Here Are Lots of Cute Things On Order For Spring
The biggest disappointment I hear from my readers is when items are sold out. Today I’m giving everyone a head’s up on what I have on order so you have a chance to grab the items before they sell out. Here are the latest items I have ordered from several different stores and different price points. Some of these items have already arrived, and you’ll be seeing a lot of these on the blog in the coming weeks.
For sizing reference, I’m 5’6″ tall, weigh between 150-155, and I usually wear a size 8 in pants and a medium or large in tops. For dresses and swimsuits, I wear a size 12.
Chico’s
Chico’s is a retailer that I’ve been wearing for years, and I love that they focus on ladies that are over 35 or 40. The new arrivals are gorgeous, and I just kept finding things I “needed.” The Foliage Print Wide Leg Soft Crops and Foliage Print Blouse were the first things to hit my cart. I love bright colors, so I hope those look great once they arrive. I also have been wearing a lot of neutrals this year, and I can’t wait to style the Crochet Poncho and Square Dot Fringe Hem Crops. I just saw that they are having a 25% off select linen sale that ends tonight, so it looks like I need to go shopping again.
Talbots
Talbots is having their Friends and Family Sale now through May 1st. Talbots is a lot like Chico’s since they serve the same demographic audience. Both retailers have great quality clothing. I ordered more neutral items from Talbots like these navy linen pants. I plan on wearing it with this nautical striped shirt and navy sandals. I liked the Linen Ombre Stripe Palazzo Pants so much that I put them on here twice. Lol! I hope I only ordered them once. Haha! I ordered this white linen/cotton hoodie to go with them, and I plan on taking them to the beach with me in May.
Old Navy
Old Navy is a retailer that caters to everyone. Men, children, women, and they are also size-inclusive. That means that you can find most items in misses, plus, and petite sizes. I ordered two very colorful jumpsuits that I can’t wait to style for you. The Twist-Front Smocked Jumpsuit is almost sold out in the floral pattern, but it is available in a couple of other colors. The loose colorful jumpsuit still has plenty of sizes available since it just launched, but they won’t last long.
Banana Republic Factory
Banana Republic Factory is one of my favorite retailers which kind of shocks me. They carry mostly neutral colors and basic items. But, the quality is great, and so is the price point. The Twill Shirtdress and the Halter Trapeze Maxi dress have already arrived. I love the shirtdress so much that I’ve ordered the Oyster Pearl version also.
Kohl’s
I’m a HUGE fan of Draper James RSVP which is a special collection sold exclusively at Kohl’s. I can’t wait to get my hands on the gorgeous blue and white tie dress, and I’m crossing my fingers that it fits! The navy Summer Basket Tote Bag will look cute with it but can be carried with jeans too.
Walmart
I don’t have a lot on order from Walmart, but what I do is so pretty. The Eyelet Midi Dress comes in three colors, and I ordered the white and black ones. I wasn’t sure which size would fit me best, so I ordered the white one in large and the black one in medium. The Sleeveless Double Cloth Dress just came in, and I’m impressed with its quality. It is lined, so you can’t see through it at all. I’ve not tried it on yet, but if it fits and feels as soft as I think it will, I’ll order it in more colors.
J.Crew
My J.Crew order just came in today, and I love every piece of it! I sure hope it all fits because I’m keeping every single item if it does. The floral Slim-fit shirt is so pretty in person, and I love the look of the blue and white ruffle-trim striped shirt. Both shirts will look great with the Slim wide-leg jeans with the frayed hem.
Quince
Line, linen, and more linen. Who knew that you could buy linen pajamas??? Quince is a fairly new retailer to me, and it seems to be known for its $50 cashmere items. (BTW, I love those) I hopped on their website and saw all the linen items they had, and I might have gotten carried away. Lol! I can’t wait until they arrive to check out the quality and feel of everything.
Lilly Pulitzer
I ordered a Cane Tote last year from Lilly Pulitzer, and I loved carrying it all summer. Every time I carry it I get compliments on it. When I got an email from them showing the cork tote, I immediately placed an order, and I added the Beaded Hoop Earrings too.
I love hearing what was your favorites, so be sure and leave a comment.

Verse Of The Day
Psalms 27:4
4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
I’m thinking you must wear 3 outfits a day and have a massive closet. 🙂 Glad you put in the work for us!
Hi Tania! I actually tried on the Draper James blue and white tie dress this weekend! Unfortunately, the top of the dress was too big (xs-the straps of the dress were too big/long, so the top didn’t fit right) but the dress is absolutely beautiful! You will love it!
