Style Inspo: Lulie Wallace
Hey friends! I hope your weekend was lovely because mine definitely was. I'll post a couple pictures later but it consisted of exploring more of Memphis and doing it with the very best of friends. Now I'm ready to tackle this (short) week! Okay, about this post. This is something that I've wanted to do since, like forever, and I'm finally including it on the blog. Art is incredibly important to me and I love to surround myself with it. I've always found incredible inspiration from it for everything: color, my art, design, decorating, etc. And on Gals + Grace I wanted to start featuring outfits inspired by my favorite art. Now its a great idea in theory and I'm still working out all the kinks in this post (so bear with me) but I sincerely hope you enjoy! All feedback would be much appreciated: layout, price point, the art, etc. Drop a comment or two if you wish! Happy Monday!
The art: A perennial favorite - Lulie Wallace of Charleston, SC. I love her because they're easy, full of life, color, and quirky. Check out her work here and here at Anthropologie.
The fashion: Yellow sundress / Sole Society tan sandals / Aztec purse / Juicy Couture daisy earrings, similar here / Brooks Brothers raffia sun hat

Dreamin' of Summer Espadrilles
Does this ever happen to you? You see something once and it gets stuck in your head? Well, a pair of flat espadrilles for summer has gotten into mine. I honestly think they would be the easiest shoes to wear. And comfortable not to mention. In all reality I fell in love with a similar Chanel pair on my ever-favorite Julia of Gal Meets Glam. Then Mackenzie of Design Darling has been swooning over a few Tory Burch options: like these, these, and of course a metallic pair, these. Which, I'm not Tory-fanatic but she does this style in the absolute best way possible. I'm dreaming of slipping a pair on with an easy, light dress like above and a jean vest: voila! Quick, effortless and chic.
p.s. Also d-y-i-n-g over Mansur Gavriel's bag so I had to include on for fun, duh.

Currently Coveting
All I've been thinking about these days is interior design. I can't get my mind off of it. Nowadays I gravitate more towards home stores, the TJ Maxx lamp section, and don't even get me started when I see art - all more than any clothing store. When did this happen? I feel like this either qualifies me as a real adult or solidifies my love for interiors. There is something so expressive about the place you call home. I would even go as far to say its more self-expressive than fashion (well, kinda). Your home holds the things you cherish most. It says a lot about a person who displays family photos, music posters, or for me, art from my travels or made by me. We show these things off because we cherish them and are proud of them. Yes, we can be proud of a new pair of shoes (hello when I finally get my Louboutin's I'll be proudly strutting) but do you really cherish those like a family photo? Anyways, these items don't have much to do with my previous spiel but I do love what I chose: light teals, golds, and whites. Those are definitely some of the colors I gravitate towards when decorating, not to mention a little mid-century modern furniture style for good measure. What are some of your favorite decorating colors? Styles?

Spring Flats
Aren't all of these so fabulous and just make you ready for spring and summer?! I've gotten out of wearing flats these days but since I'm interning this summer I think they will find a way back into my closet. These kelly green ones have my vote! What are your top picks?

Easter Sunday for You
If you're from the south, you probably understand what Easter Sunday means for most people. The first chance to break out those summer sandals and spring dress. Here I've rounded up some great looks for this upcoming Sunday. The French Connection dress on the right is to-die-for but I'm hoping to sport a hot pink dress. As you can probably tell, I'm really into neutral or nude sandals these days. They are just too good and go with anything. If I had any recommendations for an investment this seasons it would be these: flats and heels. Happy shopping!
Mesh dress / Miss Selfridge pink dress / Going out dress / Topshop heeled sandals / LOFT strap shoes / American Eagle Outfitters high heel sandals / Kate Spade hinged bracelet / Kate Spade pink bangle bracelet / Kate Spade earrings / Humble Chic gold cuff bracelet / Juicy couture earrings / Teardrop necklace

Wishing for: Long Necklaces
Y'all, I was the post child child for the huge, brightly colored statement necklaces. Don't get me wrong, I love them and probably always will, but I see myself quietly moving out of that phase. Instead, every outfit I plan I envision a cool long necklace with it. Problem is... I only own 1. Yes, 1. So I' m in dire need of more! I really want a gorgeous raw gemstone one like the fabulous purple one above, but those come in with a little higher price tag. Instead I found great options like the turquoise tassel and purple/gold arrow one. What are your thoughts? Anything on your list?
