We're having major #coachellaenvy over here. What are they doing / what are they feeling / what are they saying / what are they wearing / how does the desert sun feel / how good are the margaritas??? 

At least we know what they're 'gramming.

Spring #blooms are getting more and more beautiful. After a dreadfully long winter, nothing brightens up a space quite like a fresh set of flowers. Insta-muses @devonrachel, @aninebing, @louisepando, and @harperandharley are adding the fresh decor to breakfast nooks, powder rooms, and meditation zones. @Ttomasihill, @100layercake, and @smashleybell got a little more creative with their #blooming displays - but we fancy both just the same.

We're constantly scouring thousands of blogs, Instagram muses, and newsfeeds to stay inspired by the freshest concepts. Check out our favorite trends from from this week's scour that have us antsy for summertime happiness:

1 | white outerwear and chunky art deco-ness

2 | the beachy "lob" 

3 | straw totes… or was it the puppy? both. 

4 | a cozy, crisp, bright & snuggly situation

5 | any salt water/cover-up/straw hat combo.

We're ready for you, sunshine.

The new bohemienne is a welcome departure from the flower child we all once loved. She is full of life, yet refined. Her fabrics are worldly, her shapes are feminine, and her spirit is happy. She wears dainty, precious stones, delicate body jewelry, and whimsical scarves.

The seasonal transition from cold to warm is a toughy. We're always worried about the lack of sun-kissed-ness, the pressure to get back into shape after months of comfort foods, and the transition from chunky sweater goodness to sun-worthy knits. And, while we're SO ready to get rid of our beanies, we're not so ready to get rid of our beloved leather goodies. Here's how to do leather in Springtime the Uncovet way... 

1 - Pair your old faithful biker jacket with a classic Springtime favorite, like lace. Another good bet is to infuse a time-right trend, like overalls, to revive a piece from last season. 

2 - Add the same trusty jacket to a sweet, flowing maxi, for the ultimate easy-breezy, street-style-inspired look. The girlier, the better! 

3 - Sport classic and crisp stripes with leather bottoms, to brighten the otherwise heavy piece. Stick with sandals or tennies on your tootsies to keep this look from being too stuffy.

4 - A nude or pastel-colored leather  will never look wintery. Wear it with everything; so fresh!

Voilà!

Most of us have probably reached a point where our desktop looks a little something like this. Nothing is worse than trying to get something done with a cluttered desktop full of files upon files that require digging to unearth. A messy desktop impedes productivity and increases stress levels so today we have some tips for you to keep your collections of files totally manageable.

1. Keep your desktop clear Although it may be tempting to keep files visible on your desktop to quickly access them, it ultimately leads to clutter. Utilize folders to keep individual files off your desktop and you’ll immediately feel lighter and more productive when you turn on your computer.

2. Have an efficient folder hierarchy Keep your folder hierarchy simple and transparent. Keep parent folders for “Work” and “Personal” files and create a hierarchy of folders within them to avoid individual, rogue files floating around.

3. Accurately label your files When you’re in a hurry it’s easy to leave files titled as “Untitled-1” or something equally nondescript, but you’ll save time and energy when looking for a specific file in the future by giving your them descriptive names. 

4. Don’t procrastinate! The easiest mistake to make is putting off organizing. Sort your files as soon as you create them and set aside an hour every week or two to round up any stragglers you miss during the week.

5. Take advantage of free resources Free, online services like Dropbox and Google Drive can be useful to archive and organize files you aren’t actively working on. Pinterest is another great place to keep and sort all your favorite photos and inspiration.

Just in time for the weekend, we have a few quick tips to inspire you to keep your workspace orderly and efficient without looking drab courtesy of the This is Ground blog. They have a brand new product, the Cargito leather iPad Charging Case available for pre-order right now: Check it out! 1. Make use of wallspace with a pegboard If you’re running out of space on your table tops, set up a pegboard to make the most of your wall space and hang anything from office supplies to art.

2. Tame your cables Nothing says mess like a jumble of cables on your desk or by an outlet. Keep them neatly organized with a cord taco or cordito. 3. Put it where you can see it Stay on top of your task list by putting it somewhere visible from your workspace: on post-its or hanging clipboards. 4. Organize your files Avoid a build up of papers on your desk by clearly labeling your files and sorting them into plainly marked folders or boxes as soon as you get them.
