The day we shot this just might have been the windiest day I have experienced in a long while – perhaps ever – but in between mighty gusts, it was also one of the loveliest. Rows and rows of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, showering petals like pink fairy dust, was just a magical sight to
Pale Blue Sunset
Not gonna lie; this week has been so beautiful and wonderful in many ways, but it has also been brutally long, hard, and emotionally draining. All I have to say is…. T.G.I.F. !!! I hope we’re all able to enjoy a lovely, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend. -Carrie Mama x 4 + SMP Founder Shop My Look (scroll
Spring has Sprung
While much of the east coast is all bundled up, and bracing against the bitter cold, us Oregonians are baring legs and donning light jackets – just in case we get a slight chill (yes, I’m totally bragging). I cannot even believe it. It’s February!!! And I am not complaining one bit. I’m not even
Kisses for the Admiral
Happy Tuuuuesday! So, this outfit post is all about keeping it classic, and playing with proportions. I paired a fitted, slightly cropped, cutaway blazer (double-breasted is backkk!) with a flowy shirt dress, over some tan, leather-like, coated skinnies. I also added leopard pumps for some print interest, and a little forest green as a subtle
Revamp 2015: Back to Black and Blues
Resolved – to step up my game. Resolved – to be more adventurous. Resolved – to try new things. Sound familiar? There’s something about January 1 that elicits motivation. And then there’s something about January 13th that conjures fatigue. Most resolutions are well intended, but the clutter of life and disappearance of the holidays makes our
I Really Can't Stay..Oh But You Can!
At this point, we’ve been grinding through the Holiday Season with fervor. But how long can that last? Last week, I sneak-shopped gifts for my husband, hosted a Christmas Party on the Upper West Side, ran around to pick up 2 last minute secret santa gifts, traveled to New Jersey for a work Christmas Party
16 Hour Style
In the fashion + blog world, the term “16 Hour Style” has been trending quite a bit, and for good reason – most women out there are juggling home, work, fam, and friends like super heroes, and need an outfit that can step up and keep up. Now that the holiday season is upon us, outfits
Under My Umbrella (ella ella)
So. I’m pretty sure sweater dresses were made for cold, rainy days – especially this one. I love this cozy gal so much, I decided to style her in another outfit later this week…. For this first look, I layered her with a chambray shirt, a shearling jacket, and thigh boots. Can I just tell
Fringin' Out
Fall, fall, fall. I love love fall. The cozy layers, the changing leaves, the chilly air, the fireplace cuddling, the excitement of looking forward to the holidays…. there isn’t anything I don’t love about it. And adding a little fringe to the fall mix? Stoppp. Not sure I can handle all this fall-tasticness! So. The thing
Print on Print + Chambray
So, I wore this matching-print top and skirt at New York Fashion Week, back in early September when the weather was warrrm, and decided I wanted to fall-ify it. I added a some chambray, some thigh boots, and was feelin’ a little retro that day, so I went for a 60s vibe, too! Why not?
