Spring Must Haves

The weather keeps warming up and I finally feel comfortable enough to start stocking up on bright spring essentials. My hubs and I are planning a Texas wine country weekend next month to celebrate his big 3-0 with some of our closest friends, so I'm extra motivated to refresh my closet with breezy pieces that can hold up to the heat (temps are already reaching the upper 80s so I can only imagine what it will be like a few weeks from now!)

I have my eye on perfectly worn-in destroyed denim shorts, neutral go-with-everything sandals, and light swingy dresses that will be comfortable enough in southern heat as well as paired with a thin cardi on cool evenings here in Ohio. These colorful pieces will also transition perfectly into summer!

This Weekend in Columbus

Barcelona

Saturday, 3/12

• Second Saturdays in Historic Dublin: Check out the artisan pop-up shops at Chelsea Borough Home.
• Go outside. Seriously, it's going to be a beautiful day according to the weatherman. Sunny and high 60s is pretty much perfect. I will likely be spending most of my day at the park and on one of these patios:
• Barcelona
• Lindey's
• Harvest
• Seventh Son

Sunday, 3/13

• Spring forward. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead 1 hour! We may be losing an hour of sleep but we are gaining extra daylight in the evening, which is totally worth it in my opinion.
• Not Your Mama's Craft Market at Roosevelt Coffeehouse from 10a-2p: Coffee and shopping, what else do I need to say?
• Live Music Sundays at Barcelona from 6p-8p. The Jacob Reed Trio will serenade you with jazz while you enjoy dinner/drinks.
• Shop from home. It's probably going to be rainy, so if you just want to stay in, here are some awesome online sales to shop this weekend:
• Kate Spade - Take 25% off your purchase online or in-store with code PURPOSE

• Kendra Scott - Take 15% off green items with code SPRING

• Madewell - Take extra 30% off sale items online or in-store with code SOCLOSE

• Gap - Take 40% off your purchase online or in-store with code FFSALE

Have a lovely weekend!
