I’m talking white blazers, y’all. They’re important. Why? ‘Cause they make you look like you half tried when you didn’t, really. I’ve owned an ivory one for forever, but I’ve always had my eye out for a really good white one for a while now…. There’s just something about crisp-white that commands attention. Enter: Nordstrom.
Beachin' it in Cabo
Still going through mannny, many photos from my recent vacay in Cabo, but here’s a first look at this gig. I decided to start off strong (before I lose my nerve) with a swimsuit post. Kind of like ripping off the bandaid. 😉 I can’t say enough great things about this suit, but in short,
Get that Summertime Swing
So, I almost forgot we shot this cute little number right before we left on vacay – whoops! I. Love. This. Dress. It’s sturdy, it packs/travels well (took it on my trip!), and has theeee cutest bell-shape ever. Incidentally, its swing shape also makes it perfect for summer-hot days, because it doesn’t touch your body.
Picnic Date
I’m backkk from one amazing vacay!! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know my mister and I have been in Cabo this past week – sans kiddos. So. Incredible. (Our deepest thanks and apologies and pledges of lifelong servitude to the dear grandparents for making that happen!!) Before we left, we had a whole,
The Skinny on Overalls
I’m talkin’ overalls, today, ladies. I had pretty much written off the overall trend for good, because the few pairs I tried were either so baggy, I felt schlumpy, or they had the cut and fit that was absolutely perfect for a toddler. Not a cute look for this old mama. Now. If you’ve read my two
Haberdashering Around
So, I’ve been on the hunt for a good panama hat for a while, now. For some reason, most of them fit super small, or have this weird, buldgy, bubble thing going on, on top. End result: not flattering. Enter good ol’ Madewell…. Their panama hat is the product of a Biltmore collab. “Eric Lynes, the
Caboose Coordinated
Oh. My. Flares. I recently bought the pair I’m wearing in this post from Madewell, and literally gasped when I tried them on! The fit is perfection. I’m such a happy mama right now! Madewell strikes, again!!! Cropped Shirt: J.Crew (sold out – similar) | Flares: Madewell | Square Scarf: H&M | Sunnies: Ray-Ban |
School Boy Meets Girl
It was so great to visit San Francisco last week! I had just recently taught my older two kiddos about the 1906 “Great San Francisco Earthquake” in our history class, so when we announced our arrival, as we started driving through this wonderful city, my 6-year-old son gasped, “Wow!” He looked quickly all around, and then
Boy Shorts
So. Boy shorts are pretty much the best summer staple ever. I recently bought a pair from Madewell, and find myself reaching for them all the time, now that it’s getting summer-hot out. I styled this pair with my “glasses” top, again. Repeat offender, I know, but I actually shot both of those looks the
Not-So-Mumsy Mum Suits
“Some people are cuter than us.” This is what my 7-year-old daughter stated flatly to me the other day, with a big ol’ question in her eyes. It came out of nowhere, and caught me by surprise. The way she said it, sounded like she was internalizing this new idea that she was somehow not special.
