Spring 2017 Favorites

April 3, 2017 by DetroitDuchess 8 Comments

After being sick most of winter, I am BEYOND ready for spring. Let’s get some fresh air in here and add a pop of color to our life! Here are my favorite things for spring.

Christian Siriano Kadence Slingback ($17.99)

I love getting a fun spring shoe. The only rule is that it must be colorful!

OPI Two Timing the Zones ($12.50)

I was pumped that OPI did a Fiji Collection for spring. Fiji is still on my bucket list and wearing these colors will make me think about it every time!

Lilly Pulitzer Short Sloane Dress ($178)

I love Lilly for spring! Every girl needs a go to sundress for the season and this is perfect.

Bath & Body Works Happy Easter – Sugared Candy Bunny Candle ($12.50)

I love a candle and this one combines Easter and vanilla and cinnamon. It would make your house smell great during Easter dinner.

Calvin Klein Saffiano Satchel ($228)

I walked by this bag in the store and LOVED it. I would carry this every day this season!

Yes to Shower Cocktail Body Wash ($5.99)

This body wash is in a cocktail shaker – how fun is that? There are three different versions for revitalizing, hydrating, and detoxifying.

Connected Floral-Print Faux-Wrap Dress ($54.99)

This is my pick for an Easter dress this year. I love that it is navy and combines florals.

Christian Siriano Marilyn Crossbody ($14.99)

I like to get a spring clutch every year which is a great addition to any plain colored outfit. You can grab it on the way out the door and instantly have a new look.

Make Lemonade Kitchen Towel ($10)

OMG I love this Kate Spade lemon series! I want to deck out the kitchen and dining room with them! The apron, tablecloth and placemats are just too cute! Honey if you’re reading this these would make awesome anniversary/birthday presents.

Tulle Ball Skirt ($198)

YES, YES, and YES.

Lilly Crystal Earrings ($58)

I needed to add an accessory to this list and I just love these earrings for all of the fun spring clothes!

Vince Camuto High/Low Top ($79)

I thought this was a great transition piece for spring because you could still pair it with leggings and booties or summer it up depending on the weather.

What are your Spring favorites this year?

I still love my previous lists which you can view here: Spring 2016, Spring 2015 and Spring 2014.

Five on Friday: Water Bottles

February 24, 2017 by DetroitDuchess 6 Comments

One of my goals this year was to drink more water. I know, I know, that was my goal last year. But last year I didn’t have any of these adorable water bottles which makes all the difference! I do find that not being able to see how much water I have left does make me drink more as weird as it sounds. If you’ve seen any cute ones let me know so I can add them to my collection!

1. NAMA STAY OUT LATE ($19.50)

This one started it all! I bought this at Bath & Body Works and was in love at first sight. They have other ones too (which I may also have to go back and get) but I couldn’t leave without this one.

2. This Might Be Wine ($21)

I was served this adorable water bottle in an Instagram ad and had to make it mine. LivLuvShop has really cute stuff and I’m sure I’ll be ordering again in the future.

3. Lilly Pulitzer for Starbucks

I called a number of stores trying to get one of these limited edition water bottles, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. These will be available online on February 28, so be prepared. There are four different fun designs.

4. Sip Happens ($9.98)

LOVE the colors and the saying on this one and it’s a great price.

5. Monogrammed ($34.99)

These are just pretty and fun! I would love to have a personalized one!

Which ones are your favorites?

5 on Friday: I Love My Husband Edition

January 17, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 4 Comments

It’s time for another edition of Five on Friday with A Liz Adventures, The Good Life Blog, Hello Happiness and Carolina Charm.

So, I stayed up super late to finish this and for some reason the internet disconnected and none of it saved, ugh! So you, lovely readers, are getting the second version of my Five on Friday, hopefully it is still just as good as the first one. 🙂

1. I Love My Husband T-Shirt ($24.99)

I am loving my Wife After God 30-Day Devotional. My husband loves it to because of all the extra attention he is getting. Both of us have had very busy weeks and it is so awesome to have a reminder to pay extra attention to your marriage. If you are interested in joining me in the devotional, check out my post here. The Unveiled Wife (the woman behind Wife After God) also promotes these great shirts, which I think is the perfect purchase after I finish my 30 days.

2. Kate Spade Kick Up Your Heels iPhone Case ($35.99)

For Christmas, my husband got me a new iPhone 5s (see point 1, lol) and I got the perfect phone case to celebrate getting back in heels.

3. Lilly Pullitzer Tusk in Sun iPad Case

My husband won his fantasy football league and he decided to treat himself to a new iPad with his winnings. After he got his new toy, he gave me his old iPad and I am really excited to have it! (See back to point 1, the hubby is awesome!) I have been eyeing this elephant case with the keyboard – it is so cute! The case is sold out, but you can still find them here on eBay.

4. Good Friends & Good Wine Tray ($29.95)

I am collecting items for my Sip Happens Party next weekend and came across this adorable wine tray from Pier 1 Imports.

5. Cranky Pants ($30)

So after staying up late to work on this and then having to redo it, I almost changed this post to the Cranky Pants edition, so I had to add these. I thought this were hilarious and have to get them!

What are your favorites this week?

Style Soiree: Lilly Pulitzer

June 12, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

Today I am linking up for a Lilly Pulitzer Style Soiree with Sheaffer @ Pinterest Told Me To, Carmel @ Our Fifth House, Camila @ Effortless Style, Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof and Heather @ Southern State of Mind

The topic for today’s Style Soiree was to get inspired by Lilly Pulitzer. I don’t own any Lilly Pulitzer pieces and I thought it was time to change that. After looking around online I found some adorable pieces and decided to create a few outfits with white pants that I could wear this summer and on my upcoming New York trip.

I’ve wanted a pair of white pants for a long time now. I haven’t found the perfect pair yet, but I hope to by the end of the month. In the meantime these Lilly tops would go great with white pants for a casual summer look:

Nadel Top ($68) – I envision all gold accessories with this and gold sandals. This would be great for an outdoor party, sailing or dinner al fresco:

Carlina Top ($76.80) – I LOVE the scalloped edges on this one, plus mint/turquoise is a hot trend right now:

Carlina Top

Terrace Sweater ($76.80) – I usually stay away from horizontal stripes because I think they make you look bigger, but these are on an angle and would be flattering on any body type:

I also found some adorable must have accessories:

Who knew Lilly Pulitzer was so into elephants? My husband and I love elephants so I couldn’t resist this Spring Fling clutch with an elephant clasp ($128):

Need some on-the-go flower power? You can try this mobile charger for your iPhone ($28). I have been wanting one of these for a long time and this print is adorable. This will be perfect for all my summer traveling!

I’ve never been a big scarf person, but I am loving the ombre look and this dip dyed Riley Scarf ($78) caught my eye. I would probably just wear it with a white shirt and jeans or a pair of white pants or colored jeans.
