I’m busting into my fall capsule wardrobe… even though we’re still sweating here in San Diego, my mind is stuck in sweater mode. This past weekend, I did a giant closet edit, I Pulled out a lot of things I didn’t wear in the past three seasons and am listing those on Poshmark this week (Feels so good to purge).
Each season I like to do this so I can sort of…

NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE : MY PICKS

I debated covering this sale this year for a few reasons but mainly because let’s face it… ordering a ton of new clothes to get all dressed up to go nowhere seems a little crazy right now but… after browsing the sale, I did find a few things I added to my own wishlist so I thought I’d share with you. Now, let’s all cross our fingers that it doesn’t sell out in one minute.

Sweaters are my favorite…
