5 easy ways to update your home for spring

I love to not only update my wardrobe for spring but I also love spring home decor. When you brighten up your home with florals and bright colors, it really helps you out of those “winter blues” and look forward to the warmer weather.

5 easy ways to update your home for spring

Target is my go to for affordable home decor. I invest in furniture and art for my home but when it comes to seasonal decor, you don’t need to spend a lot.

Add color and florals

Fresh flowers are always great but the maintenance and then having to replace them weekly is costly and time consuming. I love faux flowers to help brighten up a room with very low maintenance.

Peonies are my favorite and the season for real peonies is so short, so faux is the way to go! You can arrange them yourself or there are a lot of great pre-made arrangements you can buy. Also, don’t forget faux plants! They are so well made now. I have both real and faux plants in my house and nobody can ever tell the difference.

BASKET || FLOWERS

Placing them in baskets makes it look very spring but I also love the idea of baskets just to add a different texture in your room. You can store other things in there like pillows or blankets or, if you have kids, stash their toys in there!

Brighten up your front door

There’s just something about decorating my front door that I love. The easiest way to update it is with a Welcome Mat!

WATERMELON DOORMAT

I love these colorful and affordable options. They are so affordable, might as well buy two to switch out just to mix things up once in awhile!

FLORAL DOORMAT

I layered this one with a checkered doormat as I liked that it gave it a bit of dimension. Don’t be afraid to layer and mix things up for your decor, the smallest things can make the biggest difference.

PINEAPPLE DOORMAT || CHECKERED RUG

Bring dimension to your walls

Changing up art is relatively easy as long as you have one blank wall that you can keep the nail in the same place. I switch out things like canvases, to framed prints but I’ve really been loving these tapestry wall hangings that really bring a different dimension to your walls.

RAINBOW TAPESTRY

Our walls are gray, so the white rainbow would really pop out but if your walls are white, look for something like the one behind it where it’s got some color and different textures.

Hide that clutter

The clutter in my house mostly comes from my kids. Not to say my husband and I don’t have clutter but it would be a lot smaller if we didn’t have two little ones and lots of toys, books and everything else that kids need!

PINK BASKET || RAINBOW BASKET

I already own these baskets and highly recommend them. I love the large size, how many toys they fit in it and that they are the perfect height so that your kids can not only help put away their toys but easily dig around and find what they want too.

Use the same style bins for organizing

Half the battle of decorating your home is just cleaning and organizing! I have been buying up these bins like crazy because not only do they come in a variety of sizes, they are great for organizing everything.

I have organized my linen closet, my pantry, my bathroom, my kids bathroom and so much more with these! And they are so inexpensive! I just like that they match and so when you open up the closet, it looks nice and not a bunch a mis-matched items all jumbled together.

Victoria Beckham for Target Review and Try On Haul

I went to Target early on Saturday so I could shop the Victoria Beckham collection.  I was so excited for this collab as I’ve always LOVED her amazing dresses but would never ever be able to buy them.  I love that so many of the styles for this collab resembled her high end line.

Here’s my top 3 picks that I bought but I did end up buying a few more pieces AND ordering more online.  I also bought a bunch for my daughter and she was so excited to see that she could be twinsies with mommy!

Victoria Beckham for Target - petite fashion review - www.iamstyle-ish.com

TOP DRESS DRESS

My last check most of these pieces were still available online so try to get them soon or check your local stores as I’m sure lots of people are doing returns now since you only have 14 days to return these items.  Also unless noted, I’m wearing the size XS and the pieces run true to size.

So I think I was most excited about the scallop dress just because it was pretty much the same style as this one from her original line.

I think the quality of these pieces are really great for the price.  This dress is a nice heavy weight knit that lays really nice.  It hits me right above the knees which is a great length for me.  The kid’s version comes in a blush pink which I think is so much cuter but really I didn’t mind the orange.  I don’t own a lot of this color so I felt like it was a good addition to my closet.  
SCALLOP TRIM DRESS
The gingham top was unexpectedly one of my favorite pieces!  I think I’m used to the smaller peplum hems but I love how this is a longer hem.  I love how it “bubbles” out a bit more and makes it more girly and fun.  
GINGHAM PEPLUM BLOUSE 
The rabbit collar dress is super cute on.  I love that it’s just a simple and pretty dress but with fun details like the collar and the rabbit.  This one comes in girl’s sizing too!

BLACK COLLARED DRESS

I kind of wonder why she chose orange to be such a big focus of her line.  It is a pretty shade of orange but a bit unusual right?  Anyway, I love this one shoulder bow dress but I found that it ran a bit bigger than the rest of her items.  

