As I mentioned last week - and pretty much any holiday - we have 2 different celebrations with each side of the family for holidays so we aren't rushing to two houses on the same day. For Easter my Dad's side of the family came to my parents house on Saturday for a lovely dinner. The weather was pretty gross so I had to take photos inside. Luckily I have a great photographer who can weather any situation ;)

I wore the same jacket for both of my outfits but styled it with different shoes and dresses. For the first day I wore a long sleeve silk dress because I knew it would be the cooler day of the weekend. I opted to not wear tights because I'm sick of having to cover up my legs for cold weather. I like to wear this particular dress with my fun Lanvin pumps. Such a gorgeous color that matches the dress perfectly.

Yesterday I helped throw a bridal shower for my cousin. We held it at a place on the water so I figured I would go with a watery-print looking dress! It was so cold though so probably not the best idea to only wear it with a sweater. But this is the outfit I had in my head so I stuck with it!! The shower went really well, thankfully some of the other bridesmaids were the vocal ones so I didn't have to yell to the whole group, ha ha.  I also made some pretty delicious french macarons (made to look like oysters) as a favor for the guests, see the picture below!

Fact: I'm obsessed with rings. As I'm sure you've noticed, I ALWAYS have rings on my fingers. I just load 'em on like Phoebe in Friends. I'm always on the hunt for new silver rings to add to my collection.  My latest find is a Larimar Bliss Stone ring. Larimar is a turquoise gemstone that can only be found in the Dominican Republic.

Many of you will also know I'm also a collector of large gemstones and their meanings (see some of them on Instagram: here, here, here) I don't fully believe in the powers stones have, but I do find that I'm drawn to certain stones and when I find out what they represent it's very fitting to my personality. Larimar is thought to have healing properties and assist with communication. For a SUPER shy person who's learning to come out of her shell more and more, this is a perfect stone.

For this post I let the ring speak for itself but soon it will be added to my plethora of daily rings. For that very reason I got larger than my usual size so I could wear it on a finger that doesn't already have a designated ring. Ha ha!

I wasn't planning on buying anything this month, but one weekend my mom and I went to Lord and Taylor to kill some time. Always a bad idea! I tried on 5 things and fell in love with a pretty blue shirt dress, luckily it was on sale for $60 and I had a $50 gift card!

As usual we had two separate Easter celebrations this year so we didn't have to worry about going two places at once on Sunday! I wore this on Saturday to celebrate with my Dad's side of the family.  The dress is not something I would normally buy but for some reason I was drawn to it and it actually looked good on me when I tried it on. Also helps that I only paid $10 for it!
