It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

LACE MIXED MEDIA BLOUSE
This top is special. With its peplum hem, balloon sleeves, ruffle trim, and lace design it seems to somehow combine feminine, vintage, and boho vibes. The body of the top has a bit of give to it, which I appreciate. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I’m loving it with the black denim.

It’s great worn a bit more casually with regular denim too.

SPRING SHOES
I definitely needed a new pair of shoes to style spring outfits with, so I ordered this pair earlier this week and they should be arriving today!
I also popped into Nordstrom earlier this week and 3 pairs of spring shoes caught my eye.
I tried this next pair on in store. These flats were incredibly comfy, and they have great reviews. The suede is buttery soft. Below you see the taupe suede, but there are 8 different color options (including some mesh options). True to size for me.
These loafers look super expensive, but they’re actually very affordable. They are a great spring shoe, but I would wear them early fall as well for sure. Very soft, very comfy, and true to size.
These slides aren’t for me because I prefer a narrower fit and look, but I know that lots of you will love them.

COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD SPECIAL DUO
In honor of the Allure Best of Beauty Award they received, Colleen Rothschild put together this bundle with a cleansing balm and a candle. It’s perfect to gift to a loved one or yourself!
It’s a $115 Retail Value | but right now you can SAVE $30!
The Radiant Ritual Duo transforms cleansing into a nightly ritual of calm and renewal.
This set pairs our best-selling Radiant Cleansing Balm with the Nomad Candle, created to echo the same warm, comforting aroma that made the balm a fan favorite. What began as a skincare ritual now becomes a full sensory experience.
Massage the balm into skin to dissolve makeup, impurities, and the day itself, as notes of allspice, clove, and lavender set the tone for relaxation. Light the candle and let the ritual continue beyond the sink, filling your space with the same calming scent that signals it’s time to unwind.
Skin feels soft, balanced, and radiant.
Your space feels warm, grounded, and serene.
Let the day melt away.
Be honest. Doesn’t it make you want to light a candle and wash your face? 😉
And as always, if you need to replace any empties or want to try a new product, you can always use the code STMT20 for 20% OFF. Click HERE to shop everything.
Oh! I also just saw that they are running a HYDRATION HEROES special too! Some products are up to 50% OFF! I love so many of the Hydration Heroes, but it’s the Face Oil #9 that I absolutely swear by. I cannot live without it.

STYLE IT AGAIN, SHEAFFER
SHORT SLEEVE SWEATSHIRT
Okay, ladies! If you’re a loyal follower, this top will probably look familiar to you. I first found it in the fall, and I bought it in this “stone dust” color and a vibrant orange too. I’ve worn them both like crazy. They were definitely one of my most worn items of the season.
Is it flashy? No. Is it a great basic that happens to be flattering that I reach for all the time? 1,000% YES.
I loved it all fall long, but it’s going to be great for spring too!
This sweatshirt is soft, it’s cozy, and it’s cute. And while it is a sweatshirt, it is totally elevated with the slightly puffed sleeves (but they’re not aggressive at all) and the banded hem. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. And I’m not the only one that loves it, it has excellent reviews. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
It’s also available right now in navy, black, and a light yellow. I’ll be honest, it’s going to be hard for me to resist the navy.

DRAWSTRING WIDE LEG JEANS
These drawstring jeans are unlike anything I have in my closet right now, and I’m really loving the casual vibe of the drawstring and the rolled-up cuffs. When styling these jeans, I do think a top that’s more on the fitted side will be the best choice with these so you can tuck it in the top and highlight the waistband. As you can see here, I’m wearing a plain white tee, but I’ll be styling them with other fitted tops in the future. For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4.