ONE SHOULDER BOW AND SCALLOP DRESS

I love this fuschia and I really wanted to try on the pants but they didn’t have my size and I didn’t end up ordering them as I think they would just be too long on me.  This dress is gorgeous and I love the hem.  The only thing I didn’t really love is the slight cap sleeve.  I mean, it’s not even really a sleeve but it’s also not really like a tank/shift dress.  I don’t know why but I just didn’t love the curve of the sleeve so I didn’t end up buying this one.  I didn’t try on the drop waist dress but I did order it so hoping that it will be cute on!
RUFFLE HEM DRESS
This dress is the same style as the scallop one above just with the print.  I adore it but I thought the print made it look a bit child like – which I was surprised that they didn’t do a version for girl’s/toddler’s.  
DAISY SCALLOP TRIM DRESS
This bomber and the matching shorts are so cute!  I love the color and the feel of the fabric.  They didn’t have my size but they did have this in kid’s XL which is what I’m wearing here.  It fits great and maybe a little shorter than the women’s XS but I think it’s still very cute on. There are so many cute pieces for kid’s so if you are my size, look out for the kid’s XL, you can probably get some cute stuff if you weren’t able to get it in the women’s sizing!
BLUSH FLORAL BOMBER JACKET

I shopped a lot of the Missoni pieces (well as much as I could) and I loved that collab but I kind of think I love this one more! The pieces are a lot more wearable and great quality.  I’m still waiting on my online order so if I end up loving anything else, I’ll come back and update this post!

My favorite off the shoulder looks for under $30

I recently got this top from my latest favorite place to shop, Target!  No seriously.  I’m so busy these days that I don’t really make it to the mall but while I’m at Target picking up essentials I always check out their clothes.  They have really stepped it up lately, everything is so cute!  I’m obsessed and have worn this top a ton already (as seen on my instagram).

I’ve actually purchased a few of these tops, they are all so cute and everything here is $30 or under!  I know there’s a lot of concern about buying from these sites that ship from China but I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Shein.  The photos pretty much reflect what is sent.  Sizing wise I still say true to size.  I’m mostly an XS in their sizing but I size up if the item is more fitted.  They have quite a few items that are “one size” which does run big for me but for the most part works out if the style is a bit more casual/baggy anyways.

Altuzarra for target: my picks and review

I was in Chicago for most of last week and when I got back I saw an ad about the Altuzarra for Target collection so after my husband and I grabbed breakfast, I stopped in to check it out.  I had seen the trench coat and boots in the commercials which is what I went to look for but of course, after talking to a sales person, she told me that those were the first to go and people had been in line already in the morning.  I still was able to find some cute pieces so thought I’d share with you guys!

The blouses caught my eye as I love button up blouses.  I own so many but they are so easy for me to wear dressed up or down.  I wanted to like the silky one on the left but I didn’t love the flow of it.  Most of my silky blouses flow really nicely on the body and tucked in but because this was most likely a poly blend it ended up being a bit stiff and stuck to my waist in weird ways and especially tucked in, it wasn’t the best look.  The striped shirt on the right did end up coming home with me as I loved the fit and the contrasting cuffs.   The quality is great, very soft and lightweight.   I’m wearing a size small in both blouses.

Orchid Print Oxford Shirt | Striped Oxford Shirt

I’m not usually one for these kinds of sweaters but I liked the shoulder embellishments.  On me though, it wasn’t the best look I felt like it overwhelmed me and the sweater overall was a bit big.  The embroidery detail is very well done and really pretty.  I’m wearing a size small but probably could have sized down.

Crane Embroidery Sweater

The python blouse is one of my favorites!  The fit is super cute with the shoulder puff sleeves and the pretty bow that you can leave untied as well.  This one came home with me.  It definitely looks more expensive than it is. The black and white blouse on the right is similar but I didn’t love this one as much.  I felt like the material was stiffer and showed wrinkles much more.  It also didn’t have any special details that I loved that I felt like all the other pieces had.  Wearing a size small in both of these.

 
Python Bow Blouse | Sheer Bow Blouse
I don’t have many blouses like this one but I just loved the embroidery and sequin detail.  I thought it would be cute paired with my faux leather leggings and boots so I brought it home to try on with the full outfit.  I’m wearing the XS here as the top is a bit more flowy and I didn’t want to look like I was swimming in it.
 
Sheer Peasant Blouse
This dress was super pretty and I feel like I have nowhere to wear it to but I bought it anyway.  I was so happy to find a maxi dress that fit me lengthwise!  The photo on the left I’m on my tip toes and on the right is wearing flats so you can see it’s a little long but not too bad and definitely will fit without alterations when I’m in heels.  The material is really nice, it’s like a thick silky material and I think is perfect for the fall and winter.  I’m wearing a size 2 and the fit is perfect in the bust and waist.  I also like that it’s not too low cut as I’ve found dresses like this can sometimes be a bit more revealing.
 
Satin Floral Maxi Dress

This dress is the only one that I truly did not like but it was mainly the fit.  I don’t like the hem lengths that hit exactly between the knee and the ankle.  It’s just not a good look for my short legs.  The detailing is really pretty on this dress and I think it would be super cute on someone taller. On the model, the dress is above her knee.  HA! Just shows you how short I am (or how tall she is).  I wanted to show you the dots and the sequins as it is a pretty dress, just the cut is not for me.  Wearing the size 2.

Peasant Dress

Here are the items I couldn’t find at my Target and are sold out online, I’m hoping to maybe snag a return at a Target store if I can!

Did you guys get anything? Any of you lucky enough to snag the boots? I’d love to know if those are worth tracking down!
