Crisp and Clean Neutrals

I blinked and the first month of 2019 has passed. Sometimes I just want everything to slow down. All I have wanted to do this month is organize, plan and think about goals and strategies for the upcoming year. I have more to do and figure out before the month ends.

That mood has carried over into my style…after all of the festivities, sparkle and shine from the holidays, I have been craving is crisp and clean neutrals. Elegant, understated pieces have just the right vibe and I am sharing some of my favorites below.

I love the soft, neutral colors in this cozy sweater…pair it with white or light colored denim and add your favorite sneakers. Available at revolve.com.

I have a difficult time resisting white dresses…they always look so chic. Black Halo has a gorgeous collection and this ruffle detail dress is a timeless style that will look lovely for seasons to come. Available at shopbop.com.

It doesn’t get more crisp and clean than this white blouse with dramatic sleeves. Dress up as shown above with my favorite Zara leggings or wear with lightly distressed denim for the weekend. Available at shopbop.com.

I adore all things rose gold and this sweater is no exception…it has a subtle shimmer and pairs perfectly with white. Available at revolve.com.

So simple and so versatile…I can think of oodles of ways to wear this polka dot blouse. Available at shopbop.com.

This velvet dress with shirt detailing is a fun option for winter evenings out…just add tights and boots to complete the ensemble. Available at revolve.com.

This creamy-tan colored shirt is the perfect neutral and actually has a gorgeous sheen that you cannot see in the photo. It is soft and perfect for weekend wear. Available at revolve.com.

Another white blouse makes the list…it is ultra flattering with its tie waist. Available at revolve.com.

All of these styles are excellent options to incorporate into your wardrobe because they are classic pieces that can be worn for seasons to come.

The Prettiest Carafe Set + Lavender Lemonade Recipe

The Prettiest Carafe Set

+

Lavender Lemonade Recipe

When it comes to serveware, I typically like things that are clean white and clear glass. If I am adding color, I will do it with table linens, flowers or the food or drink itself. However, when I saw this pretty floral set, I could not resist. Over the past few years, my entertaining has transitioned from elaborate dinners to lighter fare…often just apps or desserts and this set is perfect for an afternoon with friends. I created this lavender lemonade recipe to serve but you could also use a sangria or punch.

Lavender Lemonade

Ingredients

Serves 10

(you will need another pitcher as the above carafe only holds 3-4 servings)

2 cups sugar

7 lavender sprigs, including stems

2 cups fresh lemon juice (use approximately 10 lemons)

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (use approximately 4 limes)

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat and add lavender sprigs, lemon and lime juices. Let mixture chill, then strain. Once lemonade is chilled, serve in this pretty set.

Just add a plate of macarons and you are ready for a cozy chat with friends!
