Happy Monday, friends! We split our weekend between the volleyball courts and glued to the TV, absolutely dumbfounded and devastated by what’s happening in Ukraine. The images and stories are heartbreaking, but the strength and resolve of the Ukrainian people is beyond inspiring.
It’s incomprehensible that this is happening in this day and age, and it’s definitely stirring up hard feelings and anxieties. And this is after the last two years of hard feelings and anxieties! It definitely feels like a heavy load, but we’ll continue to do what we know how… pray, speak out, and look for ways to give.
In times like these I feel guilty about going on with my daily life, and honestly, it’s sometimes hard balancing the weight of big global issues with my work here. But at the end of the day, it’s my job to provide inspiration and hopefully a few moments of joy, plus bring you the cutest new arrivals and styles.
So today we’re talking spring florals, and I hope they make you as happy as they did me!
Special occasion dresses have been one of your biggest requests, and I hit the jackpot on the prettiest Spring florals at Zappos! We’ve known them as the shoe Mecca for years, but did you know they also have a huge selection of incredible fashion finds, as well? With just about every brand and budget you can imagine, from Tory Burch and Lilly Pulitzer to Draper James and Kate Spade.

These floaty tiers of chiffon are party perfection! I love the colors and watercolor print, and the ties help to give it a custom fit.

I paired it with my favorite stick-on push-up bra for a strapless and backless fit. Zappos has it for the best price around! As for the heels, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable party shoe. You can actually stand and dance in these for hours, and the style and color go with just about everything.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress and the sandals are true-to-size.

This pretty Draper James midi has a faux-wrap style, with lots of feminine touches. I love the flutter sleeves and hem, and the smocking at the waist makes it extra comfortable. And did I mention it’s $50 off retail?!

Who knew you could find Lilly Pulitzer at Zappos?! (I’ve already added this bag to my cart!) This tent dress has a flowy fit in a statement-making pattern. Dress it up with heels and big earrings, or keep it casual with flat sandals and a straw hat.

Love the long sleeve short dress!! It looks great with the shoes you modeled and it is so cute on you!!!
Well gosh thank you so much Laina! What a nice way to start my week! <3
Hi Cassie. Love the dresses and especially the braided sandals. Are you wearing the Cream or the Cafe Stella? Thanks!!
Hi Jen! They are the “Cafe Stella” colorway!! xo, C
I love the way you handle sensitive topics and world events. What is going on in Ukraine is so sad. I completely agree that is hard to comprehend that this can happen in this day and age. I keep praying for their President’s wife. I can’t quit thinking about what she must be feeling – profound pride and extreme fear for her family. But thanks for always providing a bright spot and a brief “escape.”
Oh Julee, thank you so much for saying that <3 And yes, the President's wife has definitely been in my thoughts and prayers... what an impossible situation. xoxo, Cassie
Praying for your sweet girl as she returns to school tomorrow. May God wrap her in his living arms.
Thank you so so much, Pam <3
