Tilden's blog started as an online portfolio where she would occasionally feature personal style posts. Over time these posts gained more notoriety and she claims that this helped steer her blog in a different direction. Now she blogs mostly about fashion and "the occasional lifestyle post". I love that Tilden shares my affinity for connecting with other bloggers and learning form their success. "[My] favorite thing is the opportunity to create partnerships and friendships with others that are genuinely passionate about the blogging industry". 

One of the things that Tilden and I found that we have in common is a love of laid back style and connecting with nature. Hence, our guest posting feature in honor of Earth Day! We have both featured earth tone inspired looks to honor the day and lead into our awesome and charitable giveaway.

I seriously can't get enough of printed pants.To me, they are the perfect piece for any outfit that needs a little something extra. They can be dressed up, they can be dressed down. You can pair them with heels, you can pair them with flats. No matter how you look at it, printed pants are the bomb and they are here to stay. 

The Splurge is the Kate Spade Broome Street Capri. It's definitely on the higher end of most people's budget at $228, but who can say no to this fantastic fruit pattern? It's light and fun, making it the perfect pant for all Spring activities. Pair it with flats (as shown in the picture) or spice things up with an espadrille wedge and you're ready for a night out!

The Save is the Tile Cigarette Trouser from TOPSHOP. At $90 they are still a tad bit expensive for my taste, but justifiable because the print is uncommon and they have a higher waist; a fit that I sometimes struggle to find. These would go great with a crop top and statement jewelry and could be easily worn well into Fall. 

The Steal is the J.Crew Factory Skinny Jean in Printed Twill. $49.50 is not a bad price for quality pants and I personally always love the fit of J.Crew jeans. Not feeling this pattern? No worries, it comes in other prints as well! 

What are you adding to your Spring wardrobe? Are you loving printed pants and shorts as much as I am?

When I first got my ears pierced at age 9 1/2 (that half really mattered at the time okay?) my mother told me I was only allowed to wear studs because otherwise I would rip my ears. Well, now I have an irrational fear of saggy earlobes as well as an affinity for stud earrings. I'll admit, I went through a stage in middle school and high school (okay so maybe more than just a stage...) where I only wore dangley earrings. Now I will occasionally break out a gorgeous pair of chandeliers for a function, but day to day is chiefly studs. Thus, I give you this week's SSS- colorful stud earrings to take us into Spring. 

The Splurge is Morgan Stud Earrings in Teal by Kendra Scott Jewelry. I love Kendra Scott and think that her jewelry is simple yet still gorgeous. These particular earrings are a unique take on the classic stud. They have extra prongs and the shape is more geometric which adds higher visual interest. 

The Save is Kate Spade New York Small Square Stud Earrings. This earring is slightly more square in shape which I love. It's a classic stud from a great retailer and I adore the color. Definitely a must have for Spring!

The Steal is Jessica Simpson Primrose Earrings. Simple and streamlined, these earrings are great to throw on when you need a go-to for when you're running out the door and need something that will match anything.
