Our Sheepadoodle puppy, Dino (sometimes referred to as dirty dino and pictured above via instagram) has been with us a year now and although we love him dearly, he makes keeping our home clean a real challenge. He enters the house from outside and reminds me of pig pen from The Peanuts. So, I am pretty much vacuuming the floors on a daily basis. (agh.)

All this cleaning has me thinking of  my favorite spring cleaning essentials (while it’s still spring!). I love that so many cleaning products are eco-friendly, help reduce clutter and are now super stylish … which just makes the task much more fun, don’t you think?

Spring Break

spring break - california style

This image reminds me of the carefree days of spring break when I was a college student. Although I won’t be sitting on a convertible in a bikini this next week, I will be enjoying a little sun, relaxation and time with my family. I hope you find a little time over the Easter holiday to refresh too.

Friday Find: Capri, Lemon Love & Kate Spade for Spring

disclosure: This post contains an affiliate links, which means Simplified Bee receives commission if you make a purchase using this link.

 

2014 is Kate Spade’s year of “places to go and people to see.” This month the destination is Capri – Italy’s high profile Mediterranean island that has drawn celebrities, artists and writers for centuries. As you will see, Kate Spade’s new spring collection is inspired by the island’s resort vibe, ocean vistas and popular limoncello drinks.

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of viewing the new Capri collection with fellow blogger Michaela at the Kate Spade store in Palo Alto, California. I love it’s fresh, yet retro look. From dresses to hats, handbags to sandals, this playful collection will have you looking great for that spring break vacation!

Michaela (um so pretty, could be a model!) snapped some images of us trying on our favorite outfits from the collection. How cute is she above in that little black dress and bamboo wedge?

We both loved this casual outfit with “ciao baby” tee, capri lemon jeans, and t-strap bow sandals. Want it all!

Here I am (gulp) in a French navy dress with a full skirt and statement necklace. I have to admit, I felt uncomfortable in front of the camera! With Michaela ‘s direction, I think the images turned out okay! The dress of course is gorgeous!

I also fell in love with this beautiful floral lace top and gold knot necklace.

And how cute is this lemon slice clutch?

As you can see, I fell in love with so many items, but ended up picking up a pair of gold sandals for myself. But, I’m still contemplating several items including the fun accessories! Here are some of my faves…

Live in the San Francisco Bay Area?

If so, the Kate Spade store in the Stanford Shopping Center (Palo Alto)  would love for you to drop by and take a look at the new Capri collection for yourself. Be sure to mention the “Simplified Bee Blog” and they will give you a *FREE GIFT* for just coming by. Isn’t that great!
