I'm LOVING emerald and mint together for the Spring. In fact, the fingers that are typing this post are mint with an emerald accent nail! As we enter March (the month of blooming flowers, the smell of grass and pinch me if I'm not wearing green St. Patrick's Day) this color combo looks fresh, appropriate and can be found everywhere in nature. Why not mix the varied shades of green for a monochromatic look that wows?

p.s. How stunning is that statement necklace?!

Happy Friday my lovelies! This week has been both exciting and exhausting at the same time. I'm gearing up to take part in some amazing projects and collaborations here at Chelsea & The City and I can't wait to share more posts with you! I hope this weekend affords you a few mid-brunch kisses and plenty of time to do something you're passionate about. This week I'm loving:

Cait Weingartner's chic and functional studio apartment on The Everygirl
the most stylish unpublished photos from Framework mag
the sweetest Orla Kiely fall collection over at Cali Vintage
Rachel Parcell's stunning Carrie moment on Pink Peonies
& these wedding invitations via 100 Layer Cake (which happen to be perfect for branding inspiration!)

Can J Crew do no wrong?! Their second round of Spring arrivals is just as fresh and creative as the first (see my picks from that launch here) and brimming with black & white pieces, updated liberty prints and about a trillion cheeky little details. Never one to disappoint, the styling of the 'looks we love' section is swoon-worthy to say the least. The makeup is flawlessly young and bright and J Crew's signature print mixing is in full swing and making me long for a store to open up near me. Check out my picks from the collection below and let me know which pieces you're coveting this time around:
