From the moment I laid eyes on this floral print romper, I knew I had to have it. It was a piece that I could see myself wearing all summer long. In fact, I wore it twice during our trip to St. Martin — once while exploring the French side of the island and the other on a day where we did nothing but lay out by the beach. It’s also 40% off today only, so whether you’re chilling poolside or grabbing pastries, I promise you, this floral fancy will not disappoint!

This week, I …
· Added a shiny new stamp to my passport with a quick getaway to St. Martin. I can’t wait to share all of our vacay photos, but you can already catch a few snaps on Instagram.
· Lived in a few easy summer pieces during our trip, including this printed romper and these little pom pom shorts. I promise you, you need them in your life!
· Love that LOFT is already celebrating summer with 40% off everything! My faves: this sleeveless chambray dress, this polka dot dress and this paisley maxi dress. Sale ends on Sunday!
· Read Fault in Our Stars while I was on vacation. It’s a tearjerker! More book recommendations please!
· Got a sneak peek of Oasis’ fall/winter collection. Um yeah, I know — I don’t even want to think about cold weather right now, but there was so much to love! Until then, I have my eye on their summer collection.
· Am loving all things nautical over at C. Wonder. Can we talk about rope necklaces number one and two? Also loving this graphic sweater, this striped tote and this darling dress.
· Made a vow to do a little more cooking following a very indulgent vacation so I’m collecting ideas over on my recipe board on Pinterest. Need to try these loaded sweet potatoes. I’d love to hear about your favorite recipes!
· Also have my eye on some new arrivals from Ann Taylor. Take 40% off your entire purchase this weekend only! I’m loving this periwinkle dress, this pom pom scarf and these snake skin heels.
· Just can’t — for the life of me — get on the bandwagon with this whole Birkenstock craze, but J.Crew, Shopbop and Net-a-Porter are all on board. And no, floral print or a metallic finish does not make it better. What do you think of the 90’s throwback trend?
· Am doing some major purge of my closet. You can reap the benefits over on my Poshmark page — everything must go!

For the longest time, I stewed over the bucket bag. I loved the idea of it — the nautical inspiration, the relaxed shape — but I never was able to commit. It was definitely uncharted waters for me and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on something I wasn’t completely sold on yet. I mean, we can’t all shell out $6,000 for a bucket bag, am I right?
It wasn’t until recently that I finally pulled the trigger on the trend and I’m in love! When done right, the bucket bag can be classic, playful and practical (it fits all my things, including my DSLR!).
So in the spirit of sharing, I rounded up my favorite bucket bags for you! Whether you go with something minimalist, bold or boho, I think we can all agree that there’s something for everybody in the mix. Happy shopping and happy weekend!
