When it comes to March, I start busting out my raffia pieces no matter what the weather is doing.
It’s the easiest way to add a bit of spring to your step and I’ve always loved the combination of a light spring sweater with jeans and a raffia tote. But raffia doesn’t have to stop with bags, below you will find a few key raffia pieces that I find to be worth pulling the trigger on.
This is the biggest bang for your buck off my list. It checks all the boxes and gets a gold star for style in my book.
If you're looking to invest in a bag that will carry you year to year, look no further.
This bag is very of the now. It can also be carried into the night which I love.
Celebrating Easter this year?
I’ve always loved Easter Sunday but sometimes it really sneaks up on me. This year I’m playing it super simple and easy so that there’s no stress on the planning. You won’t find a fully decked out home decor or perfectly coordinated outfits here this year! We’re traveling quite a bit over the next few weeks so I ordered a few things for the kids and I’m planning to cook a big brunch at my house with easy table decor.
Below are a few pieces that I ordered to spruce up spring. Tap here for more favorites and see the collage at the bottom of this post.
I’ve been itching for some new linens but didn’t want to break the bank. With two little ones at the table, spilling is a guarantee. So there’s no reason to drop an arm and a leg on expensive tablecloths and napkins.
I absolutely love this sage green tablecloth that I sourced for $70. I tend to gravitate toward green linens if I’m going with a color because it’s a great tone for spring or fall. The napkins were also found here but it looks like mine are sold out so here is a great comp. Jute placemats are here and my flatware and dinner plates are by Juliska.
I couldn’t be more excited to share that I am taking a big bucket list trip to Japan in April with my friends.
It’s something I’ve been dreaming of for years and because it’s a place I’ve never been to, I took a poll on social media asking for recommendations. I can’t thank you enough for the tremendous response. A lot of you asked to see the tips, so I decided to leave them here for you all to reference. Please note that I haven’t cross checked this list, so you may have to do some digging and research on your own. However, I figure it would serve as a great starting point for those of you planning a trip to Japan.
I also found this extremely helpful blog post on Bon Traveler which I’m linking to here (and I borrowed the image for this post from it!).
Have any amazing recommendations? Please leave a comment below!

Spring Break is just around the corner and it’s always a really fun time to bust out some fresh, early summer arrivals.
Our family is heading to Mexico and we are all sorts of excited for some fun in the sun, margaritas, and quality time together. I can’t wait to share photos from our travels.
Here are a few pieces that I’m lusting over for our trip.
I really love this dot print skirt to pair with a black swimsuit top and raffia tote. It screams summer ease.
Hello old friends,
Pardon me as I fell off the blogosphere for a little bit there. As you can imagine, life was feeling a bit overwhelming and a few things took a back seat while I did a bit of soul searching, housekeeping and ironed out the kinks in my closet (wink, wink).
Needless to say that I am back and feeling ready to blog. I’ve been keeping things a bit more unfiltered over on my “Basic” Substack page where you will find weekly selfies along with links to everything I’m wearing. I post every Sunday (for free) and an added 1-2 posts each week of my wish lists, collages and screen grabs. So feel free to head over there if you’re looking for more real time shopping posts.
So what’s new on Damsel? Nothing crazy really. You’ll find a weekly post here that’s the same editorial look and feel as I have always done. You’ll be seeing shopping round-ups, curated style hauls, beauty favorites and more.
Let’s get started with this week, featuring easy, elevated black wardrobe styles that I think are worth adding to your closest.
