Amazon Spring Fashion Faves

Sharing some of my favorite Amazon spring fashion finds!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that your week is off to a great start. This week, I’m getting everything ready for the launch of my new program. Newsletter subscribers will get access at the end of the week, and I’ll post the details here on the blog next Monday. I can’t wait to share with you!

In the meantime, spring is in the aiiiirirrrrr. I keep holding my breath for a cold front, but Tucson thinks it’s spring, and I’m ok with that. It’s getting me so excited for warmer days, spring break, and breaking out sandals and dresses.

Amazon has been killing it lately with cute options for spring, so I thought I’d share a roundup of my latest picks today on the blog. If you have anything you have your eye on for spring, please shout it out in the comments section.
