SHOPBOP SPRING MUST HAVE: THE BUCKET BAG

Mmmkay people. Let's talk spring bags. This post was not one I thought I'd ever write, because for along time I did NOT like the look of bucket bags. I'm more of a big tote or small cross-body kind of girl- but after seeing them EVERYWHERE and checking out the bucket bag assortment on Shopbop- I may convert to them this spring.

There are some seriously affordable ones out there (like these ones) that make this trend an easy one to jump on board with. Here are the ones from Shopbop I'm currently digging:

These are the top 5 brands with the BEST bucket bags (in my humble opinion, of course):

DEUX LUX BUCKET BAGS

KATE SPADE NEW YORK BUCKET BAGS

MARC JACOBS BUCKET BAGS

REBECCA MINKOFF BUCKET BAGS

SEE BY CHLOE BUCKET BAGS

I'm totally boring and would probably buy a camel or black one if I got one...but there's something to be said about the peach & pink ones!

Which color bucket bag would you choose?

Let's talk about Peeps. 

I happen to love them stale- anyone else with me here?

Of course I had to put them in rainbow, cuz #everythinginrainboworder

If you already follow me on Instagram you're probs ready to yell ENOUGH WITH THE TULIPS ALREADY!!!!

But I can't stop.

They're too pretty.

I decided to try out the nail polish marble trick on eggs for Easter and it TOTALLY worked!

Check out these beauties:

I really don't drink much these days- but if I do, I try to make it a great beer or handmade cocktail...until this weekend.

Mike's Hard Lemonade's seasonal flavor is Blood Orange- and oh my gosh. It tastes like boozy orange pop and it's delicious.

So judge away for my drink choice- but I dare you to try it and not like it!
