Mandy Moore accessorized her effortlessly casual look with a Gucci 'Soho Disco' bag as she makes her way through LAX.

Clearly the 'This Is Us' actress follows the top fashion bloggers because this is the off-duty look everyone is sporting lately: A casual sweater, relaxed fit crop jeans, It bag (preferably Gucci) and sneakers.



To get the look for less, head to GiGi New York - their leather 'Madison' crossbody bag is a great Gucci dupe that comes in 7 gorgeous colors, plus it's a timeless style you'll carry for years. And right now they're offering free shipping, free personalization and a free mini foldover wallet in honor of today's blizzard! Snow days are the best days.

This weekend I stopped by T.J.Maxx to scout of the new spring trends. When my friends at T.J.Maxx found out, they sent me a little giftcard to help with the hunt. What I loved most was the mix of spring brights and soft neutrals, which you can wear separately or mix and match.

In the handbag department there was an entire aisle dedicated to pink, from blush to flamingo. Over in women's clothing, I noticed a ton of spring break essentials like boho coverups and swimsuits. I'm not heading to any beachy resort anytime soon, so I moseyed on down to the misses section (okay, juniors) where I felt more in my element with essential distressed denim, updated basics and mom-iform must-haves like denim jackets.

In footwear, my heart skipped a beat when I spotted some tan patent loafers under $40, and some dusty pink sneakers under $20! Also loving the block heel trend which you can wear with shorts or dresses, and the nude sandal trend for that leg-lengthening effect.

And let's not forget accessories: T.J.Maxx has some super on-trend tassel earrings (seeing these all over Instagram), the latest sunglasses (which are either retro or futuristic) and even athleisure finds like sporty baseball caps in crushed velvet. I'm still building my spring wardrobe checklist so this was just a recon mission...as I hone in on what I really need and want I'll be heading back.

Check out all my photos below (I try not to photograph anything over $40 with the exception of some handbags, I think the scalloped pink one was $79.99) What's catching your eye for spring? Anything specific you want me to hunt down? Let me know in the comments!

Spring is a key moment for cleaning out clutter and getting organized. My small home office was in desperate need of a makeover, so the opportunity to do a little spring cleaning with eBay couldn't have come at a better time. I was gifted an eBay Gift Card, which basically means I had the world at my fingertips! Anything I could imagine, I could find - and scoop up with one card. Shopping with my eBay Gift Card meant finding the best values and those special items I needed for my unique space and organization needs.

That's why spring cleaning couldn't be easier with an eBay Gift Card. Whether you're cleaning out your closet, making over your wardrobe or starting a renovation project (indoors or outside), eBay has all the fresh new things you need to complete your project. And, that's why the eBay Gift Card in and of itself would make a great gift for friends and family for spring or any other occasions!

Here are 4 ways I'm spring cleaning my office, plus the perfect eBay finds to make it happen:

Yesterday I did an informal poll on my Instagram Stories asking fans to choose my next shopping destination and got a ton of requests for LOFT! I feel like it's been ages since my last trip to LOFT so I was excited to go see what was new. For spring, LOFT is definitely all about bold shoulders, bright yellow, and pretty floral prints.

Standout pieces include this meadow dress (ruffles and stripes, what more could you want), this striped bell sleeve top (go bold or go home), and a yellow lily print blouse (which I couldn't find online but you can see a photo of it if you scroll down. There's also this scarf in the same print.)

I know a lot people feel they can't pull off the color yellow but I'm obsessed. Research shows that wearing yellow makes you feel happier, and you can't argue with science! Not convinced? Just check out this lace top and this lace skirt (both now 40% off), or these shorts. So good.

I will admit I'm not an expert LOFT shopper, so I'd love to know your tips and tricks for getting good deals. I loved this utility jacket ($108) and this vine ruffle shirtdress ($89.50 - looks nursing-friendly, regular-bra-friendly, and perfect for Easter/spring celebrations) but I'd have to wait for a sale before I buy.

Overall spring is looking really bright at LOFT. Let me know what you're loving/buying in the comments.

I am 5’3' so sometimes the midis can be odd on me. This was great. [My friend] bought it too. She is a little shorter than me and it worked on her, too."
