Yesterday was downright frigid here in Connecticut, so Nicky Hilton's camel coat and Converse is definitely seasonally appropriate.

The star kept warm while out and about in New York while harkening to spring with her lighter wash skinny jeans and on-trend white sneakers.

You could either pull your wool coat out of hibernation to recreate this look, or update it for spring with a must-have classic trench coat instead.

All my finds are under $50, including Nicky's shoes, so I added a "splurge" handbag because it's way less that her designer bag and totally worth the investment to elevate all your outfits!

Forever 21 just launched its first bridesmaid collection with Los Angeles-based designer Rory Laurie, Pretty by Rory. The capsule ranges in price from $68-$78.

Target is having a Mother's Day sale through the 13th with all accessories and jewelry 20% off online and in-stores. (That includes the SugarFix by BaubleBar collection!)

With the new season, I know many of us are looking to change up not only our wardrobes, but our hair game, too. My friend Sydne Summer recently chopped off a few inches of her lovely locks and is sporting a long blunt-cut bob for spring - and it looks amazing! If you're feeling the itch to change up your hairstyle for spring/summer 2017, here are a few celebrity styles to inspire you.



1. Kim Kardashian is making headlines with her new blunt cut long bob. This isn't the first time the celeb has gone short with her hair, but it's definitely getting all the attention nonetheless. I think this look strikes the perfect balance between fashion forward and professional. It looks easy to style and easy to maintain, too. (Hello, flatiron!)





2. At the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet arrivals, Mary Elizabeth Winstead caught my eye with her tossled short bob hairstyle featuring soft bangs. This look has fashion-blogger-babe written all over it! It's sexy yet demure and a little bit boho/gamine. I think a texturizing spray is all you'd need to style this look for the summer months. I could be wrong, no hair expert here, but it looks relatively easy to achieve!





3. Kelly Rowland is also rocking a gorgeous shorter bob hairstyle for spring with bangs, similar to Mary Elizabeth's look above. I love the soft, slightly undone texture of her loose waves. Long bangs frame the face and keep this look super sultry. From experience, I know that achieving that undone look can actually take a lot of effort, but you should be able to maintain these bangs by blow drying with a round barrel brush and spritzing with a light hairspray for staying power. Hairstyle experts, correct me if I'm way off! But don't let that keep you from trying this cut.




Would you show any of these looks to your hairstylist for your next cut?

For today's link round up, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of great Mother's Day gift ideas starting at just $3! There might be one (or ten) items I'm hoping to get myself...

1. The Bouqs Fresh Flower Bouquet I've ordered from The Bouqs dozens of times and I've never been disappointed. They have the best prices (lots of options under $50), and beautifully simple, tasteful arrangements.

2. Ceramic Rainbow by Eloeil
I saw this rainbow pop up a couple times in my Instagram feed, and every time it made me smile. Now I kinda need it. It's delightfully imperfect, whimsical and original.

3. Mama Needs Some Coffee Mug
You guys loved when I posted this on Instagram, and it's not hard to see why! Treat mom to this fun mug and her favorite fuel.

4. Faux Leather Backpack
Every mom needs a stylish carryall. I made the switch from diaper bag to faux-leather backpack in the fall, and I'm never going back. You can carry everything you need and keep your arms free. The faux leather and streamlined design really elevate this look!

5. Porcelain Trinket Tray
This dish is adorable and functional for keeping mom's everyday jewelry safe and close at hand. And guess what you guys, Target has a near identical trinket tray in the dollar spot for just $3! I'll post the pic to my Instagram soon.

6. Thirty One Bits 'Amour' Necklace
I love dainty jewelry for everyday. Tell mom you love her with this chic necklace from Thirty One Bits, a company that gives back to great causes, too.

7. Shop Stevie Floral Top
Here's another company I discovered via Instagram and naturally now I'm obsessed. I love all their tops because they're casual yet special, like this floral peplum tee.

8. J.Crew Horseshoe Hoop Earrings
Get in on the hoop earring trend...er, or should I say, get your mom in on the trend with these minimalist hoops by J.Crew. You...I mean, SHE will wear them with everything!

9. Rifle Paper Co. Recipe Tin
Okay here's another item I totally spotted in the Target dollar bins! I think their knockoffs are $5. Whichever one you choose, moms who love to cook or bake will appreciate this lovely way to organize and store precious recipes.

10. LuMee iPhone Case
My sister bought me a LuMee case for Christmas and months later, I'm still in love and I still have not had to charge the case! I can't believe it either. It's not only great for selfies, it's also perfect for video calls to mom.

And because I'm oddly practical, what I'd also like for Mother's Day is this raincoat in olive, and this peplum tee (under $20).

Have a beautiful weekend! xxBB

Reese Witherspoon looks ready for summer in her watermelon sweater, denim skirt, and pink accessories.

I'm not going to lie, you guys are probably going to want Reese Witherspoon's exact Draper James watermelon sweater ($165) and no substitute will suffice. But, I did find this watermelon tee that comes in close second place!

Also you'll need a denim skirt, and how cute are all those pink accessories from her pumps to her purse to her sunnies? Shop all the irresistible picks below...

Did you know Amazon has its own private fashion labels? I'm putting Lark & Ro, Ella Moon, Paris Sunday and Scout + Ro on my radar.

I love the Olsen twins but had to laugh when I read Tom + Lorenzo's assessment of their recent Met Gala looks (mostly the part about the Bolsheviks).

I keep forgetting to tell you guys! You can earn triple points at Nordstrom now through May 7. Perfect time to get those Mother's Day gifts. Also, I'm eying these sandals for myself. And these denim shorts are in my cart.

Nothing beats a vintage tee and denim cutoffs for a chill summer look, and no one pulls off this warm-weather uniform quite as perfectly as Alessandra Ambrosio.

The supermodel took time to accessorize with a Gucci belt (similar), round sunglasses, espadrilles and backpack (not shown), perfect for carrying all your essentials for concerts, outdoor picnics and more.

Scoop up all the pieces needed to recreate this look with my finds under $55 below.

After wearing my Payless 'Deck' boat shoes for a couple days, I decided it was time to upgrade so I ordered this leather pair by Sperry.

My trusty tipster Julianne sent me a link to the newest Who What Wear for Target and it is so good! How cool is this beach caftan (major Tory Burch vibes)?

In case you were wondering, this is the straw bag every. single. fashion blogger is toting for summer.
