Has anyone else seen the buzz about L.L. Bean Signature and Lands End Canvas? Interesting that they seemed to surface at about the same time, no? I like the look and styling of both lines, as well as the price point. Here are a few of my favorites:

From Canvas:

And from L.L. Bean:

…Rachel McAdams, for her stunning Elie Saab Haute Couture dress and fresh, pink-y makeup. Who wore your favorite Oscar look?

P.S. Honorable mentions go to Kristen Stewart, Anna Kendrick, and Cameron Diaz!

I pushed the season a bit by wearing a dress with tights + flats last week to work. Ever since, I’ve been dreaming of spring for real, when I can wear a colorful dress every day if I’d like! Loving these pieces from Old Navy, all available for under $30 (and some for just $15!). Clearly at that price they’re not built to last, but I like to have a few dresses in my arsenal that aren’t too precious (perfect for the salt and sand of the beach!).

Which is your favorite? I think mine is the kelly green striped number, but it’s a close call.

Isn’t this ring beautiful? Simple and classic, but with a twist — I love how thin the metal is. It’s made by a company called Bario-Neal. And bonus! All of their jewelry is handcrafted in Philadelphia with reclaimed precious metals; ethically-sourced stones; and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices. Reminds me of our little friend from last week!
