Spring Cleaning

I love a reason to start fresh. There's something about Spring that puts everyone in the mood to refresh, I think. Whether it comes to your home, your style or your just your life in general, the first signs of Spring seem to bring on the urge to better whatever current state that you're in.

Organizing (and re-organzing) is something I try to stay on top of, but it's really an ongoing process. Making every day life so much easier, being organized is super important to me. Because of that, I'm constantly checking my favorite stores for cute, inexpensive ways to keep my life in order. TJMaxx and Marshalls are perfect for that stuff, I've found that they have the biggest selection of high-quality merchandise and décor. I recently did some Spring cleaning around my house, in my kitchen and my bedroom, using some fun things I found at both TJMaxx and Marshalls, so I wanted to show you what I did with some Before and After pictures.

In The Kitchen / There's three of us living here and groceries overflow easily. To be able to utilize the space above our fridge, I found these wire baskets at TJMaxx which are perfect for organizing food and drinks in the kitchen. I used them to store things that we have a lot of and use regularly, like fruit, different types of pasta and bottled water.

Before

Our coffee set up was looking a little sad too (as you can see above), so I used another one wire basket to organize the area and create a full coffee station. The basket now holds different types of coffee, tea and other accessories.

After

In My Bedroom / I was really in to black and gold this winter, but with all of the cold weather I needed to warm things up a bit. A simple switch of pillows on your bed is an easy way to give your bedroom a quick, Spring make-over.

Before

Light gray and beige pillows were a good way to brighten up the space but still keep it looking neutral. I also found a white, wood night stand to lighten things up for Spring. I really wanted something with a drawer as well, so this one from TJMaxx was perfect.

After

Isn't it fun how the littles details can make for the biggest change? I was so happy to partner up with TJMaxx and Marshalls to share this post with you guys because I literally shop there all the time and love sharing my great finds with you (make sure you're following on Instagram for more). If you've been thinking about reorganizing a space in your home, head to one of their stores and see what you can find. I know you'll find that there's so much cute stuff to help you with your Spring Cleaning too. Just visit TJMaxx.com and MarshallsOnline.com to find the nearest location to you and Happy Shopping! :)

A Spring Trend Video

If you remember, I spent a day in a New York studio not too long ago, where I spent the day shooting a video with Marshalls. I shared on camera one of my favorite spring trends, why I'm loving it so much and how to wear it, of course. And now, I am finally able to reveal the spring trend video that I made that day. But first...some fun, behind the scenes photos of what went on off camera and what it took to make this video happen. There was a hair and make-up team, a videography crew, a media team, a stylist and her team (and her adorable puppy), five bloggers and a lot of clothes!

Neutral Accessorizing

Shoes & Bag c/o Marshalls

This marks my last trend post with Marshalls, and I have to say I am a bit sad! I've had so much fun sharing with you all of the spring trends that Marshalls has to offer, but my favorite part has been sharing my best finds with you. Shopping at Marshalls is like a treasure hunt. I've come home with a lot of new treasures this season and you guys make me feel like I just have a million friends to gab about it with, so thank you for that! This is my favorite trend of them all. Marshalls, GLAM and I even made a video about it, which I will share in a future post!

Neutrals are such a timeless trend so I always make sure to keep my wardrobe stocked with them. I love to mix and match different textures and shades. And, the great thing about a blush shoe is they keep your legs looking long! When you're a whopping five foot two, the longer they look, the better! Instead of pointing out where my legs end, they blend in and give me the illusion of a few extra inches. I guess, that huge wedge helps a bit too, right? Speaking of that wedge, do you appreciate that curve as much as I do? I don't even know what that is called, but it's definitely something special.

So, thanks for following along my Fab Found at Marshalls journey. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have!

A Woven Blouse

Question: What's something that you can never have enough of in your closet?
Answer: A woven blouse.

Blouse c/o Marshalls

For my fifth installment with Marshalls, I'm sharing another (favorite) spring wardrobe staple, woven blouses! Marshalls always has such a huge selection of blouses that it's never been a problem for me to run short, so that's why I always make sure to pick up one or two (at least) when I go. This colorblocked, designer steal has easily become one of my all-time favorite blouses from Marshalls. You don't even want to know the amazing deal I got because you may dislike me a bit for it - It was that good. A great blouse and your best pair of jeans is the perfect outfit for almost any occasion, but there is still so much more you can do when it comes to styliing your blouses. I love to layer mine over dresses, tuck them in to high-waisted skirts or wear them unbuttoned as a fun bathing suit cover up in the summer.

What's your favorite way to style your woven blouses?

A Sequined Dress

Dress c/o Marshalls

And, it's finally dress season! So, for my fourth installment with Marshalls we are talking springtime dresses that you can find at Marshalls. I told you the dress department was my favorite department to check whenever I pop into Marshalls. It's like a treasure hunt where you find those gems (Definition please! Gem of a dress: One of your favorite brands, in your size, at a grossly, low price). It truly makes me giddy inside. It's the little things in life, right? Speaking of gems - I found some great sequined dresses during my research, like this one. Don't you just love? Side bar: I like to call my shopping research, it makes me feel justified and important for doing it! :)

Some other hot dress trends to look for this season, to name a few, are lace, florals and prints. I like to think of this dress as a collaboration of the best of spring - neutrals, prints, and sequins all in one. It's loose fit keeps things a little more casual, so I decided to pair it with a denim jacket for a daytime look. Truth: I have nothing against wearing sequins while it's still light out! But, if I wanted to dress it up a bit, I would have gone for a sleek, black blazer and some sexy, strappy heels. I'm going out tonight and I think that might be what I'm wearing! Happy Friday xx
