We are in the midst of spring and that means spring break. The first thing that comes to our minds is beaches, sun, and relaxation. And even though we may not have plans to sit on the beach or bask in the sun, we still love the idea and style of spring break. There is something so carefree and whimsical about the whole thing and we can’t get enough of it! Summer whites, cool and deep blues, colorful prints, and pastels are all on the style menu. And days of relaxation and cool drinks are on the actual menu. So sit back and relax, even if it’s only in your backyard because spring break is here!
For your Tabletop
Keep it light and breezy. Whites, blues, creams, greens, and/or pastels. To give your tabletop the essence of spring break don’t over complicate the design. A simple white tablecloth with a clean and inviting place setting will do the trick! Add some spring appropriate flowers with color like hydrangeas or tulips and your table will be the essence of a chic spring break style.

For your Outfit
Keep cool in light layers and spring colors. Think resort style meets brunch style. Dresses, shorts, and tank tops will give you the style you need to keep you looking cool all spring long!