STYLE IT AGAIN…
I love a short sleeve sweater. Always have, always will. They are the just so versatile! Great on their own all the way through spring, but also great to layer under jackets.
It comes in a “vanilla white” too, but I couldn’t resist this gorgeous “tulip red” color. It’s a tiny bit of a boxy fit, but it’s not too boxy at all. The sleeve length goes down to the elbow, which I love. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

And now I’m going to style the sweater a handful of different ways…
with regular denim…
short sleeve sweater / blingy heart earrings / multicolor charm necklace / gold bracelet stack / ankle bootcut jeans / sneakers
with black denim…
short sleeve sweater / belt / earrings / chunky necklace (option HERE) / studded belt / black jeans / similar black booties
with white denim…
short sleeve sweater / earrings / chunky necklace (option HERE) / bracelet stack / white jeans / neutral Rothy’s option
I also showed this sweatshirt earlier this month.
This striped sweatshirt is going to be a closet staple for me. It’s got an oversized slouchy fit, and I love it. This one is a creamy ivory with a navy stripe, but it also comes in a navy with a white stripe. It’s really soft and it has a little bit of stretch (which is awesome). For size reference, I’m wearing the medium. The small would definitely fit too, but I liked this fit.

And here I styled it again, not super differently… just a different necklace, lighter wash jeans, and different sneakers.
Everything I’m wearing is a great closet basic.

SOCIAL THREADS ORDER
I’m super excited about the two pieces I ordered from Social Threads just yesterday.
This blouse is the same blouse I bought in green last year and LOVED. I scooped it up in this pink as soon as I saw it! I wore my green one with denim shorts, regular denim jeans, and white denim all summer long. I ordered it in a medium. I needed the medium in the green last year because the seam is across the chest. If you don’t have a bigger chest, you might consider sizing down 1 because I definitely could have done a small otherwise (because of the blousy and swingy fit).
If I love these shorts half as much as I think I’m going to, I’ll be in good shape. 😉 They look like a respectable length (but not frumpy), and I’m happy that they’re clean with no distressing. I like them raw hem too. I ordered in a 28 and hope they are a little bit roomy.

STYLE IT AGAIN REVIEW
Last Friday I introduced 10 Darling Spring Pieces to y’all.
And then on Monday I styled 5 of those pieces several different ways.
Today I wanted to present the style it again outfits in a new way, side by side so you can really see the styling options for each of the highlighted pieces.
LACE BLOUSE
Do you want something unique and fabulous for spring? This beautiful lace blouse is for you!
Wait, even though I’m calling this a lace blouse, here’s what the site has to say: Embroidered floral cutwork adds to the breeziness of a linen-blend top that’s framed with puff sleeves and edged in a sweetly scalloped hem.
So I guess it’s “embroidered floral cutwork” and not lace. Whatever it is, it is absolutely beautiful and I’m in love. The sleeves aren’t lined, but the body is. For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size medium. I will say, it doesn’t have much give, so if you are between sizes I would suggest sizing up.

STRIPED SWEATER
Everybody loves a classic spring sweater, and this striped sweater checks all the boxes. A roll neck, a chunky stripe, a great color combo (“blue and red rugby stripe” – but in real life I think it’s a pale blue and coral), and a relaxed fit. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

TWILL UTILITY JACKET
This twill utility jacket caught my eye last week. First of all, I’m completely smitten with the color. It’s a very pretty pale pink. I’m also loving the cut and fit. It’s oversized, the sleeves are a bit blousy with tiny little pleats on the cuffs, and y’all know I’m a huge fan of the exaggerated collar. I would suggest sizing down in this one. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

LACE UP SWEATER
This lace up sweater is beautifully made and feels great on. It’s over $100, and it feels like a well-made and expensive sweater. It’s soft, it’s cozy, and it’s flattering. The fit isn’t boxy, but it’s not tight either. And it’s on the shorter side, but it’s not cropped. It’s just a perfect fit. I love the ribbed hem on the sleeves and waist. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

CHAMBRAY SHIRT
A great chambray shirt is always a staple in my closet, no matter what the season. Usually it’s just a standard button up, but this one is feminine and a little bit special. This one has a split neck, a tiny ruffled collar, and a subtle puff shoulder (also with tiny pleats). It drapes nicely and has a bit of a relaxed fit. This is the medium wash, but it also comes in a dark wash. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
