Wanna hear some good news? We’re more than halfway through January! I don’t know about y’all, but January isn’t my favorite month of the year. When Christmas lights come down and new years decorations are thrown in the trash, I’m ready to get rid of the cold!

That’s why you’ll find lots of spring-worthy hues in today’s roundup of the cutest new arrivals to hit the web. This zenith blue? A personal favorite of mine, and one I plan on wearing throughout the months ahead!

I loved how it was used in this adorable otomi bikini. Have you ever seen anything quite so cute! I am obsessed with the otomi pattern (see how I used it all over my bedroom here) and so when I saw it in this swimsuit, I had to pull the trigger. It’s much more than I would ever spend, but I’m planning on packing it away for my honeymoon… so it’s worth the splurge, don’t you think? See more otomi swimsuits here!

This week was insanely productive, y’all, including quite a few wedding things checked off the to-do list, and the return of my happy mail newsletter! I took a short break over the holidays, but am so excited to be back. Yesterday, I included my favorite self-tanner… this stuff! You put it on after you turn the water off in the shower, pat dry, and then you’re good to go! It doesn’t stink, it doesn’t stain, and it’s super moisturizing. Seriously, obsessed!

So if you haven’t yet, sign up to receive my happy mail here! Every week, my goal is to make sure it’s the happiest thing in your inbox. :)

Wishing y’all a wonderful weekend!

Love from Texas,

Kate
