Desperately seeking Seersucker

It's finally here! If you live in the South, seersucker season has arrived. Those who live north of Dixie can break out those lovely stripes, but I prefer to keep my seersucker in storage until Memorial day. If you wear your stripes too early you risk getting it spattered with mud, muck and whatever winter wetness is still lingering around.

1. Cotton Snaps // Seersucker Sunglasses Straps

I have a few pairs of sunglasses straps (croakies) from my time in the south. I normally wear my sunglasses on my head, but some sunglasses have a nose piece that gets caught in my hair. These straps are perfect solution for those glasses and any pair you don't want to lose overboard. 

2. J. Crew // Seersucker Demi Underwire Top & Seersucker Bikini Bottom

This is such a cute bikini. It's part of an entire seersucker swim collection from J. Crew that includes one-piece, tankini and bikini options. 

3. Modcloth // Give Me Amour Dress in Cloud

White on white seersucker is one of my absolute favorites. This dress (I think it's by Jessica Simpson) would be flattering on many body types. The sweetheart neckline is created by a faux-wrap front that ties in a bow on the back of the dress. 

4. J. Crew // Colorblock Seersucker Short

These shorts offer a variation on the traditional seersucker by colorblocking lilac and dark purple seersucker fabrics. 

5. Lilly Pulitzer // January Scallop Hem Skort

Lilly Pulitzer is the queen of classic preppy style with a twist. This skort would be a winner with a straight hem, but the scalloped hem adds the crown. And it has pockets!

6. Sperry // Seersucker Bahama 2-Eye

Sperrys have been a summertime staple for generations. This tan seersucker pairs well with jeans and will only help your tan when you wear them with shorts!

7. Greg Norman // Women's Seersucker Crestin Cap

This would make a great summer hat! The bright color and the lightweight seersucker fabric will keep you cool at the beach or just running errands.

My Favorite Things for March

March is my least favorite month. Growing up in New England March is monotonous, muddy and miserable. There are a few things that help me push through to April. 

1. Girl Scout Cookies

It's Girl Scout cookie season! My favorites are Thin Mints and Caramel DeLites (Samoas). Make sure you stock up while you can, cookies are only on sale for a limited time. Visit the Girl Scout Cookie finder to find out where to buy your cookies.

2. Freddy the Frog Humidifier

So far this March has been cold and dry. This humidifier helps me combat the dry air and keep my sinuses healthy. It works well and isn't took expensive. Its also really cute even if it is designed for kids. 

3. 8" Bean Boot from L.L. Bean

I love Bean Boots. There is no better footwear for trudging through the slush and muck that accompanies March. If it's cold I use a shearling insole, but you can usually get by on some good wool socks. Look out for more posts on Bean boots later this month! (Made in the U.S.A.)

4. Stuffing-Free Ducky from Kong

I'm puppysitting my Boston Terrier, Lindy (technically my parent's dog) at my apartment in a few weeks and I am so excited! She is incredibly spoiled, but I wanted to get her something to cuddle with while she is staying with me. I like this plush from Kong because it doesn't have any stuffing, but it's still soft and durable. Lindy also looks adorable carrying around a little ducky. (Made in the U.S.A.)

5. Life is Good St. Patrick's Day Socks

Fuzzy socks can make any day better. These are perfect for March in Boston. Life is Good is headquartered in Boston and the shamrock design couldn't be better for St. Patrick's Day!