Hey Gurls, I want to let you all know that I received an email yesterday from Tania, and I am a WINNER of a $50 Amazon gift card for sharing her site with friends. She really does give out gift cards. I’m so excited! I’ve been eyeing a dress on Amazon, but I just haven’t been ready to hit the “buy” button, and so I’ll be hitting the button soon. Thank you SO much Tania. I love your daily emails with all your fashion ideas. Some of the things you’ve shown, I’ve already been doing or wearing. I’ve purchased some things and have just loved them. Thank you again for the Amazon card. Cathy B
YAY!!! I’m so glad you got to buy something you’d been eyeing.
I love the Lilly cork tote! So pretty.
Bought three items from Old Navy today – one from your link.
I’ve bought several things from Quince–cashmere sweater, linen shirts, cotton sweaters, even a leather purse. I have found the quality amazing. The customer service and free 365-day return policy is a huge plus! If I have to return anything, I just do it for store credit, because I know I’ll be ordering something else soon. I plan on trying some of their jewelry next.
Wow! So many lovely things! Thanks for doing the shopping for us, Tania!
Forget the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes! I want a shopping spree to Talbot’s!
Lol!!!
Everything is so gorgeous – you must have added another room or two to your lovely home to accommodate all those clothes!
I love the eyelet dress from Walmart; thanks for the heads up!
First of all thank you for the sweet snack idea!! I love sweets! Also thanks for the heads-up about the new clothes! Have a great Saturday!
I missed the peanut butter power snack recipe? Can you post it again or tell me where I can find it. Thanks!
I never heard of powered peanut butter, sounds delish. Can you get it at the grocery store?
Jumpsuits are my current fav, love the one and done.
Yes, most grocery stores carry it. You just add water.
Been using powdered peanut butter for at least 10 years, best product ever. Just ordered some chocolate powdered peanut butter from Amazon.
LOVE those Old Navy jump suits. My girls will love them.
Tania, some really good ideas. I’m shopping today!!
Thank you for the peanut butter recipe. My daughter gave me a jar of powdered peanut butter and I haven’t used it at all. She uses it in smoothies and will give some to her dog in his calm down toy. I do t drink smoothies but I like peanut butter on apples. She also said it’s lower in calories. I’ve got to try it now.
Chicos is my go to store! The colors this season are gorgeous!
Gosh…so much to look at saving me a ton of time shopping!!
Thank you!
Susan, that made me laugh. Yes, I’m saving you lots of time, but I’m not sure if your bank account will thank me. Lol!
I love these posts Tania. It’s like you do all the shopping for us. Great choices. Time to shop. Thanks for all you do.
I love reading your blog and shared it was a friend today, keep up the good work! God Bless🙂
Love all the choices, my fave is the oyster shirtdress, and the Draper James blue dress. loved the tote bags too!
You have lots of cute & pretty items picked out!
I put my powdered peanut butter in oatmeal and also plain yogurt. Delicious!
Joe has been putting it in his oatmeal this week, and loves it.
I love all your picks. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of great ideas here! Love the Lily Pulitzer tote! I’ve heard of Quince but have yet to order anything so I’m looking forward to you styling and commenting on what you’ve bought.
Thank you Tania. I love to look good but shopping is so much work and your posts have made it fun and easy.
You know I’m a Chico’s girl. I love that black maxi dress and those crops with the scalloped hem. I’m definitely checking out the Talbots navy linen pants and nautical striped shirt! Thanks for posting!
Great picks! I love that Chicos Poncho!
I love that you included Lilly Pulitzer! I sometimes forget how cute their clothes and accessories can be for summer. You knocked it out of the park with so many floral prints! Thanks for your hard work!
Wow! So many great items!! Thanks for sharing and giving us all these ideas!! We better get ordering!!
I love so many of these items and there are some cute shoes too!
I have tried peanut butter powder but only adding it to protein shakes. Love your idea with pecans and the chocolate syrup – what’s not to like?!?
Hi Tania, Awesome post!! Ordering before they sell out Have a blessed day
Debbie
Love all these especially the jackets from Talbots. I just went to Chicos last week for the first time. The sales associates were super helpful and I love the quality of their clothes.
Thank You for the peanut butter pecan recipe. That sounds fantastic and easy and a healthier snack.
Try putting the powdered peanut butter in low-fat vanilla, caramel or dulce le leche yogurt and then dipping your apple slices in that. It’s a delicious treat that’s high in protein, fiber from the apple, but not high in calories. And absolutely delicious!!
I’ve had the floral J Crew shirt on my radar this week! So glad to hear it looks great in person!
