Battling Monday: First Edition

It's Monday. Why are Monday's so hard? Maybe it is because I spent the last two days waking up a little later and planning my days around maximum sun exposure. That being said, Mondays are inevitable. But I have just the mental toolkit to help you endure it.

Need the full week to find a way to incorporate these trends into your wardrobe?

You've bought yourself time: it's only Monday! Both high-waisted wrap skirts and tasteful cropped tops are being recruited heavily for the Spring/Summer wardrobe. They look fantastic paired together! 

Let me know if you need help finding the perfect piece! 

For the Music Maniacs:

My personal favorites are Lumineers Radio, Mumford & Sons Radio (the two are similar), Beyonce Radio,  and Third Eye Blind Radio. 

Or...just listen to this:

For those with Home Decor on the brain:

Allow yourselves to be inspired by what you see today. If I didn't have visual inspiration, I would be lost. Oh wait, my house still isn't decorated...but I can show you what sorts of images inspire me!

Don't you love the clean look of neutrals? I sure do, but that's probably because I still live in fear of color incorporation. That being said, I am attracted this color scheme:
