Spring Faves: My Personalized Tote + A Versatile Spring Cardigan

I get stopped nearly everyday by women asking me where I found my personalized tote. Such a great Mother’s Day gift so I’m sharing the details on that, plus the versatile spring cardigan that can be worn four ways. Talk about practical!

Mother’s Day is May 8th this year. For easy shopping (i.e. to save you some errands!) I have the most thoughtful and beautiful gift ideas linked in the Gift Idea tab at the top of my blog. You can browse those anytime but over the next few weeks I am going to be highlighting some of my favorites.

I have written about Barrington Gifts several times – their personalized totes and leather goods are always on my gift guides because they are well-made and everyone seems to love their products! My St Anne’s Monogram Stripe Tote can be customized with the pattern, color, and monogram of your choice. (I chose the light blue gingham with navy/mint stripe). This tote would make a fabulous Mother’s Day present – a great gift to split with your siblings!

And it’s more than you want to spend, check out the other cute accessories from Barrington Gifts that can be customized the same way including makeup bags and baggage handle wraps for suitcases! Note: these products take about 10 days to arrive so plan accordingly!

Okay, I have to tell you about this cute cardigan I recently purchased. A few Sundays ago as I was scrambling to get ready for church I could not find any lightweight cardigans to go with my dress. I realized it was time to invest in a new one!

This melange three-quarters sleeve sweater is perfect when you need a little something covering your shoulders in a cold restaurant or paired with white jeans and a tank for a casual spring look. I love that you can let this spring cardigan hang loose or button it up for a smart look.

And how cute that you can tie it up, too!

Mine is a medium because I am tall and like it to hang a little longer on my body when I button it up. But I probably could have worn a small as well. Here are the four ways you can wear this cardigan:

My peachy color is sold out, but there are 1o more beautiful colors here, including white and a pretty sandshell color which I also bought as just as a good neutral cardigan this spring. My tank is also a really good fit – has a little stretch in it.
