It’s Friday! We made it to another weekend, friends! And with Mother’s Day this Sunday, springtime celebrations abound! While I’ll be toasting to my Mom long-distance (and trying to bribe her to FaceTime me while she opens her gifts), I’ll be celebrating the official arrival of Spring in Chicago. Flowers everywhere, rabbits for Ruby to chase on every walk, and a gas oven that heats up the whole house insisting that we grill dinner every night. It is goooood. And it also has me in a shopping mood. Enter my Pinterest faves this week!
Pin Loves
I love these tops. Maybe it’s the poms, maybe it’s how they both scream “SUMMER!”, maybe it’s the color (well, definitely for the coral one) but I want them both. Bad.
My bestie (this gorgeous #RLJBride) is getting married next May! She came to visit last weekend, we Derby’ed it up, and planned as much wedding as we could in 48 hours. She’s smitten with pink bridesmaids dresses, and when I see pins like this I totally agree.

I tweeted a shot of the surprisingly gorgeous light saber engagement ring I shared on Monday, it was a big hit:

via Charming in Charlotte
This Mother’s Day gift guide by Charming in Charlotte gave me so much inspiration for my Mom! And also had me add a few things to my wish list (maybe Ruby will check my Pinterest boards?) Especially these gorgeous rosy Ray Bans and these adorable milestone bracelets! But the new number one on my wish list is the Tory Burch Fitbit wrap. And, I guess, a Fitbit. I got an up band for Christmas, and I do love it (especially the silent alarm & sleep insights) but I covet my friends’ Fitbits, and now that there are cute, fashion-y covers for it, I might just need one.

Zendaya changed my life forever.
Jewels du Jour consistently serves up nice red carpet recaps with good detail shots on the bling.
Cheryl Kremkow stuck to the fringe and showcased the hottest jewelry trend of the night.
And the Fug Girls dissected the absurd and amazing, as they always do.
Diamonds in The Library’s Treat Yo’Self column is a weekly favorite, and I’m salivating over these Lizzie Fortunato earrings for $230!
Have a great weekend everyone – enjoy your graduations, Mom celebrations, and all the best that May has to offer!
