I know we have all heard of the term ‘fast fashion,’ but what about ‘slow fashion’? Well, today I want to introduce to you an Italian brand that supports this slow fashion movement. Marta Scarampi is founded on the belief that handmade, quality pieces are the only way to shop. Let’s take a closer look at some of my favorite timeless pieces of theirs.

Mid-Week Musings | Vol. 25
Max and Sparky are a total mood this week! It has been cold or rainy all week long which just makes you want to take a nap. Thankfully it looks like it will clear up this weekend. I know it’s April showers brings May flowers, but dang it’s only March! So today I want to look at another volume of my Mid-Week Musings series. Since we are nearing the end of the month, let’s talk about my March favorites. This seems to be a reader favorite.
Mid-Week Musings | Vol. 24
Good morning! How is everyone enjoying their week? My week has been a tough one. With a heavy heart I wanted to share with you all that Joy has passed away. I know that she is now at peace and enjoying some sunshine like she is in the photo above. She loved being outside and made friends with everyone she met. We are so grateful to have had her in our home for the last year of her life. If you have lost a pet, then you know how hard it is. Formerly she was my parent’s cat, so it is difficult to lose her since she has always reminded me of them. Thank you for the outpouring of love on this post. It means the world to me!
So for today I wanted to revisit my Mid-Week Musings series. These items are some of my current spring favorites. Also, I want to share with you that today is the last day of the Shopbop Spring Forward SALE. Take 20% OFF with code FRESH. Continue reading through for even more spring sale alerts!

Talbots is a brand I always love to partner with because they offer a varied assortment of styles, colors, fits and fabrics in sizes for all different body types (size 0-24). Made by women for women, they seek to include everybody. This makes their looks not only stylish, but also the perfect fit. Let’s take a closer look at one of my favorite looks for upcoming spring travels. Bonus: Read all the way through for a special sale alert – 25% OFF sitewide!
