A bird pooped on me while I was taking this photo. How’s that for glamorous behind the scenes info? Thankfully it was a teeny tiny little friend and not a hawk or albatros, so I guess that’s some good luck in itself. It’s also a sure sign that spring is here and nature is living it up on these fresh days we’re (finally) having. I’m doing the same and frolicking around in my comfiest striped tee and favourite sunny accessories is making me feel as free as that defecating bird.
I’ve mentioned my love for the brand Cuyana a couple times before (here and here). They have a great philosophy around ‘Fewer, Better Things’, they make a beautiful product and give back to the people that make their bags and other goods. What’s not to love!? As much as I adore my black Cuyana tote, I was pining for something a bit softer and more spring friendly. Wouldn’t you know it, my fella ordered me the Caramel tote for my birthday and I am totally smitten, with both of them of course!
A few people have asked me about SheInside and to be honest I’m a bit weary of mega discount sites riddled with thousands of items. But after a bit of research I decided to give it a try and found the process was a total breeze! I ordered this striped tee and it arrived within a week and without issue. It’s definitely oversized which I was going for but I’d be a bit hesitant to order anything fitted, although they have a seemingly hassle free return policy. Certainly can’t say it’s not worth a try!

OMG, I can’t believe a bird pooped on you! Haha. That’s too funny. The only time I’ve ever been pooped on was by a bunch of seagulls at Ellis Island in NYC back in elementary school… good times.
I always wondered about Sheinside, so this is good to know that it’s not total sketchball central!
I’m very envious of your Cuyana as well! I still have yet to make my first purchase from them, but I’ve been eying the black tote for a while now and kind of think it’d be a nice alternative to the Madewell Transport Tote whenever, especially once fall rolls around (jumping the gun, I know). How would you say it compares in feel, size, quality, etc. to the Transport Tote? Any insight would be helpful. By the way, this outfit is the cutest thing ever, and I heart it. 🙂
Shannon, you’re comments are the best! Sorry I took so long to write back. Yeah, I hadn’t been pooped on in ages so I guess it was time haha.
I know what you mean about sketchball, I was worried it might be a sham or have some catch but it was just as advertised. Quality is nothing exceptional but for a cheap fun tee it’s great.
I honestly debated back and forth for ages between the Transport and the Cuyana tote. I have no real life experience with the madewell one but I really like the color of the cuyana one and I knew the quality was great from using the black version. I don’t think you can go wrong with either though!
I’m always thinking about fall too! It’s just the best. Xoxo
love the outfit!! that top looks so comfy 🙂
Thanks Natalie, I’ve honestly been living in it! Suuuuper comfy and goes with everything. Xo
