Cheers to spring, y’all! It’s finally about that time to store our sweaters and swap out the pants for easy skirts and flowy dresses. At the same time too, adding a few new pieces to a wardrobe is always a must-do. So when you can add a few new pieces to your closet with a one-stop, online shop, like Zappos.com things become about as easy as 1,2,3 in my book!

Next month, Rick and I are headed to Mexico for a destination wedding. He’s in the wedding party so no need for him to worry about what to wear, but I’ve been wanting to find a spring dress that’s both bright and colorful for a beach wedding. Yet, I also knew that I wanted it to be a dress that I could wear time and time again.

I’ve always loved Mara Hoffman for her exaggerated patterns and prints with pops of color that make you smile. The moment I came across this dress, I knew it had to be mine. I just adore the little peek-a-boo cutout back, playing on the diamond shapes, and the wrap-tie makes things oh-so-flattering! But let’s be real, I also have my eye on this shift dress and this striped romper for summer.

The search for the entire outfit didn’t end there, of course I needed to snag a great pair of heels that would pair nicely for dinner after the ceremony on the beach.

Block-heels are one of my favorite things because comfort is a factor and who doesn’t want that?! I found these Steve Madden heels in a neutral beige initially, but noticed how many color options both Steve Madden and Zappos carried. What also sealed the deal on the heels for me, is how much mustard yellow I saw on the New York Fashion Week runways last month!

Since the diamond, geometric maxi is the statement-maker, I pulled from the blue-hues and snagged this under $100 envelope clutch, which also comes in tons of colors too!

After taking a final scan of my shopping cart, my purchase was confirmed and at my doorstep super quickly… PLUS the shipping was free! Let me just say, I am a huge proponent of free shipping and a great return policy – Zappos.com offers just that – 365 day return policy to be exact.

Shopping at Zappos is a breeze. I just love the fact that I can find pretty much everything I’m looking for in such a wide-range of products and possibilities. Zappos certainly continues to be one of my favorite one-stop shops for all things fashion related and I hope it is or will become that for you too! You won’t be sorry.

Wishing you a great Friday, friends!
